Log4J is a really good example. You have to rely on the taste of the maintainers to not just include endless additional features.

Perhaps, but I'm curious about what the person meant by "it's always been silly that it prevents derivitive works". AI may have exposed something (although the photocopier could've exposed something similar, so I don't know yet what the problem is) but IP protections are definitely important. As you say, perhaps there will now need to be a way to better protect IP, but that comes with downsides too.

> One is for managing your openai workspace, API, etc

Well, from the page:

> openai images generate --prompt "A tiny orange robot" saves images to ~/Downloads/gpt-images/ and prints their paths, including in pipes.

That doesn't look like "managing the API". It looks like "a consumer product".

I think the real answer is Conway's Law.

> Is 20-30 authors per year making it big really worth the massive suffocation that prevents tens of thousands of authors from writing the stories that are in their hearts?

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm, but just in case it isn't: I don't think anything is preventing people writing the stories in their hearts.

> it's always been silly that it prevents derivitive works.

For example though, if you spend two years writing a novel and I change one word of it and sell it for half what you do, isn't that a problem?

Do you mean you also disagree with the person above saying "Nothing wrong with that"?

> Nothing wrong with that.

There definitely are many things wrong with that, of course. Lighting someone else's money on fire and walking away is highly unethical.

The real question is: what are the motivations for companies to pretend that their AI is world-ending, and what do they want out of the disquiet caused by them saying that?

I wish things like bikes came with mostly-written manuals. Maybe a few diagrams. If anything, things are too pictorial these days.

This is slightly worse than Cloudflare's usual excellent writing.

But that aside - surely this won't help for websites with Google tracking code embedded, which are the sorts of sites that track you anyway?

Has anyone got it running on a Pi?

> or use the money for education

Totally agree. Would love far fewer computers in schools.

I'm also too young to have ever seen one, but I've always liked the SOP for evading an incoming missile: accelerate.

I agree about the JVM. I think the big difference between C# and Java is just that C# has allowed breaking changes, and so has improved various things at the language level. Java hasn't really.

> Uber back in the 2010s was incredible, you could get damn near anywhere for less than 5 bucks or so

Back then the trips were subsidised by VC money, and also the drivers were contractors, so far lower internal costs for Uber.

> What they’re doing with billions of tokens every week, beats me. But these users absolutely do exist.

I think you can just become slightly careless and off it goes. I just have a £20/mo ChatGPT and I'm getting it to do some HomeLab Kubernetes YAML for me that I have no desire to hand-type. I asked it a question and it zoomed off looking at all sorts of websites, running various git commands, doing anything except asking me for an answer to a question.

It ran through about 60% of my 5-hour allocation in those few minutes, which was an unheard-of rate for me before that, and I can imagine if I had zillions of tokens available I just wouldn't have noticed. As it is, my AGENTS.md now exists and is fairly stern.

I have also done those three and we definitely did!

I haven't tried Opus, so perhaps I'm living in ignorance!

Very excited. Watching it with my wife. So glad it didn't have to end early.

I've just got into your videos and they are really excellent. If only I were in the US I might come along.

(Currently adding Flux so my Gitlab k8s things auto-apply to my Homelab. No such thing as too much overkill.)

Yes, fair point. I meant that ground stations don't need to be everywhere Starlink customers are now.

Oh, agreed. I'm only talking about their database.

Yes, I think you're right. It could be I haven't experienced the cutting edge of AI, but it a) doesn't seem there yet, and b) goes off on tangents assuming outcomes of decisions and needing to rewrite things a lot. So I quite like reading the output.

I totally disagree. This perspective only works if you don't care about token cost.

I'm using Astra for some homelab work and I tell it I want to do something and then it burns through a giant percentage of my 5-hour allowance (on the £20/mo subscription) doing that in a really weird way. I've had to tell it to stop zooming off and doing things, calling loads of tools and looking up websites, and just have a quick conversation first. It's much better now, but I've basically just reimplemented plan mode via AGENTS.md.

How are you going to read the code if it's not structured in a way you understand?

Thank you. I took CA8V5VUY1FAMEN1GUL6HP31.

At the start of my fitness journey, so I will check this out!

Not worrying about language rankings.

It's only relatively recently (in the lifespan of large companies) that OSS alternatives have come along that can do much more of what Oracle can do. Oracle was miraculous for a long time. It was also a huge pain to operate (source: I know people who've operated it), particularly in its RAC configuration, but if you could operate it you could run a bank and rely pretty well on Oracle being rock solid.

Their phase one was you have a dish that goes to a satellite, but then that bounces straight back down to a ground station. Phase two was to have satellite-to-satellite comms, which they're doing with lasers. I imagine either some satellites can't do this yet, so ground stations are still needed, or they are using the ground stations for something else.

> but the doctor shouldn't be able to sell my data, nor correlate it with their other patients' data

This definitely happens, at least in the UK. With anonymised data.
