There are even some benchmarks which have caught 'lazy coding' regressions with their latest models[1]. I recall my best experience with their models was last year with an early version of the advanced data analysis feature where it would write a script, write tests for it, run the tests, update the code and/or tests, and re-run them. Presumably that was too expensive, and now it feels like pulling teeth to get the same result.

Can anyone help demystify the licensing?

Besides the ACCEPTABLE_USE_POLICY, there's a CC BY-NC 4.0 (NonCommercial) license, a 'SEAMLESS_LICENSE' (NonCommercial), but also an MIT license? It would seem these other licenses contradict the MIT license, could somebody help clarify how these all interact in practice?

But like okay, if you are so great why can I only watch at 1x playback speed for video?

Maybe they updated this recently since you last tried, but you can most certainly change the playback speed for podcast videos (0.5x–3.5x). I just did it. Of course, the UX could definitely be improved in other ways, such as providing a more organized & easily filterable feed rather than a somewhat random assortment of 'Your shows' and 'Episodes for you'.

Probably no more labor than any other organic farm, which is to say, far more than most people expect but tolerable. And upstate New York is quite agreeable even in the height of summertime.

Winter is a different story.

I'm more curious about what sort of social responsibilities are required. Do you have to engage in all that `frog`, `song`, `tree` triteness or is it truly an open and accepting community?

That simply reflects the fact that 5.5 billion is 55,000 times larger than 100,000.

Anything you do to have even the tiniest effect on the consumption of nearly the entire world's population is going to have a large impact.

Even if you start with the assumption of incompetence over malice—this is the same guy who paid Duke $750,000 to admit his son, and has well documented conflicts of interests in his role as postmaster general. He's a political appointee for a party interested in undermining USPS while he funnels contracts to XPO, a company of which he still holds $75 million in shares. Simple unadorned corruption, that's all.

Both analogs bear aspects of truth since software has the characteristics of being both a machine (crafted precision tool), as well as being information itself (freely spread & adaptable). Its future is probably some superposition of both.

Hyper-threading (along with some forms of speculative execution which become subject to side channel attacks) is another example of a performance enabling technology with unforeseen security vulnerabilities which are nowadays required to be disabled.

With the death of Moore's law [1], it's not too surprising that newer CPUs (or at least x86 ones) are still recoiling from Spectre and Meltdown et al.

If anything, the cause of the most recent real estate crash (and subsequent rise) was the overwhelming covariance of real estate trends throughout the country/developed world.
