They were leading the race in a niche category a few years ago. Now they are, according to some benchmarks, even on the right playing field.

Not everything is post-scarcity, mostly food and clothes. Land, fuel, weapons, art, fame, and labor are still limited resources in the Star Trek world. Also, not everywhere is post-scarcity, as we see many "poor" or restricted societies. The post-scarcity bit is mostly about a social safety net for individuals in the Federation.

I tried to Google his joke, but couldn't find it quickly enough. It might have been part of a longer special.

Armin Shimerman addressed the issue when asked at a question-and-answer session at a Star Trek convention. He stated that:

In America, people ask "Do the Ferengi represent Jews?" In England, they ask "Do the Ferengi represent the Irish?" In Australia, they ask if the Ferengi represent the Chinese ... The Ferengi represent the outcast ... it's the person who lives among us that we don't fully understand.[30]

A Jewish comedian made a joke about how jews (only in the US*) were offended that Ferengi in Star Trek were based on them - "why would we assume these ugly greedy people are _us_?"

*Outside the US, it looks like the Ferengi are mocking American capitalist culture.

Will you document how to (AI-)author and share reusable workflows between team members, to ensure some consistency of quality?

Maybe blasphemy, but will workflows be able to use non-Anthropic LLMs (e.g., delegating some steps to local models, but design and review by Claude)?

All my corporate AML training says that not performing some KYC for large payments, directly or through a bank, is a crime in its own even if the recipient isn't sanctioned.

From Claude, maybe it's a little nuanced compared to conservative corporate policies, but doesn't feel very legal: "You can be charged with money laundering (18 USC 1956/1957 in the US, equivalents elsewhere) if you knowingly — or with willful blindness — process proceeds of crime. "I didn't ask" is not a defense if the circumstances were suspicious; deliberately avoiding KYC to preserve deniability is exactly what willful blindness doctrine targets. The recipient doesn't need to be formally sanctioned; the funds just need to be tainted."

How is it not a violation of AML laws to pay a ransom like this? Surely they didn't verify that the recipient (a criminal) isn't sanctioned or associated with sanctioned organizations.

In New York it's the same, they make the license plates and also school furniture, and maybe other things too. I was scared for a moment when I was told by USPS Informed Delivery that I have incoming mail from Auburn Correctional Facility - but it was a license plate.

1. Check your AI's output before you share it with the world, so you don't waste everyone else's time.

2. The Bun project has two domains with identical content that don't redirect to each other: bun.com and bun.sh

My time to apply for citizenship based on my EB green card is approaching (4 years and 9 months, right?). Is it still advised for employment-based cases without children to file the N-400 without a lawyer?

Additionally - I will be getting married, to a US citizen, after filing the N-400 but likely before it will be approved or before the oath ceremony. Does that change the answer? In theory, she's not benefiting my case and not benefiting from my case, but I'm not sure if USCIS has a different opinion.

Zillow have the MLSs network that provide them lists, a similar solution could apply if courts agree that library copies apply for this - Anthropic could sign agreements with large libraries and "check out"/"freeze" copies for a minimally-agreed-upon duration and query across all to see which has a copy of each book they need. Spotify and Apple Music sign deals en masse with labels, the same could apply here with book publishers, labels for lyrics, museums for art, etc. Or whatever other creative solution that people who will need to find, will find. Right now they took the laziest path, because it worked. They will find the next-laziest path that works.

And the easiest option: Legislation change. If it's completely decided that the current law blocks LLMs from working in the US, the industry will lobby to amend the copyright law (which is not immutable) to add a carveout for it.

You're assuming that people will just give up. People never gave up, why would they now?

HP has some enterprise division that makes stuff I'll never see and

It's a separate company now: HPE "Hewlett Packard Enterprise". He mentions them in the blog post, but if you don't know that in 2015 HP split into two companies, you might not realize. He holds stocks in both companies, HP and HPE (in 2015, it was the same number, but since then there were some splits).

The license entitles you to receive lifetime updates for the major version. When we release the next major version, you can optionally renew the license.

Fairly common. JetBrains started that way too. Will they one day have a major version that's using a subscription model? Perhaps. But they will likely not regret this too much.

I've seen most of them moving to internally signed certs

Isn't this a good default? No network access, no need for a public certificate, no need for a certificate that might be mistakenly trusted by a public (non-malicious) device, no need for a public log for the issued certificate.
