The fact that people have lived and worked near data centres for decades and didn't even know what the term meant - let alone be adversely impacted by them - probably indicates the…

I just want to say thank you. I've bought most of your games and they scratch an itch for me that few things in life do. I really appreciate it!

It's been pretty common in the past for tech companies to announce outages and quick updates about them on twitter for decades. I'm sure their status page etc will be updated soon,…

> No they weren't. They were a gimmick - it is only in the past 6 or so months that frontier models have started to do stuff beyond mere gimmicks when it comes to coding This is si…

Maybe. The use cases people primarily use LLMs for (documents, coding, design, research) existed decades ago with different tooling. Who knows if the future will have a slew of new…

> And stop acting like some dog shit 8B model the average Joe can run on a laptop is even close to being comparable to what Claude or even Codex can currently do. I'm not, you've a…

Is that true? It feels wrong. Consumer grade SSDs and spinning disks are unlikely to be the products used in enterprise.

I suspect the type of person who is even aware of this 4GB blob is the type of person who would research its usage. Pretty high venn diagram crossover.

Can you explain for the billions of the rest of us why this is the "most stressful time of the year" for the group you're referencing? I assume that's American students and/or teac…

All these articles listing the American schools affected, "nationwide" outage reported, meanwhile hundreds of millions in the rest of the world affected. Does anyone have a list of…

Completely agree. How is it possible they issued these permits (years ago it seems) without having this infrastructure in place?

Maybe, but I can see why people don't want to deal with red tape to do someone a favour. Once I tried to help an open source project with a bug and was rejected because I didn't ag…

What are you basing that on? I'm usually pretty good at sniffing out AI writing, and it smells human to me.

The author quite clearly outlines their reasoning for this in the article: > Carrot Disclosure, dangling a metaphorical carrot in front of the vendor to incentivise change. The mai…

I haven't used any of the things you mentioned (except for an iPad) for a decade or so, but I can assure you they were all awful then compared to my experience years earlier with t…

For the record, I have seen every one of those in cloud based hosting multiple times. None of those issues require special work any more than they do than in traditional hosting.

What you say?

Where in that link are instructions provided for someone to use it without a mobile phone? I see instructions for calling, but that still requires a mobile phone (or if we're being…

Most of the world aren't American and we can afford our legal systems ;).

Don't pay and when you get a fine take them to court and state you don't have a bank card. There's jo wat a council can legally require you to enter into an agreement with a bank t…
