I agree- I also dont think OS features of the kind that get shipped in these updates are convincing anyone to switch from pc to mac or upgrade their mac sooner. Tons of stuff just …

I think the truth is most printed copies of books are rarely read even once, so the idea of preserving them is noble but realistically not that important. And may be outweighed by …

Could you explain what you mean by this? I thought all of their insane profitability and returns are from crazy margins on their GPUs. I know they started/partnered/invested in som…

The gpu inference happens on anthropics side, but the output of the gpu inference is often many local tool calls. The agent is locally reading files, writing files, compiling progr…

Can't a democracy vote and agree to kill innocent people abroad? Not sure those things are discordant.

Last I checked they still do exactly that. Not sure why that case is used as an example when literally every OS bundles a preferred browser

now imagine a bus, but its smaller and private only for you. for me that is true freedom! not only can you hop in as drunk as you want, and fall asleep, but you can also control th…

I asked claude to crawl the website and summarize its findings, took about 10minutes. I'm not sure I would've done it faster, but i have no doubt you couldve done it in 5, and grok…

This is a great analogy. Like driving on the freeway, agents are super time efficient, generally safe, but the stakes are high in terms of the worse possible outcomes.

I’m just a swe, but I kinda thought cyber is a good place to be, since the proliferation of insecure vibecoded apps.

I think in the case of supply-constrained GPUs, you can get the opposite of a volume discount. Google has the most capacity of anyone, the fact they’re paying so much per month to …

I think it depends. Plenty of salaried workers are truly only on the clock when on-site from 9-5

I appreciate the mention of relevant and recent regulation proposals that may affect how future events like this are handled. I understand it did not cause this event but appreciat…

I dont know if trade sanctions counts as "sabotage" but point taken.

Saying “ban social media” is a lot like saying to solve lung cancer we must “ban cigarette lighters” when lighters are actually quite useful outside of smoking cigarettes and banni…

What exactly would you like banned and how would you define what should be banned and what shouldn’t? I assume you want FB and Insta banned. What about Reddit? YouTube? Hacker news…

I've hit my claude quota and felt a scary helplessness - but honestly, what if someone took away the toy that is the internet? or the toy that is npm or the toy that is AWS, or the…

may i ask what number theory breakthrough you refer to? i suspect computing in general or perhaps something more specific?

Whats lost on this thread is these caches are in very tight supply - they are literally on the GPUs running inference. the GPUs must load all the tokens in the conversation (expens…

Yeah there are almost certainly times when it is gen ai and you just didn’t notice.

No. Running a red light is when your possession crosses an intersection while the light is red, and should apply to the registered owner.

Does Google have a better track record when it comes to arbitrarily locking people out of their digital lives?

Does SD1.5 suffer from resolution / coherence / complexity issues? I understand most outputs could be fine tuned for most domains, but still felt sd1.5 had a resolution ceiling, an…
