These numbers are made up. I don't see how IP clearly makes things worse or better. On one hand, yes, IP = monopoly = rents, as you say. But on the other hand, no IP means economy of scale is a lot more important, and…
Not only elections, anything he thinks he should win is rigged: Emmy awards, Nobel Peace Prizes, probably a lot more.
If the cost comes down, that could make something worth paying for when it previously was not.

Why would this help? Unsigned integer overflow is defined behavior, that causes basically the same set of bugs in practice. In a way it is worse, because at least runtime UB checkers have a reason to complain about…

I don't know about this person, but for me and I'm guessing the average professional in basically any field, before LLMs, they simply ignored information that needed summarizing, made their own crappy slides, and didn't…
This is just handing harassers a foolproof method for avoiding police intervention if they wanted to harass (or worse) in person.
Remind me who leaves 8 bath tub faucets running 24/7/365?
It's not that simple. A pure EV needs ~10x as much battery as a PHEV. So for the same amount of batteries produced, you could make 10x as many vehicles PHEVs as EVs. Not all vehicles can be EVs due to practical issues.…
It's a matter of scale: https://www.wsj.com/world/china/the-u-s-has-been-spending-bi... If you trust Google's AI summary, China spends 4-5% of GDP on industrial subsidies, vs US at 0.4%. 10-12x as much.
It looks like the curve is flattering, and the current state actually looks slightly cherry picked (it matches a previous spike that looks a bit of an outlier before the result went down). The longer they train, the…

That the issue of slavery has weak explanatory power for what is happening today.
Just go back to 4.8. Opus 5 was a regression in every way I've noticed every time I have tried to use it.
There is not one mention of data centers in the article, and I highly doubt anyone is trying to put any significant computing capacity in SF.
Roomba was not competitive in the market, no amount of Amazon market manipulation would have changed that. Best case scenario, Amazon would have invested in making it competitive. Worst case, their engineers would have…
Some of Evergrande's financial practices were somewhat ponzi-scheme-ish (new sales funded construction of previous buyers), and the US has imprisoned a few such schemers too.
None of this is specific to GitHub. The exact same problems will sometimes happen any time users and developers communicate, which is a basic requirement of developing useful software. I doubt GitHub issues are worse…
Based on my personal experience and general observation, it seems like companies are both slow to hire, and slow to fire. So, paradoxically, both actions seem like they should signal "this company is going to be better…
If that's really all it takes, then it is not much of a moat.
I don't know what timeframe we are talking about here, but 1 million gallons is how much 33 people in the US use in a year. It's really not that much water.
They shouldn't be. But the point is, they are. OpenAI and Anthropic are paying many rights holders for access to their data (reddit, NYT, etc.). So distillation, among other things, allows Chinese labs to indirectly…

Disclosing private repos against the owner's intent is a much more immediate and significant business risk than violating the license of open source code. Maybe that shouldn't be the case, but it is.
