"You can lessen your dependence on a specific LLM implementation by not using LLMs" is certainly a take but it doesn't really address the root issue of models getting nerfed to save resources after they've gained wide ad

I agree with you generally but taken to the extreme this argument very easily goes to "precedents I agree with should be venerated because they're precedents and precedents I disagree with are wrong" silliness. "Preceden

Cameras like Flock which fingerprint the driver and non-registration vehicle information (e.g. light brightness, damage, driving style, etc.) to generate a best-guess as to the driver of the car absolutely does.

Why not? Going to a Dodgers game is not a constitutional right, if the business wants to make it harder for people to give them money that might be stupid but it's their right.

I don't want to blow your mind but choosing not to have a smartphone and being in a wheelchair are not remotely comparable.

Aren't these two different things? Should "upper-middle class income" refer to your income regardless of COL, or should it refer to an arbitrary measure of what you can buy with it?

Well context is important and this was in directly response to the (spurious strawman) claim that if you can't spend $500 on a phone then you are excluded from society.

For sure, but I don't know how much of their luddite-ness (ludditude?) is simply a byproduct of their faith or vice versa :)

"Just fine" for what? AGM88 is air-to-ground and manpads are surface-to-air. If you're implying that manpads work just fine instead of A-10s, you're wrong.

How about don't tell other people what they can and can't talk about, and just ignore side threads you don't care about? There are about 500 different HN browser extensions that let you collapse threads, btw.
