True. CCP does not attempt to impose their censorship on other countries, while EU have asked Cloudflare to DNS block their wish list for the entire world.

This one better hurt the Apple employees who still cares:

"On the upside: it’s not that hard anymore to design better than Apple!"

"Sweeney wrote on social media." with a link to X.

What a strange choice of words I though, clicked on author name:

"You can find his irregular musings on BlueSky: @kyleor.land.".

I see.

You can still opt in today to tag your location in a post, that never changed.
This is incorrect.

The old Twitter and its API had "source" field which showed the client app a tweet was sent from.

{ "created_at": "Mon Nov 20 12:34:56 +0000 2023", "id_str": "1726578932412345678", "full_text": "Example tweet", "source": "<a href=\"http://twitter.com/download/iphone\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter for iPhone</a>", ... }

Rookie mistake. Should have identified as an undocumented immigrant. $0 bill.

Can't use Anthropic models in Cursor. Completely cost prohibitive compared to gpt-5 and grok models.

Why is this? Does Anthropic have just higher infrastructure costs compared to OpenAI/xAI?

so since reasoning_effort is not discussed anywhere, I assume you used the default which is "medium"?

There is a lot of upside of inviting CCP into your home, for instance...
Yes, we must demand they stop improving at such a speed.

How dare they have ambition to develop tech advanced enough to go to Mars.

Re:Meta Fined $843M by EU over Marketplace Ads on Thursday November 14, 2024 @11:56AM (#42138162)
Will future tech companies bother making their products available in the EU? Will it be worth it, or is just too big of a risk with uncertain outcomes?
Microsoft's OpenAI models seems even worse. They run their own "safety" filter.

Using their models in a medical setting is impossible. It refuses to describe scientific photos and will not summarize HCP discussions (texts) that it misinterprets.

This is the most important update.

Pricing and speed doesn't matter when your call fails because of "safety".

How did you arrive at 200M? Sounds generous.

"sounds like a waste of money"

Don't forget we are talking about EU governments here. This is a feature, not a bug.

Zero dependency on China is a pretty significant bonus.
Remember how much public beatings Coinbase received when they announced they were going to be a mission and merit driven company?
