This is a shame, because now I cannot order from Amazon as orders go to building reception and nobody is going to remember the pin to take delivery.

How do you get around the idea of poisoning oneself? Keeping meat part raw feels uneasy.

Two birds with one stone for benefit of Putin. Likely son of Ayatollah wanted to get rid of his weak father and Putin wanted the US to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. So Putin asked Krasnov to get rid of Ayatollah and empty the stockpile

What is the issue here? Seems like Apple wants to own people. If you don't want employees to leave for competition, pay them well enough so they don't entertain the idea. It's always employer neglecting workers and then havin

To be fair the development of GPUs have stalled over the years. If they kept up with the progress instead of focusing on enterprise market, likely 256GB consumer GPU would be a norm today.

From my experience these open source models are nowhere near the performance offered by Fable/Opus/GPT-5.6. Whenever I tried Qwen, Kimi, Deepseek, the results were much worse and it just took much more time to get something usable

Anti-corruption regulators are paid to look away. If they start investigating corruption like e.g. Ukraine does, then the EU countries will be perceived as corrupt. The goal of these institutions is to keep things under the rug so to speak.

I used to know someone doing this. They said they know it is too good to be true, but they hate corporations and it's their little way to stick one in.

"very" close is subjective. In my opinion it is nowhere near running audio through real tape. The computation capability needed to fully simulate tape in real time is not there yet. To model all subtle interactions, phase etc you&

The biggest pet peeve is that you never know whether your request is dealt with by Opus and not Sonnet or Haiku or even something else and you still pay for Opus. You have to ask the model some difficult question and gauge which one is doin

My guess is they take the car away from the drop off point to employee pick up point and human drives them away to the "secure location".

I look for most spacious parking place with wide approach lanes, then shortest distance. Some car parks at the airports are just ridiculous. So narrow you can't exit the car.

I heard horror stories, where "secure storage area" was actually a field without any security. Not saying this is the case here, but one must be mad to give a car like that without knowing exact location it is going. It's one

I find 5.6-sol quite good for coding, but for legal work it has a bias favouring big corporations - it tends to weaken your arguments and make document legally unsafe. 5.5 was much better.

If Fable gets correct answer quicker, then you might pay less than doing back and forth with Opus, plus you lose more of your own time. I see no reason for using less able models in my workflows. There is this saying, penny wise and pound f

Do you account environmental impact of manufacturing of this device, shipping and energy used to place it in the store, time spent on customer service, people transporting it to their homes etc? How hanging it off balcony will offset that?

So it costs £400 and can shave up to £100 a year - how it was calculated? In best case scenario you'll have to hang this thing off balcony for 4 years to break even. Will it be good after 4 years? I cannot see the economics of that. I

Sounds like something security services would love people to use. Instead of using wrench to extract the password - and distressed person may lose memory, they can just locate the passkey.

I find it difficult to explain how to use password manager to non-IT person. Whatever I say, they say it is not secure. No amount of explanation will change their mind. They prefer to keep their passwords in their physical note book hidden
