  • Especially for businesses. At work you'll have no choice but to use something like this.

    跳过

  • But the point is that Valve could easily be Amazon some day. All these little companies taking their first anticompetitive steps could.

    Of course everyone loves them when they’re small, and nice, and growing, until they get so big it’s way too late to do anything about it. But many will still feel loyalty, like they do to Amazon today.

  • President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems

    跳过

  • Eh, the context I was thinking of is that they are constantly playing “safety theatre” where it absolutely doesn’t matter. They’ve tried to kill open models and basically capture regulators by misleading or outright lying, for their benefit.

    In other words, this is a case of “a broken clock is right sometimes,” and I think they knew Trump will back down.

  • Pakistan bombs Kabul in 'open war' on Afghanistan's Taliban government

    跳过

  • Afghans use “tribal fundamentalists” and “big fucking mountains”

    Its super effective!

  • Silicon Valley Rallies Behind Anthropic in A.I. Clash With Trump

    跳过

  • Yeah… Microsoft and Google have a list of employees to fire now.

    Trump will back off to some extent, to avoid inflaming stock markets (and his Big Tech friends heavily invested in Anthropic tooling).

    Anthropic will fire a few people. OpenAI will raise money somehow.

    That’s about it.

  • President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems

    跳过

  • That’s basically always been the case anyway, except for Gemini for long context, perhaps.

    And, of couse, prioritize open models over API. It’s:

    Open training models > open weights models > restrictively licensed open models > open weights models over API > Claude/Gemini

  • President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems

    跳过

  • Anthropic is self righteous and self serving.

    Like, I like local LLMs more than most, and Anthropic models are great at the moment, but don’t mistake Anthropic for having a spine.

  • President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems

    跳过

  • Talk in other comment sections suggests this means Nvidia (or AMD, or Cerebras, or Intel or anyone) can’t legally supply Anthropic with hardware.

    So it effectively kills Anthropic? And that would sink the stock market.

    As at the other extreme, a lot of Big Tech (like Palantir) is heavily reliant on Anthropic, which would unsettle the oligarchs and likely force Trump to walk back.

    I don’t know if this is true, but this does smell like one of Trumps many “unenforceable tweets”

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

    跳过

  • This is exactly my point; it’s easy to jump in and defend Valve for their good points when, at the end of the day, they take a third of all profits for themselves and have a pseudo monopoly with their platform, just to start.

    One can make similar positive points about Amazon, about how much they can save retailers and consumers, especially before they enshittified so significantly.

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

    跳过

  • I think they’re talking about Steam key resellers, which I wasn’t referencing. That’s a whole other thing (and can indeed be priced lower than the main storefront, with some complications IIRC).

  • Incel propaganda in my music app

    跳过

  • It's not an accident.

    It's probably not a conspiracy.

    If seeing that so much as pauses your scrolling, the algo counts that as "engagement," and that gets modeled into your profile for all of time. That's all it cares about, not incel stuff specifically... though rage bait happens to work very well, which is how these jerks make a living.

    You might fix it with a new account from a different IP.

  • White House circulating blatantly illegal draft emergency order to take control of elections

    跳过

  • It really is anticlimactic.

    We get an honest to god pedo cabal, and a federal powergrab, and the response from factions who dedicated entire lives to warning, as loud as they can shout, about these two exact things is...

    "Meh?"

    Meanwhile, it seems the world is chanting for the Clintons to burn at the stake; the opposite of what they expected?

    I would be so confused if I was QAnon.

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    跳过

  • Way too many DVDs are interlaced/telecined though.

    Or worse, some hellish combination of both, because the producers edited different sources together. It makes scaled footage, panning, and some motion look really awful or jittery once you notice it.

    Blu rays don't necessarily escape this either, as they butcher the conversion to 24p and then you can't even fix it.

    For all their problems, streaming giants usual do this better. Amazon (and probably Netflix) had employees hanging out in the doom9 A/V forums long ago.

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    跳过

  • Dark scenes on a poor quality TV can look awful.

    But many times they're encoded dreadfully anyway, and DVDs tend to be better in this respect.

    Interlacing is awful though.

    跳过

  • Yeah…

    That’s how Amazon worked. At first.

    Back then, online shopping kind of sucked, and this little book store company made its so streamlined I got invested.

    跳过

  • I’ve pointed out Valve doing basically the same thing; games can’t be priced lower than Steam on competing game storefronts (not Steam key resellers), or Valve will threaten to delist your game. Which would be essentially kill it. And they obviously do this to protect their chunky store fee.

    But personal loyalty goes a long way.

    I’m trying to reframe the perspective here, not drag into an argument about Valve. A whole lot of people feel good about finding “deals” on Amazon, about Amazon services that have helped them, and especially about the value and convenience the whole platform provides. It’s easy for Lemmy to hate on Amazon, but for the average person, I think this is a harder sell than most of us realize. They’ll dismiss it as the “market working” or California sensationalism or, more likely, just filter it out as noise in their feed, just like most PC gamers would when they read something bad about Valve.

  • At least 3 major outlets — The New York Times, The Guardian, and Reddit — have blocked the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from accessing their content

  • Yep.

    TBH I think it’s kind of silly for the Fediverse to try and block scraping, as long as that scraping isn’t effectively a DDoS. It’s public.
