Yeah, I'm split on this because 1: I think people should be able to replace chips on an RPi as they desire, so I don't love that they're actively preventing this 2: As a buyer, I absolutely want to know if I'm buying a

Honestly, there's a real elegance to this model. I'd argue the best possible model for goods that have no marginal costs (aka IP) is the "pay me to create it" model. As in, let a creator decide how much they value creati

Most "closed coal plants" in the US are really plants that retrofitted to use nat gas. here's a decent recap (now a couple years out of date) https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=44636

Sure - but the content and intent of the article is clearly about understanding the geographic conditions that lead to sustained seismic activity, when that's not what our models currently predict. And it's hardly like we're

Yeah - my joke (that's only somewhat joking) is that you can think of nations as "planetary coral".

I'll ding Mozilla directly then - Since your "we can't do this yet" approach is actually the literal thing Chrome is shipping... https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/built-in/overview?_gl=1

Depends quite a bit on your university. Some are quite good at limiting connections, monitoring devices, and contacting students for suspicious traffic.

This is a rough explanation, but generally it does a couple of things that are helpful. Functionally, it's a "workflow" runner (ex - you can mostly treat it like a queue, where you've got workers that are picking up work

I think they'll push it pretty far. The modern structure of society has effectively given government a complete monopoly on force and violence. So the second a disenfranchised person responds with violence, it's easy to spin it as

History rarely repeats, but often rhymes. Modern feudalism will be the right to control your access to "required services" needed to be considered a normal member of society. Ex - who needs to get physically violent with you when

Sadly there's not much credibility for any participant in this industry. There's simply to much financial entanglement to take any statement at face value. So... No. Even if he means what he's saying, it's irresponsi

they literally would be selling it to me. I deploy browser extensions to millions of devices, and small local models that I can run in that space are incredibly appealing. But the "per user" model is just especially difficult to

I don't even really understand the complaint. I quite like the way Rivians look. It's a fairly generic body shape, but the headlamp and grille shape is distinctively "happy" instead of "aggressive" (this is a

50k annually for a static set of weights is actually crazy, though. As in - I make software for a living and they can fuck off. Produce the item. Sell the item at a cost you find reasonable. Convince me to buy it again with an upgrade th

Hardly need to add "Modern" on this statement. Hell - Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" is nearly 40 years old at this point ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent ) If anything -

This isn't making the point you think it is... Uber doesn't buy the cars because it's not profitable. They let the driver eat the depreciation, assume the capital risk, and deal with lemons and accidents. No one drives Ubers

They might be in the clear if they were solely downloading ( might ) but if he's also seeding then it's just copyright violations.

They discuss quite a bit of this in the video. I actually thought it was a decent walk through of why they're targeting the space they're targeting, and how they're thinking about exactly these problems. Some items to consid

You're not corporate America (and trust me, I mostly mean that as a plus). I also work in software, and while I vaguely disagree that open models can't be used (they absolutely fit into productive niches here, and holy hell are

Literally, what the fuck are you talking about. As in, please be more specific with your claims that we don't require identification to vote. Because it strikes me as a very low effort Fox News talking point, not any reality. Most stat

While I agree this is a technical path that makes sense, I'm not sure it's a financial path that does. Or at least not outside of very upscale, niche products for wealthy consumers or businesses. Which doesn't mean I disagree

I think this take holds up very poorly when the reality boils down to: "Government policy and critical services have made it so there are functionally two markets for mobile software, each owned by the manufacturers and developers of t

Yes - because the system is trying to prevent the flood by piling up sticks instead of removing the source of water. It's in failure mode (intentionally, is my read) because while it might eventually declare "x is not legal"

This line also undercuts the whole fucking article too. Because as it damn well says - this is POSIX working exactly as designed. I don't know why he's in here playing this up as some unexpectedly crazy, scary, dramatic music styl

I think it's a bit more complicated than you're implying here. Yes - you are technically correct that each country is taxing its own citizens/businesses with tariffs. I also agree that phrasing is more honest than what the a

In a lot of spaces, this is actually preferable. Ex - nodejs natively supports a huge set of typescript with built-in type stripping these days. But ask most hosted models to build a typescript project and they default to a heavy compile s

I don't really see a problem. Prior to this it would have been the millions of throw-away "hello world" intro projects, or "todo app" websites. Hell - think of how many people wrote "facebook clones" back
