Highway, implies both high capacity and high speed. If I wanted to average 25MPH on my commute because less space, Iâ(TM)d probably drive some back road every morning
Everybody off the highway now, please let the entitled man through, he wishes to go fast.
You fucking character from a Kurt Vonnegut book.
Eventually it will be free and ad-supported, they just haven't figured out how to fully monetize its userbase yet. The potential is huge since advertising will gladly pay to manipulate your behavior by subtly working suggestive product placements into every response.
By the way, I'm selling these fine leather jackets...
You're talking about services with $20, $100, $200, etc. a month per user plans for different quantities of tokens, and then per-token API rates beyond that. Obviously they have figured out how to monetize their products, so when you say fully, do you mean like $500, $1000 giga-whale plans? Or selling ads to help offset free users. A public benefit corporation, or at least a company pretending to be nice, they might need to throw something at those pigeons, but it's not the meat they're after.
If you don't know what a 5h quota means, or what I mean by token burn rate, then you are not the target market for those plans. Software developer whales are what fund free access to the top of the line AI/LLM services basically. Free, non-coding "chat" access is a lot closer to simply being turned off, but more likely it would just be throttled down as far as it needs to be. Sure everyone wants more money, the non-coding side of things will surely end up with ads, but... they're well past leather jacket money dude.
Think how Amazon has ads. AWS don't. That make sense? OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. they're both.
The truth: we allow almost 1 million people into the US legally every year. Imagine if illegal immigration had been controlled since 1987 when Reagan granted amnesty. There'd be none of this burden on our fellow countrymen and women.
What burden are you talking about? The difference between a legal immigrant and an illegal immigrant and a citizen is a piece of paper. Explain what you mean by bad behavior. An illegal immigrant is a person that lives here without legal status, that is all. You're leaving us to fill in the blanks and wonder what exactly you think is bad. Speaking a different language? Cultural displays you're unfamiliar with? Accents? Everything points to some form of bigotry and it's telling that you're attacking someone for being racist because it was assumed it was a Hispanic flavor of bigotry.
The reason nobody takes this argument seriously and assumes some form of bigotry is at play is because you can't describe this hand wavy burden. You just made a lofty statement about millions of people a year since 1987, and I have to fill in the blanks to get your meaning.
You fucking KNOW what you're saying sounds like bigotry, but you tried to date a Brazilian... so you just really don't understand a thing about immigration then is the most charitable explanation I can come up with, and we're right back to not taking you seriously. I've heard it all, "the country is full", well is it? "Skipping the line", I didn't wait in any line, did you? If you think this is a trap because the more you explain yourself the more it's going to sound unintelligent, feelings based, bigoted or worse, then fucking reflect on that will you?
In layman's terms, if the streets smell like piss, people will piss in the streets
It's like saying white men have a wife beating problem, an alcoholism problem, and an obesity problem.
I'm stating facts. But
... parliament?
The same shitty people that cry about declining civility and culture complain about decorum or being held to any kind of a standard. Because they have none of those things. Hard fucking truth.
This has nothing to do with Trump and Zuck. Allowing free speech is amazing for a wide variety of reason and this increase in threats just means more criminals will be caught making violent threats.
We've seen this movie before, when they say "violent threats" they mean calls to impeach Trump, with fucking seashells.
Calls for free speech from a large part of our society mean _nothing_ because we've seen what they do with power.
you got it wrong. it gives you fuckers more fuel to sell the global warming propaganda to idiots
You can see it in things like bird habitats shifting https://txtbba.tamu.edu/specie...
Or pests shifting north https://data.mainepublichealth...
Pick any bug or disease out there that likes it warmer and wetter, pick any bird, look at the trends.
You have to be willfully stupid to ignore the signs at this point.
To many that coherence you speak of it bad. Jobs went against everything that made consumer computers popular and went against the entire open culture of everything. Specifically configuration options. It was the Jobs way or the highway, the ability to configure things to function the way the owner wanted it to was ditched. You operated the way jobs wanted it to or it didn't allow it. Also the entire concept of suites of apps is anathema to open computing. Small dedicated apps that do one thing and do it well was also ditched for integrated suites.
