Because at the moment they have basically infinite money and it's almost always faster to throw hardware at the problem than optimizing the solution, given infinite money.

Oh this is so good! Like the "20 policemen hurt in riots", where the damage they received is a wrist aching due to beating people too hard.

Indeed they are tools. But if people/companies treat them as tools that can take a problem a human used to solve, and make them solve it from start to end, then the comparison begins to be necessary.

7800€ for a MacBook Pro M5 Max with 128GB RAM, right now. Insane.

Indeed. Back in the day he would have been classified as "PUA" /s

I mean, when the figures are 60%-40% you (generic you) can totally use any of them to make a point about "regular folks" because the absolute number is already so big to have a weight behind.

And going back to the original topic, these figures should help us realize two things that are both true:

1. a big part of the population is gaining from the gas price raising via funds growth.

2. a big part of the population, the one with less resources already, just pay the consequences of the gas raises because they don't own funds at all, so they cannot reap any growth there.

It would also be interesting to see the content of the email initially sent to IANA

> Depends on how you define "regular folk".

> 40% of American adults don't have any retirement savings account at all.

So, 60% have, 60% is more than half, so it takes the value of "regular folk". Ah, statistics.

If I lived under a rock, I would consider there was some mild protest near the Congress that day.

If you were obsessed with cinema and films, chances are you were already adjacent enough to the internet to blog about it. If you were obsessed with woodworking, probably you needed to wait for the smartphones and YT boom.

Wrong. They will be totally blamed. And the pushback will be that management forced me to use AI and go fast. Then, management will be the one NOT being blamed for this.

This is going to sound like I'm over generalizing and maybe even a bit... racist? and I already apologize for it, it's not my intention. I hope I can pass the actual message I'm trying to pass. So, let's go.

Doesn't Finland, like the other Nordic countries, have a long history of alcohol abuse and pushing against it (like, with draconian prices)? Isn't maybe just that policy "winning"? Also, couldn't this be yet another case where the Nordic are seen as "one step beyond" the rest like it was the case when fully digitalizing schools, only then to backpedal realizing it's not all so good and there are drawbacks that were not considered?

I say this to connect with the second part of your post, to which I fully agree: alcohol is not generally good for health and it can be abused but also small quantities here and there won't probably hurt you in a serious way and will give some social benefits like the ones you mentioned. (and the same applied to other light drugs as well!)

Well, https://www.tonic.to/ is still online and working today. Don't know if it's still owned by OP.

If you don't really trust the author, what's a checksum going to provide you? That the maybe malicious code released on GH has not been tampered with? Not so helpful.

You are correct, but in this scenario reducing the number of available qualities to cover the most reasonable use cases would be the right tradeoff.

> Imagine spending your life on that

Well, there are people that actually like work in the marketing space. As scary as it sounds.

And this is exactly what Dario wants.

But it's still bad as fuck, deplorable, despicable and many others adjectives. And it doesn't change GP point, even if the patent sucks at being a patent.

I live in a European country as well (Spain) and there are probably in the order of 10+ railways incidents per year causing serious issues to mobility due to copper theft. Buy yet, the old copper phone lines are still there...

This kind of opinion has been around for about 10 months now already, since Opus 4.5 and Claude Code initial release. It just shifts alongside models.

Isn't the other way round? It does not mean that breaking one is easy, but it does mean that writing one that's unbreakable it's very, very, very difficult.

A Linux computer is so many things and also nothing at the same time that's is basically impossible that one or N AI company can impose you something like Apple, Microsoft or Google can.

With that said, also or instead using *BSD won't do any harm.

Ah you just need to run a local model...

> so Meta is enforcing a broad ban to ensure they comply.

No. Meta enforces a broad ban because they don't want EU to regulate them, so they drag their feet and create the most possible "unwanted collateral damage" so people will get upset at the regulation instead of the company. So, pieces like this from The Guardian are surely needed.

But you cannot train an open weight model by yourself, and maybe there could some distributed training net ran by thousand of volunteers around the world in the future, but until we get there we will still be tied to BigCo (American, Chinese or wherever in the world) decisions.

> We used to have the equivalent of "spikes" and people still drove a lot,

No, we did not. The point of that example is to put a literal spike in the driving wheel, so the driver recognizes a very well known, immediate life-threatening device a few inches from their body. This would act as a deterrent to go fast, because they would be the one certainly dying in basically any case outside smooth driving.

I've shared with non-tech people a few accesses with TOTP codes and it's just a WhatsApp message away "hey dad, enter 12345 when asked".

Aaah, that's why it was called zmodem!

This is the epitome of the "blame the victim" culture.

>This is solved by passkey-implementing software and devices (with Bluetooth) allowing you to log in with a QR code (Webauthn via CTAP hybrid transport).

Ok but how do I share my Netflix or Spotify accounts for example with those?
