I'm surprised no ones talking what a betrayal this is for people who followed Sam and Greg. Microsoft is the opposite of everything they've talked about for years and here they are. Seems like the board had the right idea about th

It's not only language or some tasks - it's literally everything. Predictive Processing Theory proposes that our whole model is predicting future and only then confirming it through our input signals (eyes, ears etc). I highly rec

Honestly, it feels like OpenAI is not taking the copyright trolls* very seriously for this to be the case. I don't think US has the luxury to set this dangerous AI precedent. * You can disagree but no copyright lawsuit by mega corporat

It's trully is disturbing that some people have this constantly on their minds while (presumably) living in developed countries where 600$ meme-device is a thing and that's why they wouldn't get it.

If only this support existed outside US. For a "global" company Google surely fails to deliver outside the borders of it's headquarters.

Mojo team is avoiding this topic like a plague. I recently listened to whole Lex Fridman episode with Mojo's founder Chris Lattner [1] and I don't think they said a word about licensing. I still don't get it tbh. I don't

Another great alternative is JSONPath[1] which unfortunately not as widely supported and known despite being brilliant! It's inspired by XPath so it's very familiar instead of a complete new DSL. The killer feature imo is the recu

That has the be the most disappointing rocket launch video ever. Could they really not put a camera on it or show the launch itself for longer than 1.5 seconds? It almost feels like they're hiding something.

Honestly asyncio is good and you shouldn't bother with twisted, tornato or gevent ever unless you inherit an existing code base. I like trio features but code quickly turns super verbose ang ugly with the abdundance of with statements

You can do the opposite since the inception of robots.txt: User-agent: * Disallow: / and then whitelist google bot and whatnot. Most of the web is already configured this way. Just check robots.txt of any major website, e.g. https:&#x

Is this open web in the room with us? Cheekiness aside, the myth of beautiful open web always seems to be exagerated. Most content on the web is already generated, ugly and spammy. Most of the traffic is already owned by mega corporations.

We run an educational blog for our saas product and we get some legit emails from readers but also a lot of the spam and some of it is scary good. They feed in so much context that it does appear to be a real person and it ends up wasting a

> No need to "scrap" when you have a nice, performant JSON REST API provided for you. There are no performant json rest APIs provided these days though. The days of public APIs are long gone.

Hard disagree with you. New methods are objectively better. One obvious illustration is that online books/websites are better than paper books at information delivery and teaching people in general. The "society is degrading"

Having your cake and eating it too is a natural goal of every business and honestly it was just a matter of time till web pages figured out they can have the benefits of public data and avoid the costs. Web scraping and botting is basically

That's a very good point. I guess the real new problem here is learning to identify and manage different types of discussions and information exchange formats which can be challenging but totally solvable issue imo once people start wo

It's really perplexing how people in such privilidged positions would put their name on this. Either their not as smart as they appear or somehow manipulated/corrupted.

This has been happening already. The market is trying really hard to price out web scraping through scraper detection technologies and it's kinda working - scraping is becoming non-existent in user-space apps. It's also extremely

People are right to be worried. Take a look at Threads.net and Mastodon.social and tell me these two projects have anything in common. Everything is open on Mastodon.social (I can even use the search box) and everything is purposefully cl
