In the original its meaning is being part of a greater unit.

Claude seems to do this all the time. That, the empty words and the increased self initiative of claude were all reasons I decided to just use codex (now merged into GPT).

So you're saying that it depends whether you're measuring "success at task X" (where in average everyone improves) vs comparative success (where people with knowledge can do far an…

Yeah, a common problem in cognitive bias research...

The renting out is a pretty recent development.

While the misuse of the term monopoly is annoying, that's quite the misleading comment. You're allowed to disagree with what policy is a good idea, but laws like the linked do exis…

It sounds like you're focusing on the problems of running local models, or running models yourself, but I don't think that many people seriously expect near term improvement on tha…

While preserving problems is undoubtedly a natural incentive, I think Hanlon's razor applies here. Just today I was reading Competent Bureaucracy - Rebuilding State Capacity ( http…

Yeah, that's what bothered me when I read it, too.

Is this not about a separate class action lawsuit?

Not just instinct, I'd need to be able to justify the choice against any potential downside of not choosing the default option.

Marketing people like the features they're getting, and Google and Meta are dominant, so big that they're the default, in the same way that we talk about github being the default o…

Depends on exactly how the project is managed. Older python tooling (`pip` module) doesn't have a native mechanism to differentiate between the spec (direct dependencies) and freez…

Given it was older code, were you not able to use an older version of pysimplegui that was freely available?

In other words, the set of github core services has expanded because you don't use third party tooling for some of those services anymore.
