Oh, no, not that Europe. You were of course talking about the Europe with Spain (oh wait, La Liga has a cloudflare kill switch). You were of course talking about the Europe with Italy (oh wait, the Piracy Shield). You were of course talking about the Europe with Turkyie (oh wait, ...
I shouldn't need to - if it doesn't foundationally offend you that Spain has endorsed a private entity with the ability to routinely turn off part of the Internet for their own private convenience then fundamentally we have a different view about how this whole thing should work.
but now the definition of europe becomes europe but not UK, since it's convenient to maintain the argument rather than discuss the real underlying issue!
Also, vibe coding has really become a skill in itself. Does it allow the average non-programmer to go to production easily (and likely have bugs/flaws)? Yes. But as someone who used to be a programmer and just fell out of skill with all of it, I've found that what I do still have is a keen sniff test for good vs bad, and can guide the direction and architecture with proper planning.
Couldn't this be true in the other direction as well? Anecdotally I see developers putting a lot more scrutiny into vibe coded PRs, while AI code tends to be highly commented (by the AI) and potentially easier to read.
I've seen way more human comments of "I don't know what this does but if I remove it everything breaks" in systems.
I started on the Pro plan a week ago and was already contemplating jumping to Max. When I hit a limit yesterday I upgraded to Max and hit a limit again before seeing the news of the changed usage limit.
For what it's worth, everything seems fixed today.
The biggest benefit I see so far is the integration of ChatGPT into Siri to answer questions for me while I'm driving instead of giving me "I'm sorry, I can't show you that while driving"
I was looking forward to that as well, but Siri refuses to read ChatGPT's responses to me...which makes it substantially less useful. It's just as frustrating as being told "sorry, you'll have to unlock your phone if you want me to play something on youtube music". Let's hope they iterate, I guess?
I was going to second your observation: i wonder if the language models are just better than what they had been using, because Siri has become incredibly more accurate recently, in my experience.
You don't need to deal with the hassle of your own email server for this. Just buy a domain and use Fastmail, Protonmail, or any other service you trust.
Devil's advocate, if Tesla camps on eBay listings for used Teslas for sale and places bids they have no intention of following through on for the sole purpose of driving others to bid higher and keeping the brand value high, this would be seen as manipulative by the end-buyers (though at the end of the day, they did ultimately bid and agree to the price they won at)
> bids they have no intention of following through on
That is fraud.
This “group expected that, if it was the winning bidder, it would pay about $12,000 for the lease (based on its $18 per acre bid) out of its own budget.”
In that situation Tesla would find themselves ultimately compelled to perform on the bids, or pay some sort of damages. They could gum up the works with lawyers for a while but the final bill would get larger as the courts got fed up with their shenanigans.
In this situation the conservation group was fully prepared to make good on their bid.
The state is basically selling the oil in the land on consignment. The state sells the oil rights, the group who buys the oil rights sells the oil, and they send a part of the profit back to the state (there's at least taxes, and maybe fees or royalties--I don't know the financial details of the oil industry).
If someone "buys the oil rights" and doesn't sell any oil, they're cheating the state.
You're reaching. Well, you're stretching like crazy, but not actually reaching anything.
Hypothetical taxes on unrealized (and possibly zero) profits are not in any way part of the transaction, and it's just bizarre to think of them that way.
There's no guarantee of royalties over and above the lease. You just dreamed that up to support your weird asspulled idea that there's some kind of fraud here. If they wanted guaranteed royalties, they could have written that in.
Furthermore, the state even had the advantage of writing the contract. If the state wants a condition on a lease, the state is perfectly capable of putting it in there (as it is now doing).
A sophisticated party (which a state is supposed to be), with experience in the business, made a public offer. Somebody took that offer with no modification, with every intention of performing on the contract, and with absolutely no attempt at falsification or even concealment of anything at all. The idea that that's somehow "fraud" is insane. Not only is it not legally fraud, but it's not colloquially fraud, either. It's nothing like fraud.
Which is probably why nobody actually involved was crazy enough to suggest that it was fraud.
If you make a deal you discover you don't like, that doesn't make it fraud.

Source? (Not challenging you.)

I’d argue a better solution than thinning the buyer pool is setting a high minimum rebate, possibly one that only kicks in if the plot isn’t exploited.
Would also note that Wyoming’s revenue is from sales tax, mining tax and ticketing tourists. (Property tax is mostly minerals [1].)
Shifts the risk that the land is not very productive onto the bidder, which I suspect is undesirable (except to the extent it incentivizes the bidder making a sincere effort).
This will probably get a lot of hate, but for most of my questions where I'm looking for a simple answer on something, I just use ChatGPT. Gives me the answer much more hassle-free than a search engine would.
I’m the same except replace ChatGPT with Perplexity.ai which has 3 improvements:
1. Includes recent web search in context
2. Includes footnotes with sources
3. Has a much better voice recognition that improves accuracy from context of your question
Bonus: Perplexity.ai is smarter than raw chatGPT IMO, even though it sometimes uses chatGPT for input.
Example: Ask both LLMs - How many Rs in “strawberry” ChatGPT says 2 (wrong), Perplexity and Gemini say 3 (right)
They're not deciding what software we install, did you read the article? The bill would require ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) to stop sending all this user data to China where it is ultimately used by the CCP. I'd argue that this bill doesn't go far enough, and companies of a certain size should be required to home US citizen data in the US, where it's subject to our laws and regulations.
> Did you read the article? Bytedance isn't just required to stop sending all data to China, it's required to divest itself of Chinese ownership.
Which makes sense. Do you really want an entity with the demonstrated capability to coordinate mass political action (i.e. this TikTok popup) to be under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party?
