Not only are they enabled by default, you can't easily turn them off. I turn the features off, and every time the firmware updates, they miraculously somehow turn back on. I finally gave up and disconnected the TVs from the internet an

Well, yeah. Corporations aren't just nefarious evil entities, dumping carbon into the atmosphere for no reason. They're doing it to sell goods. The problem is that a lot of the environmental costs for the manufacture and transport

Governments and industry are responsible. Personal consumption/waste is not the primary driver of climate change, no matter how much corporations tell us that using paper straws is the solution. It's tough to expect average peop

Not yet, sorry. We're still gauging interest on Windows to figure out when to prioritize. We're definitely planning to ship it, just not sure when.

You over-estimate the amount of sway investors have on Stripe. If VCs had the influence you're describing, Stripe would have gone public many years ago.

I worked on developer experience at Stripe for a few years. What really happened is that Stripe's products used to be simple. If you're only accepting credit cards and only serving the US market, the API surface is extremely simpl

It's an obvious partnership because Void Cloud was built on Cloudflare anyway, so having Cloudflare buying them directly just means that both companies don't need to carve out their own margin. Cloudflare is also happy to fund the

It is by choice, though? VoidZero was well-capitalized and could easily have continued to raise money for the foreseeable.

Can you explain how that would happen? This tax is limited to second homes only.

It's really insulting to the Stainless team to dismiss this acquisition as some sort of chess move against OpenAI. Give me a break.

I don't think it's fair to consider writing an analysis (even a favorable one) about a topic as _shilling_ for it. It's not like he was pushing shitcoins or minting NFTs. I have always been (and remain!) bearish on crypto but

In my defense, I had entirely forgotten GME is/was a meme stock. It's been many years since I spent brain cycles thinking about WSB.

We tried Chromebooks for our kids, and the instant I could buy Neos I did. It might just be that we're fully bought into the Apple ecosystem, but I had a hell of a time trying to get stuff like parental controls figured out on ChromeOS

I agree, but he had to know he'd be asked the question, right? And he had to know that staring blankly and mumbling about the offer being on the website wouldn't suffice as an explanation. It's just mind-boggling behavior fro

I have absolutely no clue how you could watch the interview and come away with this conclusion. The purpose of an interview is to ask Socratic questions to allow the guest to talk about something of which they have intimate knowledge. The C

That's not really true. We've used these for years to control our Hue lights, and they're fantastic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MMWH2YB

The prevailing theory is that Anthropic doesn't have sufficient compute capacity to support Mythos at scale, which is the real reason it hasn't released.

This is absolutely true, but it's also difficult to square the legal restrictions around cannabis while alcohol is freely available (and significantly more dangerous and habit-forming), and nicotine use is on the rise again thanks to v

I used to work in a suburban supermarket during high school and college, first as a cashier and then as a frontend supervisor and payroll clerk. We had a security booth where you could watch security cameras, and it was literally never mann

I would bet large sums of money that Apple is waiting to make a hardware play. When there's a sufficiently capable and intelligence-dense LLM, they will bake it into custom silicon and ship "the first MacBook with on-device AI, po

The problem is that there isn't really an alternative. The discussion is still happening there and nowhere else. (Trust me, I've looked.)

I don't disagree with your general premise that eventually it'll just be rewritten, but I have to push back on the idea that Anthropic will be acquired. Their most recent valuation was $380B, and even if they wanted to be acquire

Because LLMs are designed as emulators of actual human reasoning, it wouldn't surprise me if we discover that the things that make software easy for humans to reason about also make it easier for LLMs to reason about.

You're comparing apples to oranges there. Qwen 3.5 is a much larger model at 397B parameters vs. Gemma's 31B. Gemma will be better at answering simple questions and doing basic automation, and codegen won't be it's stron

I would love to understand the thought process behind this. I'm sure it's a fun experiment, to see if it's possible and so on... but what tangible benefit could there be to burning tokens to spam comments on every post?

> The president holds all the cards, he is above the law This is provably not true. The fastest way for this to become true is to believe it, or at least to parrot it, even in a facetious way.

The "extra" is that the government is now attempting to unilaterally renegotiate contracts, and if the contractor disagrees, not only do they terminate the agreement but they restrict how other companies can work with you.
