Posted this a few mins ago with downdetector as the link. Mods mind merging or deleting my post?

I find it humorous that the animal + plane combo appears to be such an outlier. I assume this is due to the models assuming the user mean plain and misspelled it in the prompt.

Valid, though the title on the page mentions Politico, and Reuters typically does their own write-up (which I tend to prefer) in short order after posting a stub article such as this.

While I'm thrilled that kids are experiencing the thrill of buying physical media, I'm not sure CD's are the best way to go. Most of my CD's from my teenage years are no longer playable (partially due to poor upkeep, but some literally from disc rot). But hey, they'll learn the same lesson in a couple of decades haha.

I've personally been buying vinyl both because of the fact I missed out on the excitement myself growing up, and because I have some records that came out decades before I was born that play like the day they were minted. They've outlasted pretty much all of my CD's.

Wait, I can do that? Here I've been using Smoots this whole time (with great difficulty might I add).

I did not get that implication. I simply thought it was a library that contains books that have been banned from some context that happens to be in Portugal.

> no one but the most online ideologue

> Find a better argument

That is just a reversed no-true-scottsman fallacy. If the poster's "hysterics" are a poor argument, please break down why rather than just calling it silly.

It is obvious that many in this community are against wholesale collection of information, public or private, as evidenced by the thousands of posts that state such reservations.

Indeed, wrong link. Thanks for the catch

$1049 for the base package? Much better than I thought it was going to be. I figured minimum $1200.

I really don't like that headlines have been surfacing about the US government putting pressure on Anthropic, and now a short time later they are requiring ID's (albeit for certain use cases, but that's a slippery slope).

I may very well stop using Claude due to this.

Also, who is providing the verification service? We don't want another Discord situation.

EDIT: Just saw it's Persona. Definitely dropping Claude now.

They certainly can. And the list of people who have become rich only to have it siphoned away by bean counters is at least as long as the people who are still rich.

That's a very naive, but common, viewpoint of wealth. "Worth" 1.3 billion does not mean "has 1.3 billion lying around in liquid cash". Net worth is tied up usually in many bank accounts across multiple banks, securities, real estate, trusts, etc. And that's all excluding capital tied up in corporations/orgs. Freeing up and giving away half of a billion dollar net worth is a difficult and time consuming thing, one which requires effort to do.

This is specifically for migrating to Hermes from OpenClaw. The title should suggest that.

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess, and the insane lament.

It's already somewhat de facto happening due to hardware prices. Personal computing is getting priced out pretty hard, and I don't see that changing unless the consolidated AI bubble pops.

I didn't get the sense that the prose was AI generated at all. How did you come to that conclusion?

This has very little to do with the actual demand for good software though. People very much still want good software that works. The issue is the group of people in the industry that have learned they can push blasphemously useless crap, charge a premium, and have people be forced to consume it due to poor governance over market practices (monopolies, blatantly anti-consumer features, etc).

Maybe Claude was Kira all along

This needs to be prepended with the fact that it's an Elon Musk quote

I think that's part of the story, but the holders of the most popular marketplaces are I think willingly allowing the actual utility of connecting job seekers with jobs to fall to shit for the sake of user engagement. LinkedIn being a prime example.

If job marketplaces actually cared about the end user experiences of those seeking/offering jobs, we'd see much more effort towards blunting the impact of things such as AI spam and ghost job postings. They have no real impetus to do so, however, because they are making money hand over fist off the volume of people desperately interacting with their services.

In short, the main interface to the job market has been enshittified.

My tolerance for donation begging is directly proportional to how A) non-evil the thing is asking for the donations and B) how much utility I get out of said thing. KDE, personally, falls squarely into the "By all means, beg" category. I use their stuff every day for free, and their hard work deserves recompense.

That's...the joke. The humor is in the absurdity of recommending an addon to the car that utterly would not work and would look ridiculous. It's layered on the fact that Jeep snorkels look sort of ridiculous even on the vehicles they were designed for.

I can't relate that much to this. Every time I use AI to write code, I'm constantly fighting a feeling on the back of my neck that I need to look over everything it has done and supplement/alter it with my own code. That ick feeling counteracts the dopamine hit of having a working app after a few minutes of vibe coding, and I don't think that's going anywhere anytime soon.

That said, I have experience. I could absolutely see myself falling into this as a junior or even mid level dev. I'd no doubt not feel that feeling on my neck if it wasn't scarred from code review lashings early in my career by knowledgeable mentors.

No, they meant inflated. Cars are quite expensive right now, and dealers are notorious for raking in cash through financing. If they were subsidized, prices would be lower to increase user base, as in the aforementioned dynamic present in the current smart TV market.

I think the inital point was that car manufacturers/dealers are double dipping through initial cost/interest AND data harvesting.

Oh boy, another one of these jackoffs. Rosetti the Rat couldn't get him convicted because HE DID NOTHING WRONG. You people need to let it go.

Melt, but not ignite. There's no free oxygen to allow burning. A nitpick, sure, but probably worth mentioning.

Hard times make for strong men (and women)...

This might be cliche, but it has truth to it. Nothing drives production and innovation quite like scarcity and financial adversity.

Until the next administration, at least
