tracking cookies are so obviously beneficial to e-commerce that they passed an entire law to disclose them because people... liked them so much?

Better yet, detect mouse clicks and display a popup right where you clicked that says something you didn't want, and show a busy indicator to make sure the user understands that they just agreed to something important.

No, revenue is a generally accepted business metric. It is normal to discuss revenue without being also compelled to discuss profits at the same time.

> give yhe impression that people are getting rich off of this

CoreCivic is a public company, so we can see that the C-suite each earns over $1m annually in cash compensation. Then, we can look at the insider roster to see that the CEO currently holds over $10 million in stock, the heads of HR and corrections each hold over $5 million, etc.

People should get the impression that people are getting rich off this because people are getting rich off this.


I use the Qwens as a vision model for my DeepSeek V4 Flashes to handle. But the Qwens run on old RTX A6000 Ampere. Does anyone know if there's any news about INT4/AWQ quants for the RTX A6000?

Think the aim is Mars.

I don't know the exact syntax any more, but I expect this could be solved by a single sql query that uses "inexact but close" queries and a bunch of indexes (and perhaps tags) on each category.

I primarily use Claude Web, so my experience differs from cc users, but on Claude web you can no longer completely turn off memory. So what ends up happening (and it honestly is kinda sad) is that I'll start a new conversation with it, start talking about something completely different, and then it will just drop in random things from past conversations, and they aren't even things I wrote but things I asked it to prototype. But it will phrase it like I wrote those things.

These kinds of late design decisions can cost a huge amount of money. And it may cost lives because it's now shoe horned in, less reliable.

These differences are prominent even in the same harness (cursor) in my experience. Opus is wordy to the point of exhaustion, GPT is better, Grok is very direct.

You can add a thinking budget thats not much effort in llamacpp. You can align the cut off message with your agent instructions.

What you describe is a engineering harness problem.

If you, and i mean the royal you, actually read tge thinking traces you can see and figure out where its stuck

This means an effective harness would observe when the model is overthinking and step in with reasonable redirection, like increasing logging.

Llamacpp can set reasoning budget and message per reauest, so it can be dynamic.

Your complaint is "skill issue" based and will be resolved by people who do something ither than vibe code react demos.


i'm quitting smoking and kind of nervous about what it's going to be like taking breaks without having the excuse of a cigarette to get up and stretch my legs and get fresh air. i bought one of those xteink pocket-sized ereaders and i'm thinking maybe carrying that with me outside and reading for a few minutes will be an ok simulation, along with a nicotine lozenge.

The answer is pretty obviously AV1 if you care about delivering content to actual end-users, unless you expect them to be severely bandwidth constrained. AV2 is still not mature from an implementation perspective; I wouldn't consider it ready until at least the dav2d software decoder has had time to mature, which the project page implies is still in a fairly early stage of development (they still list "complete C implementation of the decoder" as a "on-going": https://www-test.videolan.org/projects/dav2d/) and I am not sure if any encoder exists besides the AOM reference implementation (which was notoriously slow for AV1, so I assume the same for AV2). Furthermore it will be years before hardware AV2 decoders and encoders make their way into consumer products (this will likely be further delayed with the current shortages of memory and storage chips causing hardware lifecycles to be extended even more than they already had been over the past decade).

YouTube does something that makes me irate: it saves the abusive autoplay settings only locally per device. There is no way to set it in your account, so every time I log back in I have to disable autoplaying thumbnails and autoplay next video. Every. Single. Time.

I think a lot of people get progressively worn down by things like this, but for me I actually get angrier each time it happens. It's probably good I no longer work at Google because I would probably feel genuinely enticed to find whoever is most responsible for this and engage in psychological warfare.


There's no "we take your word for it" that'll ever happen. Once you've proven you can't regulate yourself, that trust will never be regained with "trust us this time."

Unless they can come up with a system of independent review (e.g. public records visible to all of which cameras were used, when, and by whom), which let's be real -- they never would and I still wouldn't trust, then I'm on the side of whoever's breaking the cameras.


> there is absolutely no way to scroll

Or, at the very least, at a widely different speed/acceleration that you're accustomed to


It's fine to realize that you stepped into this conversation wanting to say "this isn't settled law" but somehow positioned yourself as defending the person insisting "this is settled law."

Perhaps your aversion to perceived dickishness made you misread the situation.


What is even more amazing is how many of Australia's politicians have been in the pocket of coal barons and yet they put up barely any struggle against solar adoption. Compare that to places like California where they've been fighting tooth and nail against green power.

Nice to have web bulb temps available as that is a true measure of comfort level for humans.

I've got an electrical garage door opener, came with the house. We've been here 16 years and the relay has always been sticky: I have to bash the unit with a broom for it to work. One day I'll replace that damn relay.

The entire concept of "for-profit incarceration/detention" should not exist. Such a system only incentivizes cruelty.

Why don't qwen/alibaba host the model themselves? I was looking forward to trying it on their coding plan. Google are the same way with their Gemma models.

Accessibility and disabilty laws are about bringing people up to the level of "normal" people. Expanding that to surpass normal human abilities seems like a bad idea.

thaaanks man, this channel seems really informative, although < 10K subs only !

About 15 years ago I would sometimes spend hours on Google image search discovering childhood toys and filling in vague memories of locations or things. I tried this recently and it’s basically impossible. I actually get to the end of the search results in like 3 minutes and the quality is horrible now.

I think in a lot of ways Google peaked and is now on the decline into a profitable but much less relevant services company.


It seems like developers who champion Rust have a knack for making up a load of nonsense about other languages. Claude Fable knows exactly how to handle things in Go; the most recommended concurrency patterns are mastered by the likes of Sonnet, Opus, or Fable, and most of the concurrency "errors" cited in the Uber article are the sort of mistakes a Go beginner would make.

Wells Fargo went so far as to remove their best feature from their website: the Spending breakdown page! they now say go to the app but the app is far worse than the browser version was before they removed it. i might even stop using them just for this mess.

Probably the lowest paid job where you have to wear a full uniform and people’s lives depend on you (at least, that’s the expectation)

And, as is tradition, are deprived of approximately all the value they produce!
