If you haven’t seen it, Listers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-wAqplQAo) provides a great glimpse into what competitive birdwatching looks like. It’s nothing like casual birdwatching.

They have to do exactly this in Australia and a burger is still $20-22 all up.

It wasn’t night for all of Asia or Europe?

Sure but the robots that extend our capabilities often start by replicating our current capabilities, even if those are as simple as folding clothes. It provides a baseline for the next generation of robots that can do more.

Is there evidence of any state-sponsored bots at all? It seems like this has become an accepted fact but I don’t see any data indicating it’s actually real.

This is the key though: it’s not just supposed subsidies, because the Chinese companies are fundamentally just faster and more efficient

I’m convinced this is a joke by Ives cause there’s no way he’d approve that description without checking it had 90 degrees

Off topic, but how do you operate without email? Is it not essential for many government services and utilities where you are?

(Here, it is technically optional for utilities but is an additional $10/month to have your electricity bill posted to you instead of emailed. The tax office requires email as does my bank though - I just checked.)

Batch can take up to 24 hours (and often does) and may never complete if it gets cancelled so it’d be hard to build a user workflow around unless you kick off planning on Friday and come back Monday

Outlook and iCloud support a subset (like tickets and reservations) too

For $0.70/call, why don’t you take the offer? Surely that’s extremely profitable for you?

> Preliminary trials with Claude Mythos Preview showed that it would not provide an apples-to-apples comparison with other models because of how we had set up the experiment and how the model was served.

What does this mean? My guess is they couldn’t co-locate Mythos close enough to reduce latency?

(I’m assuming this experiment pre-dates the export controls)

> assuming my income scaled with my output

The problem is that hasn’t been the case for 50 years

Mistral (French) for one but several governments have sponsored projects too

The Chinese labs would only go dark if they believe they’ve surpassed the American labs, otherwise what benefit is there to them to refrain from sharing the models? Better to have all of their allies able to use the same models by making them public

30g? That seems like a lot - isn’t the standard dose 5g?

Did you build up incrementally and find that to be the best?

How does this compare to Automation Anywhere? They’ve been in the RPA market a long time but did a hard pivot to AI.

ABBYY has a specific module for dot matrix printouts so I’m surprised it was a struggle for them but every document is different

It’s, by definition, not a war crime. Military brass bands are eligible targets as are unarmed naval ships.

$200k is more for FedRAMP or PROTECTED+, but I think you’d be able to create a “compliance” addon for $20k quite successfully.

Which ones are a good example of how things could be?

OneDrive supports automatic syncing of photos from iOS to the Mac.

Beyond the other comments denouncing it as AI slop, it’s fundamentally wrong. GMV aka marketplace thru-revenue is strictly defined by accounting standards and most tax offices (including the IRS and ATO). It’s not something you just decide to have. One of the core principles of it is that the consumer is aware that the revenue will flow through (eg, if buying something on Etsy/Amazon, that is obvious while others like Uber are more contentious). Using a different model provider is unlikely to pass the test.

This would’ve been a fascinating article if written by an accounting expert but is unfortunately just slop.

Those days are long, long gone (15 years ago) for most of the US/UK/EU/Australia and parts f Asia. You require government ID to purchase which gets tied to the IMEI.

I want to like Zoo but the rendering engine is so buggy currently that it’s not really usable for more than simple shapes. The text-to-CAD feature they highlight is slow and error-prone, so much so that they explicitly use a “prebuilt” version in the tutorial, and each time I tried it, it gave tool errors or took so long I just did it manually.

It’s the symbol to the left of the URL > Show Certificate. They even make it available on iOS Safari (Page Info > Connection Security Details), but if it’s expired, you’ll know by the big red warning page.

Not quite - while you can reduce oxygen levels, they have to be kept within 4pp so at worst, will make you light headed. Many athletes train at the same levels though so it’s easy to overcome.

Gartner claims 25% of the Fortune 500 are currently working to move back to on-prem for the majority of their applications. It’s not sexy so doesn’t appear in tech news as much but it’s happening

I’ve worked in a lot of enterprises on “tiny projects” but never on something that only went to 5 users. In one role I was the sole maintainer of a “small internal tool”…that had 1,000 daily users logging 5 hours/day each.

How much effort was spent automating this to fix 112 instances across Uber’s code base? I assume code reviews would catch any new issues so this seems like overkill for a small one-off task?
