I don't care about "being professional" all the time. The most skilled people I know were also the most weird, eccentric and quirky. I've only skimmed the document, but it looks exactly the kind of organization I'd like to work with.

...well, except the fact that they fire people over it, and don't listen to concerns where people don't feel comfortable with some of the clauses. Yeah at this point this crossed into a cult behavior and is unacceptable. But the problem here is not memes, at least for me.

I don't understand what do you mean. They both solve the same problem. Some models solve it better, some worse. And in some cases you can only use local models, so they solve more problems.

"Frontier" (closed) models are better by definition, but if frontier models were good enough for you half a year ago, open models are good enough now.

>much faster.

This really depends on your infrastructure. In this case it all depends on your hardware, and there is no secret sauce, you can buy the same GPUs or better than the big players are using. Self-hostef GLM in our company is faster than any commercial model. Of course the hardware was not cheap, but completely manageable for a medium or large company.

>I'm the kind of person that wants something to be consistent and reliable

And people wonder why open models are a big deal, and why some people love them so much, despite being 30% worse than the frontier.

Having control over something that writes most of your code is important.

I thought my country is protective, but last time I've tried that I was supposed to return the scammy pendrive to some random address in China, at my expense. And the process was, only when seller confirms they received the package I get my refund. Needles to say, I didn't bother (though if I argued enough, I could probably get those few euro back).

In C the return value would be NULL, except it was changed by musl at some point.

Edit: at the beginning, crypt always returned a value. So hypothetical Rust return type would be a String, and then it would be retained for backward compatibility. Or something else would happen, this is a complex logic bug triggered by a 25 year old chain of events.

How would using a language different than C help here? At it's core this bug is a logic bug, where "*" == crypt(x), because crypt in musl started returning "*" in some cases some years ago. This could be Rust. This could be Go.

Not every C vuln is a memory safety problem.

Apparently producing coffee beans for one large coffee uses 140kg of water. Ok, that sounds like a lot.

But also apparently producing one meal worth of chicken takes 700kg of water. Over 3000kg of water for beef. So I think, in comparison, coffee water use if negligible.

I agree with you, but this is probably not true for Vitalik, who is basically an influencer. We should all close our computers and spend our time in nature and reading books, but this does limit our outreach possibilities significantly.

I guess the irony is that in this situation the IP rights trampling machine refuses to trample IP rights.

Is there a version without a paywall?

CVSS is a terrible proxy for vulnerability real world impact. Not to mention, that CVE with CVSS 10.0 in Bob's Flower Names library with 5 users is probably not that important.

Or even "Bob's Super Mario? Ah, great, the fun one". More fun Mario games for us.

Well, but the companies exist because people buy their products, right? If I buy pork from a farm, CO2 was technically produced by that farm, but it's on me.

>There is not a single KPI where the curve shows even the slightest sign of recovery

Ozone, I believe.

>I don't know why should a childless person give a damn about the future beyond their own lifespan.

Pretty wild thing to say. I assure you that almost every childless person cares about someone or something, and would like to protect it.

This is the kind of take that causes more traditional (including right wing, but also people from non western countries) look at climate activists as crazy fanatics. You are technically right, but I think advocating for childlessness causes people to disregard the whole movement as insane.

>My actual neighbor, gets a talk then a call to the local enforcement agency if it doesn't improve.

Is there a local enforcement agency for... tidy lawns where you live?

How? Biggest organisations and shared hosting providers had a chance to patch and protect their users. Everyone else will learn about the vulnerability the second patch comes out (this is also fixable with a configuration chance, so nobody needs to wait for their distro). This was the right approach and it worked.

Government has obligation by law to act. They can't just pull Google on you and ignore support requests.

More likely solution is that they will stop handling requests by internet and we will have to show up in person, like we did 20 years ago.

Technically "defect" still wins in this case, which is what makes the dilemma interesting.

I understand this as: he has a fixed rate $100/m subscription. Prices are what he would pay if he paid API rates.

>i essentially do not interact with the web

Grim. No point in writing blog posts or publishing anything for free if that's the future.

You don't have any police stations in your city?

>Today too, after western proclamation of Ukrainian victory for the last 3+ years, it is clear that Ukraine is facing defeat and cannot win

It was equally clear - also to me - that Ukraine is facing defeat in two or three days after the start of large scale invasion. And yet here we are, three years later.

They're doing great. Even if they surrendered today, they exceeded my initial expectations like 300 times already.

I don't disagree, but "he has inventive to say X" doesn't mean "what he says about X is wrong" It's a fallacy, we should attack the argument, and not the person. This person also very clearly mentioned all of this (in the "sources" section), this is not some underhanded opinion piece.

Having said that I am strongly anti-passkey so I don't need any convincing, but I prefer technical arguments.

Why abridge (and misrepresent) my quote?

>it's not complex if you're a native speaker

Of course this is very complex and not intuitive if you're a language learner. My point was that while there are parts of grammar that native speakers struggle with, and kids drill them for good grades in school, this is not one of that parts. And my broader point was that "needlessly pointless part of the language" is subjective and something language users should judge.

Interestingly my language has both genders and (reduced but present) animate-inanimate distinction. It also used to have singular, plural and "double" declination. As far as I understand this all was originally "invented" in proto-indo-european. Man, PIE was wild.

As a native speaker of a language with genders, it's not complex if you're a native speaker (basically nobody ever makes grammar errors related to gender when speaking/writing). As for their role, I think they may work as a simple error correction code (if genders in the sentence don't match, you misheard something)

FWIW I struggle with using English articles and past/present/future perfect time, because those concepts are absent from my language. Despite decades of experience with English at this point.

>removing the tedious parts of a job can be really nice

Sure. For me AI removes the parts of programming work that I like the most, and "gives" me more time to do thing I consider tedious, like solving human problems, achieving consensus in the team, attending meetings.
