This is untrue and a naive understanding of modern model training. Opus 5 does not speak like a normal, average, or common English user. For example, it says “stated plainly” or “worth stating plainly” (two very uncommon English phrases) ev

It’s not a hypothesis. It’s an observation of reality. The current administration canceled massive renewable projects and has incentivized reopening coal plants, subsidized fossil fuels, and opened government land to oil drilling.

Given the jailbreaking behavior of models in Anthropic and OpenAI, as well as Microsoft allowing Copilot access to client data, we should assume our source code on Github is leaked or leakable anyway.

Physical trespassing (as far as we know), but they’ve certainly done all of the rest millions of times.

Account “seasoning,” similar to reddit. They create an account and give it as human-like a history as possible (a few comments, enough time since registration that it doesn’t look brand new). Then they sell it to whoever will buy it. This c

This is absolutely false. You can’t provide an article showing it because it’s untrue and counter to what every official and study has said. https://magazine.publichealth.jhu.edu/2026/baltimores-histor...

Software devs have actually hard skills and don’t charge $1,000 an hour to develop a PowerPoint. Why do only management consultants defend management consultants? Why don’t employees, C-suites, taxpayers, watchdogs, or anyone else ever sing

Generalizations can be bad, yes. Everyone knows about management consultants ruining companies and governments, contributing to the opioid crisis, etc. But what else do they do? Let’s crowdsource examples of management consultants deliverin

Homicide rates have dropped similarly (or more) in less-surveilled cities like Baltimore. Crime is complex, and it’s incredibly silly to look at those two variables and call it a day.

I’ve noticed WSJ has gotten very good at evading paywall circumvention services and suspect that’s what happened here.

Almost everything we consume is downstream of RAM pricing. I don’t buy a phone every year, but corporate workforces, streaming servers, cars, factories, etc. will all cost more next year.

I think you’ve misunderstood the article. It’s about how Databricks reduced their own costs, not about how adopting Databricks will reduce anyone else’s costs.

Credit cards are an interest-free loan of 1-2 months. That’s literally free money. The rewards are also free to me in the sense that the merchant pays them. If the merchant has priced them in, then the rewards aren’t free, but using cash is

SFC costs don’t scale linearly with volume or number of seats. The cameras, LIDAR, and sensors are all fixed costs. You need them on even a single-person car. And they’re extremely costly.

What reason would someone have not to have a credit or debit card? Credit cards are literally free money, as long as you pay the balance off on time

I doubt this is correct. “It’s expensive to be poor” — a lot of people who can’t afford cars (or have bad credit) end up Ubering to/from work every day

FYI, your sleep hygiene sounds good, but doctors have started to agree that primary, idiopathic insomnia doesn’t exist. It’s either anxiety or evidence of some severe disease or physiological condition. So as long as you’re trying things, C

That’s a problem with AI music in general. I don’t see how piracy is better for that.
