He said transistor count on chip doubles. (The more accurate pithy comment would be they took it as available resources.)

'Truck driver' here serving only to put him down, because the feat wouldn't be expected of such a person?

Seems to me like papers' infamous (at least in the UK) references to victims' or alleged perpatrators' house prices, to instruct our sympathy, when it's not otherwise at all relevant.

“Normal person with normal job”

This isn’t someone working as a full time artist, this isn’t someone living off a trust fund, this isn’t someone selling their creating for millions for the money laundering. This is just a “man in his shed” with a blue collar job doing something awesome.

It says “anyone can doing something awesome”, you don’t need a fancy upbringing or million dollar backing.

Artist who spent 20 years making a scale model of every building in NYC, makes a living as a truck driver.

Why to "put him down"? You seem to be making a tacit assumption that the work driving a truck is something one should look down upon.

Is it lifting him up? It's certainly irrelevant, is my point. My assumption then is that it's because it's supposed to be surprising. 'Hobbyist spends 20y on their hobby' isn't that surprising, even if the hobby is interesting; instead of letting the story stand on that interest, they're attempting to add 'shock and awe'.

Putting him down is your judgement revealing your own biases. Personally, I saw it as a put up. He's not some privileged prick, he's a normal guy!

Depending, of course, on how many artworks he’s sold.

Artworks sold by artist is a very poor way to define who is and is not an artist. Look at Vincent van Gogh who only sold one painting.

I saw a video of some French politician's speech on Reddit; most commenters were praising the guy's English. It was AI dubbed...

Unless it was a chicken coöp... One of few cases it actually resolves an ambiguity!

Firefox on Android: 'Google AI' (in app name) is clipped off the top; the Apple 'share' button is clipped on the bottom.

I think it's fair enough that 'the assistant in the GUI/cloud program X, like Clippy++' has the same name for all X.

But it's absolutely bonkers that that's the same name as the IDE auto-complete integration, and the GitHub agentic worker, and the GitHub chat, and the GitHub reviewer.

Really? Almost every example imports something from Go, and it states "interoperability with the Go ecosystem" (or similar, from memory).

That isn’t the same thing. Indeed, upon reading further, it appears there is no way to import non-stdlib go modules.

Support for Go third-party packages is not part of this first release, but the tooling to generate bindings for Go packages (which enables imports from the Go stdlib) is already in place[1]. Extending it to support third-party packages is on the roadmap.

Especially with only 1mo commitment, what happens if there's a lot of churn after the first month – more people leave a cohort than are waiting for one? The whole cohort is then waiting for it to fill again before it restarts? And will people waiting for the next cohort to fill automatically be reassigned to the last (now not full) one anyway, or would there then be multiple partially filled cohorts for a single spec?

I like the idea, I just wouldn't want my subscription to suddenly be on hold because a peer decided to stop theirs.

Isn't ISO last the same as setting it as low as possible? Obviously it's always set to something, so I thought 'doing it last' means start with it low, set exposure & shutter, increase as necessary?

(Shutter speed being dictated by subject and availability of tripod, essentially it's just exposure & ISO which becomes about how much light there is and how it's distributed, I suppose.)

I'm not really into photography though, so perhaps that's all nonsense/misunderstanding.

This is GitHub being overzealous/getting it wrong, or some miscommunication somewhere. These are forks of Anthropic's open source repo on GitHub, CEO said previously it's not them DMCAing forks of it.
