Well that's alright then, others are allegedly doing the same crime, he should be allowed to commit it in actual fact.
You still pay input tokens for Jev. "Should I crash this train, YES/NO?"

Macbook Air mid-2012 here. 8GB. I use Nixos without a desktop env, this little machine refuses to die or become obsolete. I have a 3090 in a desktop for messing around with LLMs but that's headless.

No the company owns the IP. You own the blame.
Just wanted to make sure nobody got the impression that they weren't making things up!
Plenty of people above are explaining why that wouldn't work. Basically 100x idiots don't always add up to one mediocre <noun>.
Sonnet 5.5 refused to implement code using selenium/firefox to scrape a webpage on my laptop after we got a 403 from a cloud-based IP. I made that clanker generate datasets for the rest of the week to use up my weekly usage that would have been wasted.
> they accuse our senators of having been financed by Americans.

Oh no, they pointed out things that are happening: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/30/trump-state-...

> There are probably certain humans who would follow commands as given, perhaps a child or child-like?

Running the court system?

It's all about consent, isn't it, we don't consent to advertising in every public space and yet we can't get away from it.
Claude managed to get idf v6 to work in a docker container, but I've ripped that out now. would you say that most of the issues you had with the p4 was the board, rather than the underlying cpu? the one I have in mind is more this sort of thing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009278783008.html (as opposed to a SBC like the rpi).
Is it a bit odd that it keeps happening to democrats? Does this ever happen to maggats?
Could you explain for those of us who are a bit slower? Why would the absence of a rich sugar daddy for python be evidence that it can't be done?
Thanks! I too am going baremetal, as I prefer 5 second builds to 45 minutes - but yes the board sounds like a bit of a pain...
Hi, Could you say a few words what makes this board tricky? I've wanted to get one for a similar reason as the OP, although I'm thinking a scheme-like VM with GUI.

I'm closing this down as duplicate and pointless.
Yes, the law is an ass.
This is not idiocracy. It's the prequel. In idiocracy, they understood that they were dumb and put the smart guy in charge.
This looks like the classic "AI can do everybody else's job but mine still needs me".

I know knowledge workers who throw what you give them into the slop machine and return the slop, but I don't need them, I can feed the slop machine myself. I still need those who have experience and taste that the machine hasn't got yet.

Couldn't they just build a runway there for the private jets?
I was referring to the comment about private vs public funding. Yes, the only relevant fact is about the morality of hiding knowledge behind exorbitant pay walls. Academics submit papers freely, and sometimes pay for the privilege, peer reviewers work for free, and then the rent seekers charge everybody to read it. It's immoral. I agree.
> he was again concealing his actions because he knew they were wrong.

No, you conceal your actions if you believe others will try to stop you. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.

What annoys me is that when I asked Claude to use code I had already written with selenium to scrape a web page, it refused and told me it wasn't going to get into an arms race with cloudflare. One rule for them and another for us.
Eh, I assume the humanities are a tiny portion of the funding for academia. Their equipment is what, coloured pencils and expensive tea? Hardly anything compared to a large hadron collider.

Cries in mid2012 mac book air. This one refuses to die, and it does everything I need except LLMs (but I have a desktop with a 3090), so I'm stuck with it...
The only issue right now is that the "free press" begins l belongs to the few. Their purpose is mostly to entertain and drive up antagonism towards the enemies du jour.

The rocket equation is a very harsh mistress.

The waiting list for your mri is going to be very long.

There are other sources of energy. With helium, once it's gone, there's nothing to replace it.
