Remember the story of Nero watching Rome burn, and asking how could he and everyone involved be so fool? Well I'm not surprised any more. Feels like a perfectly believable story :/

To clarify, AI investment has contributed more to GDP GROWTH than consumer spending.

So they are talking about changes not levels.

In what sense?

FWIF, pretty sure the Pentagon now orders from further away in Arlington or Alexandria.

No they are not. I've asked that question to quite a few well-published economists studying innovation and the off-the-record answer is always:

> Patents are an extremely noisy and biased measure of innovation; conflate innovation with a million other variables, etc. but we have all of the patents and patent applications available for free since the beginning of the time, so that's what we'll use. If you find another good measure as comprehensive let us know and we'll use that instead; meanwhile <shrug emoji>

TBF the College Parks location is by far the most important one; the most visited one; and the one that holds the most interesting stuff. Never met anyone who went to the Kansas one or whatever

Had no idea... always thought Vertex was just a way to do enterprise offering!

I wish! The tier-based limits are still the same!

At least it's more expensive now so I guess I will be able to hop to the next tier sooner? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck using 2.5 for anything non-trivial.

I have about 500,000 news articles I am parsing. OpenAI models work well but found Gemini had fewer mistakes.

Problem is; they give me a terrible 10k RPD limit. To increase to the next tier, they then require a minimum amount of spending but I can't reach that amount even when maxing the RPD limit for multiple days in a row.

I emailed them twice and completed their forms but everyone knows how this works. So now I'm back at OpenAI, with a model with a bit more mistakes but that won't 403 me after half an hour of using it due to their limits.

Is there any way to fix it within Android? damn...

Any sense on how PDF.js compares against other tools such as pdfminer?

LOL at the Emoluments Clause

You really don't need many users to flag a post. Get five users constantly flagging anything that makes Trump look bad (and a complicit mod that doesn't undo this) and that's all you need.

It would be really interesting to see the list of people who flag these news. At this point, I mostly browse HN by clicking on COMMENTS so I can see the actual stories that got flagged (that always have to do about democracy being eroded by Trump)

Any advice? Figured maintenance would be annoying (utilities, making sure things that break down get fixed, etc).

Also, did you go for a big bank (Santander BBVA etc) or smaller one?

Gracias!

By any chance, would it be possible to share the PDF? I haven't heard shipibo language in a long while, and am quite curious about it.

Just file a complaint with the CFPB. They are incredibly useful and will contact Stripe directly and basically be your onbudsman.

This will probably get flagged, but if you read this, spent a few minutes trying to understand the gravity of this specific EO. Every federal employee even in independent agents must and will jump when Trump says so. Even if he asks them to do something illegal (close the congress! Jail a democrat!), they must follow his orders. Because HIS interpretation of the law cannot be superseded.

Because people in independent agencies are by act protected from exactly these things. Think for a bit, why were they not just called "agencies"?

And for all the stupidity of congress, if the fail to protect against a self-coup, that doesn't make it any less likely.

The Saudis, Softbank, Thiel, or maybe some banks or private capital lenders trying to ingratiate with Musk et al?

This is what ChatGPT "thought" about your comment:

``` - Misses the point of the original comment. - Overly pedantic instead of engaging with the sentiment. - Unclear analogy (PRC as a continuation of the Shang Dynasty). - Appears detached from social norms—not recognizing the rhetorical nature of the discussion. - Ultimately, basementcat's response likely seemed out of place and frustratingly abstract, making it easy to dismiss as nonsensical. ```

But like, for real, thinking that "ROME" still exists now makes zero sense.

Agreed. Why so many heli's to McClean? Are they just too stingy to pay the I66 toll in the afternoon?

This is crazy. Why would Spain or Colombia have to see Gulf of USA together with the actual name?

Being in academia (or very adjacent to it), there are two types of BlueSky users:

1) The ones that moved because of ideological reasons 2) The ones that moved b/c Twitter became a desolate hellscape.

I'm closer to (2) than to (1), and the difference between 2024 and 2020-2022 twitter is stark. Before, if you had an interesting tweet about a new article you would get lots of engagement (retweets, discussions, people disagreeing and pushing back).

Now? Nothing, just a few random retweets or comments from non-academic people that almost feel LLM-generated. Compound this with network effects, and even my right-wing pro-Trump colleagues (and there are some) decided to at the very least dual-post.

It's SK. Pilots are just ex air force guys, all Korean ethnicity

Because if CEOs and billionaires can't feel safe, then what's the purpose of having all that money?

Also, there are a myriad of channels on which $$$ people can donate to police departments (nycpolicefoundation.org https://gothamist.com/news/5-facts-about-new-nypd-commission... etc), but poorer people are not going to do that, so why bother spending as many resources?

Any suggested customizations or additional extensions? I use FF at the office but mostly Chrome at home, and the transition might be a bit painful.

Lol those cyclists surely looked terrified

BTW, which algo did you use to classify sentiment? bert or something related?

So sad that Blackstone bought ancestry.. newspapers.com is a really nice tool for researchers (and most things that get touched by PE end up enshittified)
