Some (Ed zitron?) have suggested the convertible notes were payment for compute or training. Which seems to track reality because for some reason they've still got 90%+ of the cash they raised over the last couple years. How likely is it? In any event with 50-100b of IPO cash, they seem prepared to survive massive losses for years ? Looks like infinite money glitch.

Sure. My kids trump unhinged account already got more money from some other would be oligarch in oligarch stocks. I've been waiting for them all to plant the seeds of bootlicking.

False. I do not have to participate. Solvency guaranteed.

Yeah I live and work effectively in a bubble where people hold many of those views, some maybe hold all those views, at least the non caricature versions. It's never been an issue for me. Has it been a problem for you? Where and how? Can you share why this is so important to you?

I don't know anything about the WNBA or its rules so I don't have an opinion. I also do not care.

We use both in production here; but, let's be VERY CLEAR: there is absolutely NO FAIR COMPARISON between a locally hosted model on above-average hardware and what Anthropic (and I assume others) is offering with their, currently, subsidized plans.

The purposeful performative confusion of sex and gender in these pissy little comments does nothing except signal your teammates. Do you deny the existence or distinction of biological and cultural characteristics? Nature vs. nurture? Like you can disagree with all this stuff without pretending to be a fucking idiot.. would you try it sometime? We might actually get somewhere.

Yeah except you offer a vague non specific example that I don't encounter in my woke reality in contrast to an executive order by POTUS. They aren't really the same.

Vpn and torrent are even better. No compelling case against it, even legal ones. Well if you don't have the hdd space already, there might be a financial case against it. But it's ok to infringe copyright and it's easier and better than ever.

I am sure you know this and are just trying to shit on the editors, as one does on /.; but here, use this in case you didn't know: https://xcancel.com/_lyraaaa_/...

Holy shit that got funny at the end?

Humidity is currently 91% in Yangsan.

City Council member of a non-listed Twin Cities suburb I know:

FBI is involved. Most water systems use one of two control/alert systems that are old and make them easy targets.

All they did was shut down components of the systems e.g., wells/sewer lift stations. Most cities were able to cycle manually to get back up and running. There was not messages warning or ransom of which I am aware.

They could have done a lot more damage if they wanted to, rather than just shutting things down.

I live in Plymouth; there was no city communications about this nor did I see any issues. So, I assume there were no physical disruptions to service.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.

That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.
