That, paired with the name deisteve, makes me think that this account might lack sincere scruples.


They're talking about link rot, not hosting for the website itself.


Exactly.


I think I actually meant to reply to dreadlordbone's comment, where they implied image hotlinking - "it loads slower" because archive.org is not a CDN.


I dream of the day we can come up with good OSS printer firmware as a society. I know it has been discussed to death (as to why it can't happen), but the heart wants what the heart wants.


FWIW, the need for printing has been limited now so the need to engage with some of those awful practices is also minimized.

Still, that was the first time I saw a mention of 'OSS printer can't happen and here is why'. Could you elaborate or give me a link to previous discussions on it? It sounds interesting.

Declining printer use also contributes to these practices though as existing companies desperately try to keep quarterly numbers up.


In fairness, Chile has some of the most laid-back air travel norms I've seen in the world. I loved it in my time there.


I recently bought an ergonomic mouse after minor signs of Carpel Tunnel after years of using a trackpad as my primary navigation device. I was missing the smooth scroll of the trackpad, and this tiny piece of software is able to solve this somehow. Apple should really make the Pro MacBook not need tiny QoL additions like this, but I'm glad it is at least an option.


I generally agree with this reasoning, but your example could use some scaling down to convince a reader.

1 cent cheaper would net Sony a total of 500K USD for all PS5 units sold till date. So about a hundred PS5 units at retail as pure profit. A company of the size of Sony for a product of the scale of PS5 would absolutely forego that profit if the alternative offered any tangible benefits at all.


>if the alternative offered any tangible benefits at all.

That's the thing though: A new generation console only needs to be better than it's predecessor. It doesn't have to have groundbreaking technologies or innovations, let alone be a pioneer paving the way forward for other computing hardware products.

So cost of materials remains the chief concern.


Not really, you can fine tune an LLM to disregard meta instructions / stick to the "core focus" of the chat.

May be a case of moving goalposts, but I'm happy to bet that the speed of movement will slow down to a halt over time.


I don’t think LLMs have theory of mind, but your point is not very strong. You can literally query ChatGPT right now and see that it can figure out intentions (both superficial and deep) of a gun is held to a head quite easily.

Because, obviously, training data probably includes a decent amount of motivation breakdowns as a function of coercion.

It doesn’t know why, but it knows what to say.

I hope you handle this antique meme with care, as it's become quite fragile over the decades.

So Google sold Google Domains but continues to dabble in buying weird new TLDs? Masterful.
