I think you missed the joke. I wasn’t talking about code comments, but why this commenter who professed the superiority of formal languages could only get his argument across in an informal language.

The top models by task is self reported. It’s based on the referrer header or some custom one I forget at this moment. If you don’t include that it just doesn’t count those tokens.

Openrouter is very transparent about where your requests are going. Every single one is logged. You decide the routing if you want. I trust it because there are at least 7 billion on the line. If it came out that they were violating their c

What tool? Even basic clients are now harnesses. A lot of chat interfaces are using memory systems, web search and other stuff under the hood. Not as agentic as openclaw, but not a straight closed conversation either.

A formal programmic language beats an informal language anytime. Why on earth would you write a comment in an ambiguous informal language when you could translate it to code?

The housing crisis in the west is largely not a lack of land or places to build, but an issue of building being too onerous for a variety of reasons. Inaccessible lake homes being allowed to be used as a primary residence will not fix it.

Greatly simplified: The copyright protects distribution of the material. Once they sell it, they can't keep me from taking advantage of it, except in regards to creating additional copied for distribution. I can, for example, quote it

The UK also handles class differently than the US which may account for a lot. In the US class is largely defined by current net worth. The UK seems to preference heritage and education for determining class hierarchy.

What’s funny is that up in Canada the buns look like the 2023 bun, and the price is still $1.50CAD. Indexed to the USD, the price is actually dropping in the past few years in Canada, and we still have the option of a polish dog (and poutin

The Costco hot dog is not a health food to most people, so I don’t think soda is a problem. Also, it is not possible to buy the hot dog without a soda. So really, people are going for the soda when they get the hot dog, whether they want it

Or they understand that ID numbers are a less than perfect way to identify people. I’m applying for a second citizenship. That means that I can have two national ids that are unlinked. In the US, you can petition to have your SSN number cha

It doesn’t matter what percentage of the books aren’t rare, it matters what percentage of rare books are getting shredded. As an aside, a lot of old things like “Memphis guide” are useful to a variety of researchers. Hopefully someone will

You are describing “piracy”. The laws against copyright violation are what require both the destruction of the book, and not distributing it. The whole thing is exceptionally stupid, and really, they should just download the archive copy of

You read and replied to my other response. It answers this question and gives you the laws you demanded and the terms to research the answer to this question. Have a good day.

I’m not your personal lawyer, and your tone is abrasive elsewhere. Google “lex especialis eprivacy GDPR”.

See my other response with citations. In short: the GDPR doesn't mention it but it is covered by the ePrivacy directive/regulations which does cover cookies very specifically, and which is enforced through GDPR.

You're replying to me, but I'm not the one asserting it. The GDPR law doesn't require it specifically, but the earlier ePrivacy regulation does and it is considered to be the guide for GDPR on this specific issue. Lex Special

Something being beneficial to a business does not make it broadly necessary, desirable, or - in many cases - legal. It would be extremely beneficial to businesses to put a clause in their terms and conditions that limit damages to 1 cent in

The funny thing is that it’s still going to be a fraction of the cost of jet A1 if they had the math right. The Dornier is burning around 300 gallons per hour, at current US fuel prices that’s more than $1k/hour.

I’m thinking they got this wrong by an order of magnitude. The region they did this flight in charges ~$.25/kw. So they would have had to do the entire flight with 20kw/h or an average of 40kw of output. That’s 60hp, or about a th

Not necessarily. Restaurants are nuts to get food waste down (I used to work in house at a large corporate chain and 80% of what the dev team did revolved around inventory tracking, and figuring out how to minimize unsold food). If you sell
