Accounting for inflation the 2026 budget is 2 Billion less than the 2016 budget.

yeah I'm sure Jason is just fine with that.

The option is you have to buy another machine. There are mac ec2 instances and several mac cloud hosts that all would abuse this if they could, instead to stay compliant they buy more machines.

Okay post a really funny LLM joke about potatoes and post a great piece of LLM poetry about lemons.

I’ll wait. You should be able to do it quickly though since LLMs are so good at it.

AI training

That’s just so you don’t sue the over your lost dog

No the US government does that. He just takes the money taxpayers gave the government to blow people up with, and unlike the other defense contractors, also indirectly finances the production of gameboys with some of the money. The idea that giving money to ModRetro finances arms is essentially backwards from how money actually flows.

Most people using LLMs wouldn’t even know you could tell it not to produce emoji. You are thinking about this like a coder not like a doctor.

I don’t disagree but your comment made it sound impossible which it isn’t.

Radon is radioactive. The alpha particles it emits can break down polymers and degrade plastics.

This article existing at all is a bit suspicious IMO

Some pretty spooky comments in this thread from accounts with pretty low comment histories too…

Yes this seems more about protecting them from a lawsuit. I don’t think they actually give a shit about the weights or they wouldn’t release them at all. I suspect they just know they’re training dataset isn’t perfectly “clean” and don’t want to accept any more liability than they already have.

I think there is definable a connection between cannabis use and auto accidents. It slows your reaction time and that’s a known factor with accidents. That said, substance use data is notoriously underreported[1] in surveys. So that 20% data point is not very helpful. Also 12-15 year olds are bringing that number down in your data and also can’t drive making it even less useful for comparison.

They are too big to fail but they aren’t too big to have to pay out a huge settlement. Facebook annual revenue is about it twice that of the entire global recording industry. The strategy these companies took was probably correct but that calculation included the high risk of ultimately having to pay out down the line. Don’t mistake their current resistance to paying for an internal belief they never will have to.

The metadata is probably more useful than the music files themselves arguably

True but What.cd had a tremendous amount of notable music not available on Spotify though because it was also sourced from cds, bootlegs, vinyl, tape etc whereas Spotify only includes music explicitly licensed for streaming.

It’s so stupid but what I do is click forward which reveals the email in the compose window.

David Ellison was an intern at Pixar in college and has a personal relationship with Lasseter. Annapurna games was under his sister and has no management connection to Skydance.

I guess if there is any common denominator it’s a familial default to loyalty vs fear of public perception? Not the worst trait in the world despite leading to this outcome.

Also to be fair Lasseter’s “serial harassment” (while real and I’m not trying to discount) consisted of his insistence that everyone hug him when greeting him. So while you can make the argument his firing had merit, his ”issue” is pretty easy to prevent at a new firm: No hugs policy

That’s not correct. Paramount wants everything (including the parts Netflix wants). Netflix wants just tv and movie studio. So the paramount hostile bid would be for the part Netflix wants and the part they don’t.

It’s all one entity with subsidiaries for tv and movies, etc.

I was skeptical about Waymo but then I had the opportunity to ride a Waymo and an Uber the same day. The Waymo trip was uneventful but the uber driver drifted into oncoming traffic then jerked the wheel back and said “whoah,” when I alerted him.

It made me realize that even though Waymo is not at level 5 yet, neither are a lot of Uber drivers…

Minions do use Maya though to be fair.

I find it useful in Broadcast Video Production (that’s where I end up using it most) and yeah with Wifi7 supporting > gigabit speeds I’ve seen some Wireless Access Points supporting it (though 2.5GbE Poe++ is more common there and practically speaking enough)

I completely avoid passive PoE. Not worth the risk. On the standardized active stuff I’ve never had any issues even when I’ve plugged it broken cables to unpowered devices.

As of 802.3bt (PoE++) the standard includes support for “all standardized copper link speeds of up to 10GBASE-T.” The previous standard 802.3at (PoE+) added gigabit support.

So any 10GbE (and 2.5GbE) PoE/PoE+ devices out there are technically not to spec (lots of these on Ali Express) but I believe the the Ubiquiti 10GbE stuff is all at least PoE++. [1]

(They do have their own non spec labeled PoE+++ products though, which are really just “802.3bt Type 4” but they added another plus because that probably sounded better.) [2]

Right and that’s what satisfactory means, the condition was satisfied.

So if they will always still pay at 30% higher then why not set the price another 30% higher after that and keep going again and again?

Except that so far results have shown that it does lead to a net increase in signups:

That’s just a movie trailer. The film is not available outside theaters.
