Because they don't want you to realize that you have the power to reject garbage then have the government punish them for creating such waste.

Asking it to do something isn't exactly complicated. At the very least, it's way easier than actually coding so why would you expect people to struggle with writing? There's no skill required in using LLMs, that's kinda

ah yes the common rebuttal of "but this doesn't exists, so I want the boot to keep stomping on my face. Please don't do anything different! The boot is kinda nice actually now that I sustained enough nerve damage." Grant

Anthropic, the company that actually has much worse revenues and likely mislead the public? [1] That Anthropic? The same Anthropic that has taken billions of gulf state money where the countries are on the verge of divesting itself from the

Because the model of private capital using open source to make profits is a failure state that we need to get away from. There's no reason why the government can't sponsor open source projects, something tells me the vast majority

It's kinda hilarious that this is the result of the leadership at MSFT. Great example of why the current crop of corporate leadership needs to be taxed into oblivion and have their fiefdoms divided for the masses. Their reign needs to

I understand the frustration but you realize how brazen the US is about bribes right? It's not a bribe unless you say "I'm giving you this money as a bribe." That's the legal standard SCOTUS has declared.

It's the same strategy they used in 2024 to a great effect: if you are against the crypto industry we will attack you. Not support the other candidate, but just attack you. The intention is to not waste money on supporting candidates,

ah good to know. Outside of having a very basic dac for my cans on my desktop, I wouldn't think of any serious equipment failures could happen. Probably wrong to assume that these things are engineered to be safe/redundant. This i

If you are interested in standalone digital audio players (DAPs), I just recently bought this: https://www.fiio.com/echomini For ~$60 you get a device that can play every type of audio file and has better sound quality than

Ah yes, some point (possibly 100s of years into the future) we have to be concerned with a sci-fi scenario not borne in reality so we can't possibly ban cellphones now. Just ignore all the negative externalities of these mass misery ma

The dude built a mass plagiarism machine and wants to now profit off of his mass plagiarism machine, of course he's going to have antidemocratic ideas regarding people + technology.

Tale as old as time in SV, why we keep trusting venture capital to be the community's stewards I have no idea. We need public investment in open source, in the form of grants, not more private partnerships that somehow always seem to h

"Clean room" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Having the entire corpus of knowledge for humanity and how LLMs work, how can you honestly argue in court that this is purely clean room implementation? This is right up there with Met

What has Spotify done towards innovation for the end users? They definitely innovated by rat fucking musicians to earn more money, but that seems like a trait that hurts society and not uplifts it.

Seems like a free market issue, any profit resulting from development is a free market issue. Your profit margins mean worse quality housing for people, and we can see what actual public housing programs look like with Singapore and Vienna

I think the majority of the electorate very much blame the people you're talking about. Who do you think progressives and MAGA refer to when talking about neoliberals? They're talking about the corporate class; those that care mor

This appears to only work for songs, this action does not work for podcasts or playlists. Wow! What bad engineering culture, likely only caring about what's in the ticket and not the feature overall. I guess this is what happens to a p

Wow, this only works for songs (and it's left) but not podcast episodes (my main use case). I had no idea you could do this! If I have to blame someone, I blame snapchat for making "unknown UX controls as something for users to di

I have been looking up DAP devices (digital audio players), anything you'd recommend that you know? Use to rock a Zune until the desktop software was unable to connect to it, loved that device. Really tempted to buy this device: https

I click three dots, add to queue is at the bottom of the list, need to scroll, then click add to queue. Why do I have to do so many actions when adding an item (say a podcast) to my current playlist? Why can't there be a single button

I wish! Just tried this on the iPhone app (sure it's all the same flavor of electron) but it doesn't work.

Yeah, the loophole is always "national security" and SCOTUS doesn't enforce the law.

You do realize the vast majority of jobs are not in industrial hubs but urban cities right? Urban cities tend to have more than one employer too. Before I moved across the country, there were maybe a dozen or so companies that were hiring d

Thank you for being a human that defends their craft against the wanton destruction wrought by VC + SV. They are destroying the planet to solve problems that don't exist.

You need to do some actual canvassing and get out of your SV bubble, M4A polls at a consistent 60% support where both independents and democrats are at nearly 80% support. What you're advocating is more corporate welfare that I don&#x2

Median salary in the US is barely $45k a year: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/central.html So what you're describing is even worse.
