Serious question.

Can you get this money if you instead choose a much better option, like riding the bike or going with public transport?

Or is this only for people who choose cars?

Great, now how about countries where solar is a non-starter?

I disagree hard. I am a tinkerer wannabe entrepreneur and I'm having the time of my life.

I just one shot a plugin for my wife's sketchup(the ability to easily export 2D from sketchup) in Ruby. I don't even know what Ruby looks like.

Simultaneously, I am fine tuning my mail setup(FreeBSD/postfix/dovecot/OpenDKIM/etc) using ChatGPT and Claude.

I set it up long before these AI things was a thing... But I am loving that I can take my rickety server held together by duct tape(though I had done things "right") STRONG, simply because it frees me from tedious, tedious shell scripting. I can focus my energy on that fun shit, not trying to remember the shell dialect I am currently employing...

Why wouldn't it be so "benign"? Unlike the USA, China seems to have pretty sane leadership in general.

"knowing how to search" became useless when Google almost exclusively started returning SEO garbage. There was no longer any way to know how to search.

BYD were early adopters of the electric vehicle(they already dominated electric buses, having plants in the USA and Europe 10 years ago).

The rest of the car industry was sleeping on electric, while BYD made it their sole focus. That s why they're now eating everyones lunch.

What happened? Link?

Have you been to "the EU"? It's a very diverse place and hardly "shit".

Theres a big difference.

We have social conventions regulating this.

Suddenly, mega corporations were allowed to digest(sometimes by illegally pirating “data”, and sometimes by achieving their training corpus and subsequently destroying the copies) and digest this information in a novel way, without any discussion or law making.

You may argue it’s beneficial (it very well could be, I use ChatGPT and Claude all the time), but let’s not pretend it’s the same as learning from your history teacher…

Diesel electric are not at all the same as an electric train network. Electric trains have a very interesting property, as they work as a grid as both producers, feeding back when they are breaking.

You made a second point, that most trains are already "diesel electric", I am pointing out, that the function is very different from an electric train, and much less friendly(and less efficient) to the environment.

Diesel... electric. Now remove the word diesel.

It reduces the carbon footprint considerably if you don't have to fill up your trains with carbon.

I use ZFS and do off site backups using rsync.net.

Not true, this very site has no ads.

The "plans" were never used though. This whole affair is conducted by imbeciles.

Why wouldn't it be feasible for Apple, with an unlimited war chest, to go after Asahi? I am not saying they will, but it is certainly possible for them.

So why do it then? Just to sabotage their own country? That makes no sense.

It makes more sense that this is a continent wide action taken by Russia, considering the similar event in France just a few days ago.

there is no "becoming", it has been a fact for long time, and expect it to get a lot worse.

This may sound stupid to a predominantly GNU/Linux audience, but as a FreeBSD user(and Linux user!), when a daemon is not available for FreeBSD, it's a very bad sign.

"Because Snikket is designed natively as a tightly integrated suite of Docker containers built around the Prosody XMPP server, running it natively on FreeBSD is complex."

Holy shit

You don't have to do it all the time as your primary interface. My wife asks Siri questions all the time while she's busy. "Siri, what's the time?", "Siri what will the temperature be in four hours?" etc. It's not "terrible", it's pretty smart.

No, that is not "common knowledge". You are supposed to be able to disable that unwanted feature.

We've been making PID loops for a lot longer.

It was not a mistake, it was done deliberately.

According to?

I play AoE2 and it’s still growing.

Who is this “everyone”? Speak for yourself.

I’m like you, but I never “loved writing code” 95% of it is stringing libraries/APIs together. Same old CRUD.

However, I always loved making software. LLMs are a godsend. I just wish I could run it on my own

Calling AI "hype" is like calling the internet hype.

Swedens main issue is a political class disconnected from reality.

You didn’t need “hindsight”. It was painfully stupid at the time.

That the problem is “this guy” is a misunderstanding.

They can also greatly assist you.

I am working on two applications using ChatGPT and Claude. I have no illusions these people won't steal/copy whatever you want to call it, "train their models". Yes, I keep unticking the boxes that allow it, that they so kindly tick for me.

But what happened to these math researchers is something else and I am not sure it's about the money for them. You don't do math research to get rich, but to get acknowledged by your peers. Yes, we live in a capitalist world so obviously you need money to feed yourself. but for some people, that is secondary.

OpenAI stole their thunder, and that's just fucked up. It's not equivalent to cranking out a CRUD app for profit.
