Yeah, to be clear I don't like that argument either. But in the case of the California tax, their concern is billionaires will just leave California for another US state.

At least I understand the "innovation and capital will leave the state" argument. Brin says he opposes the law out of fear California will become the USSR. This is a democratic vote, on a one-time tax, that leaves private property

The quintessential example is donut.c. I was amazed when I first came across it. https://www.a1k0n.net/2006/09/15/obfuscated-c-donut.html

There was a paper [1] that offered as a defense against abliteration what amounts to just longer and more nuanced refusals. The results seemed promising. I don't follow this closely enough to know why the latest open models haven'

They're the 2nd biggest PC manufacturer in the world. Sell more computers than Dell, Apple, etc. Only beaten by Lenovo.

Indeed! Fond memories of that orange bulldozer... And lots of lamenting that I was a little too late for the storied AutoRune days :)

It's not always your first exposure that you later identify as a catalyst. I'm an American that took a C++ class in Europe when I was 13 (forward thinking school in retrospect). But when asked, I usually say scripting RS bots was

They can pass grudges against individuals down to their offspring. Could be looking at generational animosity if you really displease them.

It's up to the renderer what to display. OSM tags data according to global consensus, they use Gulf of Mexico for 'name'. There is an attribute for 'official_name:en-US' that returns Gulf of America. Same approach f

Cool site. I started training seriously and the first thing that came to mind when seeing these movements was... Why did it take us so long to make weight machines (19th century) if we knew the effect of resistance training for millennia AN

GH processes at the commit level for things (including actions) even though they're bundled in a push... it's relevant to the load on their infrastructure.

Only part of the article I disagree with a bit. I'm willing to bet most infrastructure PM's at CF are technical people with engineering backgrounds. I think what's more likely the culprit is the desperation to claim ground. T

There's an eerie video that went around of a ship hitting the 2011 tsunami in Japan at open sea. It demonstrates the idea pretty well. https://youtube.com/shorts/igfP5CQAkHU?is=TJqk4lxxhYkK8hQV

I assume they store your session state/token for whatever SaaS it needs to work with but not the creds.

Most probably believe this is a good thing, but don't want to give Zuckerberg credit because a) he's had a profoundly negative impact on society and b) the strategy is transparent, he's trying to commoditize his closed rivals

Yep. Reminds me of Blackstone's ratio... It's not a simple cost-benefit situation, it's wrong on principle. The challenge is to find ways to catch criminals without trampling all over individual rights. This isn't that s

Great points and nice write-up. At the risk of sounding AI pilled, I find LLM's are fairly good sparring partners if you instruct them well. At least they're more capable of giving you the best arguments against your position than

Because people who are using Fastmail care about privacy and have decided not to use Gmail (probably for that reason). Fastmail presents themselves as privacy-first. So people discuss where that might not be the case. Their homepage: Fre

I take a 3mg every night, but I've read that independent labs have studied the common OTC brands and found wildly different Melatonin content than advertised. So I really don't know how much I take.

While we're asking for navigation features, I desperately want a "chill" toggle. I drive around the NY metropolitan area a lot. No, I don't want to take the route that saves a few minutes if it involves merging onto I95

Yeah, the arrangement between OpenAI and MSFT is complex and a pretty good example of the circular deals that are becoming more common. Microsoft was an early large investor in OpenAI. They get priority access to the models, and can use the

The Microsoft study concerns the ideal vs. actual developer workweek. They conclude that developers using AI tools "heavily" are both more productive and more satisfied. And, surprise, that devs hate meetings and want to code more

I don't understand Myth 1 (Developers Spend Most of Their Time Writing Code). They quote a study in which developers report to spend 11-14% of their day coding. The rest is stuff like solution design and meetings. The insinuation is th
