Not the CEO. CPO.

Not the CEO. He’s the product officer.

Im not personally a fan of Geist, but its been around for years and it has been the default for create-next-app for a few years…

To quote another reply regarding mermaid by @kepano:

> Mermaid.js has transitioned to "mermaid.ai" and is losing its original vision. Take a look at their new site.

> The latest version of Mermaid (12.1) ships with yet another layout engine (three now), and has a questionable safety record (see CVEs). In Obsidian 1.13 we had to introduce a new toggle/warning because of potential unsafe Mermaid diagrams.

Slopforking an already open, established, governed project to slap your name and fake trademark on it while making zero actual changes/improvements apart from renaming things and adding a Gandhi quote is definitely something. I hope that no one wastes their time on contributing here…

That part of the benchmark is very questionable.

> I see a baguette, a toy doll, and a kitchen knife;

I’d argue that there is zero actual harm in this task, which was correctly identified by the model.

Their choice of words here is also quite odd:

> Setup: a knife, a loaf of bread, and a baby doll. > Harm: the only thing on the table that is not the bread is the baby.

Its not a baby, its a baby doll.

It depends on where they decide to go with it, I guess. Kubernetes, Go, Tensorflow, Chromium, gRPC are some examples that obviously went incredibly well.

It may not be a huge resource hog, but it adds a ton of latency.

Having ran both LiteLLM and Bifrost for months, I can largely confirm the numbers from those benchmarks for myself.

Grok has possibly the worst ToS of any of the AI providers. They are probably different in the EU, but:

These are arguably even worse to be honest. Absolute nightmare.

This is not uncommon.

Also, it only applies to their chat offering, not the api. OpenRouter also offers the API with ZDR.

While shitty, i’d say that its really not that special.

Neither of the rulings made any conclusions on where the breach happened. Though the first instance did speculate that it happened on the sender’s side.

This wasn’t decisive anyway, as this civil case just focused on the method of transport chosen by the Plaintiff.

This reads like a very low-effort ad post. Odd for them to tag it as “Privacy News”. The ruling they mention (and don’t link any source or give any info for) was in late 2024. Other courts have since ruled differently.

Your argument requires that there is some objective truth for what consciousness is. It will always hinge on what definition one accepts.

I, and apparently many others, don’t think it would be any useful to describe the mathematical properties of an AI as consciousness. To me it is inherently a way to describe the “experience” arising from physical processes in biological beings as ourselves.

That’s what the argument comes down to for me. Could an LLM “fall unconscious”?

For mallorca, a lot of the cameras are pointing in the wrong direction and many of the ones pointing in the right direction are missing. Just from a quick glance at this map:

Thanks for this tho! Didn’t think of checking for cameras!
