I guess I shouldn't try to buy shares of OpenAI on the private market...

Apache Solr / Lucene

Elasticsearch

Just like most people use Facebook or Insta for personal webpages instead of rolling their own, most people will use commercial AI forever.

It didn't seem mind-boggling during the cold war. But I guess it does now.

Just like opensource search engines killed google

oh wait

Goroutines?

I've heard circular reasoning before, but not one right in the title!

The only countries that can shoot down a satellite are United States, Russia, China, and India.

Is the US going to launch a multimillion dollar multistage aegis missile to blow up a server that is serving illegal gambling?

My bmw has this for the traffic jam self-drive (< 40mph) feature.

My eyes wander a bit and it scolds me.

crypto scams, selling CSAM

I think everyone misses the real point - they're completely outside the jurisdiction of any government.

Short of launching an ASAT and the risk of space debris, nobody will be able to shut them down.

brave move using Opu$ for clawd

So, series h, i, j companies are worthless?

Can you reach into the model and "transplant" weights directly?

South SF library has sewing machines

SFPL used to have tools until it got ruined.

blueberries are tasty enough to be fun.

I suspect people like the pink blueberries because they have a higher sugar content.

Living out your final years with 'beetus doesn't seem like a fun way to live.

They're already losing ground to Anthropic even with this much R&D.

Do we know how bad/good misAnthropic is doing financially?

this is the only worthwhile comment in this thread

blueberries without the healthy and beneficial pigment/flavonoids

what a dumb idea

A short history of how tech leaders went from charming nerd to terrifying overlord

did this guy ever hear of Larry Ellison? He also claims Gates wasn't a terrifying overlord

I suppose, but my local high school art class does some silk screen printing, so it's not dead

tl;dr: plain old silkscreen printing. Nothing revolutionary

same order of magnitude :)

I always figured I would get sick of it or burn out. I'm hitting my 4th decade of software engineering with renewed excitement

Great, now I won't be able to trust that old videos aren't AI slop either.

"This page is slowing down firefox"

isn't this just what 3-finger upswipe does???

Companies that have a 7 round interview process are not serious in hiring in general. Sure if some super-genius comes along.

But no, it's just a performance. The director can claim they're behind on projects because they don't have enough staff, but everyone they interview isn't qualified (because the interviews are impossible and nearly everyone trips up)

I started seeing this pattern recently.

The companies that are serious move fast. A chat with the hiring manager. A couple technical interviews, maybe on-site for 2 hours. A chat with someone higher up. Done, offer made.

Translation: we want to be able to sell your data rather than let Apple have it.

So, then I guess the big three are never going to make their money back.
