Do you have any sources for this? (Even anecdotal such as conversations with people in the know)

I recently built myself a good tool that blocks all sponsored, promoted and recommended posts, and it's been incredible. This information if true would be a genuine concern!

I'm curious why Microsoft has that setting on by default. What are the benefits of letting any peripheral make system level changes to that extent without popping up a user installer?

One of the primary purposes of batching is to release features at a regular cadence, and all releases go through the same minimum set of checks to catch any unexpected regressions.

In my experience, the workload of these checks grows much slower than linearly with batch size.

What other factors am I missing here?

But you most likely signed a binding arbitration clause in the TOS

Slightly misleading title: It's an Artificial Eggshell/Membrane.

They took regular eggs, broke the shell/membrane and emptied the contents into a silicone based eggshell/membrane for incubation.

Still good science, but greatly tempered implications. Allegedly a group of Japanese school students did this previously using cellophane wrap.

The article repeatedly uses the API charge to the 'customer' as an estimate of the cost value to Anthropic/OpenAI.

Is there any good data on the true cost of inference for these companies?

The mouse sensitivity on mobile though is wildly high!

Not sure I fully understood what you meant by 'the open category is done'?

Also, from the categories that you mentioned, do you compete in West Coast Swing?

Reverse the benefits != increase the net risk

It took a while going through the data in the results section to see this.

They actually do compare against a control group. This is the study that is being referenced.

https://bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/5/1/e002150

The data on the results section shows almost parity between the control group and participants who discontinued for 2 years.

Note that while it is a well conducted study at the US VA with 300,000+ patients, it is not a randomized study so fully eliminating confounding variables and reverse causality is hard.

I came across this site earlier, but at a quick search could not find any other sources corroborating the fact that this vote indeed happened.

In the day of so much AI content, that straight-up-rant felt oddly... human.

It felt like sitting on the old college dorm a lifetime ago unwinding at the end of the day over a beer; and listening to the rant of a batchmate who has obsessed over every single alternative available for their specific use-case and not found one that even comes close.

I'm seeing a lot of this same bottle neck show up around code review.

Very interested to hear more experiences of attempts to solve this pragmatically.
