I think that as long as actual human beings continue to contribute content, AI would eventually "refine" that out and incorporate that into newer models. Even if say, 95% of the content in the dataset is AI generated, it will stil

Congrats to the author! Marginalia is a great service. I hope they find a way to make it viable to keep going, either through donations or some other model.

This is not irrational FOMO from investors, it is the reality that to get up and running with a competitively trained model from scratch you need to spend millions. Software startups have traditionally not been very capital intensive, but c

yeah, they failed to boil the frog properly on this one. if they wanted to go this fast would have been better to just shutdown the api all together on like a week notice.

I am not sure if I understand your point. Are you saying that poorly written patents should be litigated, and that such a law would make this much harder to do? I can see how something like this could be an issue. Ultimately, I don't

The only way to fix situations like this is to make it possible to extract heavy penalties for frivolous patent litigation. The cost benefit analysis will always fall too much in favor of patent trolls otherwise.

People will go through any number of hoops to not give, "I like the feel of the language more", as a reason for using it. Clearly, the main reason you would consider using Elixir for this is just that. There may be benefits to Eli

Every week now there is a new AI thing and we are all worn out from trying to continually ascertain what to think about them.

The first large-scale AI disaster is under way already. It is concentrating additional wealth and power in the hands of the over-privileged solipsistic eye-scanning loons who happened to be in the right place and the right time to capitaliz

I mean specialized venture funds exist, which is somewhat close to what you are describing. I think the way you understand startup formation is wrong though. Most startups are not formed as ways to directly address existing desires or pain

These engineers are literally killing us with the mess they invented; making us pay for maintenance of the same. I know this is a topic in itself. But why are we paying them?

You're right it's much worse in China, but if Zuck did in fact tell regulators to "pound sand" on national TV, I think it's pretty likely Meta would start to see some new interpretations of laws enforced against it.

Ruling was 8-1, so if politics are happening, they seem mostly bipartisan in this specific EPA case.

There is nothing wrong with these internals. Hard-coded rules are not necessarily "spaghetti code". I sincerely doubt there is any reliable way to come up with a general solution without relying on hard coded rules (at least witho

The definition for public accommodation is purposely ambiguous, but so far, it seems no one has tried to make the case that a site like Reddit would count as one.

I think it's fair to expect people know the basics of how DNS works at a high level. For specific terminology, I think it's hard to remember without having some practical use for the knowledge, at least occasionally, so it's
