I would say it's definitely useful for side projects. You have to manage your context windows a bit more but it's still definitely worth the money

You clearly didn't read the article closely enough. The first header is "The Numbers Aren’t Working Out." If it was about the audience, they would have switched stopped earlier.

Those numbers are the real news here - that's a brutal drop in traffic. Are other organisations seeing the same?

I agree with you. It's clear that they're leaving X because "X bad", but they don't want to say it that way. I don't know if X is or isn't bad, but it seems pretty mainstream and a good representation of a lot of society, both US and international, so for an org that apparently cares for the online rights of people, it feels silly to leave a platform where there are - people. (and this is coming from someone who doesn't use X or social media in general)

It is a poor representation of society internationally. Twitter has never been a big platform outside the US (and Japan I believe). It's irrelevant most other places.

It’s pretty relevant in the UK and globally in tech too.

Can someone who works regularly with agents explain the value of stuff like this? From my (admittedly limited) perspective it seems like a novel way to waste tokens


It's fun. That's the utility. Although you could also probably convey information in a visual shorthand in a way that is quicker to parse than a table.

I want one that shows my agents working in a hipster coffee shop with chrono trigger-style lighting.

This is a USP for the Slate Truck. A lot of early commentary lauded the simplicity

Korea makes pretty good EVs as well


Not a single manufacturer out there makes a "good" ev.

All have proprietary bullshit parts, proprietary fancy software with features that nobody gives a fuck about, and are all expensive. Im not paying fucking 30k for a Nissan leaf. EVs are supposed to be simple. Where is my 12k OTD Corolla with a battery and a motor instead of an engine?

Meanwhile BYD has an app that auto parallel parks. And China has cars like Greely M9 that are not only packed full of features, but also has a gas engine that acts like a generator.


And BYD doesn't have propietary software? Also this leaves out Kia and Hyundai, the latter which I would argue has some of the best EVs and in Europe with the Inster also one of the most affordable ones without it being stripped down completely.


BYDs software is basically android, and their software stack is fully integrated as an appliance piece, which means you get all the features of android. Some versions you could even root.

> Also this leaves out Kia and Hyundai

Let me know when they make a $10k car and then ill consider them "good". The prices they sell their cars at are ridiculous for the utility that you can get with gas cars.


Ah that puts into context some of the headlines I've seen about Ukraine making arms deals with other countries.

https://english.kyodonews.net/articles/-/72301

It is very odd to see the defense industry live up to its name for once


Ukraine has been incredibly restrained given the atrocities perpetrated on them. To the point that during the Kursk incursion the residents preferred the Ukrainians over their own countryfolk.


That was not their argument at all. Their argument was that we're not carpet bombing Iran.

They're quite explicit that they're on your side, why question their motivations?


I feel like labeling is probably the best approach here. While I personally hate the business model of "Gatcha" type games and wouldn't mind if we banned lot boxes, it is a model does seem to work for a lot of people.

I also think the odds should also be not only disclosed, but made prominent


> "Gatcha" type games

Typically spelled "gacha", although I have to admit that "gotcha" seems apt.


From ガチャ; the "t" is not really there in the Japanese pronunciation, although it is used for transliteration of English words with T like チケット (chiketto, from ticket)

You're not missing anything. It's just an AI generated summary of the original GitHub link https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

I found the original article much easier to read anyways


> The problem with democracy is that it can easily become a revolving door wherein capital holders can choose which candidates are allowed to approach the door.

I've reached similar conclusions about the problems with democracy but always struggle with any potential solutions. Looking at the the world, I don't see any viable alternative forms of government, just slight variations that still suffer from the same core problems but to a lesser degree
