Capitalists are always looking for ways to make sure you don't have a choice, or at least not a real choice.
That's why companies often find that the kind of consumer lock-in they do in the US doesn't fly in the EU. Just because a consumer has a choice not to buy an Apple phone, doesn't mean that Apple can't remove choices from them about where to buy apps from, or to switch to Android and lose all their purchased apps and accessories.
Indeed, lack of production has been a limiting factor in their exports so far.
Also the practice of pre-registering cars is commonplace in Europe. The dealer buys the car from themselves, registers it to themselves, and sells it "second hand" to the customer with only delivery miles on the clock. My current car was supposed to be like that, but they just registered it to me so it was brand new, but for the pre-registered price.
I'm always surprised that VS is the best IDE. You would think that there would be a really great open source one, given that every open source developer needs something to edit code and manage projects... But nope, the only half way decent open source IDE is Visual Studio Code, another Microsoft product.
I have to use Eclipse based IDEs for various things, and they are all painful and buggy. The UI is a complete mess. It's a little bit mind boggling how bad it is.
The Dice era did so much damage, but to be fair the new owner fixed a lot of things and the place got a lot better. Of course many people didn't come back.
This ad is annoying though because it covers the content. I'd rather it was part of the page layout, than floating over it.
The damages might be insignificant, but if OpenAI doesn't stop doing it they could be much larger. That's likely the point here, to stop them doing it or to force them to buy a licence.
All those things are true of places like Saudi Arabia, only worse. They don't seem to have issues getting talent though.
They pay big bucks, they have enclaves for foreigners to live in, and they use English as the working language where needed.
You know those stories about the Saudi police having supercars? Those cars were bought on credit by foreigners. It's illegal to default on a loan over there, so when they get fired and suddenly can't afford the repayments, they ditch the car and flee the country. The police eventually come and collect it as abandoned, and if they can't find the paperwork for it (accidentally fell in the shredder) they put police livery on it and use it for patrol.
This seems to be a misunderstanding of the current rules. Chinese nationals can take up about $50k out of the country annually, but there is no limit for foreign nationals. As long as you paid all your taxes, you can take as much money as you like out.
The fact that places like Saudi Arabia are able to attract people, despite the fact that drinking is illegal and women's rights are heavily curtailed, suggests that somewhere comparatively liberal like China won't have any issues.
A lot of people get an ffmpeg binary from some repo, and they often compile those with all the optional extras.
Either way, it needed to be fixed.
Right, and just leave the vulnerabilities unpatched so that someone else with AI can start exploiting them.
A 1995 video game format may sound unimportant, but if you say run a website where users can upload video, which gets transcoded with ffmpeg...
something in AI? That's surprising, they've been slow to jump on the LLM bandwagon. Maybe dragging their feet will look like the right move after the bubble pops.
...order to induce R&D, but the side effect is a glut of cars and mass collapsing of brands. Chinese citizens got dicked by a tator, who treats them like guinea pigs.
