I am also very curious what the actual cost of this is, esp. if you are not an Anthropic employee and have to pay the API cost.

On a side note, what is your take on AVIF vs WebP? I recently moved my site to 11ty and looking to re-encode several hundreds of images. I do want to keep the quality of the photos as much as I can, while reducing the network load.

WebP is pretty much equal to JPEGs via jpegli (for lossy compression). AVIF is better than WebP and jpegli JPEGs for lossy compression and supported pretty much everywhere now. AVIF is worse than WebP for lossless compression.

jpegli JPEGs will convert to lossy JPEG XL without generation loss when JPEG XL is more well supported.

I think there is a fundamental idea that the only way to measure success of companies is the monetary value to shareholders. US companies optimize for that and they cannot believe other countries/cultures would have a different value system.

Neurodivergent is not just one thing.

Are there people on the autism spectrum at leadership level? - Steve Jobs was considered to be one even though he was not formally diagnosed as one.

Are there people on ADD/ADHD spectrum at leadership levels - yes, I know of a few..

Are there people with sociopathic tendencies at leadership level - You can answer this one :)

I guess you have not been to LinkedIn in a while :)

The fact he did not even spot the actual problem is worrying. Did someone know that the button color was changed in the new version of the software?

I do not remember where I read this, but it has struck with me for the last 35+ years - "Poverty is a crime, but the poor are not guilty of it".

I have seen abject poverty growing up in India.. It is right in your face most of the times. I have friends from the other side of the street and pretty much, you live in very different realities.

Looking at the graph in the article, it starts falling off from 2010 and it is actually on a uptick in last year. A honest reading would be that internet has increased access to information and AI is obfuscating it again.

looks closer to that tick up starting exactly around 2022... if those notches after 2010 are 5-year marks.

As in, you witnessed 5 murders or 5 people you know got killed/happened near you etc?

If so, I do not know how to tell you that this sounds insane..

From what I am reading, that is not the final price.. that is the room price and they add a ton of fees to that price

I'll nitpick here and say that Russia's plan was more likely to topple the government and put a puppet in place and then leave, but they botched that.

> Russia wants to rule over Ukraine, not destroy it.

Can’t it be both? It’s hard to argue they aren’t trying to destroy it. It has been attempted in the past during the Holodomor.

The context of post-civil war stalinism and food/industrial policy was a little different from modern Russian empire-building.

Russia's end goal here is a cultural genocide.

Russia destroys its colonies. It wants to destroy ukraine. And it wants cultural genocide.
