Meanwhile, half the site is currently down.

So that's two things we shouldn't be releasing into the world.

I learned from working with some that psychopaths are a lot of fun going for a drink after work, but at work they make your life a misery.

It saved you from reading the article which is a load of adolescent drivel.

I'm not saying that registering a trademark will cure all problems, but it's a relatively cheap and easy first step. The second step is collective action through the cartoonists' union (https://cartoonist.coop/ is one such).

A quick Google search shows there are at least two cartoonists' unions in the US, so they could collectively enforce trademarks. My main point though is that it's relatively simple and inexpensive to register a trademark (costing a few hundred dollars), and cartoonists should do that straight away, because having a registered trademark is better than not having one.

A practical step is cartoonists should register their name/signature as a trademark. Arguably they should have been doing this before AI came along, but definitely they should do it now. Registration makes enforcement easier.

And write stuff. On paper with a pencil or pen.

Every memory management scheme makes trade-offs (even manual ones), and golang's is no different. It seems to work well in many scenarios.

Why's it hard to believe? AI tools can generate enormous quantities of slop if you have the money to spend.

The real test is if any of it is any good or not.

Only in very bad implementations of GC.

Aren't Huawei on the Entity List? How can Qualcomm enter into agreements like this without getting into massive hot water?

Putting data centers in space is such obvious nonsense that you don't need to give it serious consideration.

I self-host email, and it's mostly working. However the problems others have outlined are real: The stack is complicated, even for an expert to set up and keep running. And deliverability can sometimes be a problem, especially to Google who are obviously plotting to monopolise email.

It's more like the lumberjack is lending money to the farmer so the farmer can buy his wood. (NVIDIA doesn't consume tokens). If the tokens (eggs) suddenly become much unprofitable then the AI labs aren't going to need as many GPUs (lumber for hen houses) and the borrowed money won't be paid back. Or perhaps more accurately, has even less chance of being paid back than it does now, which is not a high chance.

The numbers are staggering eg: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/17/nvidia-financing-open-ai-dat...

Sure, but if the companies start competing on price they become commodities and their valuations collapse, leading to knock-on effects everywhere (eg all the circular financing also collapses). I'm not saying this is a bad thing.

I assume half the layers must be ground planes, but even so yes.

Being a political party and not a state, Hamas cannot enter into treaties, no more than the local chess club can enter into a treaty. Depending on the political processes of Palestine (of which I have no idea) it might be able to withdraw The State of Palestine from the Rome Statute, but it hasn't done that so far.

The State of Palestine is. Hamas is more like a political party, so your question is like asking if the Conservative Party is a member of the ICC, it makes no sense.

Speak for yourself, I love this story because I'm proudly anti-Oracle. Can't wait for the Ellisons to lose their shirts.

That's fine, it's democracy in action. I don't know why particularly you'd be worried about ICC rulings since they apply to very grave crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the "crime of aggression" (using large scale military forces to invade other countries). Hope you've not been doing any of those!

Depending on where you live, your country may or may not have decided to give legal force to ICC rulings by joining the Rome Statute treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Statute). If you live in a democracy, this was decided by democratic means, and can be changed the same way. This is not a unique situation, there will be many, many other treaties that your country has decided to sign up to.

I dunno .. they're doing a marvelous job encouraging EV adoption.

9.0 was unfortunately incompatible with a lot of software. Certainly in Fedora we did the work (about a year ago) and have been shipping it for a long time.

"Market value" so that's after they IPO then? Because before the IPO, and even for a while after, they're simply making up numbers.

This is absolutely true. On the other hand, if there's Vim, Neovim, emacs, MS Word, Google Docs etc and some treat me with respect and others do not, that might affect my choice of which software to use.

Even more basic stuff like scrollbars that work sensibly, and not trying to second-guess what I type into a cell.

They have large electric cars / SUVs, but not small EVs.

I was going to say "about time", but actually about 3 years too late.

I can't judge if you are correct or not. It would be more convincing if you could name some of the problems. Since the article is "garbage", there should be lots of things wrong to choose from.
