Well yeah, probably -- during this self made crisis oil prices in the US are some of the most well controlled.

Destabilizing everywhere else is a potential step taken toward achieving continental superiority in certain regards.

( not a GOOD step, mind you)

> not your $100/month..

This is made brutally obvious by anthropics customer support for people with such accounts.

My dad speaks loudly on speakerphone phones in restaurants and public spaces daily because he's a rude old asshole.

No one beside myself has ever told him to stop because I think being old gives one a bit of a 'get out of jail free card ' with regard to social behaviors.

I would love for you or someone like you to happen upon him and tell him to knock it off, but alas that seems fleetingly rare.

Great, I'm glad we settled this once and for all this so that I don't have to shoulder any more blame from Europeans about trump being president.

How to get things done with prompts, for one ; a skill that's looking increasingly useful as time goes on.

'Help me but don't patronize' is a tall order without some real linguistic gymnastics.

All of the legislation and regulation and infrastructure in the world is not going to get rid of stairs everywhere.

Medi cal, medicare, and private insurance have all chipped in for my ramps, but none of them will touch something like an iBot chair with a 50 ft pole because it has ambiguous insurance coding associated to it rather than being a normal wheelchair.

So.. In other words, what's the problem? People are buying the high tech gimmicks either out of pocket or through equally spotty VA coverage.

The US has systems in place to aid the purchase of ramps for those in need and offers ample opportunity to sue businesses into bankruptcy for getting any ADA stuff wrong.. what's the demand exactly? It seems like "engineers shouldn't be so creative" to me, but the reality is that they should work on stuff they're interested in rather than some abstract civic duty, assigned unpassionate work is how you build crap.

Yeah, and the hope is that AI will accelerate all of that, too.

It's a famous way to phrase rebuttals , famously political ones, and it's been used about a trillion times.

These mysteries and more are hidden in the article.

>Despite struggling with what she believed to be undiagnosed and unmedicated ADHD, which forced her to study harder and more methodically than other students,[40:41–43] she completed her UH-60 Blackhawk training at Fort Rucker, Alabama without major difficulties despite delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

War is one of the most high tech and technologically interesting things humans do, and is often the first place that truly state of the art abilities are showcased.

It's not hard for me to understand why techies would be so interested.

I don't think these kind of language struggles are as minor as you paint them, especially around regulation and law-making.

a well understood and unified spoken language is the keystone to a lot of human endeavor; even if the goal is a region without language barriers the bootstrap process towards that goal is accelerated by a common tongue.

seems like at that point it'd be a bigger benefit for LinkedIn to provide the one and only model trained to subvert the human capability to detect slop using that new negative corpus.

then we're all screwed I guess. lol

fine but please realize that also just pushes people away from caring about the comment section at all, too.

I can only read so many (either pro OR against) ".. IT'S AI! ! !" comments before skipping the thread. I can't be the only one.

you're right, but flipped on its' head it also means that a well-meaning FOSS project may not ship out a zero-day in the future that affects half the planet at once.

now we'll just always be vulnerable from different angles in different and unique ways across the globe.

better? well, no.. but it is different, and biology has offered tons of wisdom about why it's a good thing to achieve things different ways across the world, maybe some far-future version of this weird fragmentation of work that is happening now will contribute to some kind of herd effect that reduces the severity or magnitude of some bug or work of malice.

who knows though, i'm probably just considering it too positively. The disintegration of consolidated effort is a pita, I agree.

mentally I associate all that stuff with the punk/hardcore/post-punk thing rather than nazis anyway -- but all those groups were known for copying nazi aesthetic in a mocking tone.

pil, 7 seconds, dead kennedies, black flag, husker du, bad religion, bad brains, off, crass -- everyone in the 70s and 80s had a band logo that would've looked just fine on a red arm band.

thinking about it, kinda sucks the nazi got the branding and aesthetic permanently attributed to them , the punks have been employing it for way longer -- and I like them.

for high effort MCPs I see the reason. Big MCPs take major tokens to produce and test (if you're just telling an LLM to handle it) , it's nice if there is a high quality well tested thing out there to just plug into.

for things that are essentially a skill compendium, I see less reason..

