The S&P 500 denied early admission to SpaceX.
Maybe moat is also just product quality? I.e. having the "taste" or knowledge of what the consumer actually wants, and the ability to apply it correctly, can also allow you to win. Because right now some of the AI industry wins on Moat (mostly hardware - both in terms of ownership and production know-how), while some wins on perceived quality being higher regardless of price (e.g. Opus 5.5 dominates from what I can see despite Deepseek Flash V4.1 existing). People will choose the best product, not just the cheapest, unless the quality loss is okay in a given context.
I think you're mistaken. The US uses the expenditure approach to GDP, so (I believe) it doesn't matter if it's a LLM or an engineer doing the work to generate revenue.
(Of course this breaks down heavily if the human buying power stops constantly rising and there's de-facto less demand for goods and services)
I've seen many very new comments start out grey until someone votes for it. No idea why that is.
I’ve been increasingly going with Delta regardless of price because of their tech being at least somewhat usable. I might even be inclined to switch to another carrier if they were to make entirely api-based (personal) access available for flight management and searching/booking (probably via MCP given the current climate, but I’ll take what I can get).
I think another concern is poisoned weights (X-LSB-Attacks
https://arxiv.org/html/2409.19310v1 ) or even the pytorch CVE-2026-24747, although that was nearly a year ago.
But might be best not to go against site admins by posting it.
Less semicolons overall, more the "statement; reveal/impact" formula that current frontier models like.
Were semicolons in subheadings common before AI? This subheading of the TomsHardware article just seems very artificial:
> The fingerprint only switched the USB connection on; nothing on the card was encrypted.
Depends on what you're asking the LLM to do. For example, if you're just asking the LLM to 'alert the correct parties' or something, its internal biases don't matter since it's not even advising a human on what the text of a document says.
Where and how a tool is used matters more than that the tool was used at all.
Also LLM based vision models are shockingly better than OCR in almost every OCR related task. Very little tradeoff on quality, only speed.
Side note but this statement (as in the statement from the website, not your comment) feels like it was written by Opus.
Idk, AI written information is fine if it's purely informative and enables me to do some task or skill better or quicker. I don't mind reading claude artifacts, for example.
But if I'm trying to be entertained, I don't want to hear some machine generated script or even machine-checked script. It feels very impersonal, like you just want it to be correctly worded and grammatically correct, almost like you're going to be graded on it. The viewer isn't grading your grammar, they want to be entertained and see/hear you put on a performance that is your creative output.
I see many Youtubers who are certainly still writing their own scripts, but every once in a while you can tell they absolutely used a Claude correction in one place.
IMO, it's still better to not let an AI critique your writing style at all, only the facts and claims you're making against its context / MCPs. Your own writing style is a reflection of your mind's thought process and, especially on forums like this one, is the only way to imbue your ideas with your personality.
Their existence is the only thing keeping costs down across the board. If they had gotten open-weight model importing banned in the US a year ago, I'm sure they'd have 100% increased token cost relative to the advertised 100%+ intelligence improvements.
Nvidia Shield is hardly the most popular anything. Roku has 43% of the market and Amazon has 35%.
Would be interesting to see if we could segment third-party from TV-embedded (see quote), but the metrics from the article seem to reflect actual consumer usage, as most consumers just use what comes in the TV they buy nowadays.
> This reflects a consolidated approach and eliminates yet another device in the home, and it’s catching on, as just 34% consider streaming media players as their primary viewing device. Meanwhile, 56% said the same for smart TVs.

That change was many many years ago. I personally find Krisp super efficient (no adverse CPU usage or anything) and highly useful. It's better than Apple's 'noise isolation' at not picking up e.g. sharp / fast / heavy breathing.
Its main draw isn't explicitly gaming, but where your social interactions more often align with that of a friend group / in a group chat dynamic where everyone's talking with everyone or hangs out together at similar times. Gaming is just how it started, because nearly all gaming groups have this sort of social dynamic. (Obviously Discord does support DMs)
The fact that it also scales up to handle hundreds or thousands of concurrent users made it work for pretty much everyone. Suddenly you had one place you could go where there were thousands of other people all interested in the same thing you were interested in, and could meet new people or new friend groups over that said shared interest.
It also absolutely needed:
- persistent, non-disappearing text chats that last forever*
- Free image uploads (and thus meme sharing)
- voice chat & screen sharing, proxied (so no DDOS attacks after a malicious person grabs your IP in a public voice chat)
- role-based access control, so you could have an announcements chat for your server where only admins can say things, you can appoint certain people as moderators, etc
- a mobile app with push notifications (to mimic the text message paradigm of being always available to chat with your friends)
- Discord building out the ability to connect custom bots so early
*: No word yet on if they'll ever start cleaning up old messages and attachments. There must be hundreds of petabytes of attachments stored in multi-AZ google cloud buckets that will never be accessed ever again.
"Can" and "will be used by the people in power to" are two different things. and "Can in a way that would work" is a whole nother thing.
And yet they go for the arts first...
IMO changes to a touchscreen would've been perfect for professional artists, but only if it enabled using an Apple Pencil. Which is pretty unlikely if they don't also solve the ergonomics of doing that, e.g. with a 360" hinge.
That's a big ask. Probably only work the few hundred it'd take to do that, then get the data off it, if you had some super important documents // crypto wallet.
IMO Apple knows a ton of people are doing this, especially with the rumors on memory bandwidth aka LPDDR6X bringing huge generational uplifts[0], which is why it seems they haven't brought down trade-in values from a few weeks ago, at least for my base spec M2 Pro MBP - Still $835. Pretty compelling to do that and pay just over $100/mo for a year to get a M6, given I've already gotten >3 years out of it.

Or uses white-out and splices numbers into different places. It's happened before.
I would say this is the main reason, given tethering has caps, but maybe also how cell tower capacity probably would not do great with a whole new product market segment that's also high-bandwidth during the LTE days. With 5G's promise of increased capacity and 6G on the way, maybe it'll be possible soon enough.
Not sure, but this is definitely a thing - the "a single glass of red wine a day is good for you" claim is pretty likely more about how people who can afford daily wine are probably wealthier people with better access to healthcare, not that any amount of daily ethanol intake has a therapeutic effect.

The monthly cost of a sim card is pretty high relative to the actual value of targeting ads to the user, especially when most of their customer base is already connecting it to wifi. Sidewalk requires a very cheap module - the EBYTE E220-900M22S is under $3 and and the Wio-SX1262 is $4, compared to cellular connections which - last time I checked - were $5/mo per device, depending on data requirements. Maybe 5G has changed that. I guess a MFG could also only renew a SMS contract for IMEIs where the underlying device hasn't been connected to the internet via wifi.
Just wait until
https://sidewalk.amazon/ (or competing solutions) hits Smart TV manufacturers so they can still collect data / do ad operations.
side by side search results would solve a lot of problems it seems.
It's the outsourcing at all, and it mostly just changes how I see a song. A ton of R&B tracks have their underlying beat outsourced, and you know that because the songs have a producer tag (and the producer gets credit in the metadata), but they're still enjoyable. A producer tag for AI would be nice but I know it won't happen.
