When you read the code, what you propose is actually its exclusive use... logging.

> The inexorable rise of podcasts, and the expansion into audio journalism by formerly print-only news outlets like The New York Times, has chipped away at traditional radio’s presence in public life.

Reads almost like the NYT is bragging about itself contributing to the shutdown?

We are talking about the instant checkout feature: https://openai.com/index/buy-it-in-chatgpt/

Assuming you visited this "not a well known site" directly, you did not use the "ChatGPT checkout" feature discussed in TFA

No. What they're saying is ISO multiplies brightness, essentially exasperating differences. Roughly, ISO 200 is 2x gain and so on. So if you have one pixel with a brightness value of 1, and the pixel to the left has a brightness of 5, and an ISO of 500, then it becomes brightness 5 and 25 respectively. Oversimplification.

It only works because the other provider has a more private implementation compounded with bad security.

(I am a social democrat, not a libertarian) All models require to some extent the youth working, but not all require a part of the youth's fruits of their labour being taken and put into social security. A libertarian might say that the onus is on the boomers to save enough money to fund their own retirement so that they're not reliant on the social security safety net.

I think what you are referring to is the economical model of growth at all costs (for this I use the term blitzscaling)

I think of hyperscaling as more like growth faster than what the team can manage, for any reason.

Hypergrowth can be natural. Random example but what if you designed a microblogging service and all of the sudden the biggest platform gets bought by a facist and users come flocking? You could start turning users away or you could work as fast as you can to accommodate them and make small mistakes along the way. Both of these are reasonable decisions and neither one is really wrong.

Can vouch for the nomad. Battery is about 6 months and can be wirelessly recharged in a day. Speaker is a bit quiet but functional. Updates reliably and frequently.

I would just like to point out that Michael Reeves (the poster, no relation to youtuber) is a high schooler who has also found numerous high impact vulnerabilities in Apple software. Immensely talented.
