My first torrent was 21 years ago. Long since deleted.

The companies who sell these bypass devices spend time on graphene too, don’t worry.

The price of iOS exploits would suggest Apple’s doing a pretty good job in this area.

Back to the devices (Apple with some local AI), but that’s not exactly revolutionary.

As someone adjacent to the medical field I’m surprised they try to push 100mL through the arm at all. It’s a large volume for a relatively small vein, but it is probably easiest to hit I suppose.

Doctors can’t be involved in the injection (Hippocratic Oath), so they end up with unqualified (potentially sociopathic) individuals doing the medical aspect of the work. It’s inhumane and barbaric.

That is very true in my experience as well. But it is an anchor, at least.

Too many businesses are forgoing the (fairly trivial) cost of a domain and website and setting up Facebook instead.

One bad decision and you’ve lost the customer facing presence.

I’d like to see Trump stand for 15 minutes.

I see it as an extension of the PC combined with the Internet and hardware advances. It certainly changed the Internet and our society. But I’ll leave it to historians to fight over!

Also many of the skills for building your private cloud have been forgotten or retired because Amazon and azure.

The Internet was a slow burn starting in the 1960s and gaining momentum through one of humanity’s most productive generations into the 80s and beyond, spurred on by personal computing. Mobile was a (retrospectively) natural continuation.

LLMs have been around for a very long time but they’re just forcing the issue with a product that’s not yet compelling enough to justify its enormous cost. It’s like waiting for the iPhone and the App Store to make smartphones ubiquitous.

The exhaustion is the point, but the tech companies are amplifying the power.

“Look how low our cost of inference is”

“Pay no attention to the marketing budget that exceeds Coca-Cola’s for a small fraction of their revenues”

What technical, fundamental reason is there for the crash in price? The article just accepts the MSRP as fact. It’s established fact that retail prices can be dropped below cost in order to establish market dominance. The cost of training can indeed be spread over time but it’s not spread across enough time (between model releases)The inference cost doesn’t actually drop in reality.

I want him in prison before he dies. It’s nice to dream, because I doubt anyone will pay for their actions under the regime.

Spot on. Regulatory capture is not usually this transparent.

They also did a pretty aggressive clearing of house in the earlier 2020s (something like 2022?) of senior employees and their RTO has also cleared some senior people.

The process knowledge that these people have is irreplaceable.

TIL expressVPN started as

Crossrider started off by making a SDK for the deployment of browser extensions platforms with support for monetizing extensions. The monetization options were used by major [ad injectors which used man-in-the-browser to change or add advertisements to what users saw.

JFC.

It’ll be interesting to see this litigated; force majeure isn’t often cited and my non lawyer understanding says it’s more natural disaster or war than “the power company won’t hook us up”

The American stock market is disproportionately inflated by AI. Without it, the recession would be evident. When number go up, people keep jobs. When numbers go down, unaffected management lays people off just in case.

Also, no worker protections, boss could decide tomorrow you’ve been replaced with an AI. Whether it works or not is his problem but feeding yourself and family remains yours.

They can all draw from company documents and data, remember their decisions, and trace back reasoning for that if you want to follow up on why they decided to do certain things.

Things that real executives won’t do.

I think the SEO blogspam was already contributing to brain rot but not to the extent that 5 years of AI generated blogspam ingested to the models, fed to people without critical thinking abilities.
