PDF material comes with different information density. If you have a lose collection of 100 manuals, and you need to find a snippet of information that could be in 10 different ones, I'm guessing something like this can help you navigate and locate what you need.
Look at some of the games that made Unity popular in the first place, and the people/companies that made them. Lots of them are moving to Godot now, but again, it'll take time before those people/companies launch the games.
Because they made, maintain and offer GPT-4 which is currently the top-of-the-line LLM available. GPT-3 was also top-of-the-line when it launched, and they've proven they can iterate on the model and launch better ones.
Currently, both open and non-models are just about barely competitive with GPT-3.5, but none is close to GPT-4.
Even if they aren't profitable today, it's hard to imagine they won't be able to monetize things better, since their model is way ahead of any other model.
That is, they manage to get that far before the company collapses from the inside, which seems more and more likely everyday.
Edit: I'm guessing this is the model referenced: "Mistral "Mixtral" 8x7B 32k model [magnet]" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38570537
Funny, considering people said the same thing about OpenAI and look who is eating FAANGs lunch now when it comes to AI?
> "By creating mistral.ai, we intend to train state-of-the-art models with counter-positions to closed-model current offerings. Our vision is to become a leading actor in the field, while developing a very valuable business around integrating these models in the European industry and beyond."
Is this just a rhetorical question from your side? Because the last sentence gives you the answer. They do open models + focusing on integrating those open models into European industry. Seems pretty easy to grasp.
Makes sense. Blender is coming up to being 30 years old soon, and it still isn't heavily embedded into the mainstream pipelines, but it's getting closer every day.
By contrast, Godot is about 10 years old, but still has eaten some of Unity's pie. Cannot wait to see how Godot is in about 20 years, surely they will have surpassed Unity at that point :)
As I said, I'd be very happy about it being classified as a tractor because then it won't come close to any pedestrian-heavy areas like cities, which this machine seems to purposefully be as hostile to as possible.
That be great, tractors are banned to be used within cities and on highways (in many places).
How much experience do you have with Swedish unions specifically? And with Swedish industry in general?
Judging by your comments, your experience seems to come from reading US news, is that close to the truth?
For example, the percentage of your salary for membership is not a static one, it varies. And even so, it has a max amount (around 60USD last time I checked). Did you account for that when doing your calculations?
Unions don't do solidarity strikes across the entire Nordics without having the support of the people they're trying to help.
> It is people working elsewhere -- or rather, the management of the labour unions that organize those other people.
The people you call "the management of the labour unions" are workers just like the rest. Again, they are not "career-unionists", they are workers who care about worker rights, just like all the other people at the other unions joining the strike.
The "heritage" between the three is also different. Klarna and Spotify are/was Swedish, they know what going up against a union means, and it often involves going against multiple unions as they all help each other.
Tesla clearly have no idea what they were going against, as what is happening now is such an obvious fallout from not understanding the country they're operating in.
Expecting to run a company against the norms in a culture that so heavily leans on norms is bound to create conflict, which is what we're seeing here.
> The IF Metall union is striking because they just want to get their cut.
What sort of people do you think IF Metall is made up of? It's the second largest union in Sweden, the people who are a part of the union are also workers at Tesla and other companies. It's not made up of "career-unionists" if that's what you thought.
Yup, squashing worker rights for corporations everywhere sounds like a good way of spending $26B.
> Edit:- If my comment is not as per HN guidelines, I am willing to delete it.
Why don't you try to read the guidelines before posting, if you think you might be breaking some guideline?
But no, you're getting downvoted not because of breaking the rules, but because of the horrible opinion and lack of care of the common worker.
So most likely, if most of the employees moved over to Microsoft, they wouldn't get the same comp, at most 44% of the company would.
And you're measuring "success" of a economic model just based on how it increases GDP? What about lowly things like "life expectancy" or other things related to, you know, actual human lives?
I knew USAians were "corporate and financials"-horny but this takes it to a whole other level.
But at least I've found that the overly negative comments on HN has at least a tiny bit of feedback one could learn from, compared to other platforms where it's just outright vile comments with zero feedback one could use.
So yeah, HN can be ruthless, but so is the rest of the internet. At least here there is a tiny bit of feedback mixed in, and usually the rest of the comments have something insightful to say.
You can use Clojure stuff from Java, if you really want to: https://clojure.org/reference/java_interop#_calling_clojure_...
> but a dynamically typed functional programming language is kind of too much of design flaw for me
And for others it's the opposite. Unless the language have good primitives for distributed computing and is a functional and dynamic language, it's usually not worth spending the time to learn it, for me at least.
Good thing there is at least one language out there for everyone, so we have choices :)
Then I remember that everyone's brain works differently, and that's ok :)
