And all those consoles (save the Switch maybe) are heavily subsidized by those companies to compete at that artificial price point.

According to LTT Valve made the conscious decision NOT to subsidize the Steam Machine to let the market compete. I very much respect that and will be willing to pay the premium because of that and:

- using my purchase to vote for/encourage the growth of the Linux ecosystem.

- as a PC gamer I'm already highly invested in the Steam platform with all of my other gaming purchases.

The comment you are replying to is correct. The Soviet Union had massive amounts of resources and capital (both human and economic) to be able to develop and support technical innovations. The wider-Soviet bloc itself was of such a scale as to be able to completely support their own divergent technologies and innovations. The higher education systems themselves were sufficient to provide and foster the talent, even if they were overly-politicized.

Of issue, especially as time went on, was the overly-centralized nature of national resource and economic strategy and planning. Especially ESPECIALLY constraining was the dual-circuit monetary system of its economy, which literally prevented half of its "capital" to follow innovation or market forces outside of centralized allocation.

I highly recommend the book Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union by Vladislav Zubok

I've used each one of these in the past week with complete strangers, in neutral-to-unfamiliar surroundings, in passing, and the most hostile reaction I've gotten is "hahaha, I know right?" :)

Despite working at a terrible school

Literally zero need for that; none. And it's that kind of language that calls into question the authors motives. I went from "Excellent reporting here" to "This guy is emotional and not a reliable source of information" in 6 words.

Apparently it was video clips originally posted, but it seems like posting unpublished(?) copy of any type can fall under DMCA, which I guess makes sense.

-> [HBO Lawyer] classifies the infringing content as 'summaries of unpublished, character, setting, and plots of a forthcoming series'

100% that's actually what we found missing/were disappointed in from the Taliesin West "self-guided" audio tour was it was more social/artistic approach of his architectural style, and not at all on the actual architecture and it's effects.

Just select one of the 5 successor states to Yugoslavia, forward all traffic to their ministry of foreign affairs, and then enjoy the heartfelt exchange of brotherly love and munitions that ensues!

$800k doesn't sound like that much of money for someone that has access to that kind of insider knowledge

I think you over-estimate by a large margin how much congressional staffers and/or Pentagon employees make, many of whom could have access to this kind of information in the course of their duties.

Yes, I believe a person on a hacker forum who has said, through their own evaluations, that they have observed LLM driven agents exhibiting illegal behavior, such as when they have asked an agent to complete certain tasks with what sounds like abstracted levels of context. I believe them because I know I can get an agent to do that myself by simply installing OpenClaw and telling it to apply for as many mortgage loans as possible at the best rate possible.

-> Its e-commerce and wholesale operations are not affected by the filing because they are operated separately.

Eddie Bauer the brand is not going bankrupt; the company that runs the brick-and-mortor stores in North America as Eddie Bauer is. So if you get your Eddie Bauer from anywhere that isn't an Eddie Bauer store you should be fine.

Not at all. It's not the counter-factual they're generating, it's the "too rare to capture often enough to train a response to" they're generating.

They're implying that without the model having knowledge, even approximate, of a scene to react to, it simply doesn't react at all; it simply "yields" to the situation until it passes. In my experience taking Waymo's almost daily this holds.

I would rather not have the Waymo yield to a tornado, rising flood-waters, or charging elephant...

He also provided a fake email for my brother: alexanderedwardenenson@out-look.com. Notice the subtle misspelling — “Benenson” without the second “n” in the email, and the hyphenated “out-look.com” domain.

Surely you meant "'Benenson' without the “b” in the email, and the hyphenated 'out-look.com' domain"?
