I don't know what's normal for retail, but surely a lot of the business is drawn by the novelty of an AI operated store.

Yeah it feels weird. It's like microsoft going after someone that uses Visual Studio to make their own IDE. As long as the Chinese customers are paying for access to the models than this seems like entirely fair game. I'm also rather confused as supposedly Kimi K3 was distilled from Fable/Mythos but they only had about 10 days of access to do that? If it's possible to learn the secret recipe to an AI model in that short of a time, it hardly seems like a secret.

Their latest Flash model goes live tomorrow. Price for cached tokens halved, other prices lowered. Since it outperforms their latest Pro model they will reroute pro requests to it until the pro version launches. It does seem to be a frontier model in every way except price.

Right, whites and blacks kissing on TV! Heavy handed messages about race - like, one race is white on the left half, the other race is white on the right half, and they think it's so important! Women as bridge officers, Jews actors playing the biggest roles, constant anti-war themes, capitalism depicted as a primitive relic of Earth's past...the list goes on. Just disgusting.

Do you seriously thing Slashdot is getting marketing from obscure movie studios? Are they trying to corner up the "poor & old IT closet cleaner" demographic? Are they chasing the 27 replies this story will get?

A whole floor dedicated to Banksy, a meme artist from 2018! Sorry, I'm open to new or whimsical architecture, but at least from the outside, the building looks stupid.

This museum is basically "Star Wars exhibit with some other stuff for some reason." After the initial rush of Star Wars fans, who wants to go? And in 30 years when the last kid who saw star wars in the theater is dead, will anybody care at all?

About 90% of doctors consume alcohol.

TheMiddleRoad was making a joke about the "cadence" cadence.

The point is that the price of computers (and computing devices) has gone up substantially. Everybody knows this, not addressing common knowledge is making an argument in bad faith.

But yeah you can get an underpowered mini PC for $300 if that's all you need or can afford.

So is $80 for an echo dot but here we are.

808s and Heartbreak is the best album since Bing Crosby.

There is not going to be $2,000 worth of RAM in a new computer, get real. Tesla Y has 16GB RAM in the FSD/Autopilot and 8GB RAM in the infotainment computer.

This is just an excuse for people to whine about how all they want is a car without automatic window openers.

A snapdragon 7 based phone should be like $400. Paying $650 for one doesn't make any sense unless you're constantly breaking small components.

What is the article suggesting - books are sacrosanct, and must never be destroyed or thrown away? Millions are being published every year, millions have to be recycled, who cares.

For me the visualization of direct collapse black hole formation is that there's still a huge mass of gas falling in, at the boundary of the new black hole nearly dense enough to direct collapse itself. The blowback would compress the inflow over the density edge and you get a whole cloud of black holes.
