Really thought they’d grow their own potatoes.

Guess there will be a market in importing whole ones, and cutting them up there.

In his case.

Signal is person to person messaging with groups on the side (ala WhatsApp)

Matrix is groups with person to person on the side (ala Discord)

He wants to speak freely, but he doesn’t want to afford anyone else the same right.

It’s not an uncommon stance, but it’s a hypocritical one.

I’m in the industry but don’t know much about broadcom. What makes you say that?

Where’s the training data coming from?

People born in the 50s have long retired. The grey beards are not baby-boomers. They are people born in the late 60s and 70s. They are people who grew up as computing technology matured. They started coding low level and had careers building the infrastructure of computing which is what a lot of FOSS is.

However the question is not why these people have aged? It’s why hasn’t there been a steady stream of people taking their place from younger generations?

I believe it’s because the generations after them have careers working at higher levels of abstraction. Often going lower level is seen as black magic that is unknown to them.

There’s a market waiting for car without all this crap. Late 2000s level of electronics and aids please. That goes for EVs too.

I think you’re under thinking this.

The primary focus of Trump since coming to office has been securing natural resources. Greenland, Canada, Ukraine all have rich mineral deposits. Even the Panama shit is about controlling a geographic “resource”…the canal.

This rename is about making it sound like it belongs to the US. What’s there a lot of here? Oil. And it sits under international waters.

Vance stakes claim to US leadership…

I guess it can’t be any worse. He should go for it.

Oh! Twat!

Toxic positivity, the drug of the Nation

Breeding ignorance and feeding radicalisation.

Doesn’t scan quite as well as the original.

10¢ a kWh is fucking cheap in a global context. 3x that is not uncommon.

Well, only a handful of users exist.

This is more about the “reasoning” aspect of the model where it outputs a bunch of “thinking” before the actual result. In a lot of cases it easily adds 2-3x onto the number of tokens needed to be generated. This isn’t really useful output. It the model getting into a state where it can better respond.

Educating the people is fundamental to a democratic society. Every time you see education under attack, it’s people trying to pacify the electorate.

English is 3 or 4 languages melded into one.

There’s the Germanic old English which gives most of the base language. This is mixed with Norse from the viking invasions. Then aristocratic French came in around 1,000 years ago. Underneath it all, some regions have Celtic influences.

Of course there aren’t consistent rules.

A nice, simple to fit combustion engine?

Musk’s perspective: “One awkward person has removed themselves from the organisation. Oh no!”

Mine is capitalising everything because of German.

Take this example for instance:

fn doMath(x: anytype) @TypeOf(x) {
  // …
}

There is no way to know what that function requires as input.

Of course you can’t know. That function has no requirements. As such there’s only one thing it can do… return x. Anything else is making an assumption about the parameter being passed.
