The weird thing with this bubble is that the bubble startups are also dependent on the established players. Lots of startups do AI this or that but really just use an OpenAI or Claude API rather than do the hard part themselves. Regardless of the success or failure of these smaller companies, OpenAI gets to keep the money. They can ride the bubble until the end and still survive.

True, but you can't hand the librarian a set of circumstances specific to you and then have them cross-reference the news stories and come up with the best plan of action for you. It's kind of like the slippery slope with warrants in the digital age. You can sweep up so much information with so little effort that it changes the whole scale of what's possible and what the dangers are.

How that used to work is that someone else doesn't do the terrible thing you don't like. How it works now is that everyone does whatever terrible thing because then you have no other choice.

We now have an illusion of choice and they're all equally bad. If someone doesn't do this, they get just successful enough to be bought out by someone who will.

Fees that are part of the required price for every plan or product should be 100% illegal. Especially when trying to claim that prices are fixed and aren't increasing. I feel like the FTC had the authority to do more decades ago.

The DPU is a whole computer that you put inside your computer. And it's made for datacenters, so I wouldn't really be surprised that it has IPMI. It also has its own NIC.

It would have to be nearly infinite worlds rather than many. Every single superposition collapse would fork the universe. The information continues to exist, but not "here."

I don't know if it goes in both directions, but prevailing theories of physics tend to lead philosophical thought. The whole idea of post-modernism is just the theory of relativity as applied to human thought and behavior rather than physical reality. I don't know exactly where quantum mechanics plays out in philosophy but I have to assume skibidi toilet is in there somewhere.

Of course it is. Or do you just come here to read the articles?

You can run Office Enterprise on Windows Pro. Read harder.

Steam is mostly just a store and launcher. They've made good progress on Proton and enabling Linux compatibility for Windows games, but if the game developer doesn't put any work in it's not always a good experience. They're not doing this to be an OS developer, but to just expand their market share.

A trained operator can't predict something that essentially operates with an RNG to help vary up the responses and synthesize "creativity." A trained operator will basically just know exactly what not to trust it with and work around it - usually at greater effort than not using it in the first place.

Reminds me of the AI image generating prompt of "a room with no elephants in it." And every single one of them has an elephant even when rooms don't normally have elephants (in my personal experience).

Using the words at all puts weights on them and it may not be balanced out by "do not" as that's not how these models work.

Previously, I'm sure it meant access to security updates.

I'm sure this is already known but the absolute count is way way secondary to frequency. If you do 20 minutes of activity and are sedentary the rest of the day, this is far worse for metabolism and health than 2 minutes of activity every hour.

The only thing a higher number of steps proves is that your frequency probably has to be higher to get there.

That's the cycle, though. The cheaper/better alternatives get a bunch of subscribers, then they get a bunch of capital through investors, and then the investors cash out by going public before it is later sold out to private equity and they go into the extortion phase. That's when people look for cheaper/better again.
