My EV can easily tow a boat

Plenty did not do anything for years and then the first ones to come out were super expensive in a "yeah we don't want to but here take this expensive thing".

20% margin is nicer than 5% margin

I agree that this is a problem for a small percentage of peoople and I find it ignorant to playt down this issue.

But EVs are critical to the environment and we have to do something.

Also the biggest issue is not EVs, its the super unclear and slow transition and borderline fighting against it which would allow for cheap EVs to exist due to scaling laws.

No it hasn't and BYD has a factory in hungary now which solves the tarifs issue for BYD

There is no Tesla Full self driving in europe.

BMW can self drive on autobahns in europe.

"The easiest path to query via x402 is to install Purl Wallet, a Stripe-developed CLI wallet for your agent. Set up your wallet, top it off using Base-native USDC, and start querying today."

for 99% of people the first thing they need to do is to understand x402, Purl Wallet, Stripe-developed CLI wallet and base-native USDC.

Funny how crypto tries to snake itself back into our ecosystem again and is still as shitty as it was bfore.

Its a technical solution to a non existing problem.

99% of the big companies provide a standardized known way of paying stuff everyone is used to use.

Its a credit card.

Whatever happens somehow in the background, no one cares.

How is this biting anyone?

Its friday, people will just do certain things later.

One claude instance also doesn't need billions of dollars of operational infrastructure to work.

Its great that you can keep your computer running, 1/3 of my information is ithe cloud (which is not a problem at all, even today) and 100% of my infrastructure is in the cloud.

Its not a problem at all, that a service has an outage. My laptop also had an outage when the logic board broke. Took 2 days to fix so what

Don't forget the memory requirements for context.

Its not frontier even if it performs like a previous frontier model 12 month ago.

So we are now a gossip platform?

And the people before Bowser didn't bother you?

I mean 6/7 right? What do you expect? Nintendo never allowed it, always went for these 'projects'.

I don't think Nintendo lost any lifelong customers because lifelong customers don't need what Bowser and co did. so

At this level? At this age from these people?

Not sure what the website hostes, but you could try github pages?

No but the time these tools were created, the whole ecosystem was small. The binaries were small, the tools were small, internet was small/slow

You mentioned, as the first big point:

"Having sex with your workers and chinese spies is obviously not the kind of behavior that reflects that."

Fair though you didn't say cheating, but it undermined (at least by reading it) the main argument you brought up later regarding chinese spies

The features systemd has and encapuslates fits very well of what a service manager should do.

Just starting a service at boottime doesn't help much and ignores a lot of stuff around.

What do i start when a user logs in? how many resources is the service allowed to use? How do i control that service and read its logs?

If i already start a service, i can also start a service based on other events like bus events (which are needed potentially anyway for services to communicate) or by time.

And all of this needs to shutdown properly when finished.

Systemd takes care of services and encapsulates everything relevant to it.

For me systemd is similar to blender, firefox and co.

But the unix philosophy thing came not from a time of blender, firefox and systemd but a time of ls, cat, grep, xargs and co.

There might be a relevant risk of a backdoor in these models.

Self hosting is still far away from what Anthropic and co offers. A Mac Studio with 128GB doesn't deliver the speed at all. If you burn through $400 a month, you also might get a lot more value out of it so you don't care paying a premium.

We will see though. I think its not that easy to tell.

We don't know anything about his cheating and it shouldn't matter.

We don't know his relationship with his wife, what their stands on cheating even stands.

You can argue its an image issue, but thats a problem of the press and marketing and not that he might have cheated.

His wife is an adult and is for sure not poor, so its not a situation were she has to stay with him.

I do believe it either has to do with the whole spy story or he did something he really shouldn't have.

There is a differecen between Blizzard adding it as an optional feature and forcing it onto me.

I hate this 'unix philosophy in mind' 'principle' as an argument.

We are no longer 50 years ago were a linux system or distro was fitting on a floppy disk.

The handful of tools like grep, cp, etc. have a complexity of a banana and everything else successful is so big, that it doesn't fit at all.

Blender, container, ffmpeg, vlc, vim, firefox and co. Huge code bases. And if someone woudl argue "yeah but firefox is doing one thing, its browsing" thats an argument you can bring for systemd too.

Systemd is just not a 'start services in the right order' tool. Its more holistic

How much longer should I wait?

As I said, i'm using it for probably a decade by now.

I like writing code, but seeing my ideas visualized after an hour is more fun than writing code.

And even if AI is disappearing tomorrow and not progressing any further, i see already myself living on a farm with cheap energy (pre invest into solar and batterie) and having my small AI datacenter in basement and running multiply fable level agents 24/7 for different things.

Genie is out of the bottle.

Frontier is frontier and Open Models from China are not.

Then in a corporate environment, were most tokens will be spend, you have security concerns, you also might want to go with one company over the other due to partnerships etc.

If USA is blocking chinese companies/models (which they already partially did), big companies will just not bother and use US AMerican models.

Also running it yourself is often not relevant. You don't want to know how much money my company spends on software products which could easily be replicated internally.

But running models yourself might be something you don't have expertise with, you need GPU ready DC, hardware, a new/diffferent team, quality assurances etc.

And Chinese models are known to leverage frontiermodels for post-training results.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say chinese models can't disrupt the market massivly absolut possible, but its not given just because they are cheaper.

I just 'bought' some through ing-diba, you can set a limit.

I'm using systemd for ages, never had a single issue at all with it.

But do you run systemd and complain or why do you even hate it?

its linux right, if a linux distribution decides to use it, its not systemds fault to be used and if you use it and don't take the time and effort to have it your way, you shouldn't complain either?

Like it :)

What i don't get is why booting still takes seconds. When power is on, the hardware is on.

You can initalize most hardware in parallel, reading the amount of operation system into ram is fast.

I really don't know in which country you live, but while we had plenty of discussions in germany if there needs to be a mandate for vaccination, it did not happen.

there was no forced vaccination besides Bundeswehr (our army).

So first off no one was forced, secondly if you told someone that we give you a virus which will give you an immune reaction or a weakend pathogen or whatever, what does a normal person do with this information anyway?

No human in history thought "oh that sounds bad/good lets do/not do that". They trust science and math and thats how it was with covid too.

Besides the fact, that mRNA was discussed up and down in germany at that time. It was brought up in different tv shows, news articles, blogs etc. Every doctor has to explain to you how stuff works if you asked and the internet exists.

So we had a virus, after the SARS outbreak from a few years back were people in canada died, a virus moving very fast and overwhelming hospitals left and right and researchers having a solution which was statistically better to have than covid at that time.

Theh images of italy or New York city went around the globe. A society expects their hospitals to work and be functinal and not overrun by a lot of peple who are dying.

What I do not understand from your position: why do you think adults can't be bothered to inform themselves but need 24/7 news coverige about mRNA? The Wikipedia article alone about this was up-to-date all the time. The people who took the jab of mRNA, were not forced and did not inform themselves and are now com[laining have nothing to complain about.

I got all vaccines, including boosters and i have read up on mRNA etc. i still think it is and was the right decision.

Having a virus in your body which attacks random nerve cells around your whole body is not something i wanted.
