Recently there seems to be an uptick in North-Korean attacks against developers. In addition to this type of attack, which has been going on for years, I recently get ~1 email a week from North Korean hackers. It's always a "Hello

Settlement would mean it doesn't become legal precedence, right? This outcome seems to be the best possible for Anthropic. Over 100B$ have been invested in AI so far, venture capital can afford to pay a few billions per big company as

Recently there's a few articles critiquing the Norwegian system, arguing that we are going towards the "American model" as described by this article. The second kids are scored, they are relentlessly head hunted and not allow

I'm just happy we get to reap the rewards "for free" (i.e open models are slowly becoming usable, and the winner of the arms race will definitely stand on the shoulders of their competitors that didn't make it)

This is what I feel about the Withings ScanWatch 2. It's an "analog watch" that can also do fitness tracking and show notifications if I want. I owned a pixel watch 1. It was too much.

I've heard a lot of negative talk about Californian politicians, but compared to how the discussion is going on in Norway about the same issue, this is great. It's very refreshing to see politicians actually understand the problem

Most people I talk to who use starlink in an urban setting are not in such a situation, they are just using it because "satelite internet cool"

I remember 10-15 years ago The Gathering, Norways biggest LAN party, had a wifi sponsor, and there were talks about how soon we don't even need wired internet, because wifi is getting so good with wifi 6 and all. Crazy thing to claim a

You are right about drones, but Starlink etc is still used a lot by forward deployments of troops. Afaik it has revolutionised the ability to contact these deployments. But I'm not an army guy

Starlink has its uses, but I really don't understand those who get starlink while living in built-up areas. Starlink is just a re-skin of the "Wireless optic" thing a lot of ISPs are pushing because they would prefer not havi

I think that's a very weird and dishonest take. To me, it reads as written by reflex rather than in good faith. You can point out that something isn't a good look and not be a pearl-clutching culture warrior, although for people w

As a side note, having "Weed Smoke Willie" be a featured game on the front page isn't really a good look. As the saying goes "birds of a feather flock together", and I think a lot of people will see that and think &

Is it radical to (through regulation) force part of the sales figure to go towards a trust that pays for CDN hosting+some simple server for authenticating ownership in the case of the service shutting down? It could even incentivize actors

If they are getting regulated to death they may as well bring the rest of the industry down with them, probably

Frankly, considering this is a laptop, I wish they spent more effort on delivering a flush 1gbe module rather than a 10gbe module. It has become an elephant in the room every time someone asks about my framework laptop. It... sticks out lik

Oh yeah. Strategic disruption technique or not its a breath of fresh air.

China aren't offering a cheaper solution. They are subsidizing an existing one (which is already subsidized) in order to gain foothold. The difference is that in the US subsidies come from VC, while OP implies subsidies come from the A

Living in Japan, most popular concerts are handled this way. It really really sucks to not get a ticket, and it sucks even more that we need to do it this way because of scalpers. But hey, if it means I overall have a better chance of getti

I can't decide if this is a "techbro doesn't understand human factors" post or not, especially considering geohots reputation. I do believe it is possible Anthropic are legitimately trying to start political discourse, b

Immediately the wallpaper looks AI generated, and for me that immediately removes any trust in "graphic design" and "attention to detail. But the rest is cool

Am I the only one who feels Boston completely missed their chance and fell behind by being slow on selling robot dogs? Chinese companies were quick to jump in and fill that unfulfilled demand. I work with robots and have never seen a Boston

I personally know other people who have filed similar complaints, and the Norwegian Datatilsynet explicitly stated they acted based on many complaints. I don't think they care about a single person's voice in this, even if they &q

Part of the problem is that even if you did a good job it doesn't really matter because the rest of the industry isn't, so no user wants to give you a chance

This should be obvious but why would you trust what the spade seller says about being an AI-native startup. Even if you believe AI-native startup is the future (the comments are divided), you would at least want to hear from an impartial so

That's good for you but the demand is so low SpaceX is leasing a considerable amount of its compute to Google and Anthropic to compensate. Regardless of whether it is useful, it is clearly not popular

I just don't see the average consumer ever needing more than 10gbit. In fact, I can tell you right away most consumers wouldn't notice if they were running 500mbit vs 1gbit. 4G has been enough for a decade, 5G was mostly just an i
