Yes, you do. First of all, in UK, it's almost exactly the same. In Europe under Napoleon law, it's the judge who decides to assign someone who gets to do discovery.
Which means in practice the state (police, Tax service, ministries, ...) get to do any discovery they want, including things that would never fly in the US. And in private cases, usually there is very limited discovery, and only by an independent lawyer, not on either side, assigned by the judge.
It's a matter of getting used to things. We're only a few weeks further, I maybe would have given it now. It'd need some way to keep it private I guess, maybe I could have used a one off CC number. Those are just technicalities at this point. It got me to the point where I just had to enter my details and click a few confirm buttons. Those are solved problems. I'm not sure why the denialists here are saying those things are 'impossible'. I mean I've seen them happen, what do you want me to say? Claiming this is 'just hype' is ostrich behavior. I've been playing with an abliterated Gemma 4 yesterday on my local machine. Yes it would take longer and require a bunch of harness fiddling, but even if OpenAI and Anthropic would collapse tomorrow, I'm confident I could still do the exact same thing the day after with with what I have right now on my hard disk. I'm not sure what you want me to tell you mate. Yes there's rough edges to work out or just in general workflows to improve but the ideas are way beyond 'proof of concept'. There's people like myself using these things for purposes that 6 months ago were science fiction. I don't care if you believe me or not, I'm just some dude on the internet, but level of delusion on how 'inferior' these models (with proper harnessing) are is mind boggling for someone like me who sees it happen literally 20 centimeters to the side on my screen from where I see people claim that those things are impossible.

Made a completely different experience. Every once in a while you have to run a command. Over the last 10-12 years there were I think 2 problems where this did not work out of the box.
Well, you know. Every med student goes through this "I Am An Earthly God" phase. Usually it passes. In this case, I'm probably looking more for the "amphetamine psychosis crashout" outcome. But the guy isn't obviously in favor of the concept for which his account is named.
This is the second comment like that. It was honestly not intended - it was actually me trying to respond in my own context to the post, and WHY I was responding; "why" is more important to me than "what," and I have a hard time saying "this" without explaining why I felt "this" - or at least trying to explore it. I'm working on a site; reading the "this kind of thing is how people do things these days" actually made the concept of working on the site (which I hope has value) harder. That's what I was saying, or trying to; the "advertisement" was context, not intent, or else I'd have tried to post my own thing to HN saying "look at how ossum my seite are!"
The economics of movies, tv etc are changing. If the Warner Bros purchase goes through it will only get worse. The debt load the acquiring company will have will increase pressure on actor paydays. And let’s not forget who is controlling the company. It will be ugly.
The design with hot/cold storage makes it much more interesting than FDB for some use cases. FDB is an excellent DB with very strong operational guarantees, TigerBeetle seems to be specialized for financial data and to optimize perf/cost ratio.
Capitalism is a continuum, not a binary, hence occasional discussion "China is communist!" "No, it is state-capitalism!"
Is Russia currently capitalist, or non-capitalist? Which is Myanmar?
Anyway, personally I think it's the wrong axis; while capitalism and democracy and free press are often correlated, I think that the latter two are the important ones for actually choosing the lesser evils, though capitalism does generate more options to choose between.
Oh absolutely - the old saying about only having a hammer and seeing each problem as a nail applies.
On the positive side, they've decided to come down from "superintelligence", "superchanging workflows" and other bullshit to the actual feature - 3x speed of text generation. Which is not quite the problem that needed to be solved in software engineering, but as you said yourself...
I believe that in general the comments pointing to alternatives and the shameless plugs are useful in these HN threads.
Such comments have become more useful recently, as a form of curated search, when standard Internet searching has started to provide an avalanche of garbage links, to Web pages that only summarize or repeat the primary sources, frequently with errors and failing to point to the original sources.
Even if inspecting the suggested alternatives may show them as worthless, finding this may still save time over using a search engine and having to filter an order of magnitude more misleading links.
>> But Blank's point is that he didn't even know the opportunity existed
His point is that, true. However, it relies on a big assumption.
Blank confidently says that opportunities were missed, and he knows they were missed only because they weren't taken. My counterargument was "Chris could have chosen not to get involved. It's not necessary a lack of awareness on his part"
The interesting question isn't "can CF run agent inference" — it's what the routing layer needs to look like for multi-turn workflows. Shipping agent systems to enterprise clients the last year, the bottleneck is never raw tokens/sec. It's (a) state checkpointing betweentool calls, (b) cold-start latency on embedding/rerank models, (c) rate-limit coordination across concurrent agent loops. Does CF expose per-session state, or still stateless-per-request? Without that, you end up building the interesting part yourself.
Sure, you can 'see' how 'someone sees the world' just by him or her not abiding to the current narrative. You do realise that the 'Lena' image has been the standard image for these purposes for decades and that some people might not consider the (politically charged) crusade to suddenly ban it from all such use as being the most pressing issue?
I think what you wrote here says more about how you see the world than how Goyal sees it.
I can confirm from experience that reviewing your own code for vulnerabilities has fallen under "prohibited uses" starting with Opus 4.6 as recently as april 10; forcing me to spend a day troubleshooting and quarantining state from my search system.
"This request triggered restrictions on violative cyber content and was blocked under Anthropic's Usage Policy. To learn more, provide feedback, or request an exemption based on how you use Claude, visit our help center: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8241253-safeguards-wa..."
"stop_reason":"refusal"
To be fair, they do provide a form at https://claude.com/form/cyber-use-case which you can use, and in my case Anthropic actually responded within 24 hours, which I did not expect.
I admit I'm now once bitten twice shy about proceeding though.
Opus 4.7 was still 'pausing' (refusing) random things on web when I tested it yesterday, so I don't know that the form applies to 4.7 or how narrow the exemptions are or etc.
If humans only work so that they can live, and wouldn't ever work if they didn't have to - then why do so many of our best inventions and advances come from people who didn't give a toss about profit?
If we have the technological means and capability to reduce employment to 10% - why wouldn't we?
Is it so impossible to imagine a world where people only work when they want to? Where the jobs that "no one would do if they weren't desperate" just pay very well instead?
Also, if you really think every UBI study is fundamentally flawed, feel free to design and run your own. Until then, maybe you could do better than waving a hand and invoking a hypothesis to try and invalidate literally every study that speaks against your claim, lol.
