Lomlioto··on Grok 4.5
Again you are throwing around whataboutism. Im not protecting anyones shitty behavour it doesn't matter to me if its rep or dem.

I for myself, i think paying taxes is critical. I believe i was quite lucky with my upbringing. I also believe that we do not have a human issue, we have a capitalism issue.

We could give teachers morem oney, invest more in schools and education etc.

But this has nothing to do with Elon Musk.

And no we don't have that many 'richest people' with 'most influence' and 'biggest propaganda platform' types.

Jeff Bezos (washington post) is one of them, Murdoch family (Fox), Zuckerberg (Facebook), Ellisons (mtv etc.)

We can discuss if the richest country in the world, polluting the planet the most, should invest a little bit of money into global aid.

But discontinuing something like this without a ramp-down phase is just sick.

I also don't get your rant about Biden/Harris etc. i talke about what Elon Musk does and did.

Btw. He did 2 nazi salutes, nazis put humans into chambers and killed them on mass.

Lomlioto··on Meta reuses old RAM in new servers with custom bridge chip
A GPU Transistor is a lot more complicated than a RAM transistor and the size of these are quite different too. Bleeding edge vs. a known process with know machines and written off machines.

Also you calculate in the machine cost and R&D.

RAM hiked because the demand spiked and these companies are now in power. Before apple and other companies told them the prices and had hardly any money for investment.

Thats a very weak argument I would say.

The internet is a technology, Tesla is the car company which makes Elon Musk rich. Elon Musk is the richest person on the whole planet who has no character / integrity.

if elon Musk decides to do something, he does it until someone else says no.

Grok and Child pornography? No issue. EU says no, now Musk does something against it.

elon Musk has no motivation at all to be critical about what he does, we as a society apparently have to play the bad cop.

It might make you less moral.

Elon Musk is not someone. He is the CEO of Tesla and owning Tesla made it possible for him to buy Twitter.

He is literaly the richest person on the planet and changes opinions by controlling Twitter as a platform (1984 anyone?)

He has more reach and more money than anyone else.

His character clearly shows that you can't trust him. It doesn't even matter if he sometimes does something good, he doesn't care. Being responsible for cutting USAID without any plan? This killed real humans and kids.

The richest person on the planet is responsible for this.

This becomes a real issue for everything dangerous he does because he just pushes stuff, doesn't matter if it has long term consequences. Polluting our atmosphere with Starlink satelites? Who cares eh? He doesn't.

Instead him thinking about making our planet better, he thinks its fundamental that we become a multi-planet species. We are in 2026 not in 2100. We haven't even solved basic income, food stability etc.

Tesla is not a random company.

Its more depressing to see that we have such a low morality, that it apperenly doesn't matter what you do as long as you make great tech?

My philosophy is, that the better i have it, the more responsibliltiy I can/have to carry.

People in tech are above avg successful and we have a thinking job.

I would imagine that our world would be better if more people would care if they see a Tesla and feel a little bit bad. Yes.

But there is also a huge difference between having the option between 5 different very good models and just excluding one vs. being forced to use something because there is no alternative.

I'm a hardcore nerd. I'm so hardcore, i consider not just the tech itself but the environment of the tech.

Lomlioto··on Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests
I hope you are not true at all.

Software like a Database should have an extensive test bench with concurrency tests, all corner cases etc.

I'm not here running the new version on production to tell the maintainer/devs that my 'production unit tests failed'.

What is this even for logic?

I mean there is balance when i write tests for my production software, but my software is used by me. If i would have a library, i would test everything.

And there was some blog post about another database system were they even virtualized the File access to test cases like when the disk controller stops working.
