You can actually use it with Claude Pro, which is 20/month

The chart is interesting, but misses on an important thing: semiconductor production on it's own is complicated, but producing equipment for semiconductor production is the whole new level, that's why ASML.

Free products are not the consequence of megacorps existence. Free products exist, because you are the product. Big companies also doesn't necessarily mean monopolies.
Because we live in a society with some ideas of decency, integrity and so on. He shouldn’t. That’s why he could receive this kind of feedback.
There’s industrial farming, and then there’s farming.

In reality though, do we actually need humanoid robots, and if so, for what?
However, none of that was fed to you by algorithms, but rather your own curiosity for weird stuff and your ability to find it. I am not saying that it is good or bad, but in my book, it is different from infinite algorithmic feeds we currently have.

I think Fowler's work is an underrated must-read for anyone who works in domains related to moving money. Makes any kind of engineering practices and architecture principles logical and make sense.

Re:Claude is now available in Europe on Tuesday May 14, 2024 @11:21AM (#40356128)
In oppressive regimes like USSR (as if there are or were any regimes "like USSR") (where censorship was manual) there always were loopholes to avoid censorship and convey messages you wanted to. In the West (as well as in the East) today the platforms don't allow for any loopholes, or even when such loopholes are found, they're being censored out very quickly.
Re:Claude is now available in Europe on Tuesday May 14, 2024 @06:41AM (#40353691)
Oh, it absolutely is. Censorship in USSR was manual labor. The scale at which its is operating today is incomparable, as is the amount of false positives which it captures, as well as the variety of censored topics across different institutions.
Thanks for that, OpenAI, but this more or less means unsubscribe.

Re:The failure of self-checkout technology on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @05:44AM (#39026016)
I prefer self-checkout and use it pretty much every time I see an opportunity to do so. Living in the Netherlands, somehow self-checkout in Dutch supermarkets is very different from the ones I encounter in France or UK. Every time in France or UK I have issues with it primarily because the self-checkout tills have a very cumbersome and poorly working area where I have to put the checked products. Either they're doing a weight check or something, but it just doesn't work 75% of the time, which is extremely frustrating. Dutch supermarkets went with cheaper tills without this weight-check tech, and it just works every time.
Re:Purple Llama by Meta AI on Thursday December 07, 2023 @01:50PM (#38560166)
Every third story on my Instagram is a scammy “investment education” ad. Somehow they get through the moderation queues successfully. I continuously report them but seems like the AI doesn’t learn from that.
Dropbox and Booking are good examples. Depends on what you call large though.
There's Vercel, there's Netlify, there are more. They all have their niche offerings, which sometimes beat what AWS does. However, they're not a _generic_ cloud hosting provider as Rackspace is. Seems like specialisation is the only way out for them.

Re:Akamai to Acquire Linode on Wednesday February 16, 2022 @03:55AM (#30357719)
What was very visible for me personally is that support people are very highly qualified, and can actually solve the problems themselves instead of escalating. So think of exposing higher qualified people to the front lines of support. Moreover, the feeling of speaking to a real person, who actually cares is something hyperscale cloud guys will never give you.

You were just so ahead of the whole NFT curve.
It is so handy, indeed! I really wish Apple spent some time to make users aware of things like this, which are baked into standard macOS software.
Re:Will Citroen manage to re-invent the wheel? on Friday December 31, 2021 @12:54PM (#29750533)
The last point is easily addressed by e-bikes. The rest is up to Americans to challenge by voting politicians who promise to make changes in those directions.
Takes time, a lot of marketing money, more time, more money. Look at what is happening with Telegram globally. It is used as a serious alternative to WhatsApp in some countries, but far from being a real global competitor still.

Re:Eric Schmidt has applied to become a citizen of Cyprus on Monday November 09, 2020 @02:42PM (#25038933)
Exactly. I don’t think those who comment understand that IRS will tax Schmidt anyways, and he also is already avoiding taxes as much as he can.

Forwarding to a new address doesn’t solve the whole Google problem, as GMail still stores and processes all your emails.
Re:Zoom still don't understand GDPR on Monday August 31, 2020 @08:43AM (#24330846)
That is incorrect. GDPR applies to EU residents using the service, wherever that service is.
