Flailing. I hope its because he fears for his job and not because he senses yet another price-fixing scandal on the horizon.

ehhhh I'm not a corgi stan but I'd bet they just took the design & copy, which is totally fine imo. Often better to just take another's design instead of spend a bunch of cycles figuring out flow. This is doubly true for secondary pages/layouts/features.

If I were them, I'd have changed copy and probably done some internal testing to smooth rough edges/improve where needed but sounds like they're moving as quickly as possible.

If they did just copy paste code, straight to jail...

The country has changed massively through voting in the last 25 years. I would rather not change to a system where political groups attack others with guns and bombs to change things, because that's the alternative you're proposing.

Touch grass, find a significant other, and build a life.

I think there's evolution at play here - if you dislike AI enough to opt out of using any ai-generated code, you will likely suffer. I think there's definitely a conversation to be had about whether to disclose AI use or not but that's a separate issue if you assume that everyone is using it in some respect.

Tried everything and love 1pass. Dont want to have to think about it too much.

I think this is tentatively good for bitwarden - making money means you can more easily invest in the team and product. Counter to the prevailing notion in comments here, I much prefer a vc/paid product for security-critical tools.

Hope they didn't wait too long before deciding to kill the free tier.

Good for them. Much easier to build a great product if you're making money from it. I tried bitwarden a while ago but ended up going with dashlane for a few years. I'm on 1password now and really like it but more competition is always better.

This is clickbait meant to make you angry - the move has been planned for more than ten years, well before datacenter power usage was an issue. NV Energy has made it clear that they're ending their wholesale agreement and for some reason, Liberty and Cali/Nevada have made no effort to fill the gap.

If you're pissed or worried about this, write your state reps and demand more power gen. Nuclear, solar, geothermal, whatever floats your boat - we need to build more of it all around.

Kimi nowhere close to opus on extended use but definitely highly competitive with sonnet. I will probably end up using kimi for personal stuff when I find some time to get it running or get a non-anthropic/openai harness set up on my personal machine.

I think its two systems masquerading as one - employed-and-insured and everyone else.

If you're the former, it works great. If you're the latter, it can be mediocre to BRUTAL. Medical debt is our #1 or 2 cause of bankruptcy iirc.

Regardless of which class you are, if you can access the care, our outcomes are the best in the world for most things.

If you can successfully integrate with quest/labcorp and one or two of the big ehrs, i will happily pay double what you're charging.

after reading it, it's super positive and really great. I wouldn't consider myself the target audience for this, but ill probably work it into my morning practice a little for a couple weeks.

Yes, it's been insane. Hitting limits by noon since late last week. Not even using opus 4.6 with 1mm context, just normal opus and a bit of sonnet/haiku.

I hate these types of study because yea, in general people are really moral and want the right things but when it comes down to specifics, very few people are voting for a new nuclear plant near their house (I would love to vote yes on this).

Finally someone's taking another swing at this. Can't even remember what MSFTs last pmr tool was called but I used it and it was decent enough.

I've been wanting something like this for ages so let's hope this one works.

I did not expect there to be any bright spots but I hope this turns into one of those things (like the 2002 AUMF) that just lasts so long we see benefits from it and eventually kill the underlying blockers.

Hey just a heads up that your resume link is broken! Looks like it was truncated somewhere.

I don't think this changes the dynamic one bit. Every subscription product still optimizes for engagement. Then there's the free speech aspect - sure it's easy to say "we don't want to see cigarette ads"- what about your local mom n pop restaurant buying ads to try and get more people to eat in?

The primordial domino tile is human nature, which you're not going to knock over. The solution is probably closer to what China does - punish companies that don't prioritize/train algos to prioritize the values we hold dear. Basically, just keep beating meta and bytedance until they decide to get their timelines out of the politics game and into the education game, for example, or the democracy game, or whatever your country's main issues are.

I think there's definitely room to regulate "divisiveness" though, and that's a little clearer than "addictive design".

I just don't get why anyone is still arguing against age verification tbh. Large social spaces are required by law to do it, whether its discord or matrix or anywhere that allows strangers to interact.
