Maybe a bit naive to think that a CCP-backed company is doing something for democracy. Maybe, just maybe... I dunno...

Yeah, that's why I hope, but don't expect it...

Fine-tuning is quite accessible for the average small business or hacker, though.

It's sad to see Apple adopting kind of an Oracle way of business. "Kind of"... They were screwed by Microsoft in the past. And now they're the ones screwing every single small and mid-sized software shop everywhere. When

"That's the problem with speculation (...)", which is: it's used to discredit the most plausible explanations.

How would a nation state "thrive" on assassinating this person? May I ask if you live in the U.S.? I have the impression that a lot of people there think that other nations revolve around destroying the U.S.

> there's an infinite number of alternate explanations I see only one reasonably acceptable alternate explanation. He either committed suicide or was suicided by someone at Boeing terrified about what would happen to them in jail.

Thanks a lot! I hope Boeing goes bankrupt and a more careful competitor buys out their assets.

Is there a flight search service that allows filtering out Boeing planes?

Quite ironic for calling illegal to do what the entire business is founded upon. And if it's a paid account (not multiple bot-created free accounts), they should have some rate limiting in place. That smeels like bad API architecture.

It's not such a big pain in every language. And certainly not as hard to get working with acceptable performance in many languages. Even if you have zero shared resources, zero mutexes, no communication whatsoever between threads, it&#

The whole purpose of threads is to improve overall speed of execution. Unless you're working with a very small number of threads (single digits), that's a very hard to achieve goal in Python. I wouldn't count this as easy to

Probably a very small minority of Python codebases run on Windows, no? That's my impression. It would explain why so many people are unaware of multiprocessing issues on Windows. I've never ran any serious Python code on windows..

Some speculate that universities adopted it as introductory language for its expressiveness and flat learning curve. Scientific / research projects in those unis started picking Python, since all students already knew it. And now we&#x

Although true, it doesn't mean they can't improve its performance. Working with threads is a pain in Python. If you want to spawn +10-20 threads in a process, it can quickly become way slower than running a single thread. Removing

I understand the psychological need, but I agree this is going to bite them at some point. A "community" is the weakest link in their chain, it seems. Even if you get your OpSec 100% tight (very, very hard, if not impractical), th

And now US LNG exports to Germany are booming: ~30x (!!!) from 2022 to 2023 [1]. Seems like there wasn't a better other option anyway, was there? Before invading Ukraine, Putin was arguably banking on the fact that he had Europe on his

Not vouching for him, but Trump did alert the Germans about the risk of over relying on Russian energy [1]. He wanted Europe to become independent of Putin years before this crisis. He did not say these things in the most appropriate way, l

Well, if AI is the product, Apple is OpenLuxuryHardware, and Oracle is OpenScrewYou.
