I'm using a Mac to do bulk diarized transcription (STT). Most services run in the $.05-1.00+ per hour of transcribed audio. My Mac can do ~200x realtime (1 hour takes 20s or so). I can do several thousand hours per day. Its pretty incr

No. Same one. Their business model is basically selling business intelligence. The magazine is for publicity, although subscriber revenue is significant.

You should look into the economist a bit more. For one, they have no advertisers to keep happy. Edit: I stand corrected. A better way to phrase it is that their business model does not rely on advertising, and they traditionally did not run

You don’t take parenting advice from the Putin aligned, red meat only eating woman who arranged to have her father put into a coma by a sketchy doctor to treat his benzo addiction? If we can’t take parenting advice from that family, who can

I, personally, would feel better about it. Warrants (are supposed to) have judicial oversight and are limited in their scope. There's also a paper trail attached to information obtained from a warrant.

Look up some of the Flock horror stories. There's the one where a guy was surrounded by cops with their guns pointing at him because of a flock fuckup. He had a partial plate match (as in, some of the digits matched, but not an exact m

You could spend tens or hundreds of millions building an automatic system (certification for aircraft is not cheap or easy) or just hand the flight attendant a can of spray.

Lawyers fees for a case like that also include expenses, and this would be on the high side. Court fees, fees for accessing case law, experts, paralegals, etc. You pay the lawyer and a big portion of that goes towards his costs for addition

Is this an “alleged frontier flagship vision model”? This is described as a brand new flash model - still experimental - from a lab that is a side project for an investment firm that has never had a vision model before. That doesn’t scream

Police in the UK are held to a much higher standard, and the culture in the UK is much more tolerant of government control. I’m also going to guess that there are significant access controls on the systems in the UK that would prevent thing

Model providers want to smoke test their models without having flaws end up on the news (think gpt4 having to get rolled back for sycophancy). Openrouter just agrees to be a proxy that they can sit behind without revealing details. Openrout
