Nah, Disney seems to be genuinely letting it go. Amazon and other sites are flooded with Steamboat Willie merchandise at this point. In fact I play cornhole competitively, and last year I picked up a set of Steamboat Willie themed bags: ht

Even if Anthropic completely folds, that wouldn't "collapse" Google. $40B is less than 1/3 of Google's net income (that is, the profit they made which otherwise would just be lying around) in a single year .

Psychopaths are calculated, charming, and organized, often blending seamlessly into society. Whereas sociopaths tend to be erratic, impulsive, and prone to outbursts and aggressive and reckless behavior. Psychopaths, I would say, are "

A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that if you just follow SOLID then you have good code, but plenty of teams follow it to the letter and still create complete messes. The problem is that SOLID on its own does nothing for you. It&

An easy counterargument is that - there are millions of species and an uncountable number of organisms on Earth, yet humans are the only known intelligent ones. (In fact high intelligence is the only trait humans have that no other organi

One of the problems with notability standards on Wikipedia is that, when an article which doesn't meet the notability standards slips through the cracks, it's unlikely to ever get deleted. The result of this is that there are a l

Selling inference is not fundamentally different from selling compute - you amortize the lifetime cost of owning and operating the GPUs and then turn that into a per-token price. The risk of loss would be if there is low demand (and thus yo

I kind of doubt that most judges are going to agree with a "code is speech" argument. I think it's more likely that the courts view code as a mechanism, and so this is more like requiring cars to have airbags. Though this doe

OpenSSL is (famously) an extremely terrible codebase. It's likely that over the long-term the tech industry will replace it with something else, but for now there's too much infrastructure relying on it.

Books like DraftKings and FanDuel get their lines from market makers like Circa. Market makers use a variety of information for setting initial lines (you'll have to go ask them), but one of the main ways they move lines afterwards is
