"Hard" or "easy" has never been part of the premise. A company spends a decade and billions of dollars to develop a groundbreaking drug and patents it. I think of a cool new character called "Mr Poop" and publi

Is there a legal distinction between training, post-training, fine tuning and filling up a context window? In all of these cases an AI model is taking a copyrighted source, reading it, jumbling the bytes and storing it in its memory as vect

Plenty of enterprise server hardware (racks, servers, RAM, disks) does have an active secondhand market after 3-5 years of use, but I think GPUs are too specialized for it to be viable. I doubt anyone has the setup to run a H200 in their ho

How many times will the same report be regurgitated and reposted? There is nothing added here that the original source didn't cover already ( https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-... ). R

That's skewed as it is, but I bet it'll be worse if they count miles or hours driven rather than accounts registered.

Why is that bad?

The only value driving most things you see online is the value of money. Which is not the kind of values they are referring to.

Is it illegal to set a filter for a female gynecologist over a male one? Or a male gym trainer over a female one? Or a massage service, hostel, sports team? Is it illegal to set a gender preference on a dating app? Is it illegal to issue a

Does anyone have experience using this feature? I can't imagine it'll be easy to get matched with a female driver. From my own experience Uber/Lyft/taxi drivers are seemingly 99%+ men.

So Uber is finally dropping the pretense of "vetted drivers" and "strict background checks" and whatever else they claim in their advertising. It's good that women get this service, but I'd be pretty concerned

Do you think having women's only bathrooms is discrimination as well?

Not sure I understand this. Agent CLIs already use sandbox-exec, and you can configure granular permissions. You are basically saying - give the agents access to everything, and configure permissions in this second sandbox-exec wrapper on t

by paxys 8mo ago
These agents are all calling APIs that are well beyond your control. How does it matter whether a thin CLI wrapper is running on your computer or not?

Slack has a very permissive data export policy, as long as you are doing it for your own organization's data. What they don't allow is blanket access for third party tools. So there is nothing stopping you from taking all your com

Weird to see this kind of random Substack/X content on an official company blog.

You are describing source available. That is not the same as open source.

If the government-approved numbers are this bad the real ones must be catastrophic.

1. Asperite is not open source. 2. It’s okay for two projects to do the same thing, even if you personally prefer one over the other.

You can enact all the laws you want, but what do you do when the government in charge just ignores them?

My experience is actually the opposite. In the old days there was no expection when and if users would upgrade anything , so vendors had to take extra care to ensure compatibility or they would lose business. People in a single office coul

Soldiers have always been given cocaine and meth to stay awake and alert during battles. Guess their tech backup will have to do with nicotine.

And what then? People read through all of nyc.gov and the entire city/state legal code to find the exact statute that applies to their scenario? In fact government agencies have set up their own chatbots to help people with situations
