iamacyborg··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
If the handling of the Epstein files in the US is anything to go by, they’d get away scot free.
iamacyborg··on Meta Agrees to Pay $16.7B to Settle Social Media Case
That didn’t take long.

Hey now, let’s not burst his utopic bubble.

> What will happen once people are priced out of buying computers? I find this worrying.

I’m sure some kind capitalist will be happy to rent them a thin client linked to a computer in the cloud.

Reverting to Opus 4.6 is much better than later models, though that is still full of annoying tics as well.
iamacyborg··on Show HN: Check if any of the $656M in unclaimed royalties at The MLC is yours
Cool, so not only do Spotify pay big record labels/artists more than smaller artists (because if I listen exclusively to artist X, my subscription money is paid across all streams globally on the platform, not just the artist I actually listened to) but then it double dips and those artists could be getting fucked over twice.

Wow, streaming is great.

iamacyborg··on The Amazon tax
You might want to read some of their quarterly earning reports and research papers their teams submit. Your experience is not commensurate with financial reality.
iamacyborg··on Google has acquired the data of failed US airline Spirit
Axios claims the acquisition doesn’t contain passenger profiles or frequent flyer info but that data would be trivial to replicate given the Responsys data set which would include records of all transactional emails sent.

It’s certainly a step up from the Enron corpus.

It’s on its way out, fiber’s the new thing.

Fiber’s the new fad supplement.
iamacyborg··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
>it does like talking about "seams"

Sounds like it was trained heavily on Opus 4.7.

iamacyborg··on Why does Opus 5 feel worse to work with?
The problem I’ve been finding is that you can do this but within a few messages, the instructions in the skill will be ignored.

Absolutely infuriating if you’re using Claude in an environment where you can’t run hooks.

As opposed to commenting on Hacker News.
iamacyborg··on Claude users are mad that Anthropic's new watermarks will catch them using it
Sure, but if my experience (I know, I know) is anything to go by, it's increasingly difficult to get Claude to write in anything other than it's own house style.

Is it possible for them to sound even more AI?

LLMs are infecting us all with Nobelitis.
iamacyborg··on A 'bananas' order for 5000 obscure book titles fuels suspicion
I’ve not followed the market much but I suspect some fine press editions of Stephen King’s work would be up there. Of course, tons of standard paperback editions of those that could be pulped.

There are plenty of rare and precious books with ISBNs.
iamacyborg··on The software group Palantir paid just £2M in corporation tax in the UK in 2024
My guy, stop asking me to do all the legwork for you.
iamacyborg··on The software group Palantir paid just £2M in corporation tax in the UK in 2024
The problem is your content both looks and reads like low effort slop. Not that AI tools are here to stay.

Which might be true if the content weren’t also AI slop.
iamacyborg··on The software group Palantir paid just £2M in corporation tax in the UK in 2024
The content generally reads like Claude slop. Lots of self-narration, throat clearing sentences, overuse of verbs like “lands”, overuse of tidy sentence conclusions.

It’s all fixable with a modicum of effort but combined with the slop styling I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve other than just pushing slop online.

If the website looks like slop, why would anyone believe the content in it to be anything but slop too?

Hard to look past the claude slop design

Not sure what the point of this is when gmail has a subscription centre built in.
iamacyborg··on Zigbee vs. Matter over Thread:Understanding IoT Protocol Performance in Practice
My whole setup is, suboptimal, to put it delicately. It’s just running on a NUC that’s crammed inside my AV cabinet, antennas would be crammed in there as well. I mostly buy zigbee stuff but it’s hard to ignore how cheap the Ikea Matter over Thread kit is.
iamacyborg··on Zigbee vs. Matter over Thread:Understanding IoT Protocol Performance in Practice
My Matter over Thread stuff keeps occasionally falling over in Home Assistant and becoming unavailable, probably a router issue as I’m using a homepod mini but still endlessly frustrating.
