intrasight··on Mac at any scale
> Is the community of devs being forced to buy mac hw just do dev a iOS/macOs app so large

Yes.

Why else would you buy such an expensive machine with such a crappy operating system?

intrasight··on The 'Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen' post is misleading
Yes, I'm glad I waited for this post to arrive before even delving into the topic.
intrasight··on Anthropic IPO filing: $1.7B quarterly payroll, about $107K per employee monthly
There is no such thing as an "independent company". They are all dependent on the federal government to protect them from the marauding herds.
intrasight··on Show HN: Subvocal – Talk to your computer without making noise
Better sensors will change that
intrasight··on Show HN: Subvocal – Talk to your computer without making noise
I did research in this space about eight years ago. Our approach was to look at deformations in the ear canal. Rumor has it that Apple AirPods will have sensors in the ear canal. I was hoping to use those sensors with our app, but it looks like Apple is not going to provide access to the raw sensor data. I expected Apple is going to support subvocal speech pretty soon.
intrasight··on A tiny Pacific country rolls out universal basic income
Only entitlements are protected from the austerity budget cutting acts. Social spending and science don't fall into the entitlement category.
intrasight··on Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?
Honest question. Do projectors also suffer?
intrasight··on Anthropic's Mythos-class model allegedly leaked on Hugging Face
Not a lawyer, but I don't see what protection they have other than trade secrets since the weights are just data and data can't be copyrighted.

If states can require balanced budgets, I see no reason why the federal government can't be required to as well
intrasight··on Brazilian Court Sanctions Lawyers for Prompt Injection in Court Filing
They did ask for it directly - because it was present in their document. My own opinion is that the concealment is irrelevant, and if the courts are gonna automate document processing, then it's on totally on them to make their systems hack-proof. There should be no sanctions on trying to hack the legal system.

it's pretty rare for a bar would sanction its members.

Inflation means they drop the price by not raising the price.
intrasight··on Kentucky man becomes the first humanist granted religious exemption from AI
I remember a time when we had to go back in time to get a whale so that machines and animals could coexist.
intrasight··on Kentucky man becomes the first humanist granted religious exemption from AI
Which is better than getting no exceptions - if only the two extremes are available.
intrasight··on Land Value Capture in Practice: Ethiopia's Urban Land Lease System
Only "urban" land? Who owns the rest? Can no new urban land be created? Or does the government take it by eminent domain?
intrasight··on Police are using AI to pull over drivers for 'suspicious' behavior
It's the human in the loop that makes it subjective. Whether it's better or worse to have policing be subjective is a valid question.

I've had plenty of encounters where the discretion of a police officer was of great benefit to me and my friends.

intrasight··on Anthropic S-1
Regular fighter jets and helicopters will suffice.
intrasight··on Type Server Protocol
TSP : TriSodium Phosphate. Very good for cleaning up a mess.
intrasight··on Anthropic S-1
The oligarchs should not be concerned about the masses. It's the president of the United States, with a wave of his hand, that will wipe out all the data centers when that becomes necessary. I'm predicting that will become necessary and will happen within five years. I'm predicting anthropic stock price goes to zero.
intrasight··on Anthropic S-1
Exactly. And for every Amazon, there's 100 companies that no longer exist.
intrasight··on Appreciating the beauty of all your body's scars and scratches
"Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real." Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses.
intrasight··on We are all living inside of an obscure sci-fi film from 1970
Skip the movie please. Read the three books. They are prophetic.
intrasight··on No more icons in every menu by default
Recruit from top school masters program.
intrasight··on Quad9 to exit France
If they include pirates in viewership data, they might have a valid claim.
intrasight··on Quad9 to exit France
Sports is the only thing left of value in broadcasting. I can totally understand why they're gonna fight tooth and nail to protect it.

Same. He made the project so rewarding for us all.
intrasight··on Show HN: SimCity, but with Permits
You could but you don't
intrasight··on Show HN: SimCity, but with Permits
No, that would be terrible and much worse, obviously, compared to walking down the street to my local borough building and getting a permit. In the vast majority of the country, that would be very silly suggestion.
intrasight··on My Friend Bob Cringely
The 2004 story made me laugh
intrasight··on Apple broke an essential presentation feature of iPads
Those millions of settings give some users a pleasurable but false sense of control.
