This is the real reason the ultra rich are buying media companies. They expect the existing copyright laws to prevail in court and to either make significant revenue licensing IP for training or to take large stakes in AI companies in return for the IP.

Only data is a moat, not algos, not compute.

Of course they don't like it. CLAW makes the platform fungible and once that happens the magic by which their insane multiples of values exist bursts.

Eight hour estimated restoration time!

I only use the free tiers of any particular app. It forces you to really think about you want the tool to do as opposed to treating it as the 'easy' button.

There's nothing at all wrong with Wikipedia but it needs sources to cite since it doesn't allow original research and the World Factbook is an important one.

Duckdb is wonderful. I have several multi-TB pipelines that I moved over from spark and dask. It's so much easier to think in terms of knew machine that gets it's resources used efficiently instead of distributed/cloud processes. It even let me take some big data things back to on-prem from aws.

This kinda of article is exactly what the internet was made for. More of this, less AI

Probably never. The tunnels cost a lot to build but, once built run almost for free - they're powered by gravity and will keep running for close to a century before major maintained is needed.

It's a generalization problem. We can train LLMs that 'know' a lot of stuff in the global sense but the tasks that are interesting to people require the LLM to know a lot about you and your world in a very specific sense. The technical problem is that it's all corner cases and that's impossible to scale right now. No amount of context window is going to get you there either.

I'm really, really confused by the typescript overtaking python comment, they're not really tackling the same domain of problems, right?

The open question is if there is a sufficient number of down detectors where the system becomes turing complete

Because if there us a nursing shortage there is opportunity to 'supplement' existing nurses with AI and thus transfer more wealth to the very richest among us

Kitten Space Agency is looking like it will be the KSP2 we deserved but didn't get

With 90% reporting Mamdami's lead is larger then Sliwa + Cuomo. Mandami won, not Cuomo and Sliwa lost.

Does it work with osmium?

But it has to be _exactly_ a million to one

I mean yeah, it was kinda obvious that they busted an ad fraud sim farm but needed to pad that resume for the bosses. There's no glory in "just" fighting fraud right now.

The military postal code system is seperate from the US post office's zip code system. Often (and easily!) conflated but actually operating in parallel. Made even more confusing because many U.S. based entities can be reached in both systems.

Sometimes they're entire non geographic entities like the IRS

Harder to rent-seek with non-saas software

I've worked in 2 of those domains (I was a geographer at a web advertising company) and let me tell you, the data is only slightly better than the median industry and in the case of the geodata from apps I'd say it's far, far, far worse.

Jersey is another term for knitwear in English

Time to reinvent the Interurban https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interurban

Repeating what working women have been saying for decades

LLMs are getting better at spatial but still are quite bad at geospatial

The Volkswagon emissions testing model

Everything old is new again: The Light Railways Act of 1896 also propsed rail lines built to less then mainline standards (often narrow gauge) to get transport links to otherwise unconnected locations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Railways_Act_1896 comment edited because I fat finger editing the submit button

My favorite part of the app is the spectrogram - I'm not sure exactly why but seeing the songs has made learning which bird goes with which song so much easier.

Also a shout out here to Bird Song Hero: https://academy.allaboutbirds.org/bird-song-hero/

This is the feature I dislike most about my outback. Some systems just need buttons so you can operate without looking
