Traditionally the most profitable approach is offering enterprise support and consulting.

As much as I like to shit on cloudflare at every opportunity, it would obviously be easier to put it behind CF than install bot detection plugins.

Excitement and perhaps a delusional pitch to a VC?

>All for what exactly, control?

No, quarterly earnings. In this case, retained earnings, but they want to show profits in a situation with high inflation, stagnant employment, and other issues where customers are not as spendy as they once were.

What Mac are you using that can run kimi k2?

Tell more about your setup!

I get a similar response when talking with other parents about allowing phones in school. We know that there are 130k+ schools in the US, and that a school shooting is statistically very, very small, however they still want to have a way for their children to contact them (or for them to contact their kids) if this happens. The mothers, in particular, all agree on this in my circle.

Is that 300 kid abductions by strangers? Because just based on the amber alerts that I get where the police suspect a parent that number can not possibly be correct if not.

The folks over on /r/MyBoyfriendIsAI seem to be in an absolute shambles over the change .

>Mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineers do not have this concept.

>What makes an excellent engineer is risk mitigation and designing systems under a variety of possible constraints.

I take it that those fields also don't live by the "move fast and break things" motto?

I have been having a lot of luck with Blip[0] recently regarding phone <-> laptop file transfer. My biggest issue so far is that it does support iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows ... but not Linux.

>I don’t really get why anybody would want to rule over an uneducated populace.

I would guess (I am not in that cohort) that they would claim that their argument is that they are not arguing for an uneducated populace, but arguing against a "mis-educated" or "indoctrinated" populace.

>What’s the long term plan?

My guess here would be that the long term plan is to return to a "nicer" before-time that doesn't include things they don't like but does include things like helpful new technologies.

I have found that people can rationalize nearly anything if they are allowed to define the constraints of their argument.

Thanks for the intro to Merlin! I just went outside of my house and used it on 5 different types of birds and it helped me identify 100%. Relevent (possibly out of date) xkcd comic

Hi! I don't have a need for your products directly, but I was very intrigued when I saw TB's demo and talk on ThePrimeagen YT channel. I have be developing software for a looooong time and it was a breath of fresh air in a sea of startups to see a company champion optimization, speed, and security without going too deep in the weeds and slowing development. These days, that typically comes more as an afterthought or as a response to an incident. Or not at all. I would recommend any developer with an open mind to read this short document[0]. I have been integrating it into my own company's development practices with good results.

Has science gone too far, or not far enough? Surely there are business opportunities for reanimating the dead bodies of animals! Where is the mouse jiggler made from an actual dead mouse being controlled by a Raspberry Pi? Or the carcass of a dead dog controlled by an air bladder that will lurch from behind your shrubs and snap at a prowler using zigbee and connected to your security system?

>I still haven't found anything good.

I have used pCloud for years with no issue.

Also external "slow" storage drives are fairly inexpensive now as a third backup if your whole life's images and important documents are at stake.

Always best to keep multiple copies of photos or documents that you care about in multiple places. Houses can flood or burn, computers and storage can fail. No need to be over-paranoid about it, but two copies of important things isn't asking too much of someone.

>but studies have shown that the mouse is faster for almost all common tasks.

Do you think that daily CLI Linux/UNIX users might have a different list of what they consider "common tasks"?

I get that, but paying to do it?

I had to replace the fans on a 2013 MBP that I use as a linux laptop and the experience was one of the most nerve-wracking in my whole life! It really is put together to dissuade people from tweaking anything inside of it.

simonw is going to force every competitive LLM to over-ingest cartoon svg pelicans before this is over!

>Optane drives

This is the secret hack a lot of people don't know about!

>My parents still leave the door unlocked when they are home,

I live in a small town, not rural but not a "city", and I haven't locked my doors in so long I don't even know where my house keys are.

I don't understand the reasoning behind the "feed them a bunch of trash" option when it seems that if you identify them (for example by ignoring a robots.txt file) you can just keep them hung up on network connections or similar without paying for infinite garbage for crawlers to injest.

>Aren’t they all trained on copyrighted material, and lobbying governments to make that legal?

Only for them, not for you.

>Should copyright law only apply to the plebs?

In a practical sense, hasn't that been the case for most laws?

>Review flood of AI gen slop is going to burn out many teachers as it does with programmers hit by PR floods from juniors.

No problem! There is an AI solution for that!

>I worry how these who love to write will get thru the system?

Eventually, I think very poorly. For now it seems that a lot of teachers can kind of tell who has used AI and who hasn't and seem to reward "old school" writers. But the future of communication, in general, seems grim.

>This has a lot of implications, but it does generally result in the job being more interesting overall.

One implication is that when AI providers claim that "AI can make a person TWICE as productive!"

... business owners seem to be hearing that as "Those users should cost me HALF as much!"

>Humans can achieve more within one (or two, or a few) narrowly scoped field(s), after a lot of hard work and effort.

>No one reasonably expects a LLM to be able to do the former

I can feel Sam Altman's rage building ...

So are they going to try and IP gate them or trust that AI companies that literally stole the info they used to make the base models will now respect robots.txt entries?
