Meta provides inference to itself, and the 3.58 billion DAUs across its services.

Unless you are selling lines of code, or math theorems, that's going to be the case.

I'm guessing "most companies" are actually selling something that isn't constrained by the types of things that AI code generators unlock.

The costs are not high. It's the prices that are too high.
I posted it on my subspace story.

Because that's not how software features work?

You don't ask, "Hey, I don't have a printer, please disable the Print feature in MS word."

No, you just... don't click that button.

Re:CNC Stone Carving on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @11:51AM (#50275716)
Not that I disagree, but I want to confirm: you are suggesting the reason (or one of the reasons) they chose to do stone carving, as opposed to some other form of monastic pursuit, was because it took a lot of time and effort?
Listen to the NYT Daily episode about this.

tldr, the govt (not the court) decides whether it is terrorism or not, which elevates misdemeanor into decades long felony conviction.

The J6 crowd was not charged with terrorism.

Re:'Forced out': HOA fees to rise to $2,500 a month on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @11:18PM (#50268949)
> The homeowners say the developer, who owns the majority of the houses, controls the HOA.

It's a 51% attack in real life.

That sentiment seems to fail the test with reality, because you have people following the rules and behaving perfectly normally (like the subject in this story) who end up getting scrutinized anyway. That's a recipe for increasing anti-social behavior. After all, why bother following the rules if it doesn't keep me out of trouble?
Your comment somehow got quashed.

Re:Switzerland. Block by block. At 1:1 scale on Monday October 26, 2026 @09:52AM (#50243729)
People have been doing this for a LONG TIME

Here's a video of Yosemite Valley from 2014:

> the account had been created using Smith's Social Security number and date of birth

This may be enough to open an investigation and start gathering more evidence, but doesn't satisfy probable cause. The cops and court screwed up.

A database match is not enough to confirm that this specific person (may have) committed the crime.

It would be like sending a ransom note asking the money be sent to Joe Smith, 123 Fake St. That doesn't really tell you anything about Joe Smith's connection to the crime. It's completely incidental.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In any case, most actual fighting will be done by small robots, and as you go forth today remember your duty is clear: to build and maintain those robots.
Why bother breaking through the glass front, when most places of business have a very obvious back door just waiting.

Well those people can buy a YubiKey for $30 I guess. I don't see why that's a big issue.
