none, its mostly theater imo

does not work for sid/forky due to libsodium

still no sid/forky

I am going to make a dangerous assumption and assume that does not mean "we think we should use the written word to train our LLM" as that isn't actually anything that requires consensus. So presumably, the "team" discussion was about how to acquire said books. That the "consensus" answer was "through shadow libraries" sounds an awful lot like "conspiracy to commit commercial copyright infringement" and appears to be a rather shortsighted argument to be making.

Wait, "some other company" can replace Falcon in "a few years" but everyone is "20 years behind" a design that has only been under active development since late 2018? Your math ain't mathing, dude.

And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world, in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. [emphasis mine]

Which is pretty funny, since the only major difference between the two these days is "Is Google spying on you, or is Microsoft?"

Also UBI programs get you just enough to survive. Not to have an interesting life with projects, hobbies, etc... In other words, shut the fuck up or we are gonna starve you.

Well, if the US was a functioning country (or its predecessor), they would have hanged the crew of the White Lion in 1619 and freed its cargo of prisoners meant to be sold as slaves. It boggles the mind that this wasn't obvious, even at the time.

Oh shit, this reminds me I have written a lot of 32-bit software that will rollover in 2038. Fortunately I retire the year before that...

You sure it's a Windows problem and not a mouse+bluetooth problem ? I had one that I hated because it forgot to click or move sometimes (particularly tiny motions). USB mouse or bust for me.

Yes. I never left X11 because my tries with Wayland showed that remote desktop via ssh+vnc didn't work and I need that daily. Maybe it works now or there is some suitable replacement but I never bothered as I don't see what problem Wayland is trying to solve and I don't need a faster screen.

Fuck him and the horse he rode on. Fuck his business. Fuck his technology. Fuck his company. Fuck his employees. Fuck his investors. Fuck his government ties. Fuck him defending this shit. Fuck everyone who wants this. Fuck the government for buying into it. Fuck the laws that allow this if they do.

> Democrats can't fix shit! They are just as bad as Republicans

Translation: I notice the same problems regardless of who is in charge of what, so they are both the same to me.

Elon, Sam, Mark, Peter, et al... You are cordially invited to go fsck yourselves.

The magnitude of destruction you have wrought upon this industry, upon our livelihoods, and upon society as a whole, cannot be calculated, much less excused. You have stolen the corpus of human ingenuity and creativity from its creators without recompense, and now are trying to sell a provably shittier version of it back to us at a markup.

And, let's be honest, this is what you wanted to build -- a barely capable servant who will do your bidding, whatever it is, immediately, without question or compunction. It's extremely telling about your moral compasses that you studiously sat on your hands when your customers were creating graphic sexual imagery of celebrities over their vociferous objections; or impressionable young people (who needed help, not encouragement) were being driven to suicide by your chatbots; but "torturing" a memory block of neural net constants is somehow the bridge too far?

I repeat: Go fsck yourselves.
