They wanted to be sure our corporate overlords could grab all the code they want without having to give anything back.
Grabbing and giving back is a really funny way of looking at copying something. Pay for a copy or don't.
If the "Free" in its name means someone else can take the source-code, change it, and hide the changes from others, then it's no longer Free, is it?
Try explaining to a five year old that the balloon animal you gave them is not free if they can make modifications and not share them back with you.
That was in the past. Nowadays, rampant copyright violation is the norm in America, so the distinction is moot. (sadly)
Which past... before it became a convenient stick to bash the scary AI with, nobody gave a crap about copyrighted works or intellectual property rights in general around here for damned sure, not ever.
All of a sudden everyone is a digital Karen crying "you need to pay for that" while perched on top their horde of pirated movies, music and audio books. Hey we should only have to pay for stuff if we really like it and the seller provides terms we like, and not if we weren't going to buy it anyway. Right
... dominating the market
Horseshit.
The article claimed an increase in venture capital investments in CA was proof that billionaires weren't fleeing CA to avoid a wealth tax.
The two things are untelated.
Where in the article does it make that claim?
If you're talking about the implication in the headline, I took it as a brag about having a very large pipeline to mint new billionaires, possibly the largest. As in it doesn't matter. They're not wrong.
From the other end, being the destination for a bunch of rich people moving in doesn't really mean shit. My experience from the New England area is that being the place a bunch of rich people from out of state move to just fucks with property taxes and home prices. I mean they're moving there to get away from where they made their money keep more of what they have to themselves, that's sort of the point. I just don't think that's a controversial viewpoint from a place where rich people like to retire to, no matter what side of the aisle you're on.
Man, they really need to pass a law or something to make it affordable to have healthcare in this country, man. Someone should run on that premise. It's something long past having not been tried.
The other party will promptly run on undoing it again. Is there a joke in there I'm missing, because it's really pretty sad.
Affordable Care Act required everyone working that can afford it to pay for health insurance, which is one way to lower insurance premiums - everyone pays in instead of waiting till something is wrong or they're older. Republicans gutted that part, but left in the parts that required dependent coverage for young adult children and maternity and prenatal care, preexisting conditions etc. That's good and all, but you still need healthy people paying in, insurance doesn't work if you wait until you need it to buy it. Republicans still want to keep the insurance middleman, but
The whole country's GDP growth last year was basically carried by AI. So...
That's not a joke.
Okay I don't give a shit because I don't want to be alive in America without property and the people of Fukushima lost all their homes and property. Look it up.. America does not treat people without property well. So you can stop right there with your talking points about number of deaths.
You're trying to pin all the loss and destruction of property on the meltdown and forgetting the massive earthquake and tsunami?
People lose everything here to things like flooding and wildfires and tornados, a nuclear reactor down the road doesn't even move the needle as far as your risk of losing everything or how shitty or impossible it is to rebuild. Jesus man, people lose everything to shit like medical debt here, a car crash, anything can start that shitstorm. To be worried about a meltdown???
Like if all your worldly possessions are reduced to ash, "and the ground underneath it was poisoned" is not even a measurable amount of suck against the tall pile of suck that already is. You're rebuilding somewhere else, if you even can, and that will be a very sad story, but a nuclear reactor didn't do that. That's basically how natural disasters go.
It isn't just bullshit on that end, it's bullshit on the expense end. Most businesses are on $20/user/month plans, some individuals maybe on $100/$200
Where the fuck is $2000/month/user coming from? FTA:
I have heard scary numbers
Uh huh. Where did those come from. Ticking off every AI upgrade option from every SaaS product you rent, AI summaries of AI summaries of AI code reviews everywhere? I don't think THAT even gets you to $2000 a user. Can you burn $2000 if you try, absolutely, is there a story there... well if we don't know the story explaining that then there isn't a story, this is just a bullshit narrative being built.
Look, somewhere an employee made off with an entire months supply of free breakfast bars and coffee pods from the supply closet. Let's not run around with the coffee is costing companies $X based on that bullshit. Or "On-prem datacenters send power bills skyrocketing" when the story is about some VMware servers showing up in a random office closet. How you unexpectedly blew $2000 at work would be a story.
The man knows how to get things done.
There's something off about cheering on another man laying a little pipe. Like we're patting a special kid on the back. We knew you could do it Elon Shortpipe, keep it hanging!
You joke, we still can't cut down an oak tree without preapproval and paying for each inch of girth. Don't mess with Texas doesn't mean shit anywhere you like in Texas, you have to bribe some guys up top first.
when you're still the only one playing the game at his level.
God bless you comrade for signing up to colonize Mars, the Earth is better for people like you. Would you like any help packing?
Because non-destructive testing works sooo much better.
For things people will live in or on or around, yes, yes it is.
Yah, that was the GP's problem though, the parent is right, if you let one session get too long the context goes off the rails. You're better off curating some
That's all best practice _already_, and it's obviously required to drive the process with some control loop too, but you guys acting like this means appending to a single context continuously are so lost. This "loop engineering" (no judgement) is just an automated control loop on top of an already reentrant process.
