• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  PhD level LLM = paying MAs $21/hr to write summaries of paragraphs for them to improve off of. Google Gemini outsourced their work like this, so I assume everyone else did too.

  Bingo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says pharma tariffs could eventually reach up to 250%⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me guess: deadline hits, insulin suddenly costs 250% more, demand drops, companies don’t see a market, move to the US never happens, congratulations, you played yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there no universities/colleges that start in the afternoons?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MA/PhD full time is all afternoon/evening classes, usually one day a week per class. I don’t think we ever started before 1pm, though it was typically closer to a 3-6pm/6-9pm schedule. The idea was we’d do our assistantships and teach the undergrad courses in the mornings (8-10ams) and have the world’s most inconvenient office hours in the space after that (between 11-2ish).

  I used to think of it that way; however, one day, you may be the person who is in urgent need of help. It’s better to be in the system with an established history for if that day comes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | FCC to eliminate gigabit speed goal and scrap analysis of broadband prices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An FCC inquiry in September 2024 sought comment on how the FCC could add more pricing data to its annual analysis, noting that the March 2024 report lacked “granular price information, especially for rural areas, limited the analysis to overall patterns of affordability.”

  Easy. Ask the main players (AT&T, Spectrum, Comcast) how much for internet. When they don’t give a straight answer, because they’ll say it depends on bundles, that means it’s too much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A number of kids also don’t know “file system.” The filing cabinet is a foreign concept, as are many of the now-antiquated technologies referenced/adapted for desktop computing (the address card for your Rolodex, the floppy disk save icon). Tablets and phones are culturally moving us towards stuff being contained within its respective singular app, like all your word documents being within the word app rather than meticulously sorted through layers of folders (even though on the backend, it is). So returning to your first step: why have a browser as the first step when you could just skip having to search for anything because there’s an app? Plus, the delicious unskippable metrics.

  Didn’t he just pull a similar move with X/twitter to xAI? Sounds like his companies are an endless money pit and he’s desperately playing 3-card monte with them.

  Nah, they decided to buy a more affordable car with only a 3-star crash rating because they decided to get stressed about their only financing option being complete dogshit because of a wrecked economy, because they decided to have a job that required going into the office.
