Imagine all the money they are saving by not using US AI rates!

Sorry I meant, this is a clear security breach of very important stuff.

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

Is Trump country no good anymore? Are people complaining about odd noise, power fluctuations and or water problems?

Canada has a bewildering wealth and breadth of nature. Let's convert some of that to server farms. It's for the kids.

It really does not make sense to have a cap only for out-of-network, when in-network arguably are less cost for the institutions. But of course banks are spending a lot of money on both parties so...

And they are starting to lose confidence. They only work for Vizzini to pay the bills, not a lot of money or revenge.

...sidestepping the double entedre this is not a Claude Code specific risk.

DPMS, governance, pretool use hooks, post tool use, auditability and so on need to be used with practically any LLM.

As they say, always use protection ðY

Also, now that I think about it, we'll science the shit out of that too.

We prevented enough disease and needless death so people love longer. We made a weight loss drug so them lard tubs are gonna manage to simply be overweight...and perhaps in the not too distance future we'll get some kind of intelligence boosting drug so we can all watch TV guzzling 2L bottles of fizzy drinks, eat some kind of sawdust masked by synthetic flavours and become smarter.

...in the future, will people OD on brain pills?!

So lower academic achievement, longer life, much obesity. I have seen this film before! It's called Wall-E.

I'll just wait here for my app-summoned mobility scooter...

I'm Not Sure.

The Slashdot Tenor API integration seems sadly broken, otherwise I would post an animated gif here to demonstrate how sad I am. Maybe a tiny violin playing a sad song...

As far as I can figure, it's because at best we have a mishmash of electronic means that don't talk to each other. I wish we had a universal method but we don't because we are overall a stubborn society that sometimes needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the present. Which is somewhat ironic, the country that (at least used to) lead the world in technology innovation can't be bothered to keep up with the rest of the world unless there is a profit to be made.

But "Murica! Yeah haw!"

I have a strange feeling you are against paying off the 13 middle layers between the transaction source and destination. Lots of really good companies sit there in those layers and leech off everyone's existence. Be more sensitive to their needs...even 600kg mosquitos need to eat.

...smart operators should be looking to OFFLOAD token usage to local models or specialised models to make token use as low as possible.

As of today frontier models are heavily subsidised to get you hooked and dependent. Be smart. Use the current relatively low cost of tokens to build what you cannot and get the low complexity grunt work done by local models so in the next 3-5 years you won't need those frontier models for most things and when you do, for specific well-scoped work, the cost will be roughly the same or at least tolerable.

If everything you do and know depends on a frontier AI model be prepared to spend. We got a taste with Fable. DOUBLE the cost of the already expensive Opus.

Currently to run a 1M context window AI model in roughly 30B range you need two RTX6000 Blackwells. That's £20k - so when you think about your £180/m subscription consider this as the teaser rate. Get the value out of it ASAP while it's cheap.

It certainly can be a good way to go about it. If we enforce good governance around factualism, journalism, reporting and public speaking then we can at least make it very hard to tell lies and make it easier to expose them.

Hate speech is not allowed in the UK. Why is telling outright lies allowed? Knowingly misinforming should be a close second and can be more dangerous.

Many alternative outlets worked hard to undermine everything possible from"The Mainstream Media" why? Because they are held to broadcasting and publishing standards. Simultaneously they started spreading crap through unregulated channels, mainly social media. The social media's companies are saying they cannot be held accountable for their users...but wait a moment, if the users are doing something those companies don't like they get banned. So clearly enforcement can happen when convenient.

IMO critical thinking needs to be taught at school so the typical BS Nigel Farage and the like can be spotted miles away. He as his rich friends still want®us all to believe the reason life isn't as good is because of deserate people coming in on rubber boats.

In the 90s the UK was riding on a strong economy and it had decades of illegal immigration...so what was the difference? The economy. Today's economy is struggling. Brexit made it worse...and all the ones that pushed it as this great thing to give prosperity and save the bloody polar bears have disappeared from the public eye or are telling us we did it wrong.

Now every UK government to come is practically doomed because the people want a better life and there's no money to give it to them.

The rising numbers of conspiracy theory believing people are not going to get the UK out of this... it's down to the rest of us to respectfully give them food for thought and show a better way.

If you tell people they are wrong they are more likely to spend a lot of energy proving they are right...but if you adopt their viewpoint and ask some adjacent follow-up questions inherit to their position you might trigger a journey of critical thinking.
