kutx and koop on the same frequency are great

DC has wider margins than the 5090. by someone elses rough numbers (https://www.spheron.network/blog/gb300-nvl72-vs-gb200-nvl72-...) for GB300 rack:

132kW

~$3.7-4M

So about 300x the 5090's power but 1000x the price. Roughly 9 years for electricity to exceed price at $0.38 and datacenters will show up in areas with cheaper power than CA.

Most phones quietly lose their ip68 when battery or screen is replaced

Yes, I think that is the idea - AI is scary to most normal people, so the ad goes, "yes it's scary, but we're, uh, smart? It will be okay..."

It was a good ad, because it was scary but hopeful, and I think that's how they want people to view their company?

Trying to make claude come off as human and friendly is never going to work in an ad, it would be huge uncanny valley.

So may as well try to scare people, might help juice the ipo a tiny bit from clueless people

It was the post-DOGE DOI that rescinded the rule, after the "fat and waste" had been cut.

My experience with USAA is still that it's better than all of the other insurers, but I haven't had to make any homeowners claims. They have done very well every time my family had to make an auto claim - still only a couple of times, but it was very clean and no-BS.

Just chiming in because you might be interested -

That's just true. Plastic spoons for cooking suck, wood and (where it makes sense and won't damage other things) metal are way better.

If you have ever used nice commercial high-temp silicone spatula, it's an incredibly versatile and easy to clean spoon for cooking. A bit expensive at like $20 though. Pair with nice nonstick pan and polycarbonate cutting board (dishwashable) for the easiest and most out of fashion cooking and cleaning experience.

One thing that's surprised me is the cost and/or total lack of availability of glass blender jars

My cheapest in the store oyster blender is glass, I think they mostly still are.

I think it's for the insane amount of data they get to collect. Most people probably don't turn off the "help improve other models" while corporations paying by the token have blanket no-train policies applied to everyone.

If it was not very affordable, it would not be interesting as a light meter, because it would make no sense to spend any more money on a very basic light meter. Light meters on amazon start at about $15-30 (and go to ~$700), so at it's current price point, it's not much more expensive then a basic light meter without the camera.

I can't wait for the deluge of AI generated agent-optimized webpages competing to trick your agent into giving them micropennies.

There's so many other bbq restaurants competitive with Franklin and better than heb.

For the price though, the heb bbq is extremely competitive. But if someone is coming to town looking for great bbq (even without any Franklin line), there are a bunch of places id recommend first.

Don't brits use the same way, i.e. "Take a jab at it"?

- not a brit so idk

How many high income individuals want to share a house with 5 strangers?

Do people get pwned by anything besides spearphishing or ads nowadays? I think ad->phish or targeted phish emails is the only shady thing I've been exposed to in like 10 years

Are you suggesting ivermectin was a safe and effective enough treatment for COVID that it would obviate the need for the vaccine?

It's more than the style, it seriously impacts the legibility of the prose. The article is seriously hard to understand because it introduces a lot of different ideas in a really weird order without a clear structure or key idea to different sections.

All of the normal AI tells plus it's very long yet nearly incoherent.

Really I use the AI every damn day at work I don't get how people can't recognize instantly if something is completely AI, AI with light proofreading, or human written.

I would call this as AI with very light proofreading.

The idea is really neat and there's probably an answer here related to last standing vs kills vs "scoring" (some combination of the 2?) but the article is nearly incoherent because the author did not feel like proofreading their slop

In context it's funny, and that's what counts.

"I avoided implementing this correctly because of migration concern for existing installations of this code I'm writing right now"

This one grinds my gears so bad, probably 1/4 of my job at this point is telling an LLM (either in my own editor or in review comments for someone's MR) "how about we do this right _before_ merging it, eh?".

Or:

foo = abc

<Maybe 4-10 lines of code>

if foo != None:

    ...

No they aren't overlooking it. They literally call out the additional net value created (i.e. iPhone hw sales), and then call out that to make the enormous amounts that they do make, they also crib value from others (i.e. app store).

You can argue that the app store and vetting process itself is worth up to or over 30% (i.e. they are giving value away, not extracting it), but they make a clear distinction.

the famed triple negative (also tofu is healthy and delicious)

It's one of the richest food cultures in the world. If you've never tried sichuan peppercorn on mapo tofu, or pickled mustard greens on noodle dishes, I think you're in for a real treat.

These do involve foods from China though..

If we're discussing pedagogy, hearing a word and repeating it with a human judging your pronunciation is miles better than IPA.

A frontier LLM operationalizes knowledge into interactive capability

An interactive capability to slopblog on politics and censorship it seems :P

More seriously, while I think it can be interesting to consider issues by talking to an LLM like this, I can't imagine posting that on the internet for the whole world to see.

It's so embarrassing.

I think the dirty secret is that a lot of it is not "1/2 the price that lasts 1/4 the time" but "1/4 the price that lasts 9/10 the time" or "1/2 the price for the exact same product without half of the budget going to marketing".

It's not all of it. Some things are seriously worse quality. But really a ton of the "better quality" is just better marketing.

I know I'm not supposed to complain, and you are all free to flag this comment, but i actually cannot believe i got downdooted for calling out Garry Tan's slop racebaiting

Crazy even Garry Tan can't write his own opinion blogs anymore

It's poorly structured. I think a better split between technical vs social measures and how they interact would result in a much better article. It also doesn't seem to even mention DPI or great firewall of China as prior art.
