This is actually about having the power of one person in an office wiping out any internet domain from the country.

Doesn’t make much business sense for the megacorps.

Have they tried making a decent truck?

Totally not this 80s kid.

Elmo has had a toxic influence in the modern world.

While Elmo is just trolling for attention, he is emboldening extremists in a week where some of their notable figures also got pardoned. We’ve entered the age of retribution.

I get it, but I also understand people that need to go “this is me, can I have some money?” on social media.

Once these platforms are perceived as a way for people to make a living somehow, they ain’t leaving. That’s why nice places like mastodon stay niche. Without virality, people don’t see the upside for them. They want a grift they can understand.

Regulators: “There’s this thing called the web…”

Google: “Yeah, we own it”

Firefox: “Can I just have some money?”

Microsoft: “We already know what you’re gonna say”

Regulators: “See, that’s the whole problem…”

EU: you guise tell me when you’ve got something decent

Dredge has been one of my favourites. Just be aware that the game starts harder than when it ends.

Once there’s a benchmark, LLMs can optimise for it. This is just another piece of news where people call “game over” but the money poured into R&D isn’t stopping anytime soon. Wasn’t synthetic data supposed to be game over for LLMs? Its limitations have been identified and it’s still being leveraged.

I believe that’s Apple talking to Google, not anything local you can own.

Real headline: Apple research presents possible improvements in benchmarking LLMs.

The cars were probably also being nudged just in case.

If you tell corporations there’s a way to increase lock-in and decrease account sharing, they’re gonna make it work.

Something like NextDNS as a no-brainer? It works but hits the limit of the free tier if people use it beyond their phone.

I used to recommend uBlock as a no-brainer, now folks really need to change towards a better browser.
