What I see as the ideal would be a world where servers and browsers could do content negotitation, and have browsers attempting first to request only the json-ld from the website and using its own internal renderer format.

Can't you find these higher quality mixes in digital format (FLAC, ALAC, high-bitrate Vorbis or MP3) directly?

You took a false dichotomy and jumped to an absurd conclusion. It makes you seem more concerned about an ideological position than thinking the problem through. There are other ways to properly fund universal healthcare that does not involv

Yeah, I make it sound worse than it seems. The problem of the public insurance is that you pay based on your revenue instead of your actuarial risk, so in the end it should be treated as an extra form of revenue tax. I could go for the priv

I live in Germany. No such thing as public hospitals. And I pay close to 1200€/month in health insurance to the public insurance company. I quick visit to the dermatologist to check for some tiny bumps that showed up in my forehead: 60

As an employee: your taxes are not that high, but public services are terrible so most of middle-class ends up paying for the private alternative as well. As a business owner: not so bad if you are a freelancing or just a few business partn

I don't entirely disagree with your sentiment, but context and scale matters. The damage a corrupt institution can make is far bigger than some "bad" individual can do on their own.

If the mix is the bigger issue, why does the media format matter?

This is multi-tasking and the opposite of "deep focus".

The problem is that this approach is not sustainable. Errors compound. The cost to fix one issue might seem small at first, but over a stretch of time all these "oopsies" become architectural spaghetti that can only be fixed with

Regardless of the actual value produced by the models, if I am the CTO of any company that has the budget to spend $10k/month/seat on Claude, I'd take 5%-10% of that to build an alternative in-house.

It's a bit of a left field question, but I am curious: Let's say that if the company wasn't paying the whole bill but only subsidizing it - e.g, if it paid 90% of the $4000. What would you do?

Run by civilians, but the funding would never come if the government didn't have military interest.

A "system where people can feed facts" already exists. It's WikiData. Why involve money and credentialism into this?

I wouldn't mind paying $20/month to https://wikinews.org to help them build a system that indexed news from different sources, threw the links at an LLM summarizer and used as a draft submission to wikinews.

Local conflicts do not get solved by higher levels, they get tapered over. WIth all the power and resources amassed by the Federal Government, one would think this could've been solved already, right?

We covered that below in the thread. The Apollo Program wouldn't exist if it wasn´t for the Cold War. The Manhattan Project also surely classifies as "effort that only get to be done because of War".

The moon landing is definitely a fruit of war efforts. Wikipedia is the opposite of a top-down process. Aqueducts and railroads: responded on a sibling comment. LOTR films: I don't even know how it relates to the point, but it's

What about them? These technologies already existed, the only thing that changed is that economies of scale enabled by the centralized power. Smaller tribes and villages could have gone by implementing more localized solutions.

Ha, and I flunked a "Fullstack Developer" interview some years ago because I didn't reach for npm or React to build a page that had a simple form to make a request to the backend.

No, ffs. You are missing that if they can do whatever they want with just "a small amount of labor", then the whole system gets to a point where Capital becomes the bottleneck for global productivity. People can not be trained f

No. You are getting it backwards. The premise is: even if AI improves productivity, we the people are not going to benefit from it . The mistake you are making is that you are assuming that a system where productivity per unit of labor

Just because we need entertainers doesn´t mean that we would be okay of everyone had to become one. There is such a thing as market saturation. Also, don't forget that even that can be automated away.

No. It's different in two ways: 1) corporations moved manufacturing to where labor was cheap, but brought back the goods to sell them. This only works for as long as there is healhy consumer market somewhere . If AI really gets to au
