The author did not call it an evil force, did they? The author seemed more nuanced in what they were saying... > "I don’t know what this relationship will ultimately mean for us, and I don’t think anyone else does either. That uncer

The breaking API changes are frustrating, especially the one that removes forced tool use.

Sounds fine to me! Less inane, pointless, content? Only left with what people chose to exist? Sign me up!

Everything above 127 would be extended ASCII instead of strict ASCII, if that matters.

The context of what the nation was facing in the 1860's (the civil war) and 1940's (world war 2) were very materially different than what it faces now.

It is cliche, but I haven't had good luck with having Chinese models openly discuss historical topics like Tienanmen Square. The US models don't seem to have a problem discussing history, even if it points an unglamorous light on

That sounds awful; it means 3+ times a day a whole plane of a passengers is getting sprayed with this stuff.

I don't know that those timelines make sense; there were highways going through San Francisco... until the Loma Prieta earthquake; and then suddenly not. A cursory look at what Freeway Revolt was, seems to point to a movement in the 19

Didn't the Loma Prieta earthquake do that?

The TV app is baked into the device and is automatically focused if you press up too many times on the remote (and thereby triggering the large banner ads).

by wewtyflakes 2mo ago
There are plenty of ads on Apple TV; huge banners right at the top of the UI, and ads that launch before you get to see the content of a show with no way to automatically disable them (you have to manually click through or just wait it out)

I've hit it with intensely benign things; like asking it to make me a web-based client-side word game. I am guessing it saw the dictionary and pattern matched on various words, though ultimately it provided no explanation for why it tr

I suspect the vast majority of services are not dealing with such massive JSON documents that doing serde on them becomes a material part of their latency breakdown.

The root of a JSON document can also be an array.

On-point surveillance by people would be a good start; I do not see why it needs to start with endless surveillance by machines run by a private company.

A society glued together with cameras rather than people, is shallow.

The fact that Scott Wiener made that carve out for restaurants via emergency legislation (SB 1524) made my blood boil and I vowed to vote against him in any election is runs in.

Great to hear about full-duplex. When using voice mode historically, it was infuriating to have the AI go on a long-winded rant or explanation and I would be shouting again and again "stop. shut up. shut up! shut up!!!"; I just ne

If democracy does not work, the consequences for that are broader than considering the pros/cons of data centers.
23.
by wewtyflakes 3mo ago
If you go in with the assumption that democracy does not work, then there is also no point in protesting, as being angry about datacenters would mean nothing anyway.
24.
by wewtyflakes 3mo ago
I feel that the resentment to be short sighted. Datacenters do not vote, but people do. If a datacenter is in a locale, it gives those voters a de-facto, outsized, soft power.

The companies that make these TVs love that we are this point since they can now take away the subsidy, and you also coincidentally now have no option to buy a non-smart TV, so they are now collecting $ from both the purchase and from the a

I do not understand what you mean by "overcorrecting WAY too far". I have not posited anything aside from wealth disparity existing and that the wealthy do not have a tendency to just give money to the government for the fun of it
29.
by wewtyflakes 3mo ago
That is a strawman argument. Nobody is seriously arguing to take all the money. I called out extreme wealth disparity, and implied it was a problem. You can disagree at the latter, but you cannot disagree with the former.

by wewtyflakes 3mo ago
This is a byproduct of wild wealth disparity, not because the rich are so generous with paying the government.
