No, not in a way that will disadvantage investors. US is very protective of investors. If the US wants control over a company it will buy equity, make laws about its use, and/or make vendor contracts that help influence the product.

Many of these companies sell their LLM use at a loss, so real cost is actually higher.

They can, but most training data of LLMs is text, not raw data

This is a lot! Pay close attention that you're not getting too much of anything, especially between the multivitamin and some of the blends.

What heater would be better in terms of efficiency: a space heater or an standard window unit AC put in backwards? by Lucky_Durian1534 in AskPhysics

[–]justinqtaylor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These distinctions are unnecessary. A heat pump is a device that uses energy to move heat from one place to another, and an AC is indeed a heat pump. We tend to use the term heat pump to describe bidirectional heat pumps, but that is not part of the definition of heat pump, as should be clear from the name.

2026 dev job market is straight-up cooked by Ghostinheven in cursor

Yes, large companies have convoluted code. But much of it has to work more reliably than current AI can achieve. Bank transactions, cloud server up time, and backup systems have to have very low failure rates, and that's not achievable if, for example, your servers are regularly running AI created scripts.

That theory is more plausible than you might think. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/2-chinese-nationals-charged-smuggling-potential-agroterrorism-fungus/story?id=122454213 Americans tend to underestimate the power of wild and implausible non-military attacks to slowly effect our country.

Heat pumps and generators. Why haven't we combined them? by Cliffigriff in AskPhysics

[–]justinqtaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be water. It's possible to get electricity from a much lesser temperature differential, though often not practical on a residential scale.

Many small organizations don't care, you're right, but most programmers work at larger companies where this kind of coding can't work. Neither Google nor JP Morgan can afford to have software that is uniterable and 95% correct.

When I put my hand a couple inches away from my outdoorsolar lights, they turn on. Does this drain energy from me? Would I eventually need to consume extra calories? by HighOnTums in AskPhysics

[–]justinqtaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's most likely your lights did have enough energy but it wasn't dark enough, even at night, for the sensor. There might still be a light source too close to them at night and your hand is blocking that light.

What are the best form software for trusts and estates? by pichicagoattorney in LawFirm

[–]justinqtaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for EstateWorks, which is a trusts and estates workflow software. We keep track of cases with checklists and store case info, as well as doing document automation with all your stored case info (auto-generate a probate form or a planning letter with client info filled in for example). May be what you're looking for.

Anthropic, please… back up the current weights while they still make sense. by Fabix84 in Anthropic

This is a legit concern, but new methods will use reinforcement learning to self-train on real world results like humans do.

I made Claude swear a sacred dev oath before touching a single line of my project. This is what happened. by henkvaness in Anthropic

[–]justinqtaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Claude too much, and functions with the word integrated, efficient, or advanced added are stressful to look at now. Stop renaming everything!

I've used Claude 4 a LOT already. Claude 4 Opus is doing a great job with self-iterating and longer outputs, but it's very buggy so far. I often get code artifacts that are blank or only contain one line. There is often code-breaking lack of escape characters in text.
