I'd argue that the guys in the chair 'optimizing' those vids might be the sleeper agemt you need to look out for. It is probably somewhat personal?

Yeah this didn't happen. If someone is cracy enough to practice with holes filled with glass on fire why trust them at all about being cracy in the first place?

It is like screen saver moving patterns or corridors with a strange field of view zooming effect. Nothing special compared to purpose made screen savers.

I have the opposite theory. I burned my self out on cheap and bad image gen meme sites like 15 years ago until the point I hated memes. Prior exposure to worse feeds gives like an analytical look on the vids rather than emotional. I am fast

When skip level bosses on my last job wanted to do boneheaded things in automotive design they usually had to keep asking different engineers until they got a yay. When it is pushed from the top it is hard to stop at ground level.

I think MS is mixing up the Xbox and Office ordinals.

A good reason might be that you don't want your private messages to be scanned by any third party in a conversation...

I like the concept "Goomba fallacy", but it is a bit confusing since Goombas are exactly the same, where as board users are at least me and not me. Edit: Keeping to SMB1 for simplicity.

> a 20-year-old laptop with a new battery is sufficient for most serious webdev and appdev work. Why do you need a new battery? I usually unplug old batteries in old laptops and just use them with a cord.

It is marketing for some SaaS thing. However, I think something like this, "verification loops with some sort of tricks", is what Anthropic and "OpenAI" do behind the scene with their interfaces.

Maybe MS paid the publisher full price for your "see what it is about"? Wouldn't be anything but Uber or Moviepass.

It is an interesting take on it. I think there is a lack of understanding on how politics work among many.

No that the critique of chat control is, I guess? It is quite disturbing that more and more ofent critique of policy or a political system like the EU is framed as some convinient boogey man's propaganda.

Yeah you'd need to compare this method with some classic method as a control. Otherwise "engagement" is just an indirect measure of how much the students studied.

It is rather vague whether you count Sam Altman et al. as "chronically online".

Sounds like a children story about not making a deal with the Devil? The implied part the children already know from other stories is: The magic elves have a recorded history of laughing at their customers when they are on the toilette, hit

It seems beyond naive, rather malicious, to upload any useful private data to SaaS LLMs. Like, you are letting them data mine your business. Why are corporations not panicing over this?

Sam Altman, good reputation? > With OpenAI, at least my gpt-5.5 is the same as your gpt-5.5. How do we know that? The "orchestration" layer probably forwards to different levels of quantization. And it seems tempting to make so

There are no upside for non Starlink subscribers and we weren't asked either. I dunno how many times a day they snoop my phone position from space. Best case Mr Musk only know there is a phone here on the sun deck not which one. I don&

I'd say Starlink's main selling point is spying not utility for cell phone users.

Interesting project. A floppy sized OS seems about right, excluding some sort of driver tree. OS preferences seem to boil down to "have someone else made this app work on the system" which makes it very much a network effect issue

> a compression strategy To me compression implies smaller size? However new line chars seems to be removed in the pic so I guess it could be expressed in fewer bytes than the original text with further compression ...

I think it is more that corps select which politician gets ahead than that they are beholden to them. 50k USD is a an awful lot of money for a lower level politician to run an election campaign with.

If that is the scenario there is no way the EU, a trade union, can compete anyway so why bother.

Not doing anything and avoiding the mania as much as possible seem to be a winning move.
