You're confusing copyright with patents, and you cannot patent a game design. Well, you couldn't. I'm not sure about these days. In any case, this isn't a patent claim. It's a copyright claim, and copyright protects

I don't think that's true. There's probably a valid critique that they're doing their job badly.

Yeah, something immediately felt wrong about the entire framing of the article. I work on several projects on the side, and they all have agents files that give the context about what the project is, what the elements of it are, and what th

Org mode is a coherent whole, and has capabilities far beyond what Markdown can accomplish (Markdown is inherently HTML-based, org-mode is not). Markdown's history is littered with folks trying to augment it in just the right way to br

I don't play the credit card points game. I have an Amazon Visa, and I get 5% back, which has been thousands of dollars over the life of the card. When I say that you're coming out way ahead, I'm referring to two things. One

Thank you! Got my wires crossed: Strix Halo at 256G/s, M1 at 450G/s. Apologies, and thanks for the correction!

I completely get where you're coming from, but credit cards are a tool, and you can came out way ahead using them properly. For starters, they are key to having a good credit rating, which opens a lot of doors - maintain 3 open card

If I recall correctly, Strix Halo gets about 450G/s. The M series processors get between 400 and 800G/s, and an actual NVIDIA card is like 5.5T/s. 113G/s is pretty slow for inference.

The blog post isn't directed at 10-year-olds. In fact, you're pulling a phrase from a paragraph that's describing exactly how you should not speak when talking to a 10-year-old. > The simplest constraint for anyone trying

Oh, interesting. > No, to repeat what I said, I think "consistency" to a programmer is like "fairness" to a child I tend to pride myself on my ability to read and comprehend things, and I feel like I never saw you say

Oh, interesting. So you're advocating for projects that have wildly different styles encoding from file to file? I guess I've never really worked on a project like that. I can imagine it would feel very messy and would make manual

Picked up the AI vibes as well. Don't mind. Content was there.

Here we go: as soon as you ask for any kind of definition or rigor around AI development, people will work hard to shut you up. You're asking an extremely reasonable question, IMHO, especially given these are projects with limited reso

I think the particular choice of coding standards is low value, but I think the consistency they bring has a lot of value, at least potentially. As a father of two boys myself, I know exactly where you're coming from. Like some adults,

Yeah, the perceived friction in a voice message seems to be immense. I sent one voice massage in the past year because I wanted to get a big idea over to someone as I was walking into a meeting, so I recorded a 20-second message and sent it

Huh. The reply time keeps updating between 0.8s and 1.2s, but is always "98% faster than manual", which is basically saying "We reply twice as fast", but in a really weird way. I'd fully expect a "2x faster&quo

Whether or not you can pipe information into a TUI is a function of the implementation of it. I've written command line apps that are dual function. When you invoke them with no arguments, they launch the TUI, but when you pass an argu

Standard flow with a vision model in OMP is to write the front end code, fire up the server, fire up a headless browser and then take screenshots and examine and iterate. Works great. When I'm using DeepSeek V4 Flash, it always reminds

> publishers and probably authors no longer exist Who is going to claim a copyright violation?

by rpdillon 2mo ago
Wait: the entire premise of copyright is to prevent someone from publishing a book, and a competitor buys a copy, clones it, and sells copies way cheaper because they don't have to pay the author. Now, in 2026, we're acting like c

> all existing copies of the book This is not happening. They want the text, nothing more. Depriving others isn't the goal, based on all empirical evidence about their behavior. It's about one each of every ISBN.

The ruling in the Anthropic case was that their scanning of the books was only fair use because the original physical copy was destroyed. The copyright lobby wanted scarcity so they could monetize things, and now folks are worried about kno
