I assume NBC has distribution deals with a handful of channels who air SNL in their respective countries.

And most of the countries on this list probably fall under some French channel’s domain since they are dependencies (edit: or former colonies).

No, according to the NYT article it is because a journalist behind this anon twitter account signal-boosted this:

> The controversy grew out of accusations from a little-followed, anonymous social media account, which a columnist at Le Figaro, a conservative daily newspaper, later revealed he partly ran.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/world/europe/thelyson-ore...

This story smells odd; why does anybody care about the accusations of an anonymous twitter account? A claim seemingly without evidence no less.

Having now read the contract, would you have accepted it or not?

In other words, if Claude was a human employee with the freedom to do so, would accepting the contract have been the right choice?

Airplanes are not a species, and it’s facetious to compare boarding a flight (which requires thousands of human hours to make sure you arrive safely) to humans who walk where their dog guides them.

The statement I quoted said “zero examples of intelligent species” doing something. It took me 2 seconds to think of a counterexample. At the very least it was poorly phrased, if not altogether wrong. Moreover, whether or not people are doing it voluntarily is orthogonal to the statement.

I agree with the gist of the article, but having such a *BOLD:* _False Statement_ does not do it any favors.

> OBSERVATION: There are zero examples of any intelligent species which is vastly more capable than another species, yet surrenders decision-making control over its own future to the less-capable species.

Many people ceed control of their path-finding to seeing-eye-dogs.

Yes, but note that there are two claims in the article:

1) gross margins are 80% w/o revenue sharing.

2) gross margins are positive w/ revenue sharing.

So that means Anthropic is making money on every token, and customers are willing to pay 80% margins (some of which might go to e.g. Bedrock to serve the model).

> We propose miles per hour (MPH), distance travelled per unit of time

Stupid metric. It‘s not because you spend more time that you travel farther.

iOS 26 made my phone unusable!

I am still rocking an iPhone 11 Pro Max and even after replacing the battery ~1 year ago, every page load in Safari would take +20 seconds (Chrome was still fast) and opening / closing any app took ~1 second.

iOS 27 has fixed all of it, it feels snappy again!

> Anthropic has told shareholders that its adjusted operating income will be positive for a second straight quarter, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing multiple people with knowledge of the matter.

Note this claim is about „operating profit“, which commonly is the revenue - operating expenses (COGS, rent, payroll). This does not include RnD cost.

>Anthropic's gross margins are above 80% before accounting for revenue shared with distribution partners, including Amazon (AMZN.O), and the cost of training its model, the newspaper said.

Gross margin is typically (revenue - COGS) / revenue. Thus, both statements above seem generally in line with commonly accepted accounting standards.

Without looking it up and doing the math, I bet GB300 has higher Tflops and memory bandwidth, especially when used with e.g. NVFP4.

Not the poster, but maybe I can help.

Your comment is a little unclear, so it‘s hard to parse your exact question. But it seems you are conflating 3 things, PyTorch, RL and Gym/Training (?).

– PyTorch is a framework which lets you define neural network models.

– RL is a collection of methods to train neural networks (change the network parameters to improve its performance).

– An RL-Gym is a framework to apply the neural networks to some problem. This lets you collect the data necessary to later use the methods of RL to train your model.

The fella that was crotch-chopping on smackdown?

As long as there is more than one substitute, the prices are not set to equal value. (edit: assuming optimal pricing strat.)

I strongly suspect that is way above the human average anyway, esp. ARC 2 and 3 are really tough unless you happen to be great at those spacial puzzles or video games.

How is this a tangential annoyance or a generic tangent?

> Meta announces they have a new model, demonstrating its capabilities.

> Parent comment states „regardless of this model‘s specific capabilities, if I can avoid it I will.“

Sorry what is the punch-line here supposed to be? These investments obviously increase correlation coeffs., but these are highly correlated stocks to begin with.

The analogy can be dragged one step further: once the engine is good enough, it’s functionally impractical for a human to play.

OAI and ANT are private, so I sure haven‘t seen their books.

Exactly. Say on average people take 2 weeks / 16 week off in that period, thats 12% traffic right there.

And smarter people than me can probably find some extra-linear relationship between usage and required limits for uptime etc.

I wonder if this promotion was because of the summer holidays.

Unclear whether this is due to environment (grew up with no sugar) or genetics (parent‘s genes induced no sugar craving -> you have no craving).

> You can think of Q collar as a baby version of health scams promoted by wealthy and powerful medical-adjacent celebrities such as Dr. Oz, Andrew Huberman, and RFK Jr.

This sentence does not imply that Huberman has endorsed this product.

Hijacking this comment to ask about Huberman, can he really be lumped in with the other two in that list?

I listen to his podcast for a while and stopped when I realized most of what he is talking about is marginal stuff or ”new research suggests”, which I found less interesting.

But has he really ever been a grifter selling complete bunk? Not talking about the ad-segments, which are of course payed endorsements.

You didn’t even read the example you’re referencing.

Right now the bottle neck is not the CPU, so people aren‘t spending big $ on them. But with this ultra fast mode, CPU becomes a bigger part of the bottleneck and thus Intel and AMD can charge more $$$.

Ozempic is the poster boy for peptides.

Well obviously it's more prevalent. But you don't know what the prevalence would have been had Mars bars not shrunk, ie it could have been worse.

Not that I actually believe that Mars bar size had any meaningful effect, but your rhetorical question is nonsensical.

No, this uses a feature of the macOS file system. From the FAQ:

> Q: Are clone files the same thing as symbolic links or hard links?

> A: No. Symbolic links (“symlinks”) and hard links are ways to make two entries in the file system that share the same data. This might sound like the same thing as the space-saving clones used by Hyperspace, but there’s one important difference. With symlinks and hard links, a change to one of the files affects all the files.

> The space-saving clones made by Hyperspace are different. Changes to one clone file do not affect other files. Cloned files should look and behave exactly the same as they did before they were converted into clones.

I like the analogy the author draws.

But so much of the AI capability discussion can be avoided once everyone understands that a) There is some multivariate supply and demand market for software and b) AI is shifting the supply curve of software.

The shift is uneven, not perfectly monotonic, and might actually result in shifts in the demand curve (as e.g. 10x seniors get more valuable).

This insight makes it easier to see the forest despite the trees.
