tl;dr - LWN is raising their prices 20%. I have no opinion since I'm not a subscriber, just adding for clarity since the title is ambiguous.

Windows 10 shipped with code that is from the 90's. Old does not necessarily mean bad. If it ain't broke.

There is no rogue AI. Only rogue and/or negligent people.

He makes a solid argument about liberty, ownership and the cultish behavior rampant among certain AI circles, then proposes the most unhinged examples possible to support it. I'm not sure if this is an effort to pre-empt critics (I&#x2

Use the appeal form. When I got banned, it took a few months but I did get my account back. In the meantime, I switched to OpenAI. Their latest models and codex are just as good if not better in my experience.

Bob Odenkirk's publicist would like the gullible public to think that his client is some sort of deeply thoughtful intellectual because he's trying to line up his next gig and having his name in the public zeitgeist will land him

A few months ago, I had my Anthropic Claude Max account nuked for using OpenCode. That sucked, but I just opened a new Claude Max account under a different email. Which, yes, after re-reading their terms is also forbidden. But I had been pl

Fair assessment. And worth noting that in a sane world, a broad 10% productivity improvement across industry would be a once-in-a-lifetime, headline-making story, not a disappointment.

There's an incredible piece of biotechnology that converts insects and inedible seeds and detritus into delicious, perfectly edible protein pods with very high efficiency. And at EoL, any of the pods can be used to replace the original

This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don't think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her partner be to blame for her suicide? I would argue: no.

At home, on my side projects it's made me 2x to 4x. At work, also 2x to 4x. The numbers would be even higher (4x to 8x) if I didn't spend half the time correcting slop and carefully steering the AI toward the desired solution when

No. The absence of evidence is not evidence of presence. There are solid scientific reasons to suspect we might be alone in our local volume of the universe. IMHO, these reasons now outweigh the arguments in favour of alien intelligence.

Wait until you find out that's it's not just AI, or even tech. Everywhere you look, you'll find groups, businesses and organizations being run mostly by people who are just winging it and one or two who actually know what the

Anecdotally: Many years ago, I spent several months in the hospital and trauma rehabilitation due to a spinal cord injury. Roughly half of the SCI patients were from water-related accidents (ie: diving into shallow water). The other half we

I agree with you on the importance of privacy. But if people can't muster enough outrage to leave Gmail, FB, IG, etc., then I'm afraid the answer to your questions might be "yes."

Last time I checked, hacking was still a crime in most jurisdictions - even if the target is considered a geopolitical adversary. This sort of activity is also against the Proton ToS. Once KrCERT and Proton were alerted to this activity, th

I kind of already assumed they were. I've got some pretty niche use-cases that I'd like to see the models get better at thinking their way through. I benefit from their training on my interactions. So I'll opt in. But I'

Forgive my skepticism but this doesn't pass the smell test. In order to transplant the new spinal cord, they must first remove the old one. This involves cutting through the spinal bones and discs, then cutting the existing spinal co
