Yes, but that's different than saying "I hate hammers, so I don't want OTHER people to use hammers"

It seems weird to be "pro-AI" or "anti-AI" in general. It's a tool. It's like saying construction workers are pro-hammer

Property taxes are a type of wealth tax

Just tried Claude Code on my Pro plan. It worked. So no, it's not removed

Investigating - Cloudflare is investigating issues with Cloudflare Dashboard and related APIs.

I've read plenty of dumb things in pre-AI books.

...except Airbnb's redesign is still extremely flat. Three icons that have 3-D shadows is not groundbreaking

leftist tarrifs

huh?

Most people probably don't have 2.5 TB worth of stuff.

But Backblaze is marketing itself towards people who do. The average person is not a backblaze customer

The "Personal backup" pricing plan is $99 USD / year and includes "Unlimited data backup" and "one year version history" which implies they are storing much more than just your data at a given time.

$99 would give you 5-6TB of data for consumer HDD costs. And then factor in that they are likely doing some type of additional backup/RAID it would be even less data per dollar. And that's not including maintenance, rent, and employees.

Honestly I'm surprised they exist

I also find Reddit good- but given I mainly follow subreddits focused on PC hardware, I'm less concerned. I would never go to Reddit for discussion about political or controversial topics where botting would be a target.

But not just due to astroturfing, but their users are also just pretty crazy and exist in a extremely narrow bubble.

or political ideas

Judging by some of the examples listed by Reddit mods, it seems political astroturfing is a serious goal:

"(This is one of the AI comments used in the experiment.)

As a Palestinian, I hate Israel and want the state of Israel to end. I consider them to be the worst people on earth. I will take ANY ally in this fight."

No - most Asian nations did not recognize the South Vietnam govt

I would not say "most". Thailand, Laos, SK, Philippines, Singapore did.

US vetoed Vietnamese membership to the UN in 1975 - after losing the War.

Because the war was still ongoing, between North and South at that time. They merged in 1976 and US voted in favor of membership in 1977.

Genocidal serbia got off too easy

It was never part of the UN and its membership was explicitly denied.

Solely due to a soviet veto. Most countries recognized it anyway.

But yet, no imperialism occurred?

How is it imperialism? The internationally-recognized government of South Vietnam asked the US for military intervention.

The US signed peace accords in 1973 and removed all troops. North Vietnam broke the accords and invaded South Vietnam in 1975.

In the fever of the 2024 campaign, Republican influencers and politicians have recast D.E.I. as an all-purpose boogeyman

Republicans seem correct. It's clear that DEI has gone way too far and is regressive rather than progressive.

The repo contains some source code, so therefore it's open source

If someone can't afford $30-50/mo for Internet

But that's the thing- they CAN afford it. They afforded it just fine before 2021 when the program started.

This is just a subsidy for big ISPs. Good riddance

Your representatives are not part of the DOJ...

Good. DEI, at its very core, is a racist and shallow ideology

OpenAI's claim is that they used the voice actors' natural voice

That is a silly thing to believe.

I think it's silly to believe that celebrities should own voices

Because VCs don't have a hard time finding startups whose founders will stay around for lame pay.

chose to forgo substantial royalties and collaboration potential

We know nothing about their offer to her. Could have just been a bad deal

I am still waiting for the war on tylenol, which has killed over 100k in US a year for decades.

That is completely false:

"an estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure each year"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15239078/

They also had adverse social consequences that increased costs for everybody.

This is just not true

The Gulf War was absolutely a US victory
