Market failure! Market failure is the term you're looking for. Also see: childcare, healthcare, many forms of public transport and social infrastructure. Some things markets simply…

Evidence of what?

I wish I shared your optimism. For the sake of the accused, I hope you're right, but I could see them really doubling down on this.

Oh, I 100% agree. I'm imagining the case where someone asks an LLM to do trivial things just for the novelty, or because they are fatigued of thinking + typing, but conceptualise t…

Based on the way they live-tweeted (as it were) their rewrite and their other publicity stunts? Yes, actually.

> Perhaps all this activity is paying down some of that debt. Perhaps. But were that the case, one would think they'd be quite eager to say so.

I did suspect that the triumphalist pronouncements, and even the seemingly honest and forthright deep dive, were a little premature. This is a key problem with LLM exuberance: it's…

I don't know that this starts with LLMs, though LLMs are certainly--at least for some people--a way to take their ADHD tendencies further. It's been obvious to me even since I was …

Yes, but we have far fewer reasons to think otherwise, since we don't know anything--if you're talking about Americans.

Hard to say. Advertisements have at least a pretense of persuasive intent. Propaganda mostly operates in the absence of contrary information.

> There is way too many mixed marriages etc. for any reasonable Russian to believe that their formerly-closest East Slavic neighbour has turned into a Fourth Reich. Exactly. The di…

Recognising that there is propaganda != being deeply savvy about what the propaganda is. However, I've found it to be an article of faith in America that the US just doesn't engage…

As a Russian, I deeply appreciate this. In Russia, it seemed obvious to even the most parochial peasant that there was propaganda, while in America, the vast majority of the societ…

I have an MBP M4 Max 128 GB and have encountered these very limitations, though many are averted by using Qwen3.6-35B-A3B. I'm also not sure there's a magical harness out there tha…

Oh, okay. Didn't know that, as I haven't tried K3 myself -- I'm quite content with Kimi K2.7-Code for the moment, which OpenRouter serves me to via US-based inference providers. Su…

Try the OpenRouter route! https://openrouter.ai/moonshotai/kimi-k3

I just pay metered usage via OpenRouter. I've spent no more than $10-$20/mo, but my usage is, by the standards of so-called "agentic coding" these days, very light and confined. I …

Yeah, but the trillion dollars are not concentrated in the Linux kernel project, but instead distributed all over the planet. That's not how the AI lab economy works.

I've been using Kimi for coding tasks for close to six months now, and haven't looked back. I'll periodically try something on Claude to make sure I'm not missing anything, but I'v…

Thank you! This looks like it might be the ticket.

Hey, there has to be a legitimate use-case somewhere. Thank you!

Does it?

You would think it would be that straightforward. However, accurate synchronisation on GPS or temporal attributes would be required. Judging by the paucity of software to do this, …

As a cyclist (and former racer), I still want to know how to capture videos with telemetry overlays (speed, power, HR, etc) from my head unit in a straightforward way. NorCal Cycli…

My use of "worldly knowledge" might have been sloppy. I really meant "real-time worldly knowledge". The American chatbot apps are just very polished on live web search and tool use…
