I don't think this is true at all. I use opus 5 to build a small project. It bothers me that people simply handwave away concerns so easily. The context size is still not nearly as big as it needs to be to store all the code an enterpr

I don't think it is a fair comparison. The cost of raising a child can still be too high even in a fairly low gini country. In fact I'd say gini has nothing to do with birth rate. Birth rate declines when parents have confidence t

I tried to find some information about how Japan manages to get away from criticisms around forced labor in prison. It seems like Japan does have very poorly paid labor, as little as usd 0.05 an hour, but the incarceration rate is low. Once

If I could wave a magic wand, I would implement this like some kind of token replenishment or quota system like every IP address gets to access old dot like a very low number and if you log in with the same IP address you get more quota or

Is this really where our law enforcement should be spending its resources? I would say rescuing kittens from trees is a higher priority than this nonsense. Also worth noting wherever we get a chance — the Computer Fruad And Abuse Act itsel

I'm trying to motivate one or hopefully both of these ideas - if it is worth backup up or exporting, it is worth doing it early and often - but more importantly if we backing up and exporting, we should be continuously thinking are we

Ok so it worked correctly today, for you. How do we know it will continue to do so five years down the road when they are suffocating for cash? The more stuff we have there, the harder it becomes to verify their takeout will have everything

You guys are talking about copyright but I think a bigger takeaway is there is a process breakdown at Microsoft. Nobody is reading or reviewing these documentation so what hope is there that anybody is reading or reviewing their new code? I

I like to imagine the reference in the movie margin call is that of a merry go round or a game of Musical chair. Like we are all on a ride, none of us are the operator, and all we can do is guess when the music will stop (and the ride ends)
