I am not sure that is true. Japan remains closed to economy-saving immigration, Uyghurs have atrocities committed against them, several countries losing their collective minds due to social media-induced riots/panics.

Maybe Tibet and the GenZ revolution as a counterexample?

While technically correct for Western-aligned nations, not all governments are for the people and by the people.

They may be buying it, but is there any indication they are using it for consumer-facing stuff? I would suspect given the scale there are many different things. I wish I knew more about standardization for cloud data center workloads though

They own their hardware. That vertical integration alone probably saves oodles because they can reconfigure to their needs as opposed to individually negotiating data centre plans. I can't imagine the complexity both OpenAI and Anthropic have to maintain for their deployments.

I thought this research had already been done and published by Anthropic. https://www.anthropic.com/research/tracing-thoughts-language...

Dr. Raschka is wonderful. Great article.

I checked my data. It is either 100% wrong or misleading. Start and end dates, compensation amounts, benefits. Per the file, I've worked 4 years out of 20 in my career. As an employer I have never used them and I worry for any employer who does.

AI loopity. Where AI is used to generate unnecessary prose that others summarize via AI. This exacerbates lossy communication.

I feel like we need a good index for these kinds of specialized models, especially if you plan to open them up. The downside is a new bash version means potentially new training.

The companies are trying to force regulatory moats so that they become the preferred legal vendor.

Well done, and great iteration.

The pareto frontier needs clearer distinction. Benchmarks miss half the story. What, if any, capability is lost by the token reduction (for example, was it like super awesome at Golang before and now kind of sucks? that kind of distinction).

I'm actually loving it more and more, but the disconnect in docs is disconcerting. Try connecting a jurisdiction-bound bucket to their AI Search and can't read from it - and their docs suggest in some places it should be fine and in others it is not. Go to submit a bug report and it's extremely high cost load to get information, even a basic writeup, shared, requiring github account / public repo and more.

We are now on the Roko's Basilisk list

Totally fair.

Are they not just dogfooding here?

> it's a professional faux pas to question the design of a creative coworker when you may not know design better

Huh. I've been committing this professional faux pas for years without consequences. There are simply a lot of bad designers out there.

I'm not sure I agree with this particular point, but, the rest of your comment I wholeheartedly agree with.

We have fantastic presents that cannon't be ignoreable.

Something I think most people miss is that LVT doesn’t increase directly because of the improvements. If you build a coffee house, the building and equipment are excluded from the tax. It just applies to the underlying land value.

But a popular coffee house can make the surrounding area more desirable. If that increases what people will pay for locations there, land values rise. At the same tax rate, that means higher LVT for nearby sites, and, potentially the coffee house’s own site. Gentrification by other means.

In a lot of ways, it depends on what the comparative LVT base is. If its just blocks or streets nearby -- a single happening place can push the value up. Spread out to the census tract, the city, the county, and now you can toss more and more of hot coffee shops in the same place with minor impact to the tax base.

Thanks for trying to explain how owning land imposes an externality on others. I still don't see a clear case made, so I'm moving on. Have a good evening.

Then your land would likely be priced at the nominal amount per acre x 13 since the demand for that area is low and diffuse. Not a horrible outcome, and, could encourage you to make the land "productive" to at least cover the tax. Tree farms are lovely.

Eh, I get where you are coming from. However, you should accept it because the people with the social authority to coerce through guns or imprisonment require you to do so, instead of operating in a vacuum. Plus, land ownership makes for a much clearer system of institutions (which economists of all stripes agree are fundamental to prosperity).

Further, relaxing land ownership doesn't make current occupation an externality, which was the original claim. It's a categorical error to mix externalities with morals.

You could call a named range or ctrl+shift+enter to run an array command. You couldn't put a defined array in a single cell, it would read at text.

No, the DOD has super specific acquisition rulesets that don't apply outside the DOD umbrella. Limiting acquisition or refusing sales can be done without being flagged a risk. FedRAMP levels accomplish this without the political intrigue and the unnecessary defense of this action not being political.

In other words: the same outcome could easily be accomplished without being punitive to Anthropic.

Why not?

Who is litigating?
