The answer lies within the article

Publishers legally control content that AI companies desperately want, but AI companies don’t always want to negotiate a license. The first-sale doctrine offered a workaround: Once you buy a physical book, you can do what you want with that copy—including destroy it. That meant buying physical books offered a legal workaround.

And yet buying things is expensive, even if it is legal. So like many AI companies before it, Anthropic initially chose the quick and easy path. In the quest for high-quality training data, the court filing states, Anthropic first chose to amass digitized versions of pirated books to avoid what CEO Dario Amodei called “legal/practice/business slog”—the complex licensing negotiations with publishers. But by 2024, Anthropic had become “not so gung ho about” using pirated ebooks “for legal reasons” and needed a safer source.

“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?

A simple calculator will also beat it at math.

I feel the same about youtube. I pay for premium, but sometimes creators bake in their own ads. I wish youtube would pay creators enough so they wouldn’t have to do it.

You also support big tech by giving them traffic and watching the ads. The only way to not support them is to not use it.

Podcast ads are easy to skip. Still, i pay subscription to my favourite podcast network to support them, and it’s more convenient not having to skip.

Tons of legacy code that has to run at startup.

I think his conclusion was the same as yours. He learned the engineering lesson and added the human skills.

I only had a problem with it once, but having no experience with it really confused me.

I was mounting a directory to a docker container and i kept getting permission errors. The errors were not descriptive at all and really confused me as i already had sudo privileges and wasn’t expecting any problems with permission.

That Explains why those roads don’t exist

“I’m metric, be gentle”

Something tells me the companies sabotaged the smaller phones so they can charge more for the giant “pro” devices.

I opted for the smaller pixel 9pro last year because i didn’t have to compromise (it has the same specs as 9pro xl). My previous phone was 7 pro, it was the bigger model and if i went for the smaller 7 model, I’d have to forego the telephone camera.

I really like the smaller 9pro over my previous 7pro phablet. The size ia more manageable, although it’s probably still larger than the early smartphones, but since we moved to touchscreena, larger screens are necessary for typing. The larger size also houses bigger battery necessary to power the display whose resolution has gone way up over the years.

Because recreating entire object just to make a single change is dumb.

God help you if you’ve already passed the object by reference and have to chase up all the references to point at the new version!

So, Bluetooth?

In my experience smb support on Linux is even worse than on Android. I can’t watch a video from my NAS on a Linux laptop, but I can on my android phone or TV.

I know NFS exists but it’s too confusing for me, particularly authentication.

Isn’t it true of all AI technologies? What makes DeepSeek unique in this context?

If you’re buying on ebay and use PayPal, PayPal provides the consumer protection. That’s been my experience anyway.

No, i wouldn’t like to be a center of attention.

It is, but they’re not allowed to talk about it. Social credit.

“adding a feature” = “forcing”
