I do what I can by serving webapps from my Linux server, or using command line, but I haven't had much success with a Linux RDP or VNC server that can compete with MS RDP for performance. If I could do that I'd switch fully. Does

Those 150 billion will be taxable at the same (hypothetically 30%) tax rate, reducing the expected return by 45bn * 5% chance. The expected return is still negative; all this bet does is shift tax liabilities in time, which admittedly would

Precisely, completely agree. If this method actually removed a significant percentage of scam ads, rather than just heading off scrutiny, then a) doing proper verification wouldn't cost them $2b a year like they claim it would, and b)

I'm not sure it stops there, either - I wonder if others feel the same. If every platform is doing this, then are they destroying the trust of online media (the internet?) in general? Facebook isn't exactly alone in its reputation

From reading the TIL, it doesn't appear as if Simon used LLM for a large portion of what he did; only the initial suggestion to check the archive, and the web tool to make his process reproducible. Also, if you read the script from his

Hi! How - if at all - would you amend your advice now that scraping and LLMs have become so big that any published work is likely to be taken and repurposed, for no royalties or credit? I have a lot that I'd love to share (and let&#x27

I won't ask about or speak to the overall message of your first link, I'm interested to digest it further for my own benefit. This is striking to me though: Throughout this post I’ll assume the average ChatGPT query uses 0.3

Let's be careful here. It's generally a good idea to congratulate people for changing their opinion based on evolving information, rather than lambast them. (Not a tech worker, don't have a horse in this race)

A photograph is an expression of the photographer, who chooses the subject, its framing, filters, etc. Ditto a painting. LLM output is inherently an expression of the work of other people (irrespective of what training data, weights, prompt

That's fair - though are we in an isolated bout of "every now and then" or has AI created a new normal of abuse (e.g. of robots.txt)? Hopefully we're at a local maximum and some of the scrapers perpetrating harmful behav

Without wanting to upset anyone - what makes you interested in sharing tips for team scraper? (Overgeneralising a bit) site owners are mostly cting for public benefit whereas scrapers act for their own benefit/for private interests. I

In fact it's apparently $5.2 trillion by 2030 [0] (out of $6.7T total data center spend; meaning all of "traditional IT needs" are less than a quarter of the total). That's the total if you add up all of the firms chasin

Mature sunflowers reliably point due east, needles on a compass point north. They implement different things using different mechanisms, yet are really the same.
