The UN is not a body that would be involved in banning models from a specific country, and even if they were China is one of 5 members with permanent veto power.

Being "a profit obsessed psycho" might help some people rise to positions of power, but I think the stronger point is that a corporation is an emergent superorganism with its own identity above the individual human level, without

All this attitude does is tear down the only viable income source for independent publishers and demonizes them for trying to make money, while everyone let's huge corporations off the hook for it because "well that's just wh

Alternative hypothesis.. Its not a hive mind and different factions vocalize their different opinions at different times in different places.

That always felt like a deus ex machina answer to me too. We don't know exactly how abiogenesis happened on earth so some people just like to cut off the chain of causation with the idea of, "it was seeded"... but then how di

The leaked advertising pitch videos from them where they say "we own the glass" as a pitch to potential advertising partners, about a tv they sold me just viscerally pissed me off so I'm kind of just done with them even if th

I honestly think the founder of a project can do whatever they want and they don't have any obligation to anyone except maybe their co-founders and early major contributors (and in his case as a CEO his employees and investors). If its

The Spanish were colonizing the land that is now the United States for 100 years before the English even got here and the french were colonizing it for 100 years before the Louisiana purchase. The catholic church/Jesuits also ran a lot

What is your relationship to this team? Their manager? A senior colleague? Something about this sounds like a failure of communication or leadership. Why are you stand offish from them? Why are you treating them like children? If they don&#

I just think its a meaningless dismissive term. It literally does predict the next token. But it ignores that it coherently predicts long continuous sequences of those tokens, that tokens can be anything, and you can do almost literally any

This is what I mourn the most too. The collaborative teaching and mentoring relationships. Not just for front end. Covid and now AI has just obliterated the software meetup and teaching space.

You can write a good story about anything. Slice of life stories are great. A peaceful zen character can be a main character. A hard working craftman could be a main character. A man or woman taking care of their sick partner or child and b

That does not really make sense. Millions of euros is also millions of dollars. It's not an exact number, why would they have a currency conversion.

A great philosophy for anyone who is pretending to know what they're doing that will still result in the plane crashing because you need to know how to fly a plane to fly a plane, and you need to know how to run a business to run a bus

This is a very narrow viewpoint, considering the majority of computing is done on touch screens now. Sometimes keyboard controls are critical, sometimes they're not, sometimes your users don't care, sometimes they do. Sometimes a

You can still write a simple OS on a modern computer, a lot of times its done using a virtual machine though to make iteration faster. It's not like rewriting linux or something, its just standing up the basics of machine abstraction.

That's not weird? We did that in my OS class. Also even if you didn't the point still holds that the output was defacto validation of understanding.

Me not being able to buy memory or gpus is enough for me to be pissed off about it. Reversal of Personal Computing back towards centralized computing is bad and I am not happy about it. I also am not happy about the privacy and surveillance
