I don't think you even need to outlaw them. Just add aggressively progressive taxes on externalities, like Norway does (not for noise, but CO2 and NoX emissions as well as curbe weight; adding noise as well shouldn't might be an i

The (still limited but better) choice exists now in large part because of many years of activism[1][2][3][4] similar to that in the linked article as a consequence of Microsoft actively abusing their market position to make it hard to avo

I love reading fiction despite my aphantasia (and writing it), but learning I had it made it make a lot more sense why I find sensory descriptions relatively uninteresting unless the prose itself is beautiful. I'll often skip descrip

I still find it a lazy story-telling tool, even in writing. It feels like an admission you can't find ways to weave the disclosure into the "present day" of the story in a natural way. Though, the notion that others can imagi

GP kinda explains why: "You have to lead it by the nose". If you're happy to "lead it by the nose" you can do well with a lot of very low end models. If you want to kick off a "/goal run until [complex ver

"Just digging new holes" also costs money, and hence the deterrence is still having the intended effect.

Anthropic's own documentation site also returns markdown (of sorts) if you append ".md", and Claude Code knows it. E.g.: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview.md

Your analogy is flawed, because there is no benefit to hitting your head against the wall, but your domestic businesses benefit from reduced competition. And that also answers your second objection - if governments never gave preference to

You're not going to get free trade if it's unilateral, because you've then created an incentive for the other side to protect their own industries knowing you're not going to retaliate, while reaping the benefits of acce

Yes, but my point is that it's an awfully shitty fallback if you need to wait 30 seconds for something to time out first. It's one thing not to e.g. spend the extra time to ensure everything is cached and mutations are queued up.
