Trump has admitted to using the autopen, numbnuts.
This is one of the most hilarious talking points. Right up there with complaints about Obama being born outside the US, when McCain was factually born outside the US. It's on McCain's birth certificate.
Or that it's not getting better fast enough might be a better analogy. It's such a strange thing to feel entitled to, I can't think of anything that's getting better.
Welcome to an age where everyone is entitled...
Well, was it? Is that your claim, or not? Were they subscribing now for a future discount, or was the subscription for current use? Seems pretty straightforwards. Note that it doesn't matter what they anticipate unless it was promised.
Sometimes a company does make future promises to get people to subscribe now based on FOMO. Is that the case in these services? I don't use them, but my understanding is that people are merely subscribing to what is currently offered.
I do subscribe to one and use it for work. They basically promise access with usage limits at various tiers, and offer more powerful models on a pay as go basis for the basic tier. No where do I recall being promised ongoing development of ever more powerful models. You do expect that given how computer development occurs, but it is not unreasonable to think they may at some point decide what they offer is powerful enough and not introduce more powerful ones.
Yes and this is likely also an attempt at regulatory capture, to get lawmakers to set the bar high enough that new players would find it very difficult to gain traction. I won't be surprised if DeepSeek gets banned entirely from the USA and ordered to be blocked by ISPs
Possibly but regulatory capture is not illegal or an anti-trust violation and a common practice for many industries. Even if the US decided to block DeepSeek and it didn't get thrown out on First Amendment grounds, VPNs make banning a whack a mole game.
Yes, limited local AI models certainly are going to be a standard feature in the future.
I run both local and cloud AI. There is still a huge difference, because my local machine has to use smaller and quantized models. It takes considerably longer for lower quality results.
It's between Chums Corner and Interlochen (Interlochen State Park also hosts one of the few stands of virgin white pine in the state.)
Perhaps you missed it, so I'll bold the important part:
1) Article 5 only requires other NATO nations to respond as they feel appropriate to their own national interest. Full involvement is not required.
What national interest does the the US have in any Estonia or any of the Baltic chihuahuas, other than as a foil to annoy Russia with?
Two considerations:
1) Article 5 only requires other NATO nations to respond as they feel appropriate to their own national interest. Full involvement is not required.
2) Estonia is small enough that Russia could overrun the entire country in a couple of days, long before the NATO bureaucracy would be finished dithering about whether to respond or not.
As has been demonstrated in Ukraine and Iran, the US is now a paper tiger, with a military armed with finicky, high tech weaponry which is easily overwhelmed by a flood of low cost disposable drones. For example the multibillion dollar THAAD system protecting (for the gods only know what reason) Israel was disabled by some drones costing about the price of a used BMW attacking the long range radar systems it relied on.
It's like complaining that Apple doesn't allow people to hack the Mac OS for whatever reason they want.
What are you talking about? You can literally hack Mac OS for whatever reason you want.
If the crash happened in some other county the joke would be funny, but this happened in Grand Traverse. Check out the median home price there. Mission Point is home to a few wineries, and Boeing execs from Chicago have their summer homes there. A few years ago Traverse City built a new pier that can accommodate the larger yachts, as that was apparently a problem.
The crash was near Grawn, well away from the areas that are nice to live in. Last time I was there Grawn had more trailers than stick-built homes. Migrating waterfowl love the corn fields and small lakes in that area.
The point is why do we "need" so many pilots when the only countries we reasonably need to protect against are Mexico and Canada?
Not in the US, we're at least a decade behind the curve and our sclerotic military procurement system looks to keep us there.
If you had better tools, you could more effectively demonstrate your total incompetence.
