Nah this is definitely a real scenario. Getting access to public models requires a lot of security review, but proving through Bedrock is much more simple. I may be spoiled in having worked for companies that have ML departments and develop

Most of the tech blogs I run across are static sites. I understand the choice; to prioritize writing reads as pragmatic and I did that for a long time. At some point I got intrigued by being able to tailor my own editing experience and buil

The way I think about it you can become a millionaire by yourself through decent strategy, a bit of luck, and a lot of (the right) knowledge. Over $10M you start to need other people who are probably giving you some of their labor at a disc

Yes, I was being a bit facetious. It was snark intended to point out that corporations don't get to have their cake and eat it too. Either everything is free and there are no boundaries or we live by our own principles.

Well hell, by that logic average citizens should be able to launder corporate intellectual property because China will never follow suit in adhering to intellectual property law. I'm game if you are.

Rather than focusing on Holmes and her lover, I'd like to posit some other questions I have with this approach. Let's assume for just a minute that Holmes wasn't trying to rug pull and that she genuinely wanted Theranos to su

> I have to pay for a breathalizer in my new vehicle because other people can't follow the law? That's BS. Not to be too pedantic, but this is the nature of most taxes and regulation. It's part of living in a society.

I really wish people, widely, would stop blaming bots. I am sure there are plenty of bots doing lots of things, but by immediately attributing this behavior to bots I think we detach ourselves from a fundamental fact: there are a lot of US

Yeah, definitely not a statement on Aaron himself. More a statement on idolizing people. There will always be instances where they didn't live up to what people think of them as. I think Aaron was fine and a normal human being.
