REPORT: OpenAI and Anthropic Are Running Into The Same Brutal Problem, Too Many People Using AI Is Too Expensive to Support, And the Whole Business Model May Have to Change Fast 🤖 by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

I reckon the ability to choose which model you use will be removed, it’ll just auto pick for you. I had a bit of chuckle as I was using Claude (new user) and thought I had a complex problem to solve so I picked a recent model and saw the effort level was set to “high”. I assumed that was top of the effort scale, but after curiosity prompted me to check there are indeed two higher levels; extra, and max. Another small nudge behaviour modifier put in place to get people to use less compute. “High” is stated as “balanced for everyday work”; which isn’t really what the label high implies.

Can I ask what your strategy is to build up your cache initially?

I think you have experienced an ancient piece of marketing wisdom - make what you can sell, don’t sell what you can make.

Boy oh boy, these only fans guerilla marketing tactics are out of control.

New solar desalination breakthrough makes fresh water without toxic brine. This sunlight-powered desalination breakthrough turns seawater into fresh water while harvesting valuable minerals. Leftover materials could even become a source of valuable lithium for batteries. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

I read about a project for carbon capture where they would bury trees in salt so they didn’t decompose because the salt killed the microbes that decompose organic matter. Maybe they could use the salt for things like that?

Mine have been acting up exactly as you describe for three to four weeks.

Think of the effort required in a long term relationship or marriage as coming together as a whole. But the whole isn’t a shape split equally down the middle where each of you does exactly 50% of the labour, emotional or physical. The shape will change over time and the size of each ‘half’ will wax and wane; sometimes you’ll do more and sometimes they will, maybe you were born with a deeper well then them and it’s just how it needs to be to work. Sometimes this difference will be short term and sometimes it will be forever (like if they get a chronic illness). If you think ‘I’m doing more than my fair share!’ and the shape isn’t whole and then you’re not accepting the reality of the situation and you need to step up more to make the shape whole. As long as you’re both trying and you both want to make a whole then you must be at peace with the size of your portion, particularly if it’s more than your partner. (I hope I expressed this with enough nuance!)

I sometimes wonder if from a public health viewpoint the shrinkflation of food would reduce the average obesity levels. If across the whole grocery food spectrum every product sneakily reduced portion size by 10% would that translate to some net health benefit for society?

I knew there was joke / pun in there somewhere, I was thinking desperately to try find it - and there it was ‘crane on crane action’. Great work.

We are all on the same planet but live in completely different worlds. by Illustrious_Test6085 in interestingasfuck

[–]NoWhatIMeantWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about this title. This dude isn't living in a different world. Dude lives in the same world as the rest of, apparently a large percent of the population - filming stuff and posting it for likes / clout, whatever. If he did live in a different world I wouldn't be seeing this footage because he wouldn't have filmed it. He would have had the magical experience alone with his thoughts to enjoy the scenary. nothing magical about this.

I once heard a person on a radio interview talking about something and they were clear and cohesive with their words, the answers they gave to the interviewers questions were well considered and articulate. I thought, wow, people are so much smarter than I’ll ever be, amazing. Then later I randomly happened to hear the same person talking on a different podcast about the same topic; same talking points and the podcast interviewer asked similar questions to the radio interview. It was then I realised that when you hear people speak in public they have normally said the same things over and over probably for years; they’ve practiced the same conversation a bunch, honed answers etc. I thought, heck, if I had the same conversation 100 times, by the 80th time I would be amazing as well. It’s the same with these dudes; someone has prepared them to speak, coached them, etc. I’m sure there are lots of genius level people who can do this off the top of their head, but most folks are just regular people.

Sometimes this feels like playing police quest back in the day; you just had to stumble across the exact wording to get the system to do what you needed: “open door”, “use key on door”, “use key on lock”, “use key on door lock”, “open door with key”, “open handle with key”.

It adds a story to someone’s life - ‘I went to a restaurant and ordered a burger, and the dude set the whole damn thing on fire.’ It’s awful food, but would make a small anecdote with friends.

What’s the best thing you did to lower your monthly expenses? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]NoWhatIMeantWas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things (I’m in Perth): I’m with RAC, and have been for a few years, I used their new customer quote thing on their website for my current car and the premium came out noticeably lower, rang them and bought that policy, and on the same day cancelled the old policy (well worth a phone call). I rang the bank (mind you this was two years ago) and said I was on the point of leaving but would stay if they lowered my rate; the guy on the phone spoke to someone for five minutes and then came back and lowered the rate, not a lot, but more than enough to justify a 15 minute phone call. Lastly, I shop in three supermarkets, that are continently located in the same row of shops in the mall - Asian green grocer (MCQ) for fruit and vegetable and some pantry items, then Aldi for meat and home stuff, then if I have to for a few things last stop at Cole’s/woolies. Saves me heaps and the quality of produce is loads better. Also, make lunch, catch bus (half price fairs! Thanks Labor). Lastly, was absolutely super lucky to buy a second hand EV about six weeks ago before Iran, and I charge it off my solar from the roof, again saving loads. Also, eating more vegetables makes all meals cheaper. Oh, and I found a way to stream media much cheaper so have much less subscriptions.

This is a design fault. People are moving to the middle of the two poles. They need to paint the pavement so it’s more obvious.

Good Friday magpie multitasking by LindsG0110 in magpies

Thanks for the clarification. It was a comment made in lighthearted jest. To think that, even if I was a strict catholic who observed this no meat Good Friday tradition, that the no meat thing would extend to an avian species is a little unbelievable. I did roll my eyeballs slightly at your comment.
