"Sohni told me he thinks vibe coding is not going anywhere..."

A claim with multiple meanings, all true.

Fraud is one of the world's oldest professions.

"What we've noticed with e-bikes is that the speed in which people are coming off is much higher and as a result, the injuries are much worse."

I not only don't believe this, I believe this is an intentional lie. I doubt there is the slightest evidence of "much worse" injuries correlated to e-bike use compared to bikes. I doubt this kind of data is even collected. Nick is a liar.

'Nick explains that he is a cyclist himself, and it's something he encourages people to do for the benefit of their health.'

Not a surprise, attacks against e-bikes always come from the cycling community. This is just propaganda.

Everything, of course, but in this case AI is not being used for medicine, only to assist in patient privacy. /. is truly filled with idiots. Do we not teach reading any more?

"We're literally in a world where AI is allowed such carte blanche that medical records that need ethical review to be included in a study can just be flung to the AI as training data to side-step the ethical review? Are you fucking kidding me?"

What do you mean "are you fucking kidding me"? No one is telling you that, you've made it up.

The waivers are for synthetic data. Nowhere does it say that the AI training did any "side-step" of "ethical review".

If personal information is NOT included in synthetic data generated by an AI, there is no ethical concern. Of course, leaking personal data during inference will always be a concern, as will be the ethics of the AI companies.

"You'd still be using the actual medical data of real human beings in the up-front for this training data."

Glad you understand that, if only you considered that before your conspiratorial bullshit. Nowhere does it say this step was done unethically.

"Or has the universe simply declared AI training on anything is perfectly fine because it's AI, therefore logic and ethics have no need to step into the conversation. What the actual fuck?"

There you go again. You're on a stupid merry-go-round.

For the purpose of law, a term like "performing arts" will have a legal definition. It doesn't matter whether that definition satisfies your intuition or not. It's yet another "copyright violations are not theft" argument, it means nothing.

"Same goes for the idiots on stream."
Prove it.

"They sure as hell are."
Many are, but they exist because originally they were not.

"It would make more sense to get rid of the performing arts exemption then to pretend certain jobs suddenly aren’t."
It would make most sense to not have any of this in the first place, either tips or tax exemptions on tips. It all completely corrupt and performative.

This only exists because it was yet another populist play by Trump, and these carve-outs are merely an attempt to ensure that "others" don't benefit. Arguing about the best way to target hatred when passing out candy is not a good look.

I suspect you have quite an imagination when it comes to those sites, what you really mean is that you resent that anyone on those sites gets tipped.

"Usually they're just sitting around looking super bored because no one is tipping (and in this economy, can you really blame 'em?)."

And how do you know this?

We know Republicans like you visit these sites, then don't tip...because they're Republicans. That's not everybody.

Working hard to erase your partisan affiliation?

How does your candy taste?

That post isn't even from a human and it has no point. It is triggered as a response to a specific poster. And of course it isn't suggesting billionaires don't exist, who'd be paying for it?

"However, I have noticed that things are getting obnoxious. "

That's because you "don't begrudge tipping people in service roles", if indeed you don't. Tipping culture is absurd top to bottom, people should be paid a decent wage.

"I aim for 20% before tax, and rarely more."

You're part of the problem.

Where I live, if you want food actually delivered, a tip must be guaranteed of at least $10. When I was in college, I delivered food more than 20 hours a week, I usually got about $10 a week in tips, never $10 in a single night. Another example of those great "free market" economies.

It's the free market speaking!

Except for all the time you'll waste trying to find an attorney to take your case.

There was an exclusive, but there was no carrier subsidy. The price didn't change when the exclusive expired.

"And despite that, everyone slavishly copies their phones..."

The iPhone was slavishly copied from smartphones that had existed for a decade by that time. The original iPhone was not even a smartphone, it was a poser that did not offer 3rd party apps. Apple copied everyone else.

"That actually is kind of a big deal for anyone who doesn't need the rest of the "Pro" feature set."

Except for those who don't care about that either. It's funny how some features may not be important, but not that one. Could not care less about 120Hz.
