All the Big AI APIs handle a million tokens of context. That's enough for 750,000 words or, several entire novels. Context isn't an issue. It's style . The argument the author is making is that if you use an LLM to write for

Define, "advancing humanity." Are we talking about turning everyone into philosophers and somehow ascending to a higher plane of existence? Yeah, AI isn't going to help with that (probably). Or are we talking about useful, po

That's what this boils down to: What are our rights? Everyone has a right to scrape the Internet. That includes corporations who scrape the Internet to train AI models. If we take away that right, how would the Internet even work? It w

Are you kidding me? It costs a fraction of the competition and you can use just about any pin for anything you want! It makes designing boards for the RP series so simple and easy! Contrast that with STM32 where you have to constantly refer

We already have it. Good luck convincing the current DOJ to do anything useful at all though! It is currently intentionally stacked with incompetent cronies who have been told that their job is to attack the President's enemies and ign

To be fair, the powers that be do see children and their families as "actual criminals." They literally charged them with a crime! This is their idea of what counts as a real criminal. Instead of, say, someone who rapes childr

Big AI bro wants to regulate AI industry so that only Big AI can exist in that space. Seeks to surreptitiously ban open weights models and similar competition from Western markets via complicated regulations and fines that only rich busines

It's because they view the LLM's output as "their thoughts." They told the LLM (via the prompt) what to do—often with loads of run-on sentences and long trains-of-thought. From their perspective, the LLM is just acting

I've come to trust their grammar corrections implicitly. So much that I've setup a "Fix Grammar" command with Obsidian Copilot that I'll just let it run on a whole chapter (YOLO mode): Proofread the following

If you can't tell if a text was modified by AI, then all accusations that a text was written by AI must be ignored. Not without strong evidence. Yet here we are: The mere accusation of a work being touched in any way by AI is all i

The "problem" is that people—the ones that actually care whether or not something was written by AI—don't just want to spot text that was generated by AI (like in your examples). They also want to spot text that was re-wri

If you don't manage the history properly in your SPA, pressing the back button could take the user out of the app entirely. If you don't let web developers manage history/state like this, we'd be going back to the ineffi

Windows uses Group Policy (which isn't particularly secure for many reasons) while Linux uses configuration files (e.g. udev, AppArmor, stuff in /etc like fstab) in conjunction with file permissions. However, you can go way fart

Firefox has /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/policies.json which lets the sysadmin lock down what users can do with the browser. Example: If you wanted to block all extensions except for a whitelist, you could control

On a Linux desktop you can lock down waaaaay TF more stuff than Group Policy allows. The only difference is you need a sysadmin that knows what they're doing . You can't just point and click a button that prevents users from

The time for regulatory action against Microsoft was thirty years ago and the need for it has only grown since then. The FTC wasn't doing their job between 1980-2020 because of their ridiculous standard of, "if it doesn't r

No. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish was replaced by the AAA strategy: Acquire, Assimilate, Abandon. They were trying to be more Google-like with that "Abandon" step I think. They've since moved on to the SSS strategy: Ship, S

China has a minimum purchase price of corn that's set by the government in order to maintain food stocks. It's also part of a larger jobs program (that I don't know much about). China also imports 80% of its soybeans which m

This assumes that these companies aren't going to use smaller providers or hosting models themselves. THAT is the great big assumption going into all the Big AI funding. I think it's a very, very bad assumption. After trying GLM

If this ends up being true, desktop Linux adoption might make inroads. Windows apps run like crap on ARM and no one is bothering to make ARM builds of their software.
