Are you also paying 8,000 employees [1] and funding massive infrastructure [2]? [1] https://www.makerstations.io/openai-employee-statistics/ [2] https://www.wheresyoured.at/oai_doc…

> The major AI labs are gross profitable when selling access to inference. Do you have a good source for this?

I'd really love to read an article that actually talks about how to survive in a Louisiana swamp. This article is written in the style that I find particularly tedious - long winde…

I recently had my account hacked - it was a pure lurker account, I only scrolled elephant videos and such, and never posted or did reactions or anything. Someone logged in to my ac…

I think (hope?) we will. Check out the New Luddite movement [1] [2] [1] https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/business/ai-luddite-movement-... [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Luddis…

Oh, some of us see a massive disruption coming, just maybe not in the way you think. Talented, experienced devs leaving the field out of disgust would be pretty disruptive. Crumbli…

Try keeping them in the light dom. Everything works like normal html + css, but you get all the benefits of reusability and encapsulated script logic. Lit-html (the library, not th…

A Business Associate (BA) under HIPAA is a entity that contracts with a Covered Entity (CE) using a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). OpenAI wouldn't be considered a BA unless th…

HIPAA only applies to data originating from a covered entity. It doesn't apply to information the patient supplies directly. As a patient, I can take out a street sign displaying m…

I love the aesthetic, and I really love that they implemented it as a web component library.

Losing your job, being "cancelled", publicly vilified and unhirable is not the same as being executed, so therefore we should dismiss it as a false equivalency?

LLMs are the tech in question, not ML (AI?) in general. LLMs are fundamentally limited by their architecture to only return a token predicted by a statistical inference, essentiall…

Alternatively, you can walk away from your career in disgust, taking your skills and experience with you, as many people are. Should be interesting to see what happens to the progr…

Richard Sutton apparently disagrees [1]. He argues that it's impossible for anything novel to come from a LLM. [1] https://youtu.be/kEbVTcncuX0?is=gEMe5zD9sXWD4ONy

That's like saying "there's no way to remove emotion from a conversation". Of course not, emotion is always present. But adults practice emotional regulation and work hard to preve…

I've been writing code since the 80s, professionally since the mid 90s, in almost every major language, platform and operating system, from 8 bit microcontrollers to large scale we…

Mattermost's licensing is a little confusing, but from what I understand, you're only really super-restricted if you use the prebuilt binaries (which have a different license than …

I can't find it, but I read an article somewhere that many "blue zones" also had grossly skewed metrics due to public benefits fraud - relatives weren't reporting the family member…

I think the genie gets put back in the bottle, at least partly. I don't think the future is massive data centers running at a staggering loss to generate questionable code. The fut…

I guess that means there will be at least two of us.
