Directionally, that's why companies are getting rid of token leaderboards and imposing limits on LLM costs. There's a diminishing marginal return to tokens

There's limited research on readability of monospaced font. But this study suggests monospace is weakly more readable than variable-width font:

People forget that LLM code cannot be covered by copyright. So LLM code cannot be placed under an open source license

AI or not, the government would benefit from investing more money in improving digital services. Merely slapping an AI onto the existing system will only make things worse. Try using one of the AI hotel receptionists right now to get an idea of what that future looks like.

"Me" in this case being a stand-in for the principal owner, which could be a corporation, individual, or group of individuals

Honestly, there should be laws against gen AI models creating fake media with real individuals. We're going to end up with a massive mess on our hands once the video starts looking more realistic

I've had my ham license for ten years, but I've only ever used a basic car-based mobile setup and my handhelds. My morse code speed is abysmal. QRP and all that are really cool, but I just use ham radio to supplement my fire/ems handheld in a natural disaster.

High quality CPR includes AED usage. 30 compressions to two ventilations. After 2 minutes of CPR, perform a rhythm check with AED and shock if advised. There are existing robots that do chest compressions for you (Zoll AutoPulse, LUCAS). They would work in space I bet.

Google Assistant is/was pretty good...for Google apps. It's useless for anything else. The new Gemini powered version is actually a regression imo

How is address lookup? That's the only bad thing about OSM based apps vs Google Maps in my region (rural Kentucky)

That's strange. It works well on Android in the USA

Oddly enough, my main concern riding in rural Kentucky is loose dogs. The roads are not very suitable to driving at highway speeds and most of my route to the nearest grocery store is sparsely traveled.

As a cyclist, I'm not bothered by someone following me at a safe distance. And if you follow me for 1km or so, I'll pull over and let you pass if it is safe.

I want to point out that legutierr and stef25 had a respectful back and forth here. legutierr pointed out the connotations of lynching and stef25 recognized they could've used better language. I don't see the harm here, just a little reminder of American history.

So if you were in charge of the government, how would you propose regulating these companies? By forcing them to act as a "utility" that has to list every kind of product?

Do I disagree with the Dr. Seuss delisting? Yes. Do I think government regulations would be more harmful than helpful in this case? Yes.

If eBay was a monopoly, I'd be much more concerned (all the more reason for robust anti-trust legislation). But in practice, if you want to sell a Dr. Seuss book, take your business elsewhere.

I was amazed to see gigabit AT&T in the Red River Gorge (Stanton, KY) when I was there last month. I have a feeling the public-owned fiber backbone (Kentucky Wired) has something to do with that level of accessibility
