Really hate that the USG overreaction on Fable has given us a neutered version of AIs for DEFENSIVE capabilities even when we just want an explanation of what we’re being subjected to with this malware. Give defenders a better shot…

For the sake of all our sanity I hope this is a good product that can solve real problems without being a ten minute barrier to getting to a human. AI support has been terrible so far in my experience and tends to over optimize for a happy

Who is going to compensate us for the years taken off our lives when we received the alerts?

I would much prefer Mr. Musk found a nice hobby like yachts or race horses instead of buying communication platforms, bulldozing regulations, and bribing officials with PAC money. That said, he needs the wealth to keep the whole machine fro

These deep dives are fun, but it’s a lot more fun to have a conversation with someone about this sort of deep dive, get to know their taste and trust their next rec is probably going to be good. I miss the community around music sites more

How long will that $4.40 rate persist? Until we know more about the real unit economics it will be damn near impossible to rely on steady inference costs or make them predictable at the enterprise level. Gonna be a wild ride for awhile.

“Stop being so intransigent” / “I will NEVER buy a car that doesn’t support CarPlay” is pretty funny. That said, I agree with the author. Autos are not software companies and they are only locking us in for their own benefit. Anybody n

European companies aren’t much different so just be sure to check where you stand first before you’re SURE you’ve actually escaped.

BIT of a broad brush there but we can take the critique. While we vote for our leaders we don’t exactly get a say or have awareness of what sort of covert bullshit some over eager Yale graduate is doing as a top secret operation.

Old style forums were better because fewer people were on them, there was no monetary incentive to contribute (you just cared) and the community wasn’t toxic. Reddit-style sites can also be this - you just need to build the right community.

Apparently they hired some payday loans marketing folks recently? As much as I like(d) Anthropic and their approach to being a lab / PBC, if you hire that many people that fast for that much money, it’s inevitable that you end up with

There are probably a number of more Roman cultural hallmarks around than what are mentioned in the article but they don’t have something that sounds like Rome in the name. Some tenuous stuff here that is quite random, but hey I clicked.

No - this was a separate power unrelated to the supply chain risk which is still in effect.

Anecdata suggests NSA just got on board and kept going tbh. Not sure they’ve felt the same impacts / churn as other agencies, and not sure they’ve ever really been that beholden to the DNI.

Agreed. Subcontracting this was a mistake.

True. It absolutely will take your money :)

I have kids, and I don't think we need age verification. I'm not blaming the websites for content my kids access, and I have to work to make sure I'm tracking what my kids are doing. Not saying we should stop trying to verify

While I agree that this is annoying, you're trying to interact with the federal government which actually does require IDENTITY verification and not age verification in order to perform its duties. That id.me account allows you to take

Sorry but this “people aren’t the same because headphones” (or podcasts or <insert here>) is just too convenient a narrative especially when your pull quotes are from random college newspapers and small scale studies. Having some musi

No, not generally. That said, there can be some "Oh yeah - well if you're insinuating that white people are displacing black people then YOU are the racist" which is just... not the same thing. One view of the world may incor

Any company building this kind of tech should have a separate shell headquarters on some low regulation island country. Any government work can be done via MOU with a US subsidiary staffed by Americans. This kind of capricious, unexplained

This article started about academics but mostly was about how the author likes to look at their own bookshelf and hasn’t actually read the books there, while ripping into people that read on other modalities.

Some yes, some no. Just depends on how you want to do it. Calibre is great for managing this.
