> You don't get to decree what young women interest, neither me nor anyone else than themselves.

Is that not exactly what pro-choice means.

For GPT-5 you always had to select the thinking mode when interacting through API. When you interact through ChatGPT, gpt-5 would dynamically decide how long to think.

That is such a naive view. IT/outsourcing makes up less than 8% of the GDP. Compared to that, industrial sector make up almost 30% and agriculture 20%. Just because IT services catch the news cycle does not mean that is the only thing India does.

I guess AI is not just LLM. Image processing, speech to text etc would fall under the use case. Regarding GenAI, Pixel phones already run nano model on the phone with decent performance and utility.

Just because consultants are from India does not make them incompetent. Not to mention the attack vector was social engineering, which can happen to any person of any nationality. 70% of India's GDP is domestic consumption. 7% of the GDP is service export, of which only 3.5% is software services. While significant, it certainly is not "propping" up India's GDP.

The richest country in the world cannot save their own citizens from poverty. Not to mention most number of millionaires and billionaires. Obviously the solution is to impose tariffs based on some made up numbers. Wonderful idea!

theuppermiddle | 11 months ago | on: US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU

This is exactly what I was thinking. Is not the US export far higher than import if they take into account the software and other IT services they sell? I would expect other countires to tarrif that.

theuppermiddle | 11 months ago | on: US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU

Is not the US export higher if they take into account all the Software and software as service they sell?

theuppermiddle | 1 year ago | on: New tools for building agents

Does the SDK allow executing Python code generated in some sort of sandbox? If not are there any open source library which does this for us? I would ideally like the state of the code executed, including return values, available for the entire chat session, like IPython, so that subsequent LLM generated code can use them.

> Profits from tech companies seem to be accruing to the elites.

Is this not the problem that needs to be addressed. Looks like the rich and media have successfully made a scapegoat out of immigrants when the actual problem is the money accuring to the elites and government inefficieny in improving housing supply.
