The USA of 1945 was a very different place from the USA of 2025.
In 1945, the USA was run by competent, rational actors who understood what needed to be done to prevent another world war and to prevent Europe and Japan to descending into chaos, and were willing to spend the money necessary to do that.
In 2025, the USA is run by incompetent fascists... whose only saving grace is indeed their incompetence, or else the fascist takeover of the USA would be a lot further along.
The workstation I'm typing this on has 128GB of RAM. It's probably worth more than my car now.
Yes, give it away; there are plenty of needy people in the world. Or else stop over-producing clothing and footwear in the first place.
Translated into English: "Anthropic has insufficiently bribed the Trump regime and must therefore be punished."
It's called a positive feedback loop. And it will be way more annoying that a squeal from a speaker too close to a mic.
Even if the transport protocol is secure, you have no assurance that the data hasn't been modified on the server. Which is why if you care, you should verify the cryptographic signature of whatever you download---it is signed, right? And you should also sign anything important that you upload.
For downloads, you also need to ponder how much you can trust the signing key.
Sure. Anything that doesn't require authentication and provides publicly-known information anyway doesn't need encryption.
It's 2026. Who on Earth still runs a Telnet server? (Other than cute little demos like mapscii.me that don't require authentication anyway.)
Gee, nothing self-serving there, is there?
Actually, those "third-world shitholes" use much less energy and fewer resources than wealthy countries. So it's wealthy countries that should be reducing either their consumption or their population.
It's not just "Westernized" countries, whatever that means. Birth rates are down everywhere, even in countries with traditionally high birth rates.
Examples: Kenya had 7.65 live births per woman in 1960 and is now at 3.26. India went from 5.92 to 1.99. Lebanon 5.88 to 2.26. Saudi Arabia 7.63 to 2.28.
There are no incentives in the world that can meaningfully change those numbers. We just have to adapt to a new reality.
For architectures that lack working hardware, wouldn't it make more sense to take an existing front-end like gcc or clang and just generate a back-end for the targeted hardware?
'twas a pun. 10^100 is a googol.
There's also an absolutely wonderful animated movie called Flow. Seems like Google really doesn't care about trademarks and confusing people.
Most public domain software is free, at least at first glance.
