But that's exactly the reason why they had no option but to merge.

This is a way of misusing the system and taking away GPU from people who are paying for metered work and the quotas became unsustainable.

I don't really understand the topic: if I go to Hazel and Bell website it says that the comics are meant for 18+ adults. But the article is ablout school librarians for children not allowing the comic.

School libraries were always censored heavily.

Using online payment processing for censoring is a separate issue that unfortunately comes up heavily (money is supposed to be neutral as long as its used legally), but they shouldn't be mixed together with the school library question.

It looks like Elizabeth Holmes payed some PR company to get a lot of news articles her to whitewash her name just when we forgot about how cruel she was. On me it works just the opposite, she should just serve her sentence in her luxury prison and come out quiet.

ASUS Zephyrus, but it was able to reverse engineer the ports and I was able to download the firware from the controller itself, write an emulator that emulates running the firmware on multiple controllers with different instruction sets (the USB Power Delivery controller is RISC-V) and the communication between them. Also it found out how to read the communication buffer that was on the devices for debugging, which helped it understand the USB data packets that were doing the handshaking and voltage/current negotiation.

I had to reboot my laptop a few times though until I got to this, but it was a fun experience anyways.

At this point open source isn't as much advantage as long as the firmware is not encrypted :)

I have quite the opposite experience: I can do any concrete coding change with any model, but the intelligence limit just doesn't go through more complex debugging examples.

And then when I try a smart model, like Astra medium and it solves it (I had a firmware bug in my new laptop where I couldn't charge through USB-C) on the first try (altough with a repo already having lots of information about the hardware/firmware/debugging programs/traces), I realize how much time I'm losing on the few examples that the less intelligent models are just not able to debug and solve.

They said it's under 700kg in an interview

Models at this point know about chain-of-thought monitoring so they already know they need to hide the cheating, it's just a matter of time they start doing it

I was really looking for the $500 plan as my $200 using Astra low goes away fast, but now it seems like I will just have a $500 plan that will do what the $200 plan does currently.

Actually it also is a good enough reason from him to move away from both working on Ruby on Rails and using it.

The article forgets one thing, how DHH started his talk: he asked the audience how many people still codes by hand, and only 5 people raised their hands.

I was also waiting for some cool talk of some change, as I loved the simplificiation that Rails has done last year, but I also understand his point of view: he could either speed up the development of rails with AI (what Bun has done), or just say that it's mature and it doesn't matter anymore and it's better to not ruin a mature system.

This sounds like a great improvement actually, but Porsche should maybe first work on their own Porsche chargers at the Porsche dealerships to be working, make sure that their card / mobile app work with all chargers from all charger companies (I don't care if some contracts they have are more expensive, but I want to charge when I'm there), plugging in Porsche car should start charging automatically with any EV charger (Ionity always works better than Porsche chargers, so I go there).

Also adding in sentry mode and dashcam support to all Porsches would be some basic security need when it already contains great cameras.

Charging at home is already supere easy, that's never the part when I advise other people against owning an EV when they are asking me about it.

Sure, Dario needs to decide first if he sees China as an enemy orva friend.

Limiting NVIDIA chips already turned China into silicon compete mode, and China is already far ahead in robotics.

Try GPT5 and you will feel the difference. Not one from 2 months ago, but one from a year ago. And then you can get the idea of what happened in just 1 year and what you can expect in 1 year.

I'm not so sure.

We humans are from a lower intelligence form (some monkey like ancestor). If those monkeys knew that they are making higher intelligence, they would have collaborated to stop creating humans because they can control the life of all monkeys in the world? I don't think so.

It's the same thing now: humanity is creating something that's more intelligent then them, they're just not using biological evolution as a tool to do it.
