Funny story: I used to work for a startup which had a trademark on "Airdrop". When Apple announced that feature, it took everyone there by surprise. Ended up reaching out and selling it to them for a buck or two in favor of maintaining goodwill.

Like a monkey at a camera, the automated output from an LLM does not automatically afford protection.

> Pulse oximeters have some limitations. They can only employ light at two wavelengths. Thus the devices can only distinguish between hemoglobin and oxygenated hemoglobin. When carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin are also present, there are two additional wavelengths required for differentiation. In the presence of elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels, pulse oximetry overestimates the true saturation of oxygen as carboxyhemoglobin binds with a higher affinity than oxygen. In the case of carbon monoxide poisoning, the absorbance spectrum of carbon monoxide is very similar to hemoglobin, which results in a falsely high level of oxygen (overestimation of oxygen saturation) ...

What if I prompt Claude to go prompt Suno? What if the same chain happens internally at Suno? Easy to imagine the human input being very dilute and a small part overall.

Seems like Tidal is leaning on a probable lack of copyright for fully generated works here, otherwise wouldn't this run head-first into the music modernization act?

An LLM will rarely be able to move the needle on ethos or pathos beyond generating well-formed sentences with proper spelling.

That's like explaining frost-jacking of a wall in terms of temperature instead of hydrology.

It's likely running on the original infrastructure from acquisition, is full of EOL dependencies, and likely wasn't well-secured to begin with even before the takeover.

Any changes to regulatory requirements are also likely ignored. The EULA is probably full of all sorts of falsehoods about how they maintain the site. ("We use commercially standard methods to secure and blah blah blah ...")

Keeping these kinds of zombie sites online is not a win-win situation.

Fantastic tool for shaking out hidden bus factors.

So far, haven't seen any other notable cloud price increases. Thought for sure they'd be reevaluating by now, I'm surprised to see the stability.

There have been enough Crockpots and similar kitchen appliances pulled down by children onto themselves that it's driven two trends in the American kitchen:

- Short power cords, to avoid cords being accessible from below

- Placement of power outlets: to ensure there are enough to be used with the short cords and not tempt extension cord usage, and to keep outlets and cords plugged into them inaccessable.

There's a lot of tension in that last one, and the NEC has gone back and forth on how to regulate outlet placement, eg on kitchen islands, and where they should be allowed to go.
