All software has bugs. What this tells me is that the actors with the best models (and Anthropic apparently has one so good and expensive it is outstripping compute supply) they will find the exploits first and probably the ones that are hardest to find

So yeah, dependabot, but the richest actors will have the best bits and they probably won’t share the ones they can find that nobody else’s models can

Presumably we would not give the AI models to the "good guys" because then they would also find and patch these vulnerabilities?

Someone's "good guys" are just someone "bad guys". Access to a valuable resource/tool that provides some sort of power and utility will be just another contended item.

Yeah Block level dedupe has been an industry standard for decades. Tracking file hashes? Why?

And I see above that this is a self-hosted platform and I still don’t get it. I was running terabytes of ZFS with dedupe=on on cheap supermicro gear in 2012

File hashes are great to get two systems to work together to dedupe themselves. I have a Windows backup that sends hashes to a backup server, so we don't back up crud we already have.

Also, you can be automatically registered for the draft, but automatically registering people to vote is a culture war issue.

Yeah if Apple ever allows audio passthru then the appleTV would dethrone the aging Nvidia shield as the best streamer on the market

I have a modest AVR and 7 channel setup and still watch movies on my shield which is still getting android updates

This was a big issue back in the DVDCSS days. The DMCA explicitly forbids bypassing protective measures. Doesn’t matter who owns the media, the copyright holder owns the content.

17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)(1)(A)

Which was the beginning of the end for ownership vs purchasing a license. That thing you paid for isn’t yours.

Perhaps OP is referring to the pivot away from cars and toward automation

But seeing as how they haven’t launched a decent car in a decade, and have utterly failed to launch true FSD as promised, I have no confidence that they can succeed in a new market given they are demonstrably shit at their core competency

These subjective evals are why community reviews are garbage.

Personally I think the 3GS is a better product. I know a few folk who returned their original iPhone because the headphone jack didn’t allow their headphones to connect, and there were obvious limitations that weren’t addressed until the 3GS

The iPhone was revolutionary no argument. But that doesn’t mean later revs were not better products for their time.

I think the 4 was really where it took off. It’s remembered for the antenna PR mess, but it was the first mix of speed and features that made me and many many colleagues say “this could be better than my BlackBerry.” And it was!

I think you're derive specificity from the data that simply isn't there. That's not a data problem, that's an interpretation problem.

The survey didn't ask about reliability, success, or functionality.

The survey didn’t ask anything. It shows two products and “which one would you prefer”

I stand by my interpretation. Who is going to prefer the OG iPhone to the refined and improved version? Nobody that I knew at the time.

No, it said more than that, the full prompt on the page is:

> Rank Your Top 50

> Help us pick the best Apple products of the last 50 years! Just choose which of the two randomly paired options you prefer.

This is explicitly invoking a context of historical importance. Some of these products are 50 years old, not available, and completely obsolete. A reader would be silly to interpret this as a survey to construct a buyers guide.

I see this as an extension of the Netflix model: content for people who aren’t actually watching the movie

Why spend the effort making a show for people on their phones? Will they even notice if it’s slop?

Many things are only in demand because they are free.

And if nobody is willing to pay for it, it hardly matters how low you bring down cost, because it’s always a net negative.

Just look at the general state of the internet over the past two decades. Do you think it would work for Sora to insert ads into the slop?

I’ve read that many contracts involved the label fronting a ton of money to the band to produce and promote the album.

Which meant the band needed to tour to generate the revenue and exposure to pay all that money back. Shirts and posters cost nothing to print and sell for $35 at the table. Exclusive tour merch is collectible.

Streaming and digital production changed this somewhat but the economy seems similar today. Since nobody buys albums and streaming pays nothing, tours and merch are where the band gets paid.
