Bluestein··on National Association of Consumer Advocates vs. Polymarket et al.
"Vaca Daffan filed a lawsuit [...] in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on behalf of the National Association of Consumer Advocates against Blockratize, Inc. d/b/a Polymarket and related entities, as well as Shayne Coplan and Matthew Modabber. The complaint alleges that the defendants orchestrated a sweeping and flagrantly deceptive marketing campaign that lures Americans into risking real money while obscuring how likely people are to lose. The complaint also accuses the defendants of unfairly targeting college-aged individuals with manipulative ads for their platforms."

Bluestein··on ICE eyes spending up to $2M on Boston Dynamics robot dogs to up 'officer safety'
The images of the next - and, there will be a 'next' - ICE abuse, involving these, will be dystopían.-
Bluestein··on The ArtQrCode a twist on the classic black and white Quick Response Code
They seem borderline compliant. Rather than function, seems to me the artists have bent the aesthetic of digital/QR "into" the artwork, with that as priority rather than the other way around, like it's usually done (trying to arrange QR components artistically).-

You mispelled "contributor," sir.-

Bluestein··on GLM-5.3-Flash
Hey, I can at least say you will get more value (or, at least more predictable value) from a Dacia than from Anthropic's tokens: "Upgrade to [SUPER DUPER] for 5x the [TOKEN-SERF PACKAGE] token use!"

Actual net work doable with/intelligence supplied by the [TOKEN-SERF PACKAGE]: Unknown. Fluctuating.-

That's a caveat, and a real one.-

Yeah, yeah. BUT, will the Sandero be ... load-bearing? :)
Bluestein··on GLM-5.3-Flash
Of course the release was not coincidental - with the earnings days - I am sure.-
Bluestein··on GLM-5.3-Flash
They even give this over the API now:

│ https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions model: stealth/ox-alpha auth: OPENROUTER_API_KEY status: 404 Not Found response: {"error":{"message":"Thank you for participating in the Stealth Ox Alpha testing period. This model was ZAI's GLM-5.3 Flash.

│ Use it now: https://openrouter.ai/z-ai/glm-5.3-flash","code":404},"user_...":"}

Bluestein··on GLM-5.3-Flash
This is the takeaway here: That's how they have been serving it at scale as Ox-Alpha. This is a definitional moment.-

Further quote:

"Compared with our initial baseline on the same hardware, we achieved a 3× improvement in end-to-end serving performance, reaching hardware efficiency and per-token cost comparable to mainstream NVIDIA GPUs. This demonstrates that Chinese chips can support frontier-model inference efficiently and economically at scale."

Look, it don't always have to be "original" to be interesting. That said, seems the combination of AI use and the subject matter is hitting folks the wrong way. That's fine.-
Bluestein··on Nobody Wants Artisanal Code Anymore
It is very obviously AI ... assisted, to whatever degree. Still, makes valid points methinks.-

I really, honestly think the writeup goes beyond the headline and is well worth the read and the time.-
Bluestein··on Dolly Parton has died
You know how, sometimes, you downright think "that is impossible!", with certain people, when you hear of their death. And then, of course, you realize ...

Bluestein··on HelloAssembly: The smallest possible complete Windows application (2021)
You know? FOR ONE expression our current neuralese-spewing friends could standarize on - I'd not mind this one (and the ilk) becoming "load-bearing", again.-

PS. Honest take :)
