I don’t think it works. Search is the perfect place for ads for exactly the reasons you state: people have high intent.

But a majority of chatbot usage is not searching for the solution to a problem. And if he Chatbot is serving the ads when I’m using it for creative writing, reformatting text, having a python function, written, etc, I’m going to be annoyed and switch to a different product.

Search is all about information retrieval. AI is all about task accomplishment. I don’t think ads work well in the latter , perhaps some subset, like the task is really complicated or the AI can tell the user is failing to achieve it. But I don’t think it’s nearly as could have a fit as search.
I would think satellite observations would have thoroughly mapped the immediate subsurface by now regardless of it being hard to explore conventionally.
Well, there is a difference with Russia, actually. One of Palestinian professors, who studied freedom of speech, shaped it this way:
The difference is that people from Russia, Arab countries etc DO know that their media is lying - but also they know the Western media is lying, because they read all that nonsense the westerners write about their countries.

Good for you that you started to realize how corrupt the Western media is.

It seems like there's a healthy dose of "because it can be done" in play here, but also because there are a lot of platforms that are not supported by Rust where a Rust-to-C converter that generated standard-enough code could be used to bridge the gap.
Sequential consistency without borders: D1 implements global read replication
My issue with eventsource is it doesn't use standard auth. Including the jwt in a query string is an odd step out requiring alternate middleware and feels like there is a high chance of leaking the token in logs, etc.

I'm curious though, what is your solution to this?

Secondly, not every client is a browser (my OpenAI / fine tune example is non-browser based).

Finally, I just don't like the idea of things failing all time with something working behind the scenes to resolve issues. I'd like errors / warnings in logs to mean something, personally.

Common people across the board have been sick and tired of the establishment since 2000ish. First it was the tea party, then they voted for Obama because a younger black guy talking about change seemed credible, then occupy wall street, then Maga, then 2020/BLM, then Maga round 2. While these movements have all been coopted to various extents by various bits of the establishment power structure the underlying trend and common theme that is minting these (at least initially) grassroots is very clear and with each round the movements seem to gain a broader base. People of all political positions seek an alternate to the establishment.

If people could pull their heads out of their partisan asses they'd see this. The color of the dictator may as well be the result of a coin toss. This is the result of a long term trend.

First off, you won't convince me these folks don't belong in jail. I just dont' think anything less than serious criminal penalties is going to get us anywhere anymore.

But at the same time, i guess i'll be contrarian and say the other notable bit to me is that the person wants the absolute best doctors working on her, at the absolute best place possible because they pioneered the technique. I get why. But it's not necessarily reasonable. Obviously, if her cases needs that, she should get it. But it's really unclear from the article - is her case one that any competent surgeon could do, or only these surgeons can do. It does say they pioneered one technique, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones who do it or are good at it. She just says "i want the people who teach other people working on me", which certainly resonates with lots of people (i'm sure that's why it's there), but also, probably too high of a standard?

In the end - the absolute best of everything is expensive. Very expensive. I doubt a system can afford to have that happen for everyone, even if the insurers were not evil fraudsters. So even if we ever fix the insurer side, I think we will also have to fix the patient expectation side around standards of care.
Single payer isn’t communism because there is no payment. In communist healthcare The government owns every aspect of the market, healthcare providers are employees. Single payer the provider is free to open a practice just and send the bill to the government. It’s not quite elastic as free market since government doesn’t negotiate based on demand.

They're usually a bit more expensive here than a taxi. It can be beneficial because sometimes they have deals, and I sometimes take one when I have to book it in advance or when I'm afraid there will be delays with a corrsponding high cost. Though Uber tend to hit me with congestion charges then too. At least with a taxi I can ask them to take a different route. The problem with the uber drivers is that they don't know any of the street names here, they just follow the app's navigation. Whereas taxi drivers tend to be much more aware and know the streets and often come up with suggestions.

This also means that they sometimes fleece tourists but when they figure you know the city well they don't dare :) Often if they take one wrong turn I make a scene about frowning and looking out of the window and then they quickly get back on track. Of course that's another usecase where uber would be better, if you don't know the city you're in.

> You're technically correct of course.

That's the "correct" that matters. Not the "I'd like to put words in your mouth and pretend you meant something you don't". Israel is legal abstraction, not human life and as such has no "fundamental rights" whatsoever. Humans have fundamental rights, however, and those rights always trump the non-rights of state entities.

You do know that the reason Zionists harp on about "Israel's right to exist" is to deny the victim's of that state's violence legal redress, right?

It’s not “completely “ false. Otherwise this sentiment wouldn’t exist and .NET 4 would be a nice memory like Windows 2000.

Opportunity cost? Sure, but you can’t deny that small teams that just wanted some stuff to please a business itch were able put the shitty code in whatever Win server they had at the time and forget about it. They didn’t have to ask IT to evaluate any installs, it was right there. And today in win 10 servers, that code still runs, returning ugly aspx.

We have some equivalent 2.1 stuff laying around and no one wants to go through the trouble of updating that.

You’re probably going to say something like “well that’s what you get when you just let your code rot and no one cared to document it and maintain it”. Yes, true, but that’s not the on topic point, one of those constantly comes up in vulnerability reports and one doesn’t.

> Name literally any other technology that works this way.

The internet for one.

Not the internet itself (although it certainly can be unreliable), but rather the information on it.

