But why would I spend any time mastering this skill when we have AI now? Disability software that uses both the markup and the on-screen visual for decision making is likely imminent and would render most of this no longer necessary. Claude

What? Seriously, not at all. Anti-competitive practices is when you go out of your way to use legal agreements or practices, in an illegal way (i.e. from the starting point of a monopoly), to deliberately restrict the ability to use competi

When you signed up, you agreed you understood the line - which is whatever Anthropic decides the line is. Legally, the line hasn't changed at all, nor has your moral position relative to Anthropic. Don't like it, cancel, but it wa

There is literally nothing close to illegal about this behavior. You read the terms of service right, which provides a long list of explicit and implicit disclaimers?

Also they ain't wrong. In what other context does OpenClaw get mentioned? "You may not use our service if you mention OpenClaw" is a harsh line but hardly illegal or forbidden any more than any other service restriction (i.e.

But does it matter? If you write a program in Python or JavaScript, you have a terrible mental model for how that code is actually executed in machine code. It's irrelevant though, you figure it out only when it's a problem. Even

Imagine a drunk developer. Sparks of brilliance while missing obvious trees.

Heard this analogy elsewhere, but worth repeating: AI is like having the greatest developer who ever lived, but she is always on 4 beers.

The old kindles can still read all previously downloaded content. Amazon's warning is literally exactly that - you can't download new books or redownload old books (i.e. AZW versions).

What's also not mentioned is that the discontinued devices don't support KFX. KFX is the modern kindle format, AZW meanwhile is heavily PDF-based. KFX was designed ground-up by Amazon, supports every modern feature they could thin

0.82% of homes are burglarized every year. Meaning since 2015, you’ve got an 8.2% chance of having someone walk out with that box. Hopefully there’s nothing precious on it.

Not necessarily? There was a post just a year ago on how somebody jailbroke the kindle books from the web UI. I think the more plausible and likely explanations are: 1. Kindles take a beating when people actually use them instead of putting

With some research, that chip appears like it would cost about $300-$400 to manufacture, die only. For an 8B parameter model. Opus is estimated at 500B-2T parameters. At that scale you’re past reticle limits and need HBM and multi-die packa

I find it interesting this criticism assumes age-appropriate LGBTQ content isn’t a thing.

It isn’t, the author of the criticism is desperately trying to attach another issue to get people to pay attention. It also doesn’t make sense a Democrat from New Jersey writing the bill saw it that way at all.

Moving your finger is legal, holding and aiming a gun is legal, pulling your finger to fire a gun is sometimes not legal. Framing the gun debate as a restriction on finger movement would also not be productive.
