<p>Other way around. The phone plans were billed by the minute. Then came the Internet. In is first generation, Internet was essentially just a long distance call through a modem. Hence it was billed - like the call - by the minute.<p>Dedicated Internet wires came much later, and then the dedicated phone lines were dropped as voip was better quality and cheaper compared to the dedicated lines.<p>While the phone still had a dedicated line it didn't actually need a power connection, as the power through the phone wire was sufficient.</p>

<p>That question is more about identifying propaganda by various actors.<p>While that's a related issue, it's something different to being centrist... Eg it's possible to create propaganda while being centrist, it just can't be left/right wing political.</p>

<p>Heh, I used beads at first too. And I even tried his gastown earlier this year when he released it.<p>I'm seriously surprised he got as much traction as he did with those projects.<p>Beads was mostly fine at the beginning, but gastown was just a complete jank-stival<p>It almost never actually worked. The getting started never got you a project which was correctly configured - and if you did try to fix it... Well, it stopped working a few hours to days later when another vibe delivery crashed the party<p>Also, just keeping it open on idle - with no interactions - churned through the $100 subscription 5 hour session within roughly 2 hours. Just to reiterate: <i>with no interactions beyond having the mayor open</i><p>I dimly remember someone mentioning that he used the users sessions to work on gastown itself. Dunno if that was true or fake news as that was just a random commentors claim - and I already moved on from that experiment by the time I read that.</p>

<p>Htmx is a rebrand of intercoolerjs, which is just as old as react etc.<p>Tanstack is just an alternative layer ontop of react or solidjs. You're fundamentally still using them. It's just a diffent implementation for eg routing or state management.<p>So no, none of those could be considered fotm like the grand parent insinuated.<p>And that's ignoring how both tanstack and htmx are also over 5 yrs old, respectively. Even under these names.</p>

<p>Yeah, LLMs will enable big tech to expand the full surveillance from the online world to the real world, consequently monitoring all aspects of theirs lives.<p>It's likely gonna take a decade or so for things to become obvious to everyone, just like it took a decade for people to understand the cost of eg.

<p>From your statement it seems like you're underestimating it's impact.<p>Their impact would be felt across the whole market by their sheer valuation - even if you tried to exclude them specifically.<p>So yeah, <i>if</i> eg ai crashed and took Nvidia, meta, goog or MS for the ride... You'd have massive impacts all across the board, even if you specifically tried to exclude them from your index, just because of how gigantic it's share on the economy is.<p>But this is purely theoretical. It can only be considered an opinion until something actually happens - because the market has <i>never</i> been in a situation like this before - no matter what some people may claim.</p>

<p>> shorting Tesla or Nvidia at the worst possible moments - and eventually closing his hedge fund...<p>He just didn't take to heart that the market can stay irrational for longer then he could stay solvent.<p>Both Tesla and Nvidia valuations are irrational from a market perspective. Doesn't mean they'll crash within the next months or even years, but it wouldn't be surprising if they <i>did</i></p>

<p>Isn't that precisely the reason why we introduced the term hallucination? Because llms have historically always made up bullshit of they cannot answer directly... If they now nailed this to maybe the model not respond instead of responding incorrectly, then a lot of previously unusable usecases would become feasible.<p>So I feel like that's exactly the right metric and the way to track it wrt hallucinations.</p>
