> Way longer than that. The first KH-11 satellites that Hubble shares its design with were in orbit in the late 1970s.

That's all fascinating stuff! What are some books that cover the start of the pursuit of those advanced machines? Can I say warfare machinery? Was it the end of WWII and a race to self-protect, was it the start of cold war, establishment of NATO, or a particular administration?

> They simply couldn't care less anymore about telling better lies than their predecessors.

4 years ago, people didn't fill their pockets on the current scale, and they also didn't pitch their own businesses under the cover of national interests.

I'm a small fish.

Some people here have 640 GB of RAM https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49621754

> One reason might be the share price has collapsed and he has no confidence in it coming back

Not sure how you made that assessment!

52 Week Range: 215.68 - 473.10

Yesterday, it closed at 410.44. Clearly, very far away from collapse. In fact, it made a solid comeback (almost doubled from lows).

Thanks! I have two mac minis: one with 8 gb and the other with 24 gb (left with 17 gb useable ram); I can't run any open model on them. So, ordered a Mac 5 pro with 128 GB. Can't wait for its arrival.

> I use local LLMs on my Mac Mini.

which ones do you use?

> Mandated and forced on everyone.

Nope. It's a marketplace. Your above argument is perfectly applicable to it as well.

Imagine wearing Zuckoff merchandise to a Meta onsite interview or at their Connect conf :-)

He came to know that after 2 years of going neck deep into AI? and didn’t listen to anyone else, while we engineers knew it all along.

He also infected that omarchy OS guy. Hopefully he sees the cure on the wall :-)

> The second he took control, we got the cybertruck and the starship, the worse products both companies ever built

And, DOGE!!

If Congress can get its act together, it can clearly tell this lunatic to fall in line and start performing according to his Job description, otherwise boot him out. But there's no chance they are going to do it.

They politicized fallen heroes from the Afghanisation withdrawal for their campaign time during RNC 2024. Current events clearly show they don't give a F about anything but themselves.

> how the hell am I going to rein (not reign) in the military industrial complex?

Make sure to vote in this November! Encourage your friends and family to do so as well. Start a YouTube channel; get yourself heard. Reach out to DNC, obviously red party is not an option, tell them you want to help with outreach.

> There are over 30 US military bases in EU member states

As of today, with current affairs and the unpredictable element in chief, you may never know how long.

Plan cancelled!!

Oracle is already trading around their all time low, so not much of AI boom for him

Alternate reality then?

Hopefully it will come down to that price point or cheaper again in the next 3-4 years?

the landing page showed "$3,299.00" and I had my candy store moment for a few secs.

The NTSB confirmed that while the pilot applied the physical wheel brakes, the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) showed zero evidence that the speed brakes/spoilers ever extended. They also overshot the runway; I think those were the key mistakes that caused the accident.

You can practice across ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude; once you hit the limits on one model, move to the next. Don't need to buy a subscription to Neet/Leet if you don't want to.

You currently can't run a 2.8T locally; there's just no way. So, it's a good start.

> Apple is probably also waiting

they could seriously do something about it instead of waiting.

iPhone was used as an analogy and was not intended to draw direct parallels.

A new approach required new thinking about everything involved, including takeoff and landing. They didn't do that; that's why they ended up with the compromise of a hybrid. It was a sign, and they ignored it and went ahead. Imagine a design that requires - no traditional landing and takeoff, including no ATC; some electric planes are already built around that, but sadly not this one.

In multi-party systems, the parties focus more on weakening their opponents and horse trading, as voters are divided and winning elections is dependent on an already razor-thin voting share. Look what's going on in India, for instance.

They are all in this with one and only one purpose - to enrich themselves and weaken America.

Hybrid! That's what happens when you build new devices around old infra. Steve Jobs didn't design the iPhone around Carriers; it was the other way around.

It is kinda obvious, but maybe that's why it's not stated anywhere: each browser session will result in a download of 500 MB to ~1 GB, depending on your model selection. So, it's better to add a disclaimer if you end up using WebLLM in a customer-facing site.

> At what point would they still be considered the old company's property?

It depends on your contracts (aka NDAs). Sometimes employers do ban for that very same reason from joining a competitor(s) for x years from date of separation

But, he failed to sell us their electric car, which honestly looked great.

Lol! He's gordon ramsay of tech, who's frequently contradictory himself. On Round 2 with lex, he said something like no one lost recently due to using digital Maps. Well, check this one - https://youtu.be/z5ElIor-oXk?si=XfcS1UtC2OWReVXr

He's bashing and insulting all engineers and then asking for their contributions and complaining that not many people are committing code in open source repos.
