Guess the moral of the story is hierarchy will always exist - it can either be visible or invisible. People who want power will seek it. Inevitably people will end up following/obeying them for one reason or another … and we have a per

Won't they just do whatever is most profitable? If continuing to pay even if you aren't using the estate is more profitable that's what they will do - they can still let employees work from home; would save on the air conditi

I don’t think it will affect people’s ability to write good programs - in fact it probably helps. That said, if a feature is really hard to figure out and it’s a constant pain point for newcomers … maybe it isn’t worth it … No other languag

Will it though? I don’t visit CNET and I still won’t. Google isn’t going to rank any of their articles higher.

Have you heard of "glitch tokens"? To my knowledge, all these are hand patched. There are probably more lurking somewhere in its data. Also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37054241 has quite a few examples of

IMHO LLMs are so popular because they sound very confident. That’s great marketing in itself. Unfortunately it’s only marketing.

I think we have a bit of miscommunication here. You see these “benchmarks” as necessary and sufficient for “real intelligence” when people are just saying they are necessary but not sufficient. It’s like asking for a drink (legal age 21) a

Intel’s foundry side struck a deal with ARM recently. So they are involved with them.

Unions are often monopolies too - monopolies on labour. Monopolies often lead to inefficiency in the market and an inefficient market is bad for everyone.

Not quite “just another corporation”, they are often monopolies on labour. Frankly, power imbalances in either direction isn’t good - because we all know it will be abused.

Sometimes a decision has to be made though - e.g. is a particular person a murderer. In most countries, the burden of proof is on the accuser and the accused doesn’t need to proven his or her innocence and is treated as innocent until prove

Maybe you should let the governments of countries in the CPTPP decide that.

They can decline the whole agreement. Thus the agreement has to be a win for them too else there is no reason to sign.

I am. It’s worse than Chrome in a way frankly in that JPEGXL is only supported in the Nightlies behind a flag. However Mozilla has not completely dropped the feature like Google.

by worrycue 3y ago
What’s outrageous is Google’s BS reasoning for dropping the format. They claim lack of interest when they (and Firefox) have been hiding JPEGXL support behind flags (and nightlies in the case of FireFox) yet WebP and AVIF is fully supported

Oh please, Google’s parent company is worth 1.64 trillion USD. They can afford a few programmers to maintain a codec. Lack of popularity hasn’t stop them from supporting webp and AVIF.

You miss his point. NT was thought to have “won” and their position seem unassailable but the unexpected happened and their reign in the server world was short lived.

Al it takes is a different better AI model that doesn’t require the type of computing capabilities Nvidia offers or for the LLM hype to die. Nvidia made their fortune riding 2 consecutive hype waves - crypto and LLMs.

Monopoly are fine if they are natural monopolies - e.g. utilities; which need to be regulated. Otherwise monopolies are suboptimal as prices won’t come down due to lack of competition.

Other non-Canadian news sources are still available right? People will just waste time on those. Frankly, if Canadians are reading news about Canada mostly from foreign news sources, this might weaken the Canadian government’s control on po
