If you can’t see the difference between a design firm pointing out obvious riffs on their first to market designs… And a company openly instructing poached employees to exfiltrate documents on their way out the door,…
Apples billions are in cash OpenAIs billions are in IOUs to Nvidia
Yep SNES games retailed for up to $70 in the early 90s. I’m seeing gamers revolt for paying that much today for something as immense as GTA6 Back then this was more expensive, adjusted for inflation, than many AAA…
Ironically, when people moved their communities to Reddit and discord they only helped to enable the AI theft of this culture Forums were easy to search. The threads were mostly chronological and easy to stay in touch…

Look. OP said he couldn’t remember something so I provided some links to jog his memory. There is no shortage of examples of musk being a shithead for anyone who cares. I am not going to litigate every detail in these…
You are being intentionally obtuse. Why on earth you would feel the need to play this game when we all know Musk’s character is baffling.

Counterpoint: bandcamp is doing well. Vinyl sales are doing well. If I like an artist that I find on streaming, I buy an LP and get a lossless download for free. I still have a music library and I will never rent my…
That’s true, but I consider myself a collector. Think of how a comic book collector operates. If I have an option to get a 16bit version of a recording or a high-res version, I choose the highest quality version very…
That’s dumb. Call your local authorities. I woke up to a bat in my house. Local animal control told us to go to the ER immediately and get the rabies cycle started. Don’t play games.
If I were in her shoes I’d take it down and create a new post as soon as they left. Every instance of them harassing her over each post gives her a mountain of evidence to sue the government and retire on the proceeds.…

And an LLM is just generating a token stream from a set of model weights
When scotus rules that the president can break any law he sees fit, that argument is circular.

And what are the consequences if they do it anyway?
That’s really beside the point. It doesn’t matter what the 9th circuit or any other court says. Our country is no longer a country of laws. Laws are only as good as they are enforced. The SCOTUS, the DOJ, the FBI, and…
The year is 2026 and the 4th amendment only means what the currently sitting justices say that it means, and the executive branch was literally given a pass to violate any law on the books that they want.
I have no doubt that provided a vast camera network covering every ingress and egress into a city, and every major intersection, plus a database of when and where a license plate was last seen, cops can find their…
