I mean, it’s pretty easy to see “JD Vance” and a word that looks strikingly similar to “Trump”, and infer the meaning of that word to be some sort of a joke version of “Trump”.
I didn’t get the reference, but I do have basic reading comprehension.
An “AI” company who doesn’t want their content scraped? Say it ain’t so! /s
I just used Shottr to take a scrolling screenshot and captured the whole policy. I could OCR it, but I have no idea what to do with it from there…
Objective truth.
I hope that [email protected] is an exception!
The fediverse just doesn’t have the audience nor ease of use to be the smart investment for most people, at least in the short term.
In the long term, I believe the fediverse would be the right move. However most people struggle to think long-term outside of their own fields, and scientists are not immune to this phenomenon.

I maintain that this was made purely as an income stream for registrars. Every single company and brand should be rushing to buy companyname.sucks. Every town buying yourtown.sucks. Every political candidate getting into bidding wars over candidate.sucks or opponent.sucks.
Wild! My cat is black/white medium hair, breed unknown. She was a rescue from a feral colony so I never got to know if her parents or siblings had similar issues. Our vet seemed to think her issue was autoimmune - essentially her body rejecting her teeth as if they were foreign objects - but they’ve never been 100% sure.
She was very healthy for a few years after her remaining teeth came out, then got sick again, and it turned out that her lower jaw had started to deteriorate. She’s been on steroids ever since and that has slowed the progress of the disease enough that she can live out the rest of her days in comfort.
I’ve heard a lot of things that are genetically odd about orange cats though. Fostered 3 different orange boys who had extra toes - none of them from the same litters. Yours are adorable and I’m glad you found a cure for their teeth problems!
My cat had this, took us years to figure out what it was, but she’s been so much happier and healthier since we removed her teeth.
I’ve never run into someone else whose cat had the same thing, let alone someone with two such cats.
Yes it’s a bad thing. This legislation gives very broad power to the federal government to ban apps and platforms without any oversight. It might be TikTok today, but it could be Lemmy tomorrow.
Fair. We’re using 4o and o1-mini right now, because access to the full o1 is waitlisted in Azure. However based on some brief review of their pricing for o1, I’d say we’re still going to save a metric fuckton of money compared to per-user subscriptions.
First I laughed, but now I’m seeing the genius.
I run tech for a midsize business, and consult for several small businesses. Aside from one 4-person company, all of the businesses I oversee found it less expensive to host their own LLM in Azure than to pay for OpenAI’s subscriptions. I’m talking 10% of the cost of subscriptions for the same functionality.
The midsize business in particular has only seen measurable benefit from more specialized/global applications of “AI” tools, such as integrating machine learning into data analytics. There are a ton of people who use the LLM chat, but I think the mishaps caused by the LLM may have undone any efficiency gains. Either way, I’m sure glad they’re not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for it.
Not the commenter you were arguing with, but I really liked that last sentence. I’m going to hang on to that feeling.
This drives me crazy. I’ve commented this before, but I’ll say it again:
People in the US love to cry first amendment (freedom of speech, etc) any time something they say has consequences.
Funny how the same people with wE tHe PeOpLe bumper stickers are the ones who haven’t actually bothered to read their own bill of rights. These people also seem to think that “free speech” (as they define it) should only apply to speech they agree with.
Seconded. Data breaches at big companies may be what makes the news, but small businesses (and other organizations) are compromised far more often.
I run an IT team, and if anyone ever suggested buying Windows Home for business use, they’d have a bad day.
Obligatory Poe’s Law mention, since Lenny seems to have agreed that it’s important.
Thank you for realizing the error of your ways

I had to look it up, and after reading a lengthily Wikipedia page on Greek mercenaries, I tried the second result: an XKCD comic I’ve seen before but had forgotten. So today, I’m one of the lucky 10,000 again.
