It has to be tailored to the specific hardware so I don’t think it’s a major concern for most users. It doesn’t seem like something that can be fully mitigated either, so it’s probably not worth worrying about. Side channel attacks are really cool but also kind of useless in most practical scenarios.

The only advantage of teams is that it’s bundled with other Microsoft software. It’s worse than slack in every way. It’s a textbook example of a monopoly.

Replacing all jobs won’t create true abundance because the resources required to create things are finite, namely land and space in general. Without labour exchange the ones controlling the land have no reason to produce things for the average person who cannot provide them with anything in return. For a world with true abundance we’d need to eradicate greed, which I just can’t see happening.

To be fair anything short of selling chrome or breaking up the company would have a positive reaction. The possibility of losing chrome was priced in.

Perplexity (an “AI search engine” company with 500 million in funding) can’t bypass cloudflare’s anti-bot checks. For each search Perplexity scrapes the top results and summarizes them for the user. Cloudflare intentionally blocks perplexity’s scrapers because they ignore robots.txt and mimic real users to get around cloudflare’s blocking features. Perplexity argues that their scraping is acceptable because it’s user initiated.

Personally I think cloudflare is in the right here. The scraped sites get 0 revenue from Perplexity searches (unless the user decides to go through the sources section and click the links) and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.

They’ve been saying this for the last 2 years

They get a new feature to boast about

“Free market” fans when free market

The speed of many machine learning models is bound by the speed of the memory they’re loaded on so that’s probably the biggest one.

They’ll sell each of them off to be run into the ground by some other billionaires. Both are heavily subsidized by Google’s ad business which is still somewhat unobtrusive up front. As much as Google’s services have degraded, it will be much worse with another company at the helm trying to squeeze as much value out of their investment as possible.

This will be the subprime mortgage crisis of the 2020s.

In their human choice benchmarks it was only chosen 59% of the time compared to 4o. That’s a 15-20x cost increase for 9% difference.

Poor moderator probably had a foot fetish

That fight is primarily over their first amendment right to call it what they want without retribution from the government. The name change was a distraction but the first amendment threat is very real.

They weren’t doing much for the first 3 weeks either. The closest to resistance they’ve gotten is the AP fighting the gulf of America bs. I don’t feel like anything has changed, maybe it’s the people or algorithm you get your news from.

Immortals is far too generic to be a problem, there are plenty of other works that also use that name. The name changed from gods and monsters because they didn’t want to fight monster energy and potentially delay the game.

This would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.

The llama-1 paper acknowledged the use of the books dataset, libgen isn’t mentioned in any of the papers so this is new info.

The reason plane accidents are less common is because the worst licensed pilot is more competent than the average licensed driver by a wide margin

Airplanes will never be pilotless, there will always be a human in the loop for redundancy. A failure in a self driving car could kill a few people at most, a failure in a pilotless plane could kill thousands.
