I don't believe anthropic has shareholders either. It is not a public company

I think 20/yr is low enough and much cheaper than 1p anyway, so it seems fine to me. I have already cancelled my yearly 1p password subscription and will use the next couple of months to get familiar with bitwarden before the full swit

I don't really want to deal with hosting, TBH. I was pretty happy to pay to 1password, but I don't want to be exploited... So I am fine to pay to bitwarden.

The 33% increase (47.88/35.88) for the "features" I don't need is too much. I will be switching to Bitwarden. I think if they increased the prices by 5% or something like that, I'd said fine, that >30% is simply

I wonder how much of this crap will also leak into AI training data...

For many applications boring is good. If you are writing a novel, you don't want boring, but if you're working piece of code, I don't think you want "exciting".

I guess it will allow to access information unless it is about abortion or it is negative about DJT. It is really a joke to pretend that current US cares about freedom of internet access, given all the attacks on free press it things like v

The main discussion here about offering this for kids. So, no! "if it's harming your mental health, stop using it" is not appropriate.

It is a great illustration of how transition to the authoritarianism happens (I've seen it happen in Russia in 2000s). At first you don't even need censorship, you just need to scare owners of channels/newspapers enough, so t

It is also interesting that US seems to be getting the surveillance state without any of the benefits such as low crime rate. In my view it is a valid choice for the country of having more crime Vs more surveillance, but in the US such a ch

I do like google models (and I pay for them), but the lack of competitive agent is a major flaw in Google's offering. It is simply not good enough in comparison to claude code. I wish they put some effort there (as I don't want to

rename() is certainly the easiest to use for any sort of file-system based synchronization.

Based on these news it seems that Google is losing this game. I like Gemini and their CLI has been getting better, but not enough to catch up. I don't know if it is lack of dedicated models that is problem (my understanding Google&#x27

I was actually surprised to see this: "As we make this change, we will continue to work as a blended team of EU residents and EU citizens, with all personnel working from EU locations, before gradually completing our transition to EU c

The problem is the 'most promising option' is affected by hype and loud voices. Many of the string theory crowds made predictions that did not pan out at all and still did not acknowledge their mistakes. I think that's the pr

People are guaranteed to be opinionated about weather apps. I personally use Meteogram (on android). There you see graphs of every weather related quantity you want on a single widget. That in combination with ventusky gives me everything I

I have very little sympathy towards "Open"AI, but in the same time, I think there will be always people in bad mental state who will unfortunately commit suicide after some interaction. I don't think there is a way to avoid t

I have an Android phone and it's constantly set to 'Do not disturb'. I only have a couple of people that are exempt (you can do that in the settings). Because of this I am not too fussed about even occasional extra notificat

I think it has to do with the ratio of \Sigma_xx, \Sigma_yy. I don't have time to verify that, but it should be easy to check analytically.

The least squares and pca minimize different loss functions. One is sum of squares of vertical(y) distances, another is is sum of closest distances to the line. That introduces the differences.

So that makes it clearer how all these AI data centers will be payed for. They will be payed for by all of us paying more for the PCs, laptops and phones, while all the AI people arrange sweet deals guaranteeing low prices.

The natural change from this are the journals with no cost of publication. There is no way that the added value of the journal is thousands of dollars, especially given that the referees work for free. In astrophysics we already have a jour

It is easy. The agents at the border will not be doing anything. They will just look at the screen and see if there is warning/red flag next to it provided by some automatic system. Obviously this system will be wrong often but who car
