Nope. I used to assist a photographer who did shoots for catalogs, and clips were used quite a bit. The same model has to wear dozens of pieces of clothing throughout the shoot, and not everything is going to fit their body well, but the clients obviously want everything to look well fitted.
Respectfully, I am not. Communication is so broad as to be meaningless in this context. Can you have a community that communicates via smoke signals alone?
If people don't talk about one other then there is no community. It's a fundamental part of human culture, which has existed in every human society ever recorded, and almost certainly every human society every to exist.
Gossip is a hugely important part of how a community constitutes itself. Without gossip, you don't even have a community. Of course, it can go in malicious and destructive directions as well
If that was the real purpose they would have priced it lower.
That doesn't seem that weird to me. Good processes lead to good artifacts.
Do you really believe that people keeping politics out of technical discussions is how we got here. I mean, do you actually believe that, or are you just using that rhetoric to bolster your argument?
Because from where I'm sitting, politics has entered almost every possible discussion since at least 2015, and it has not made things one whit better .
Sometimes called the soft bigotry of low expectations
What relationship does the death penalty and genocide have to democracy (or lack thereof)? That seems orthogonal to the definition.
I had the same experience visit Mojave National Preserve. It was very distracting while trying to stargaze. I had to stay up late to see the night sky I remember
That's not true. Even the liberal interpretation of this recognizes that some people within the geographic boundary are not subject to the jurisdiction. Diplomats and invading armies, for example.
Following the implications of this argument leads to some pretty hairy places. If a person is incapable of reasoning outside of their class/race/gender/etc position, then how is a fair law even possible? Or perhaps the argument implies that people like that constitutional scholar have reached a state of purely detached enlightenment, and thus are exempt from this logic?
Having all the world's knowledge at our fingertips didn't seem to make us any smarter (quite the contrary, from where I'm sitting), so I'm skeptical that having private tutors at our disposal is going to. Perhaps for the ever-curious few, but for most people those "tutors" will probably just end up as another form of entertainment.
Looking at some of the agentic coding benchmarks on the system card[0], pages 117-118, it seems that running it at low outperforms Sonnet 4.6 at any level, and is a good deal cheaper as well. So on low it could be a good workhorse for an Opus-planned task.
I think their last sentence is a pretty clear indicator that they were not being serious.
This doesn't seem like a dichotomy to me. Words can be a byproduct of thought and consciousness while also enabling new forms of consciousness and reasoning.
Clothing enables the human body to do things it couldn't before (staying warm, protecting the skin and feet, etc), but it also couldn't exist without the human body to create it.
I got an email from them with this information approximately six hours ago.
There is also a banner about the price change on their API platform site, at least for me
Are you only considering coding use cases?
Many enterprise use cases, such as simple data extraction, are well served by cheaper models.
My strategy has been to follow accounts that just repost reviews by well respected film critics, usually older ones like Stanley Kauffman or Pauline Kael. Typically they're well written even if I disagree with the take, and they avoid the overwriting problem that even the more thoughtful Letterboxd users are prone to (easier to write a long, rambling review than a concise one). But those accounts get taken down occasionally, usually don't have any reviews for more recent movies, and have spotty coverage even for older movies.
On Letterboxd, the reviews can be as entertaining as the movies themselves.
Hard disagree here. There are some good reviewers on there but you have to wade through a mountain of terrible one-liners from wannabe comedians. No matter how many of these users I block there are always more of them popping up. I wish they had a character or sentence length filter for reviews that could be toggled on, for those of us who aren't looking for a "Twitter for movies" experience.
Absolutely ludicrous comparison
Reminiscent of when coding agents fail to fix a bug and keep digging themselves deeper into a hole.
I understand the problem now, I just need to... I was wrong before but the issue is now clear, let me... I have complete clarity now! I'm going to...
Sorry, I meant non-locally.
I'm assuming privacy is not a concern since you mentioned using Deepseek already. The cost of V4 Flash for small tasks is so minuscule as to be almost free, and you don't have to deal with a churning laptop (or even buying a high-end laptop, for someone who doesn't already have one).
I guess what I'm really asking is, what's the advantage of using these small local models if privacy isn't a concern?
Why not just use DS V4 Flash for the small stuff? Very fast and extremely cheap.
Have any major open weight models been "open data"? Wouldn't that entail distributing vast amounts of copyrighted data?
That's because Qwen's flagship models are not, in fact, open weight. Qwen3.7 Max, Qwen3.7 Plus and others are closed weight.
You can use Qwen3.6 35B A3B (for example) on Openrouter with a US-based ZDR provider, because it's one of their open weight models
Insurance companies spend a lot of time on bill review and disputes over coding. They will develop an adversarial AI process to counteract this (assuming they haven't already). Race to the bottom and we all win
He allowed allowed the destruction of Gaza to start, and did nothing to stop it even when it was clear what was happening and it was within his power to do so. Of course, Trump would have been no better on that front. But that brings us back to...
The lesser of two evils is still evil
This is very true. My parents were organic farmers back before there was any legal or official designation, and keeping synthetic pesticides out of the soil and watershed was a bigger motivation for them than fear of eating conventionally grown food.
I think as organic food became more mainstream it also became more about an individual's health and less about larger environmental and social concerns, but those concerns are at the heart of the original organic movement.
Ah, missed that. Well, I think the point remains that it's an abominable and misleading graph
And to top it off both Y axes have the exact same label. The graph has no indication as to which line belongs to which axis. Of course, we can easily infer which is which from the surrounding article, but still... terrible data visualization
