Similar story here, but I must have been slightly behind cuz I had a 7200.

Was so stoked when MkLinux came out but quickly took sides in the micro-mono-kernel wars when ppclinux came out, must have been '95 or '96. I was probably the first person to boot the monokernel on a 7200, (iirc Mackerras had a 9k series), thus unlocking the challenge of reverse engineering the video hardware, and an early career in embedded sw.

This was the era when there were mac clones, somehow I or someone involved (Jeff Carr probably) got one and I got it housed in the wisconsin cs labs, doleing out accounts to random people who wanted to build packages on PPC. One of whom was Mark Abene. Truly different times, when a notorious hacker would call you up on the phone and ask for an account on your machine and "sure dude just don't break anything".

In the spirit of historical dives, Wisc still keeps my old fanpage up - the final comment there that it hasn't been updated since '98 is accurate!

But training was ruled fair use, just the way they got the copies was illegal.

Like distillation?

Support for this claim?

May I gently suggest isolating production write credentials from the development environment?

If and only if?

The dispute here is balancing people's human right to wank anonymously against the right of parents (and society's?) to limit access to (absurdly) age inappropriate material.

What does "ready for" even mean, when is anyone ready for 4k German BDSM.

There's also this slippery slope argument that preserving the former right is absolutely necessary to prevent creeping fascism. Which is absurd. Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the wankers to create some palatable solution to the conflict of interests, rather than demand the parents figure out how such wankers can preserve their anonymity?

Parenting is necessary for continuation and health of society. 4k German stuff is not.

Terrified? Maybe they just calmly rationally don't want them to have access to the best German BDSM content in 4K at an early age?

Don't the parents have a legitimate interest here though? Just being tired does not make them irrational or credulous as seems to be implied here.

A cynic might wonder if this is just another way for a corporation selling advertising to get more of the "your data". Who is sharing more? :)

And here we all are enjoyably sharing with humans our interest and experiences in using LLMs!

No shoes, no shirt, no service.

Epic wanted their own store and they got their own store. It cost them and Apple a bunch of money, which indirectly is not good for anyone's customers... my sense of justice is not perplexed as to why they are not allowed back in.

Would you want to do business with someone who just sued you after breaking their previous contract with you?

Out of curiosity, why "bastard"? ...if you're being terminated, isn't the best possible outcome that you get your salary but don't have to go to work?

At 99.38+ uptime - seems like the reds in the xmas tree are OR'd into the bars rather averaged in, making them look worse than they actually are, which is refreshingly honest to see in an uptime monitor.

I tried gemini 2.5 just once for coding and it immediately spit out hilariously invalid python, not even clearing the lowest of bars.

What (language/topic) are you coding in that gemini (or even chatgpt) is better than claude? Very surprised to hear this.

b- was probably hinting that the confidence of your conviction may be unsupportable?

> point was to spend their 2% GDP on American armaments

Do the NATO agreements specify American armaments? Europe could have spent on European armaments and armies too, just chose not too because they didn't see a reason to.

Europe not buying F35 or whatever hurts US arms industry, but probably not the general strategic position of the US. There's even a credible argument (dont know how credible?) that these arms programs actually undermine security by investing crazy money in outdated / ineffective technology. The dumb part would be not learning from the Ukrainians how to fight a modern war.

US participation in NATO may be made redundant, but Europe's need for a credible collective defense agreement is not going away.

Counterpoint: It's actually very astute of them to start like this.

In order to have a viable business model they need to create value for users. Users are intelligent and will not even consider trying something that has no exit path, should the company disappear.

What every company hopes to have is customers who are thrilled with the value they deliver and tell everyone what a great deal it is so the company can grow.

What no company hopes for is to end up like hashicorp, where they end up spending more investment $ than the value they provide, never achieve profitability, and eventually just piss everyone off, and everyone is trying to make the best of a leveraged situation, they end up having to pull the rug. The user's leverage in that situation is something like opentofu, made possible by the license, same as what's being offered here.

The price of the big columnar dbs is very high, so there's a lot of ground to capture / value to arbitrage/offer in this space - as evidenced by other comments in this thread, how fast the benchmarks are changing, the likelihood of memory prices coming down, etc.

Aside from that, you have to wonder big picture if the AI space will put significant downward pressure on memory and compute prices with everyone wanting to run local LLMs, might change some fundamental tradeoffs made in db systems. If in 10 years I can get a phone with a 1 TB of fast access RAM to ask siri how to sauté mushrooms, what will 99% of us need columnar store for?

They're saying that self-made billionaires didn't inherit their wealth. Which means they created it. Which means that it created useful economic activity. And since rich people dont optimally pass on their wealth, those 1000 billionaires' spawn are likely to piss away that wealth while 1000 more economically active individuals create more healthy economic activity in pursuit of becoming billionaires so that they can pass on their wealth to their children to piss away, ad. Inf.

Who is glama.ai though? Could not find company info on the site, the Frank name writing the blog posts seems to be an alias for Popeye the sailor. Am I missing something there? How can a user vet the company?

Results matter, it's not hard to imagine that Apple considers the real risk of its promise and market position of being the privacy option being undermined by their supply chain risks, and leverage being used against them by privacy unfriendly actors.

You may have meant that sarcastically, but i just did that for 2 csv files that i needed to do a bunch of cleanups and joins to analyze. With llm help the whole adventure was easy.

How quaint, California. In Minnesota we call those potholes, and they rarely command a segment on the nightly news.

> lead in legislation

> legislation is kind of the point of a government

As an American, most of this post reads like doublespeak satire. I guess it's not, but just to put a transatlantic pov here.

I'll add a sports metaphor for good measure: in order to become expert football players, we'll get tickets to watch the best teams play.

Huh, that's an interesting observation- is there good signal on older accounts not being sources of astroturf? Anecdotally/datally I've dug randomly into a few suspicious comments elsewhere and though the account is old really looks sketch, like an article submission every other day for years on end but almost no comments, other odd patterns.

What services are you talking about?

9.3 db intensity is not even 3x iiuc.

The carrier "retreating" is also consistent with a lot of other scenarios, including just having fucked up majorly and needing a safe place to spend some quality time yelling at people.

AMD. Just one more dot to connect ;)

But maybe it's something more like general symbolic manipulation, and not specifically the sounds or structure of language. Reading is fairly new and unlikely to have had much if any evolutionary pressure in many populations who are now quite literate. Same seems true for music. Maybe the hardware is actually more general and adaptable and not just for language?

Yes

(insert name of any corporation ... listed on any stock market) just really doesn't care about you, and as a developer, you're just a sucker to extract money from.
