Fantastic build. Do you know by any chance a source for Q-Bus edge sockets?

I don't think it ever was a feature on HN. Although I've seen that on Lobsters and some other forums.

That was not a part of the cables released by Manning.

I was definitely around in 2013. And it was quite clear at the time there will be government persecution for the leaks, I mean that's why he ran in the first place. If you stand on the path of martyrdom for your people you should be pr

Gave up his life? Why, he may have been living his best. A fully funded expat life in Moscow with some Jason Bourne cachet instead of scrapping by as a Sharepoint admin in the age of AI.

Noone in position of power was threatened by the contents of Snowden's leaks.

Fields medalists aren't made on some Fields factory. These are 25 people from different backgrounds, generations, educational institutions and countries. It's kind of incredible you guys think they decided to collude against OpenA

From your other replies it's clear you still haven't read the letter. There is little to discuss so far.

I can only envy the insight you have into thought processes of 25 fields medalists. Wish I could have that.

Sure we are free to tinker, like the guys doing model railways. With about the same impact.

Nobody is going to recognize anything if the institutions of mathematics are torn down.

I mean sure? It's clear PLT and other applied CS fields are now as good as dead. You're never seeing new React or Python emerging ever again. And unfortunately mathematics is much more fundamental to human endeavor than this.

I think they don't fly survival guns on Soyuz anymore. But cosmonauts on ISS do keep a shank or two onboard for sure.

Shapr3d is a rather light duty stuff, it's really doubtful a company with unlimited R&D budget and megascale manufacturing would use it very much.

Rather because the population density is much higher. So there's less need and more inconvenience to longer commutes.

Europeans don't drive half as much as Americans.

Yup, the arrogance when barging into unfamiliar domain that was previously reserved mainly to physics grads seems to have spread everywhere. I also had people opining on my expert area via their LLMs and the problem is they can't even

I mean you kinda can do that now.

If the method is indeed found in the training set it's not particularly important to de-anonymize it. You have the proof you need.

The imperialism Europe suffers from in reality is not American and he's entirely on board with that.
