I don't use email anymore.

That's a choice. Why no email? Why is it so hard to have an email account for the few things that require it?

He was one of the few judges that understood tech. Unfortunately he retired last year.

Judge Alsup issued the original order that determined they were liable for piracy but that training LLMs on books was fair use. It's worth reading if you're interested in the topic. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69058235/231/bartz-v-an...

Every practical use of that 50 gb copy of Home Alone would have you transcoding it. Most clients would choke on that bit rate.

What clients are you using? I use the highest bitrate HDR videos possible. I very rarely have to transcode. 4k TVs are cheap as are 4k streaming devices.

The main case for transcoding is playing a video in a browser that doesn't support the original codec. Everything can handle high bitrate streams now. The one other rare exception is video that's over 100Mbit/s. I've encountered a few that are that high and some streaming boxes can only handle 100Mb.

It's funny though. I haven't contributed to OpenCode but if I had I'd still laugh because I have a sense of humor. Don't take everything so seriously.

Thanks for sharing, I'm not sure how I've never heard of this before.

Can you even disable all the ads on Windows 11?

There are two problems, false positives and changing the LLM's pattern.

It's really easy to have a false positive and false positives can be very harmful if the person using the detector isn't aware of that risk.

It's also very easy to change the pattern of LLM output. You can provide basic prompting that will significantly change the structure of the output. For example, having it utilize the Wikipedia article on signs of AI writing and avoid everything it describes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing

That sounds like a fun setup. I need to try out something like that.

It works well until it doesn't. I've been a Spotify user for at least 15 years (wild to say that). I've discovered a ton of bands I've become a long term fan of.

But also their algorithmic playlists have gotten worse and worse. They overfit user data. They all recommend the same singles over and over and over. I've found they also don't make sense, recommending music that doesn't even belong in the playlist.

I've switched to user created playlists more often than the algo ones, although a lot of user playlists are just saved copies of Spotify generated recommendations.

It has been known for a while that they were going to do this. They have multiple brands and sales aren't strong enough to keep them all.

Besides a mix of older Pixels and other phones, in the past few years I went OnePlus 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and currently OnePlus 13. I was completely underwhelmed by the 8 Pro. If felt like a marginal improvement over the OnePlus 8 for a premium price. The back cracked, water got in, and it stopped working. The OnePlus 13 feels like a significantly better phone in every way.

I just got a new phone a month ago. I wanted a Pixel so I could run GrapheneOS. After researching the hardware I ended up with a OnePlus 13. Google's hardware is far behind, buggy, and overpriced.

You can't use it real time but you can have it run in the background and come back to it.

Motorcycles and cars are not the same thing. Some people like one, the other, or both.

a Subaru Trailseeker EV station wagon

That is an SUV, not a wagon.

If your neighbors are that snobby they can't stand the sound of a stock car that's their problem, not yours.

Archive warrior's default project is mirroring t.me links. If you're running it you'll need to switch to a different project. It isn't handling the domain not resolving well, it stuck in timeout backoffs.

They made him write code as part of an interview?

I skimmed through some of that and nothing implied similar behavior. Do you have a better reference?

Where do you think he learned it? While working at Apple from them doing the same type of thing.

It’s possible this kind of behavior is endorsed throughout, or it’s possible it’s limited to this specific group.

As others have pointed out elsewhere this is literally the type of behavior OpenAI is founded on. Gathering up other people's IP and using it to build their own thing. It's how all the big LLMs are built.

GPU power density is very high. The B300, for example, is rated at 1400W TDP. You can fit a lot of B300s in the space of a washing machine.

OP said after 2008. There are many cars made after 2008 that do not have intrusive systems. For example, my 2018 Camaro has none of that. The only proximity sensors it has are side vehicle indicators and all they do is turn on a light.

New cars with intrusive driver monitoring alerts are obviously going to be terrible but you can still buy vehicles made prior to this change.

The intrusiveness of these systems varies significantly between manufacturers. Don't buy one with an annoying, intrusive system.

Yup, they wrote the paper.

"...researchers demonstrate how Vantablack® 310 – an ultra-black coating developed by University of Surrey spinout Surrey NanoSystems, co-authors of the paper..."

Abolishing ICE and demilitarizing borders is not the same thing as supporting open borders.

to see the Marfa Lights. We did see the lights - it's a real thing!

They're car headlights, which are indeed a real thing.

True brutalist web design.

Concrete web design? What does that mean?

I guess you mean the site is simple but that's not what brutalism is.

They both profited, enormously, off sexual exploitation and human trafficking around the world by (knowingly) serving as a directory for pimps.

From what I read back when this happened you have it backwards. The classifieds on CL and other sites for sex were were largely individuals choosing to do it. They were not being trafficked or pimped. By closing those listings down it would end up pushing sex workers to find other sources of clients, like pimps.