This screams bored kid that is trapped in the backseat of the family sedan. Like you had one family computer and your parents wouldn't let you build one or rip the panels off their car to see if it will go faster. I mean I get it.
Clearly having a finished well built product was more popular than "configuration options"
We've all grown out of this right? Somewhere in the past forty or so years we've all had the chance to buy, build, customize all of the above and conclude that a project car is cool and all but it doesn't make sense as the family grocery getter. Plus our personal hobby is just that, personal and a hobby. Projecting it onto some "culture" to imply it's bigger than that, just... please. I built my first Linux desktop on minimum wage working through high school money, a gadjillion years ago. I guess that privilege is what helped see past griping about windows not being something it wasn't (or Macs). I could do whatever I wanted with my own box and futzing with x server configs for one thing was not for everyone. More importantly I figured out you can have more than one system and the world doesn't fucking end.
Goofus is butthurt everyone else isn't driving project cars and blaming Toyota for going against "open" car culture. Gallant pulls up to his garage in a Corolla and rolls the door up to reveal a custom hot rod. Fuck off Goofus.
In what way is a government buying shares of a publicly traded company communism?
What the fuck are people that stupid
yeah it's all Trump's fault, everything is his fault. We just need more politics here thanks for coming
It literally is Trump's fault Texas started this whole mid-decade redistricting sweeping the country. It is literally Trump's fault that a man like Ken Paxton is his party's U.S. Senate nominee. I'll even say it's Trump's fucking fault that wierd Shamwow guy from the 90s is back and running for public office.
There isn't enough sand in Texas to bury your head deep enough to hide from the distinct possibility that Samsung's move involved some backroom dealings involving tariff threats or some other sweetheart deals.
What did you expect, we're going to talk about the technical, nerdy reasons Samsung moved? You know there isn't one. Sorry man.
The fuck it is.
A, the crime rate in Texas is not great, nor is it in any poor rural area
B, to actually enjoy the use of your guns you're better off in literally any northern or middle? state. Texas is hot as fucking balls, and there is a hilarious number of plants that are always trying to stab you. Put some sneakers on and try running through the trees, tell me how fucking awesome Texas is to own a gun in. By the way, want to hunt? Go pay some guy named Dusty to use his stocked ranch. It's like fishing in a koi pond, but whatever floats your boat pardner. Want to go off-roading, talk to Dusty, he owns the off-roading ranch up the road. You can't ride a dirtbike across the county like you can up north. Sorry but everyone's idea of Texas is so fucking ass backwards from reality. Freedom looks like a barbed wire fence in Texas. Better off in Michigan or something if you actually like using your guns. Hey, do you hate trees, or do you love trees that hate you? Come on down!
I mean it ain't all that bad, but I don't know where this idea is all that great comes from.
I'm curious, what is the reality? These companies are moving to Texas and Florida for *some* reason. If not for less regulation, what is it?
Backroom deals. 100%. Texas is starting some new kind of business court system, with judges hand picked by the governor not elected. It's courting (no pun) these kinds of moves for sure.
That's why they don't want to talk about it.
Texans don't pay the highest taxes in the country
Texas has among the highest effective property tax rates in the country. People moving there from out of state are fucking Texans on fixed incomes, it's a rather big deal because the legislature has to continually apply bandaids. Also ranked 14th for sales tax, not cheap. No income tax, they just get it other ways. Not knowing the property tax situation while claiming it's cheap, especially in this context is really fucking ignorant. Every tech bro from CA or NY that moves to Texas raises property values and it stings a lot more when the rate is high as it is. School funding is capped by the state, so it doesn't help them scale, the excess goes to state bureaucrats who build more fucking toll roads.
I mean I just bought a Lenovo laptop with 16G of ram for $700 with touchscreen, a pen, and OLED screen...
Lenovo sells chromebooks for more than that, what is that, a refurbished android tablet?
1.79 x 10^12 furlongs per fortnight -- it's not just a good idea, it's the law!
