It is just crazy to me that people traded their rights away just because they got mad at some DEI programs and trans people.
outside1234··on Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) 2026 Cancelled
DEI money -> GPU money

outside1234··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
Wouldn't work. They would just send enough drones to overwhelm it or run it out of ammos or Russia out of money. This is the lesson we are learning the hard way in the Middle East.
outside1234··on Yandex Takes a Second Data Center Hit in 48 Hours
They should consider withdrawing from Ukraine
outside1234··on OpenAI annualised revenues $20B less than previously signalled
How much money do they have left? It is hard for me to see how OpenAI doesn't fail at this point. There is no business, no moat. Honestly, the best outcome seems like failing up into a Microsoft acquisition at this point.
outside1234··on Meta and Microsoft take steps to reduce employee usage of Claude AI
In California this would mean the employee would own the IP -- or at least it would be murky -- and companies and lawyers don't like murky.
outside1234··on Meta and Microsoft take steps to reduce employee usage of Claude AI
Microsoft is only limiting employees to $10k a month, down from $100k a month. :)
outside1234··on StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta
I click a quest and answer it but the app seems to be stuck on that quest and I can't figure out how to get back to all of the quests available near me. Is that a common experience?

For a prototype or a 1 or 2 use tool, yes, this is exactly how serious people are building software.

I clicked "Lower deficit spending" but it didn't work
outside1234··on OpenAI Says It Will Not Release Newest A.I. Model Over Safety Concerns
Isn’t this like the twentieth model they said this about?

Are they sure it isn’t because they are setting money on fire and have no business model?

outside1234··on [dead]
I mean is it any surprise? He follows the classic success strategy: 1) Fix things that are painful for people 2) Tell people about how you fixed things that were painful for them.

Meanwhile, his competition spends 95% of their time just texting people for campaign contributions

outside1234··on Learning another language may be one of the best ways to keep your brain healthy
And it is only getting easier to learn a language now too. What FINALLY got me over the hump with Spanish was YouTube and discovering resources like Dreaming Spanish (leveled content for comprehensive input that probably exist in most major languages). Content that was fun and at my level.

Mix into that a weekly lesson with italki from your home and you can learn any language at any age.