Which I think is more relevant to the argument anyway, as LLM’s do in fact reliably function exactly the way they were built to.

Information on the internet is inherently unreliable. It’s only when you consider externalities (like reputation of source) that its information can then be made “reliable”.

Information that comes out of LLM’s is inherently unreliable. It’s only through externalities (such as online research) that its information can be made reliable.

Unless you can invent a truth machine that somehow can tell truth from fiction, I don’t see either of these things becoming reliable, stand-alone sources of information.

Agreed.

Company wise, I’d like to see these things handled like the FDIC handles a bank failure. The Feds come in, wipe out upper management, and have another org take over as caretaker.

Otherwise these fines just get paid out of increased premiums. Which probably makes the folks responsible giggle as they immediately go and do the same thing again.

Others have been here before. You'll have to deal with:

* C-API
* Have a language spec
* Deal with differences in pattern matching
* Translating library calls
* Compete with LLMs doing a better job converting for some use cases
I expect that xAI is already doing something adjacent to this, though with propaganda rather than ads.

I tried this for a while with ErsatzTV and really loved it. I don’t have cable anymore but I remember fond memories of cycling through channels as a child.

I set up a food channel that would cycle through Masterchef and a few travel cooking shows, one for anime and one for Bollywood movies.

It was incredibly enjoyable. I could just put on a channel after work without having to consciously make a decision on what to watch. Just watch whatever’s on the channel and switch over to something else if it didn’t click!

Definitely going to try this out on my NAS.
Thanks for making me feel good knowing that i'm not the only one feeling that there's too much cruft in some areas nowadays! :-)

Simiarly, i either hear no discussion about tradeoffs, or they tend to be so vauge or weak...and it eventually boils down to "Ain't no body got time to figure out the 'right way', and this new $thing is popular, so this new way is the right way everyone...".

As far as why it went away, i frankly don;'t know...but i imagine for the same reasons other good stuff goes away: maybe contributors stopped working on it, or there is money to be made in the new ways, or the zeitgeist of the new way (due to management consultants whispering in the ear of IT senior leaders) takes over the attention of the everyday devs, etc. Then again, i suppose if one were to preserve certain local infra. in a way to use old stuff, i guess one may still be able to run things the old way...but that's an uphill battle, and likely not worth it.
I'm a bit of a nerd for hand tools and I've the same book for axes, and another for hand files lying around somewhere. Around this time these tool companies had a huge array of designs for their tools. It seems like almost every region of America had their own pattern of ax head with a range of sizes to choose from, and their own preference for style of handle, of which there are probably more than you'd expect, and users had their own preference for the style of cutting edge too. You had axes for just about any type of wood cutting job you can imagine. The land was conquered by these tools and the people using them put a lot of care and consideration into them, and it showed.

Nowadays, you still have some regional patterns available, but they're almost all swamp axes (a general purpose axe, not good at any one thing -- the head is too thick for very effective falling, but too thin for very effective splitting). You could thin them out, but filing the cheeks down messes up the temper of the steel. Handles have about two styles to pick from, and they all come clearcoated, which is awful on your hands, unlike linseed oil. Sure you can go boutique, like Gransfors of Hult Bruk, or Tuatahi, but you're looking at spending hundreds, which may actually be more in line with what you would have been spending for a quality tool 100 years ago, if you adjust for inflation.
Do you mean x86 (as in 32bit)? Because I'm fairly sure that there's a Rust package available on x86_64 ( and aarch64, riscv64, sparc64 and powerpc64).
Hi, Socket founder here.

Running AI coding setups in containers (or even just VMs) seems like a solid default, and I’d love to see tooling move in that direction by default—less as a hard security perimeter, more as a safety net for people trying to move fast.

Re: the article’s conclusion—I get the skepticism. For what it’s worth, the product came after years of trying to solve the problem of package security and maintainer funding in the open. At some point, it felt like the best way to make a dent was to build something dedicated to it.

Are You in Charge of Your Health? The health consumer; the illusion of control
Let me give a small anecdotal story of american wait times.

My doctor wanted to give me an MRI for a pain near the heart, and insurance told them they wouldn't cover it until they did various other forms of cheaper treatment, including taking antacids for one month, and 5 months of physical therapy. Which of course didn't work. The waiting time for the first appointment was 3 months.

It took over 9 months for my doctor, the only person to actually properly know the details of my case, to be able to give an MRI that he thought was necessary because someone at the insurance company, who I never met, who had less medical expertise than my doctor, wanted to save the insurance company money.

Anecdotally, all the people I know who live in countries with socialized medicine haven't ever had a wait time as long as that, and haven't ever had a simple MRI be delayed by their socialized insurance.
Maybe? But that's not what anyone means when they describe a company as profitable or not.

I was guessing they meant something like the net profit only came from a weird tax thing or something.
Unfortunately, there's massive drift between WebRTC implementations. The status quo is Google's, which is used by Chrome: https://webrtc.googlesource.com/src/

And everyone else has to play catch-up.

A big source of the drift is having a common library for SDP parsing, but also necessary features like BWE, different encodings, etc.

For example, aiortc, python's WebRTC implementation, isn't quite at the level most would want. It isn't necessarily easy to tell, without clear benchmarks, which implementation is at-par with Google's.
The prevailing school of economic thought in America, until Nixon, is actually what Trump idealizes.
