The law isn't forcing people to do this, economics are. Nothing about the law forces people to use physical books, just that they actually pay for the books instead of stealing them. The company thinks they can get away with this cheap

In 2024 Tesla sales accounted for 49% of EV sales in the US. Tesla sales have been dropping quarter to quarter (ie, Q1 2025 was less than Q1 2024) as well as year over year. I see no reason why that trend would change in Tesla's favor.

I've been working in AI since 2014, and I believe "human in the loop" will be the way things have to work for awhile yet.

If it was synthetic then all this talk about it dropping the production database was purely clickbait, since there was no "production".

Honestly, the person who decided to give an LLM Agent full and unrestricted access to their production database is the person who deserves all the blame. What an absolutely silly decision. I don't even give myself unrestricted access

It's always been the case that if you refuse to pay a bill the other party can refuse to do service with you.

No, as some portion of the $2.5b goes to Windsurf investors. Basically, Google bought the top talent from the company. This cash was used (according to articles I read this morning) in part to pay directly out to shareholders, and in exchan

There are sharing programs between companies, yes, but that isn't what we're talking about here.

I don't think so. The Fourth Field Army doesn't exist anymore (and hasn't since 1955). My guess is the company named their LLM initiative after this for historic reasons, and that these are more like internal project code nam

When I was at Malwarebytes we had concerns that IOBit was stealing our database and passing it off on their own. While we had a lot of obvious proof, we felt it wasn't enough for the average person to understand. To get real proof we c

As far as I can tell xAI doesn't publish because they don't have anything to publish. It seems to me like they aren't doing anything novel or state of the art, they're just consuming other people's research and impl

Sort by oldest. They had two papers in 2017 and three in 2018. It was only in 2019 that they started opening up more, but you can't change decades of culture quickly. The AI researchers I know (and I know a lot, having been VPE at mult

I don't think there's much mystery here. Apple has blocked their researchers from publishing and has a very siloed approach. Researchers don't like this, so they work for companies that allow them to publish and engage in the

This was actually the approach that Vicarious AI took while I was there, and even $250m in VC funding wasn't enough to prove it out, although that may have been a problem of having too much money and not enough focus. I think the probl

Yeah, I found this article to be fascinating and there's a lot of important stuff in it. It really does feel like more people stopped at the title and missed the meat of it. I know this is a very long article compared to a lot of thing

How are you getting Qwen3:30B-A3B running with 8GB? On my system it takes 20GB of VRAM to launch it.

Honestly once Jobs died most of what Ive did was ruin existing products, such as the butterfly keyboard and the removal of all of the useful ports from their laptops.

I got hired at Kenna Security a month before they were acquired by Cisco and it was such a miserable experience that I won't work for any company the Kenna leadership are involved with, nor would I ever consider working at Cisco.

Yup, I have an umbrella policy to cover a variety of legal situations. It costs me $900 a year for a $3m (per incident) policy.

I think calling this "scraping" is hiding an important point. Scraping tends to mean crawling the web and pulling down stuff people put up. In the US (and yes, I know that this is a UK article) it is legal to scrape, with the idea

Using MCP you can send "notifications" to the server, and the server can send back notifications including the availability of new tools. So this isn't the same as saying "this user agent gets X, this gets Y". It&#x

I'm not saying MCP is perfect, but it's better than OpenAPI for LLMs for a few reasons. * MCP tools can be described simply and without a lot of text. OpenAPI specs are often huge. This is important because the more context you pr

To be president you have to be a resident for the previous 14 years, so he wouldn't be eligible unless he moved here today and waited 14 years. He'd be 83 at that point.

Once you have the models on local storage you can move pretty quickly from there to VRAM, I've never found that to be the biggest bottleneck. The problem is provisioning itself, especially if you have to actually move models locally. S

Github does give free copilot access to open source developers it considers important enough (which is a pretty low bar). While not the same as actually paying, it's the only example I can think of where the company that used people&#x
