I can say, as a SysAdmin, I have been taught and tell my users to check the domain to verify a website is real.

It's a strange edgecase that the owner of John.Doe.com does not need to own Doe.com

In every other case that I know about, to own the Joe subdomain of Doe.com, you would need to own Doe.com

edit: I guess I've gotten so used to the government 3LDs I just don't even see them anymore, or just see something like .co.uk or .edu.us as a TLD by itself, but yeah those exist too. Still the exception to the rule

>agentic payments provider

The LAST thing you want to be non-deterministic is a payment system, right? What is the possible use of AI in the payment process? I fill in fields and that gets whisked away to an API somewhere to verify. Why do I possibly need Claude involved?

FWIW, Claude is an available model of Enterprise Copilot, and I'm sure Microsoft is paying a pretty penny to keep that as an option. Between Chat and Claude, most of my workplace prefers to use Claude. To your point though, the user isn't paying, and doesn't need to concern themselves with cost. I'd imagine if any of them have an active subscription to either, it's Chat

Sets a bad precedent though, right?

Do you blame the hammer for bending the nail, or the person driving it? AI is nothing more than a tool being used by people.

When my internet goes down, I blame either my ISP for having an outage, or the manufacturer of my router (assuming it's a router issue? Haven't had that happen personally but I'm certain it exists) (Or i did something dumb with my ufw again but that's on me)

If you create an autonomous system and it fails, blame should be on you, imo.

The word is still 'blame', it just needs to be applied correctly.

I'm being incredibly pedantic, but 244Hz monitors would refresh faster than the revolutions, right? Or do I misunderstand Hz

A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.

You can't 'blame' the AI, as it can't be held accountable.

The literal next sentence is 'His son could write the destination on them and fly for free'. That was added to be a description of what a 'wax ticket' is

Pretty sure it's one of those "All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares" situations. Transformers are what really started the LLM Boom, and seem to be crucial to the technology. They also have other applications, such as what OP created

I think both can be true at the same time. They provided insane value, and while I'm not sure if they were first, they were most people's introduction during the initial LLM boom. Their code was also sloppy, and the org was mismanaged. Sometimes, success really is just 'right place, right time'

MMOs need bots farming gold, and are usually designing their economy around it

Or Uber drivers in London

For some, sure! Others may find they feel the need to contribute more than a prompt, and that's fine too!

I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way, and I'm not a professional, but it seems more like you're dealing with self-identity and depression issues than 'AI brain drain' (Which I do not mean to discredit). The last paragraph atleast rung pretty true to me, who does deal with such issues.

It's the lack of motivation. Why even bother doing something by hand when an LLM can get me 90% of what I want in a few minutes, without much work from me? What value can I provide to this project that Claude cannot?

But even in the age of 3D-Printers and such, people still wood-work and metal-smith and make models. We have Suno but (most) artists are still writing music by hand, out of passion of the craft.

I'd suggest just trying to find something you're passionate about, and work on that. Maybe it's not even programming-related.

Or I'm way off-base, just trying to draw parallels to myself. Feel free to dismiss this

Locking the next generation of programmers into CUDA

I was being a little exaggeratory on the 'first date' specifically, but there is 100% a subculture of 'normies' who care about things like that. The iPhone, and even the amount of cameras on your iPhone, became a status symbol.

Apple knows it, it's why they do everything they can to prevent 3rd party 'workarounds' to use iMessage. It's one of the things that gets people in the ecosystem, and keeps people in the ecosystem once they're in.

Blue bubbles and Facetime has probably kept more customers than anything else they have

If you're implying ~60% of the pop is pirating cable I don't believe it's anywhere near that high

edit: oh I think you meant streaming-only. Yeah, maybe a lot higher...I don't have a good gauge on that

The market is optimal, you're failing to value brand perception and any social effects as a price factor

Androids are probably better than iPhones. But you may lose a first date with a girl for sending a message with green bubbles instead of blue bubbles, so people buy iPhones. The iPhone is worth more than the Android, in this example.

...like a sub-reddit

Is this entire site not an alternative to a sub-reddit?

A monthly headline could honestly just read "Apple treated its own better than rivals" and it would always be relevant

The OP is also the author, and writing on 'NMS Spot .com".

This is an article for fans, with an audience of fans. Explaining the basics would be unnecessary for the vast majority of readers.

Now, maybe posting to HN requires you address your new audience as well, but I'm just pointing out the above.

Off-topic clearly. but is there like an "NA/AA" for racism? Or like a therapy program or something akin to? Does 'usual' therapy touch on racism?

Like..where does one 'get help' for being racist? Honest question, I don't mean to sound snarky...

If I'm like a high school/uni student, where this seems to really matter at the moment, you can still just have the LLM generate it and type it word for word in whatever text editor you're using, right? Less convenient but still probably easier than doing whatever work was necessary + still typing it all up. Chain of custody would show my keyboard really typed each stroke or w/e, but the underlying work is still generated

My apologies, I misunderstood your original comment to mean "We shouldn't have local models if it breaks watermarking" but yes, I think we're on the same page now

Ignoring the other technical hurdles of the idea...this problem you outlaid is solved with a timestamp in the database, right? You can easily prove if the prompt was before/after publishing date?

Local models also enable:

- not being locked into a provider

- not being forced to have your prompts saved by a possible competitor

- an alternative to the duolopy we quickly see forming

- offline access

I fear for the future without local models, much more than the future with them, and would rather everyone had access to a local model than be certain we catch everyone copy+pasting LLM responses. Watermarking would be cool, but it's not worth losing local for.

Oh, I've done more than my fair share of substances across the hallucinogen class, with a preference for Shrooms or LSD

I just was under the impression that from a 'medical(?)' point of view, the trip is nothing more than food poisoning

Local models?

Not sure if it's the same here, but I've been told your usual 'trip' off psilocybin bearing mushrooms is really just a form of food-poisoning
