Also DeepSeek R1 was announced 1.5 years ago with ~0.7T parameters, which was a huge model back then.

Yes, but there may be other events that are correlated.

For example, they changed their fee structure in June. It is possible that users of closed models moved from OpenRouter to directly using OpenAI/Anthropic/Google (or maybe Amazon Bedrock), while users of open models are happy with OpenRouter as direct providers can sometimes be unstable.

You would not have Xi showing up at AI conferences

How is that an indicator of a principled play? Wouldn't he do the same if it was tactical?

I believe this table needs a column for the disassembly process as well.

I bought and assembled a TUFFING Bunk Bed years ago, and even though the complexity of assembly is reported as 4644 on this web site (which is also suspiciously low), as far as I can tell the only way to disassemble it is to use an angle grinder.

As one of my professors said back in time: "Steel is one of the best materials for a number of applications. We don't use it only because it's abundant. "Abundant" and "good" are not always mutually exclusive."

But in this case you would be supporting one of the good things (science & technology) they've done, right? A database connection pooler is not necessarily military technology.

Yeah, that's the point, right? With tool calling the LLM becomes code. So instead of asking it to write an accounting software, you can hire the LLM to be your accountant.

the world really has moved on to open models

Don't get me wrong: I'm all for open models, but I think it will get more and more difficult to distil-train them without (legitimate) access to frontier models.

According to your parent comment, even in Sweden, it's 8.7 hours of work, more than a full day.

That's the definition of "value" in a broad, economics sense but I don't think it applies to the parent comment of this thread:

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get $200 of value out of personal use!

Yeah. There was a weird Xerox printer bug that swapped digits (turning 6s into 8s) on scanned documents caused by the JBIG2 image format [1].

Obviously this assumes that you can find 4+ extra hours of $50/hr work every month, or you can work 4 hours less. Neither of these assumptions is correct for people who work for a fixed salary.

There are many deals at LowEndBox. Here is a $10/year example (Los Angeles or New York):

Such deals come and go, but there are other hosts with similar pricing:

What you said is correct, but only for a rational person. Note the wording of your parent comment: "it looks like".

Many if not most people will buy the thing for $X, then complain that someone else scored the same item for $X - $100.

they just want to protect themselves from the German Tank Problem type of analysis

How could you estimate that when they don't let you know your position in the queue (with or without randomisation)?

we'll send you an email with the option to purchase. You'll then have 72 hours to complete the purchase.

FYI the uv equivalent is

I assume management thinks this will lead to better documentation practices and standardized processes

I think employees will also document less, and try not to standardise processes as much as they can as an attempt to improve their job security.

They broke down the door.

I've never lived in the US. Spent the majority of my adult life in Europe, and the country I currently live in (Australia) has very strict gun laws.

That being said, if I were a police officer I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

Obviously i want that to apply to everyone not just the rich and famous

Do you really want armed and masked police to break down the doors of people who dox others, disable their cameras, and arrest them while refusing to tell them the charges? Because without these details this would have been a non-story.

I was thinking of the police officers. Why risk your life for such a petty crime?

When the two civilian dressed masked men entered the apparentment

I think this is very irresponsible. What would happen if the owner was armed and harmed the police thinking that they were criminals?

Even with the best documentation people will build up knowledge that no one has

I think that's the part management teams are missing. They assume that employees are just human resources and they can replace a senior engineer with a 100% equivalent one when needed.

they threw this together at the last minute and simply out-sourced it to Persona.

They could have vibe-coded their own verification system that uses DC APIs. It shouldn't take long, assuming that Anthropic still has access to Fable. /s

If you're one of the few early adopters of short-lived (6-day) certs you should renew at 3 days

Apparently certificates are becoming OCSP-only with a TTL.

If I'm required to renew it 30 days before the expiration date then the expiration date is a lie, isn't it?

Many countries won't let you enter if your passport expires less than 6 months after your planned departure date. Basically the effective validity of a passport is 0.5 years less than the period you pay for.

the expected value of an act that happens at an unspecified time in the future is zero

It doesn't have to be an unspecified time. Imagine you make $100K and want to donate $50K of that every year. One might say "well, I will bank that money instead, buy a property for $250K, then donate the rental income forever". You now have a specific time in the future (almost, depending on how property prices fluctuate in the next 5 years).

you just want to see that the file changed

I check the diff for uv.lock (Python counterpart of package-lock.json) every time I merge a PR. It is important to know which direct or transient dependencies have been updated. We don't blindly bump all dependencies to the latest versions (you shouldn't either).