5% of btc users use a hardware wallet and Cardkite wasn't even in the top 5 MFGs as far as i'm aware.

also as far as I care the btc community members who chose to go with one of the few hardware wallets that wasn't open source were not doing due their diligence.

>My guess is that the next phase is to revise history and form a consensus that Coldcard was never a recommended wallet and that it was obvious to everyone with good OPSEC at the time.

if that's a worry just search for things far before the exploit date; lots of unhappiness around cardkite for a while now -- but to be clear, it's nowhere near a revision.

>and its will confidently tell you it’s found the best setup when it’s only turned a few knobs.

on one hand , yeah : a model being more aggressive towards exploration of the decision space is usually a good thing.

on the other hand : I think that it's up to the operator to set rigid test criteria to make these things actually work well in a repeatable fashion.

so in other words, i'm glad claude is doing a better job for the way you're prompting the thing, but as a spectator from afar these kind of operator complaints usually spring up from the use of weak, ambiguous, under-considered prompts.

similar with the parents' complaint; there should have been a testing criteria for legible output that got immediately flagged or failed by the larger model.

it's a very hard sell for me to think that " a a a a a a a " is accepted as a valid language output by any near-SOTA-large model without some real coercion.

you don't really need screenshots if you have an engine expressive enough for the scene generation while ensuring the visual appearance of the engine output itself is feasible.

that's why these things are actually pretty good at openscad/freecad/F360 mcps , the visual reality is enforced and guaranteed by rigor in the interpretation engine that is anchored to human physical reality.

I didn't use the feature, so I don't know if it was capable of this, but the thing you describe sounds potentially useful for land developers or folks trying to conceptualize buildings/city-development.

the people who make those stupid renders of yet-to-be-built strip malls filled with people and live bands that they use to sell development plans to city commerce groups.

energy might be the wrong metric, plenty of energy was wasted spinning up that LLM.

the ambiguity of the belligerent in cyber warfare and the near free cost to entry will always be a benefit to people drumming up support against any group.

kind of thing where a third party investigatory group would be great if executed correctly -- although I haven't seen evidence of that being possible yet, either.

until then we're (and by we I mean any citizen of anyplace, anywhere) always going to be getting attacked by the target of the administration's ire (any administration), always.

I use local models like qwen to do refactoring; the code and concept already exist, they need refining.

I use sota models for concept, implementation plans, and initial deployment.

I find that local models can perform at a very high level if given a very strict environment and the already bounded rules of an existing code base.

aye aye aye.

people don't forego condoms in high income nations due to lack of access, distribution, cost, or stigma.

they make the experience measurably worse for a maybe insurance.

I don't know what fixes that reality other than (maybe?) mass-traumatizing youths with stories and photos of STI/HIV victims, essentially scaring them into wearing a rubber at the risk of scaring them out of sex entirely.

... which is why a vaccine sure would be nice.

cdw sells lot of diff key options, LTSC IoT used to be offered fairly reasonably, I don't know if they still do.

edit: replied to the wrong person, but leaving it here anyway, it's just about as visible I think.

>I realize the question assumes a major simplification that everyone's prompts/sessions are the same.

well, exactly.

that's tough to answer without just average sampling because some users will ask the model "what's todays date" or "what color is the sky?" and some users will ask "Let's rewrite the linux kernel in brainfuck."

`motion` is in the big hall of fame for 'software other things are based on' next to imagemagick and curl.

>There isn't a solar panel in the UK that will ever make more power than it took to produce.

You're clearly and provably wrong, and looking at your comments shows me lots of clearly and provably wrong statements, and almost every single one of them pertains to energy.

..so I presume you have a dog in this race.

windows 11 and LTSC aren't mutually exclusive.
