Lol what? You seriously think that the #1 Chinese AI company is not being subsidized by the Chinese government?

Ads will eventually make their way into the responses or side bars. It will be interesting (and depressing) to see who does it first and who holds out hoping to squeeze out the ad-supported LLM providers.

I'm also confused, but I'd imagine that if Trump lost the election and betting sentiment on polymarket predicted strongly that Trump would win, it could be used as further "proof" that fraud occurred and that the democrats stole the election.

Polymarket probably thinks that the Biden administration is angry with them for showing how the population truly feels as all other sources are obviously corrupt /s

This approach makes a lot more sense than OP's. Vocabulary is dead simple to brute force learn with Anki and a frequency dictionary (shared deck), grammar/natural flow of language is a lot harder without a ton of practice

Not to take a dig at you but to set some context for other language learners reading this, 1000 words in a year is awful progress. It would take you 10 years to have just a semi-fluent vocabulary in a simple (for native English speakers) language like Spanish, Italian, or French, and that's not including grammar. This is the main problem with feel-good apps like Duolingo, giving all sorts of positive feedback for what amounts to very little progress.

Anki + a frequency dictionary + 34 new words/day (with 80% retention due to spaced repetition) is easily doable by our brains to get to semi fluency (~10k words) in a year. Or, take a month to cram the first 2000 words and you're well on your way versus other wastes of time.

The UHK (ultimate hacking keyboard) comes pretty close. I can vouch for its high quality, and it's about as portable as you can get for that many keys without switching to a slim profile like in the OP

Try that for baldurs gate 3. The trash results that are returned might have what you're looking for, after scrolling past the SEO highschool essay style intro and after closing the mid page JavaScript embedded nag window.

What's the difference between a fanless laptop and a Linux OS tablet? A keyboard on hinges or something?

The post is flippant but a decent strategy. Your goal (whether you're a total comp+promo seeker or just looking to float) is to arm your manager with as much ammunition as possible to argue on your behalf during calibrations. Project impact can be easily argued against, especially when your area of work is difficult or not well understood by other engineering teams, not to mention that coming up with undeniably impactful projects every 6-12 months is not possible on many teams. Lines of code and moving efficiency or cost metrics cannot be argued against. It's not the only way to "succeed" at Meta but it's certainly the easiest way

All of Facebook uses btrfs for their root filesystem (or did when I worked there). Millions of servers. They of course have the caveat of having kernel and btrfs developers working for them, and they run new kernels
