Whenever someone uses the word "fair" about taxes, I assume they mean we should reverse course on the decades-long pattern of reducing the tax burden on companies and the wealthiest individuals here in America.
Fair taxation isn't a punishment. Paying taxes is what responsible citizens do. It's an act of patriotism and pride.
I came into this thread with the same question in mind. Then I looked at the poster, who created their account less than an hour ago. I'm going to move on to something else now.
I wish I could be surprised by this revelation. Not going to happen.
I am, however, mildly impressed by the commitment to petty, spiteful, and vindictive behavior across the Administration. It's more than a shtick. It's a lifestyle choice.
To be clear, this is not a law. It's a subtle and important distinction. Laws are passed by Congress. This was an order from the Executive Branch. It's meant to be used in a moment of crisis, as a temporary solution that gives Congress enough time to create a law that can persist into the future.
All of that to say, we don't know who gets to decide what LLM-services can be exported or not. We're in a curious moment where the traditional norms and customs that guided the US democratic for the past 50+ years don't function as intended.
My background is in computer science and linguistics. I wholeheartedly agree with you: We humans are dubiously-equipped to determine whether or not AI could be conscious.
I'm also super curious to learn more about the philosophers you referenced and their thoughts on this subject. Would you be willing to share some of your favorite examples?
My dude, this level of vitriol and hyperbole feels excessive. It's okay if you don't like Anthropic and you disagree with their business practices, but this is over-the-top even for the internet.
The split on ticket price between studio and theater operators is usually around 50% for the opening period. The window scales towards the theater's benefit over time, usually going to about 75% in favor of the operator.
That said, you're 100% right about making an offer. Most theaters have underutilized screening rooms, and managers have the ability to rent for private events. I've done this a few times. The rental rate tends to be about 10-15x the price of a single ticket (in my experience).
Proton is building great products. I'm a genuine enthusiast of their work.
In their official blog post, there is a hidden gem.
The text reads: "We recently introduced improved connection preferences that allowed you to permanently exclude specific countries, cities, and states from Fastest Country and Random connections on Android."
The accompanying photo lists three banned locations: Russia, Turkmenistan, and Florida.
Finally, some excellent news that honors the contributions of a (once) living creature that made the world a better place (presumably without conflicting ulterior motives).
You might want to recalibrate your cynicism meter. As strange it might sound, most companies act according to their principles when the founding team is at the helm. The garbage policies tend to materialize once the company is purchased by, or merged into, another entity where the leadership doesn't care about the original aim of the organization. They just want "line go up".
Also, it makes sense that OpenAI feels the pressure of getting to an IPO because of their financial structure. I don't know whether or not Anthropic operates under a similar set of influences (meaning it could be either, I just don't know.)
Good night, sweet reputation and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Seriously though, I appreciate this perspective. While I prefer using a browser whenever possible, I'm well aware of modern fingerprinting techniques. But I didn't know about permission "sharing" between apps in the same browser. Thanks!
Privacy and security have always been a game of cat and mouse. Doesn't seem like that's going to change anytime soon.
Based on the evidence presented by the Hacker News front page, the hype is boundless. Rust is the ur-language that we never realized until... idk, three years ago?
I don't know when it will be included as part of the subscription in Claude Code, but at least it's a paid add-on in the MAX plan now. That's a decent alternative for situations where the extra space is valuable, especially without having to setup/maintain API billing separately.
Agreed. And this technique becomes more effective as the number of people using it increases. It's easy to match up randomized fingerprints if only one person is doing it, but quite hard when thousands or millions are doing it.
