Depends on how you access the site. Generally from a residential IP I get the login wall after 2-3 comment threads on new reddit. From a cellular network or proxy it's instant.

One of the main goals of splitting procurement into high/low-end systems is that the production of low-end systems can easily be surged by using existing manufacturing capacity or by factories that can be spun up quickly.

It's basically how Ukraine is doing it, with the EU and the US providing high-end systems while they have hundreds of small companies building drones. Russia also repurposed existing warehouses and factories to pump out hundreds of cheap drones per week relatively quickly.

But the elephant in the room is that they both rely heavily on China for batteries and electronic components, which the US obviously won't choose to do.

OP is talking about corruption which is orthogonal to being a dictatorship. In fact the least corrupt subsaharan country is (by far) Rwanda, which is a de facto dictatorship.

And the impacts of corruption/cronyism/clientelism are not just money being siphoned at the top. It completely breaks any fair competition wether it's in economic markets or for jobs. Businesses don't succeed based on how competitive or innovative they are, simply based on who their founder knows and how much they're willing to pay in bribes, so your economic development stragnates. Important and influential positions are awarded not to the most competent but to the richest. Opening a small business requires you to bribe dozens of people, and good luck if you need to import or export goods.

The closest I could find to that claim was a Townhall article¹ mentioning that he posed for a picture with an imam whose mosque was attende by terrorists. Townhall as in the conservative radio/news site and not the NYC town hall.

Agreed, our real-life corporations are still trying to convince themselves (by 'them' I mean employees) that they're the good guys and wrap everything in a layer of HR-speak' "We're helping connect the world! Yay!", " We're collaborating with the ministry of War to zero people, but only if they have a signed judicial order", etc.

Their fictional counterparts don't bother.

When I was shopping for wearable body cameras last year, I searched for reviews on YouTube and about half the search results were creep shots of retail and restaurant workers. Gives you a good idea of who the early adopters for this tech are.

That's my personal theory too. The model is stuffing its own context with vaguely related tokens, which helps the attention heads retrieve the right tokens.

Reminded me of The Great Silence by Ted Chiang. https://electricliterature.com/the-great-silence-by-ted-chia...

I work on a small team maintaining multiple services and this is very similar to our approach. Although I generally find review easier _without_ splitting every PR by backend/frontend. The additional context helps and you don't have to switch back and forth between two sets of files/changes to make sure the interfaces align. Good ol' feature branches are also useful when you have multiple interdependent breaking changes.

P.S. Bruno if you see this please skip the LLM fluff-up next time. It makes it hard to read.

Don't blame LLMs if the zeitgeist for coffee shop websites is sepia tones and a Papyrus-like font.

My university's Principles of WebDev course 10 years ago had a similar assignment and the results all ended up looking like that too.

Unless he shows evidence of independent re-development like his LLM agent history or at the very least git commits, I'll consider that a lie

Another story about $BIGCORP's automated systems fucking over or locking out one of their users, but luckily the specific user was big enough or had a friend working at $BIGCORP that could escalate their complaint for proper human review.

I started tracking my sleep quality (measured by a smart watch) and caffeine consumption a few months ago. Turns out caffeine didn't make much of a difference for me. Other things that correlated much better with good sleep were avoiding alcohol, exercising and cold showers and reading before going to bed.

As the saying goes, measure first, optimize later.

These rants every time a new model iteration comes out reminds me of the large number of users complaining every time an established piece of software releases breaking changes. People understandably don't like having to change their workflows or refactor. The difference with LLM upgrades is that you don't get a changelog, you (probably) don't have unit tests to catch regressions, and if you use a proprietary model you have no reliable way of knowing which exact version of the model you're using or which runtime settings are being used.

Non-textual can mean audio or video call, not necessarily in person.

Just make car registration fees proportional to the odds of killing or injuring someone:

Cost ∝ mass² × blind spot ratio

You could also add another mass⁴ term to compensate for road damage.

GPS interference is estimated from ADS-B data which is broadcast by airplanes so that they can be tracked. The lack of data over Ukraine is because their airspace is closed to civilian flights.

If this is expected to be bad for ETF investors, what's stopping let's say Vanguard or Blackrock from creating their own index that tracks the NASDAQ but without the new inclusion rules, and then changing their ETFs' target indexes to that one. Vanguard is investor-owned so it would be in their best interest wouldn't it?

Yes, it's derivative of the onion article on mass shootings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27No_Way_to_Prevent_This,%27_...

Humid air has higher heat capacity and higher heat conductivity than dry air which both increase convective heat loss.

I think that's more of a NextJs thing than an LLM thing.

Luckily Congress passed a law with bipartisan support to protect US service members from ICC custody (commonly referred to as The Hague Invasion Act).

It's hard to claim ""bad apples"" when the top brass acquits soldiers who get caught on camera sexually abusing a prisoner and instead prosecutes the whistleblower for leaking evidence of the crime.

It definitely is a thing in the eyes of Delaware courts:

In eBay vs Newmark: >Having chosen a for-profit corporate form, the craigslist directors are bound by the fiduciary duties and standards that accompany that form. Those standards include acting to promote the value of the corporation for the benefit of its stockholders. The “Inc.” after the company name has to mean at least that. Thus, I cannot accept as valid for the purposes of implementing the Rights Plan a corporate policy that specifically, clearly, and admittedly seeks not to maximize the economic value of a for-profit Delaware corporation for the benefit of its stockholders—no matter whether those stockholders are individuals of modest means or a corporate titan of online commerce.

In the Trados case: >It is, of course, accepted that a corporation may take steps, such as giving charitable contributions or paying higher wages, that do not maximize profits currently. They may do so, however, because such activities are rationalized as producing greater profits over the long-term. Decisions of this nature benefit the corporation as a whole, and by increasing the value of the corporation, the directors increase the share of value available for the residual claimants. Judicial opinions therefore often refer to directors owing fiduciary duties ―to the corporation and its shareholders. This formulation captures the foundational relationship in which directors owe duties to the corporation for the ultimate benefit of the entity‘s residual claimants. Nevertheless, ―stockholders‘ best interest must always, within legal limits, be the end. Other constituencies may be considered only instrumentally to advance that end.

It depends on your legal jurisdiction but it means COs need to act in the corporation's best interest and not their own. In some places, that requires them to take shareholders' interests into account (especially for mergers or takeovers) but also the employees, consumers or creditors. In the US and notably Delaware, courts generally value shareholder value over anything else.

Considering the vast majority of US corporations are incorporated in Delaware, I think it's accurate to say most US companies only aim to maximize shareholder value.
