Lobbying others being banned from using AI for this kind of stuff due to bioterrorism etc is an excellent anticompetitive move.

I for sure don't love any of the oligarchs, but how is Zuck worse than e.g. Musk?

I think the point was that it was written by hand (in the pen and paper sense) as shown in the photo.

How do you know? Doesn't read particularly LLM written to me, and even if it is, it's quite well written.

The author has been blogging about this kind of stuff for over 20 years. I'd be surprised if they suddenly let bots autonomously spam their blog.

What is this spam of generic comments about how Opus 5.5 is so great, with perhaps some anecdote? How is that discussing the submission?

I have no idea about Chinese pop culture, but it could be that for someone not familiar with it everything may be too unfamiliar for the differences to become appreciable.

For example I don't listen much electronic dance music (house, techno, trance etc), and whenever I end up in a club it sounds to me that its always the same loud thumping song playing. Those who go frequently do seem to find a lot of variation though.

Output for decisions have so few output items (not really tokens here) that they are negligible anyway. Jev hyping "free output" is almost lying by omission.

I did not eyeroll at every short, empty phrase stated with enormous confidence. :|

It was a pleasant, concise and informative read. I actually read it from beginning to end. Unlike many of the artisanal articles starting with how the author experienced the crema of the morning's espresso.

Seems to be slightly higher quality and substantially faster, although this compares remote API vs local deployment.

The prevalent idea of Jev's superiority in price, speed and accuracy seems to come from TypeSafe's marketing and their, I'd say even bad faith, benchmarking. In independent benchmarks the relative numbers tend to be very different.

You can get Gemma 4 26B A4B at the exact same token input price of $0.042/M. GPT-5 nano is not much more expensive at $0.05.

Jev doesn't support images, so it's hard to compare this directly. But in general this approach beats Jev in its own benchmarks for accuracy and speed and is about the same price.

Empirically this approach is more accurate, faster and about the same price as Jev.

There are no DE features I'm missing from GNOME 3. GNOME 3 respects the majority of the users, and this entails not making it a mess by catering to the vocal minority who can't move on from Windows 95.

Gnome 3 is one of the best things to happen to Linux on Desktop, and a salient example of actually modernizing the desktop.

My bet is that it's a bot error, but of a rule based one.

These problems were quite widely foreseen during the legislative process, and partly had already been exhibited by the earlier ePrivacy directive. I don't know whether it matters who's to blame, but my trust in EU being very effective in these fights in the future either is not very high.
