Oh wow, I looked it up. Employee's get to sell up to 10% on day 1. That's cool for them.

Employee shares usually get put in a 3-6 month lockdown so they don't get to participate in the bubbly robinhood excitement.

What is not cheap these days is authoritative trustable curated information.

Ha! you can't try to enforce the definition of a new phrase, language evolves naturally. At least with "open source" there was the dubious claim that OSI had gotten their first and had trademarked it. But now you have nothing except wanting free things with no strings attached.

A 10M window would require dozens of GPUs (or TPUs) dedicated to each query. That is something that Google could afford internally but wouldn't be able to scale to an external product.

It's mostly corporations that are the most free to do as they please here.

Imagine performing literally trillions of matrix multiplications in order to figure out the answer to 1 + 2.

The law should require that if a company sells hardware that depends on an internet service, and later discontinues that service, it must open-source the communication protocol and provide a way to connect the hardware to alternative services. This requirement should cover every feature that was functional when the device was sold.

Fortunately Nest owners got lucky this time and there was an escape hatch that allowed projects like No Longer Evil. But there's a long list of devices that have been bricked when their manufacturers shut down a proprietary backend.

Our system consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

That's why it was so important for the US to lead when it was the superpower that had the authority, respect and most influence over institutions of international cooperation. We're in the process of throwing all those accomplishments of the 20th century away. We used to be the good guys.

That has been the recent trend in California with several laws restricting local development power.

I understand Spanish being from Latin America but for a long time I couldn't understand a single thing he said because of the Spaniard accent and crazy laughter, and I enjoyed the memes just fine. But then few years ago I watched it with the real subtitles and something clicked in my brain so now when I watch it I mostly understand him fine. But now the memes are ruined because it's hard to hear and read two speeches at the same time. Just an annecdote about our weird brains.

The robots are going to be controlled by the same billionaires that make employees pee in bottles or fire hundreds on a whim over tweets.

Our labor power is going to be fully eroded and the robots will not be serving us.

Especially difficult to walkback since bribes are basically legal now because once an industry establishes itself it starts buying off politicians.

This is true. During the late Bill Clinton era the arguments for normalizing trade with China were

1) more economic engagement would somehow make China democratic

2) an economically integrated China would be more interested in maintaining international stability

3) WTO membership would force China to follow trade rules

That's silly. Why can't a hobby be something you want to show others and receive acknowledgement and validation from?

As someone with a different chronic ailment I've come around more toward fuck the doctors than the forum posters. The only relief I've ever gotten after seeing literally dozens of doctors over the last 10 years has come from tips from forum posts and more recently LLM chats. Doctors tend to stick with whatever standards their insurance or the FDA has come up with and then just throw up their hands if that doesn't work. You do have to be careful of all the quack influencers and hucksters out there. But in my experience you have to become your own expert, read all the science papers, follow every lead, and force your will around the healthcare bureaucracy. I'm currently importing quality of life altering meds from Indian pharmacies that my doctor refuses to prescribe because it's off label. YMMV.

> We don’t know where this technology advance will lead or settle

Things are not settling, it's only acceleration from here on out. In fact things have never settled, technology has been on an exponential since humans tamed fire. The difference is we notice change faster. It used to take several human lifetimes to notice change. In the 20th century it was noticeable within a lifetime. Since the internet there has been a great revolution about every decade: web, smartphone, social media. But now great changes are noticeable within a year. It's not enough time for society to digest and adapt.

> we need less people and that’s why population is declining

This is the scary part. The Elon and Zuckerberg types that control the new powerful machines have proven they are not moral people. In America's highly billionaire-deferential culture there is no stopping them, at some point they'll be out of reach of democratic or even military control once they control private robot armies. They could decide to accelerate the decline of the undesirable useless population. Amazingly humanity's salvation could end up being China's communist system.

I'm not sure if "lobbied 50 million dollars" is even grammatically correct.

Isn't it better for society if retirees downsize to a retirement community and allow young families to move in to the neighborhood with schools and amenities?

Depends on the jurisdiction. I've lived in both, budget based rates like you describe (Minnesota), and fixed rates with market based assessments (D.C.). I wonder which is more common.

Silicon Valley and other venture backed enterprises also regularly dump into various markets without consequences.

He's not threatening. Demand is exploding and supply just can't keep up.

He's not prioritizing high prices. Demand is exploding and supply can't keep up. Everybody in the world that can is already trying to ramp up production.

Huh? The target variable is revenue.

I have a friend in his 30s that always wears a suit, to work, to the club, to hanging with friends. He is one of the more successful people I know as far as both quick career climbing and getting phone numbers of women he approaches.

It's weird how the discussion on this rarely mentions Trump's giant 2017 and 2025 tax cuts, plus the insane increase in military spending. Somehow it's always about we need to cut entitlements.

People need to study this graph https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFSD and think about what changed when.

For some of us OpenAI is already the new Google. I prefer chatgpt even when I'm searching for web links. Google Search had already been deteriorating terribly even before the rise of LLMs.

It's political speech. If they own and censor all the marketing and distribution channels do we really have free speech?
