I know paralegals already love large language models.

The whole point of the demand letter isn't the three paragraphs, it's what goes above the addressee part - the legal office letterhead. That's what you're really paying for.

Dude - Sarah M., David R. and John Q. loved it. That's enough for me

I hope it pushes Nvidia to hobble less of the consumer grade offerings for AI/inference.

Part of this recent selloff is going to be the bubble popping effect, but it's clear that inference will be the main demand driver, and that's something where ddr5 is competitive.

"yesterday's news" - haha. always towing the Moscow line, aren't ya Vik?

Go back to Russia (Polagaya, chto tak ne svjazan v Glavset, kak horoshij pes, kotoryj ty est'.)

The amount of "whataboutism" and bothsidism when it comes to the comment section of any Western outlet (here included) is pretty wild. I would say this 2 month old account you're replying to is a great example of the typical output of such accounts.

It's good to support free speech, but this is not a case where free speech is being limited.

What we have here is bots utilizing platforms with a specific aim. In this case, it's a specific comment plugin (Disqus) on specific government-related site (RT.com) that's being used to facilitate a firehose of propaganda.

As Garry Kasparov says: "The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth."

It sort of is, though. For this Ukrainian war, it's plain to see how they've turned the hose of misinformation on full blast. There's no reason for a company that wants to be in good standing to support that. Youtube has already cut ties with them.

And political posts and comments on HN are everywhere, with little ability to report misinformation and blatant influence campaigns, so maybe you should start looking for that next place.

Just to add - Putin defers action on the other neighbors rather than ignores. He'd be happy to weaken them internally or via disinfo campaigns.

Bigger fish to fry at the moment in his USSR2.0 drive.

>> 6 month old account, 90% comments some sort of Russian great state content.

Does YCombinator ban trolls, these days?

You should just declare your bot as a user-agent. Most publishers won't even bother to do it, but leaving a publisher an option is the correct etiquette for any bot. Random user agents is cloaked scraping.

@AwkwardPanda

And how does a site opt out of your scraping? Do you have a unique user-agent when you scrape? A set of IPs?

We're considering the angle of an app whose sole purpose is to capture the valuable IP of an author and remove their ability to monetize it.

It's not like they're paying them via some publisher program, just pure scraping and re-organizing.

Hey Vitya, we were wondering -- do you actually work at one of those famous troll farms, or are your HN comments just an after-hours gig?

Reminds me of a story from Ursula Le Guin's Changing Planes short story collection - Porridge on Islac.

>>It's also completely possible (and this is my belief) that he eventually drunk his own Kool-Aid and came to genuinely believe that Facebook really was about making the world a better place by connecting people.

Possible is one thing, but there's no chance anyone with a micron of common sense could believe in that marketing tag line.

Facebook was a better, "cleaner looking" social network in an era of MySpaces, that's all.

The user profiling and data collection is the essential part to building audience demographics for better targeting ads, which they needed to compete with Google's PPC domination.

They did the same thing after acquiring LaLa (A great cloud music site they shuttered in 2010)

Immediately thought of mobynow/mobypicture...
