"This item is not available for purchase in your region"

This is such a bummer. I live in the European Economic Area (EEA)

If this all works, and becomes widely available, I wonder if people would get a lot of health anxiety. Now they can see stuff that is normal, but strange or unexpected.

I’m no doctor by any means, but what if, as an example, an organ fluctuates in size, or composition, naturally. A medical professional would know these things, but a random person off the street might get stressed out and start to panic, or perhaps overcompensate with their diet or something.

I think more data is generally good, but data without context or insight can be problematic.

I really like it. Here is my 2 cent:

- the gravity is weird in my opinion. There is basically a gravity going down the screen. I would have expected there to be some "pull" towards the planets. I get why though, you try to prevent mega-long straight shots upward. Perhaps experiment with some drag, where the ball slows down over time. Or perhaps have the walls be gravity points, pulling the ball towards them.

- i would add a long- press to restart immediately, so restarting is faster.

I can see Apple doing something similar in the future. Just like how they are pivoting away from flat design in their ui, perhaps the time is ready for a more "organic" design. Wonder what marketing term they would use

I believe this stuff is straight up illegal in the EU. And also: "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” - IBM Training Manual, 1979[1]

So, are we way into diminishing returns for these models at this point? If so, I think we can calculate when it will be available at home. Given this requires a GB200 NVL72 which has about 1,440 PFLOPS, the current 5090 chip has about 1,676 TFLOPS, so about a 1000x scale-up to the GB200. If we can assume Moores law, which might be broken, but still. We are looking at log2(1000) = 9.96, or about 10 years.

I agree, but if there were a common place where everyone did the registration once, it might be less of a problem. Something similar to the «verified» accounts on twitter etc.

I can imagine GitHub becoming this filter somehow

I wonder if there is a way to blanket prevent these types of problems.

Possible solutions I can think of:

- Require an account with a paid service. Fix = require money - Require an account verified with real ID/passport etc. Fix = link to real person - Automated reply system to "waste tokens" if it is an AI that is responding. Fix is increased cost of spammer. - Have some kind of "vetting system" where you get on an allowed list to report these types of things. Seems not good to me, but perhaps there is something in it.

I wonder how much open source code is lost because maintainers must deal with this type of thing versus the "good" that AI can bring in productivity.

Are there a total ad time percentage metric in this law too, or will they simply be watching many more smaller ads?

I fairly recently tried to ask a question on SO because the LLMs did not work for that domain. I’m no beginner to SO, having some 13k points from many questions and answers. I made, in my opinion, a good question, referenced my previous attempts, clearly stating my problem and what I tried to do. Almost immediately after posting I got downvoted, no comments, a close- suggestions etc. A similar thing happened the last two times I tried this too. I’m not sure what is going on over there now, but whatever that site was many years ago, it isn’t any more. It’s s shame, because it was such a great thing, but now I am disincentivized to use it because I lose points each time I tip my toes back in.

Most problems in most distros are solvable with enough knowhow and enough research time. That time investment is not always worth it in a commercial context. It is a fairly known amount of time to reinstall a distro and get back up and running, and an unknown amount of time to fix an exotic Linux problem.

Many seem to be interested in knowing my distro. I’m not interested in throwing shade on a distro in particular, but it is one of the bigger and well known ones.

I’m not trying to cast shade on a distribution in particular. I’m using one of the big ones. If you have not had any of these problems, great!

Shameless self promotion, but I 80% vibe- coded a pip package for interfacing with LLMs right from the terminal. ‘pip install lask’. It has helped me a lot since it works from the terminal regardless of what the graphics drivers are doing.

I have been working professionally on Linux for many years. But about once a year I have to reinstall the os because it craps out for various reasons. The same story goes for most of my team, but for some reason they seem ok with this. My issue with Linux is this: I don’t feel like a consumer, but a janitor. I don’t want this. Yes you can do whatever you want, but I don’t want to do those things. I want to write code and play games, not maintain the intricacies of a running computer.

For a server there is no better choice than Linux, but for my desktop/laptop, I find other alternatives better. Perhaps I haven’t found «the right distro», if so let me know, but until Linux is as low maintenance as windows or macos, it will be for those with an interest in doing that maintenance.

I realize I have a love-hate relationship with Linux. It is perfect, but flawed.

I love semantic html. It feels so much more modern and efficient than all of these fashion-driven front end tools.

Just implement exponential backoff for slow requests logging, or some other heuristic, to control it. I definitely agree it is a concern though.

Does anyone have a link to the source of the statement without a paywall in front? I could not see any reference to this 150M$ anywhere.

Makes some sense that the owner can't just eavesdrop on every conversation on the platform. That is very illegal many places in the world.
