There can only be so many "I saved 10x by moving to Hetzner" posts before they pick up the value they were leaving on the table...

Maybe they count them twice? That would work out to 41C if both sides are in shade (or 69C if one is shaded and one on the sunny side)

To buy stocks you need savings. 24% of Americans don't have any. Your scheme wouldn't benefit them. Or am I misreading it?

Woah just tried Sonnet with Legal plugin and it's scary! It did a decent job of putting the stuff I wanted in place but it made subtle corrections all over the place (deleting "but not limited to", "reasonable effort", "and all related interests", "(including any termination and refund rights)" all of which may be unnecessary or crucial but I don't trust Sonnet over the lawyer who put them in place in the first place!). Removing these had nothing to do with the task I've asked Sonnet to do.

I work with pathologists and radiology is way ahead of us with AI use in clinical setting (but still not very far). Only things that get serious use are lab-developed (ie not commercial) image analysis algorithms for very limited (tedious, error-prone and ultimately not that often used) biomarkers. Don't believe the hype.

You could also look at the market, one of the biggest players, Paige, was acquired for about 30% of the money they raised.

Nuget/.NET ecosystem just handles it so much better. Netvips assumes libvips is available and they provide packages for common platforms. No need to waste electricity rebuilding stuff, or install native build chains, build and test deps. Similar for Skia or Sqlite or whatever.

That would also be legal. But if you take the assets out of the daughter company you would go to prison for https://web.archive.org/web/20141030194421/http://www.sfo.go...

No, just Cline with Qwen 3.5 35B A3B.

I was thinking it's highly confidential (contract!) but thinking about it again I'll just publish the T&Cs so it didn't make sense to protect it.

The LLMs are not even that good at law. I have a license agreement that I wanted to turn into General Terms and Conditions and they kept failing or rewriting the whole thing from scratch when a competent lawyer would just do a few pinpoint changes
