Funneling money from the government to private research that doesn't have to be disclosed, as the public funding won't be for research, but for student placement.

Proving the point, if anything.

They started with a well-timed sale right at the release of V4, when Anthropic was publically forced to admit they've been playing with the models in the background wasting peoples money, and Copilot pricing scheme changed pricing out top Opus models into higher tiers. DS sale got expanded to whole of May, as I'm sure they saw a trove of people feeding their tasks to them in parallel with their bad experience with Anthropic. This dynamic reaction to overall situation is refreshing to see.

Not the commenter above. I used popOs 22 for 4-5 yeas daily, and have been quite happy. I was prompted to update to 24 through the system panel, accepted, and after the update was done, I encountered multiple issues with Cosmic. Could not restore, and after futile attempts, wiped and re-installed Ubuntu 22. I do not have a system76 PC, but an older Dell WS. I regret accepting the suggested breaking update.

Overpriced for what it is - there are pressurized tank pens starting at $4, a lot more ergonomic too.

I saw the video, and wondered if they bypassed Alibaba after finding the vendor - Alibaba has trade assurance with significant protection for the buyer and seller, including escrow until order is received and checked.

I find this extremely concerning: "Countermeasures. We are developing Product, API and model-level safeguards designed to reduce the efficacy of model outputs for illicit distillation, without degrading the experience for legitimate customers."

I often ask Claude to reason out loud, and this indicates that instead of explicitly blocking flagged requests the model output will be purposefully degraded.

Give it a few undocumented updates that change your settings in the background, and come back to give us an update. Even my Win10 extended support is getting CoPilot shoved down the pipeline silently.

"... I have a rough idea of" and "look into AI-powered ... design tools" is a sad sentence to come across. This young individual spent time to learn complex things and implemented it into an actual useful physical thing. Why give this advice in the first place? To stop them from learning?

Time and time again large competing forces in the market are found to have colluded instead of directly competing with each other to drive price/cost down. What is it that still makes you believe that two (or n-number) of providers won't collude to charge an astronomical amount for a life-saving treatment?

You can achieve near 100% great shots. I have a decent grinder, Robot Cafelat manual machine, and found the beans and roasting level I enjoy form a local roaster. Total under 900CAD.

Agree about not being able to enjoy any other coffee anymore.
