Yep, in the US you can have the debt sent to collections. My spouse got fucked by Shutterstock and we have to have a calendar reminder to cancel this when the year is up, since cancelation prior will result in us still paying out the year,

I hear you. But, I must also admit that reading "M$" in public discourse sure makes me nostalgic for better days on the internet.

I for one think it's a fascinating experiment to see how well it goes. Though if it actually works and leads to bun getting better over the coming months, I suspect the arguments against it will just take on a different flavor.

Josef clearly cares about being as open as possible, but has bumped up against the fact that companies like Bambu can just take their designs and extend them with things they don't share, and sell a product with more features and a l

Ugh, I really find this sort of thing frustrating. I like people developing, and testing, and ideating, and exploring in public! This is one of my problems with academia: people only sharing results when they're positive and complete.

This seems super cool if as described, but I'm sure you can understand the skepticism. Do you anticipate having any kind of public accessible chat interface for testing in the near future? Also, what, if any, benefits are there for sma

As someone that makes regular use of the em-dash, comments like this are rather maddening. I still refuse to self-censor to avoid having my actual writing get flagged by someone as LLM written.

The problem is largely one of community. The folks talking about AI are still primarily on X and haven't moved over.

Yeah, I'd pretty pissed at my doctor for finding cancerous cells that probably wouldn't have been a problem for quite some time, either. Ignorance is bliss, security through obscurity, whatever.

There is still a remarkable amount of friction here in doing so. There should be a one click button for "don't show me notifications like this", which incentivizes apps to have appropriate granular notification settings. And

Is it a serious problem that you can run whatever software you want on your computer? Should we make it so that no one can do that without permission to protect them? I recommend Cory Doctorow's talk on why this is a serious problem fo

If Google actually takes away the ability to run unsigned code, my next phone will be an iPhone. And I rarely even run unsigned code. Honestly, it might finally result in me fully exiting the Google ecosystem.

A well constructed BRD is a very large chunk of the context needed for more successful use of an LLM. You're welcome to disagree, but I've found increasingly that the work artifacts from PMs are becoming even more essential to the
