People do want the advantages of decentralization, but they don't want to pay the price for it. Even worse, centralized systems are great for most of the time, the pain generally happens only in a short span, but then very intensely (i

Obviously, there's different options and variables and bla bla bla, but considering how consolidated and highly industrialized and standardized meat production is, this data is very likely close enough to true for the wast majority of

Well, I've got a small server rack and roof top solar, therefore data centers don't actually use water. In other words, bringing up some anecdotal, hyper specific (how many meat eaters just "have a few cows"?) informatio

There doesn't have to be storage, NSA could always just force them to add it in later without telling you. Like every single USA company.

They got loans to buy inference hardware on the promise of potential AGI, or at least something approaching ASI, all leading to stupid amounts of profit for those investors. We therefore cannot just look at inference costs directly, trainin

The constant improvements of SOTA are the main thing keeping the investment machine running. We can't really remove training costs from inference costs, because a bunch of the funding and loans for the inference hardware only exists be

Imagine eastern models were only trained on chinese official news. Would you call that an unbiased, uncensored LLM? Would it be practically different from just directly censoring the LLM? In the west, especially in the USA, rich capitalists

Of course not, but that's never how Americans act. The commenter didn't say "I don't like that the only two serious competitors are from the USA and China", they ONLY called out China. It's a small difference,

Yes, but in the long run, the market expects growth and innovation, not just doing the same thing with fewer workers. Especially when every other company can just buy the exact same advantage for the same price.

So there's only one single culture in all english speaking countries? A unified language does not in any way imply a boring or "assimilated" culture. Dutch people can still ask their closest friend to Venmo them 2 bucks for t

Last time I tried zellij, a bunch of the default keybinds conflicted with default commands, or maybe vim commands, I can't remember. But the "solution" back then was constantly jumping in and out of "locked" mode, w

How does not squash merging deal with the fact that branches disappear when merging? What I mean is that the information "this commit happened in the context of this PR or this overarching goal" goes missing. When you squash, you

Do you mean the nuclear power that the free market companies very explicitly said wasn't worth doing? That one? Why are we pleading the government to use a horrendously expensive technology that even the free market hates?

Well, because that's never the correct choice. There's a big big filter on people actually posting there. Any easy problems with obvious solutions never make it to there. Think about it, how fucked does your relationship have to b

Considering that "the community" is now filled with vibe coding slop pull requesters, and non-coders bitching in issues, the filter that not-github provides becomes better and better. Of course, that mostly goes for projects big e

If anything, the people clinging to this snake oil security theater are the ones running on vibes alone.

They also lack any and all useful features. Even just the ability to tap for pause is critical to my daily life. I just wonder if wired fans just never skip forward a song, or adjust the volume. Or even use active noise canceling.

Have batteries actually ever FAILED in wireless headphones? Sure, they degrade and charge becomes lower, but I've never had them outright fail. A headphone that lasts my 2-3 hours of commute/daily use is completely useable, even i

Every order of magnitude of difference constitutes a categorical difference. The ability to create spam instantly, fitted perfectly to any situation, and doing that 24/7, everywhere, is very different from before. Before, spam was anno

But the algorithm stuff is bad for everyone, and makes a lot of money, so it's obviously never ever going to be part of any regulation.

An internet where every wikipedia article has like a picture of boobs as fine print would be very funny.

No, it's more like Netflix not allowing you to watch on non-Netflix branded devices or browsers. Or banning you for connecting the wrong TV to a valid device. Or Microsoft banning you from O365 for not using their browser, or the corre

But none of these are unlimited, that was never the expectation. It's a flat rate for a flat (but hidden) amount of usage. What's disgusting is that they want the good parts of subs (low usage subs), but then just ban the bad part

A flat rate is always a mixture of low usage people subsidizing high usage people. It's disgusting that these companies want to have the advantages of subs, but then straight up ban any high usage people. Basically, there is no flatrat

Funny, because you CAN switch Claude Code to other providers and models easily. Anthropic is just a deeply "mis-dev-anthropic" company.

I think there's a very important distinction to be made here. Having kids and taking care of kids you already have are too very different things. If you're calling not having kids selfish, that's just completely weird. You ar

No? The most optimistic predictions involved AGI around the corner, 6 months until no more developers for years now.

For reference, I use LLMs daily for coding. I do think they are useful. I am speaking about corporations and sales tactics, because this VERY experiment was done by exactly such a corporation. How about you think about how "this whole

Which is why we ought to always bring up their BS every time people try to pretend it didn't happen. The promises made are ABSOLUTELY relevant to how promising or not these experiments are.
