You're making incorrect assumptions, you know nothing about me and how I've lived.

I don't know UK law but assume they already made that illegal.

This isn't a safety issue, it's LLM companies trying to be opaque and stop distillation.

Cheap 5% beer is still available but there is an increase of availability of higher ABV beer.

For example, when I was younger grocery stores didn't stock anything but the big national brands. Now they stock far more variety, much of it over 5%.

This has nothing to do with my income. I've liked better beer since I started drinking in college. I've never liked the mass produced junk.

What you're suggesting is that all Mexicans suffer more because some money may somehow end up in the hands of the cartel. And that, for some reason, the US should help do this. That's absurd.

If you really want to eliminate the cartels make recreational drugs legal.

That's not the case in the US. If anything I see far more beers that are 6-10% now.

What's with big tech companies changing all searches to be fuzzy? FB Marketplace is now like this too. It's impossible to search for anything, it gives unrelated results at least half the time.

It is. If the price suddenly goes up that much they need to be sending very clear warning emails about the price increase, with the subject clearly saying so. Something like "Alert: Upcoming Domain Renewal Price Increased to $3000"

No, you have an LLM do all that again.

Where are you getting that from? It's a productivity tool. Someone who knows what they're doing can leverage LLMs to improve their productivity. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing will be able to increase their output but not do it as effectively and with lower quality.

If anything, it now requires more skill to maximize. If you have strong product and engineering experience you can get even more out of an LLM than one of those skills alone.

The other commenters seem to be commenting on style consistency but ignoring your example. Your original format is far easier to read and understand plus the meaning of the comment is lost. IMO you're completely right about this example. Single line dict definitions shouldn't exist. Dicts are far easier to understand and manage when each key/value pair is on its own line, regardless of length.

Moderation is a requirement of any platform that has user generated content. Without it they will turn to wasteland of spam and hate.

> Turn off nearly all phone notifications.

You should do this regardless, no watch needed. The only phone notifications that should be turned on are ones that could be urgent. Phone calls, maybe text messages, alarms, and calendar reminders. No email, no social media, no stupid random apps telling you about some discount.

Why does someone always say this about a tech company when they have layoffs, regardless of company size?

465 employees is not that large. Patreon handles millions of transactions. They need support, sales, engineers, etc. If anything I'm surprised they're not well over 1000.

It's nothing until you have to buy a $10/m subscription for every basic thing you do, then it adds up.

Porsche is doing that for RS cars.

> I don't use email anymore.

That's a choice. Why no email? Why is it so hard to have an email account for the few things that require it?

He was one of the few judges that understood tech. Unfortunately he retired last year.

Judge Alsup issued the original order that determined they were liable for piracy but that training LLMs on books was fair use. It's worth reading if you're interested in the topic. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69058235/231/bartz-v-an...

> Every practical use of that 50 gb copy of Home Alone would have you transcoding it. Most clients would choke on that bit rate.

What clients are you using? I use the highest bitrate HDR videos possible. I very rarely have to transcode. 4k TVs are cheap as are 4k streaming devices.

The main case for transcoding is playing a video in a browser that doesn't support the original codec. Everything can handle high bitrate streams now. The one other rare exception is video that's over 100Mbit/s. I've encountered a few that are that high and some streaming boxes can only handle 100Mb.

It's funny though. I haven't contributed to OpenCode but if I had I'd still laugh because I have a sense of humor. Don't take everything so seriously.

Thanks for sharing, I'm not sure how I've never heard of this before.

Can you even disable all the ads on Windows 11?

There are two problems, false positives and changing the LLM's pattern.

It's really easy to have a false positive and false positives can be very harmful if the person using the detector isn't aware of that risk.

It's also very easy to change the pattern of LLM output. You can provide basic prompting that will significantly change the structure of the output. For example, having it utilize the Wikipedia article on signs of AI writing and avoid everything it describes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

That sounds like a fun setup. I need to try out something like that.

It works well until it doesn't. I've been a Spotify user for at least 15 years (wild to say that). I've discovered a ton of bands I've become a long term fan of.

But also their algorithmic playlists have gotten worse and worse. They overfit user data. They all recommend the same singles over and over and over. I've found they also don't make sense, recommending music that doesn't even belong in the playlist.

I've switched to user created playlists more often than the algo ones, although a lot of user playlists are just saved copies of Spotify generated recommendations.

It has been known for a while that they were going to do this. They have multiple brands and sales aren't strong enough to keep them all.

Besides a mix of older Pixels and other phones, in the past few years I went OnePlus 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and currently OnePlus 13. I was completely underwhelmed by the 8 Pro. If felt like a marginal improvement over the OnePlus 8 for a premium price. The back cracked, water got in, and it stopped working. The OnePlus 13 feels like a significantly better phone in every way.
