Are you saying they had to hire people to "steal open source"?

I fail to see how driving users to competitors and crippling the search experience appeases the shareholders. Can you elaborate?

The original HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) was in 1994 and it's where the phrase "Hack The Planet" originated. The "Hack The Planet" phrase was also used in the movie Hackers and, if you look closely, you can spot some yellow HOPE 1994 stickers in various scenes.

You'd pay for it what you paid for it. Did the "Buy" button specify that you were buying the movie or did it say you were simply leasing the film and that it can be removed at any time due to licensing agreement over which you (as the buyer) had no control over?

I wonder if this is the real reason Tim Cook is resigning as CEO. He's a supply chain guy and semiconductor supply chains seem utterly borked right now.

1996 was 30 years ago. What about comparing prices from 3 years ago? 2023 vs 2026.

Which article is wrongm Both the article and Wikipedia entry focus on The Backrooms which are a type of liminal space. Yes, liminal spaces have existed in fiction, dreams, etc. However, here the discussion is on The Backrooms and how that idea and aesthetic became very popular very quickly.

Despite the headline, this is not a toothbrush. This is a "toothbrush-shaped ultrasound transducer". Mind you, I don't know why this wouldn't "increase dentist margin". This is an analysis tool that makes dentistry easier (just like dental X-rays).

I think the biggest change with external defibrillators has been placement. It's now front and back instead of two on the front.

I'm not sure I understand this analogy. If Meta changes what underlying model they use, it'll still be called Meta AI. Having the criteria be "what new features does it offer to the users of the site" means that things like databases, servers, etc. are not products. This is objectively false.

They see AI features front and center. They dont see the backend (which may or may not be running Llama). Same goes for React although, with React, the framework is what the end user directly interacts with. So, by that logic, React is more of a product than Llama.

Yes and Facebook uses React and GraphQL. Meta AI uses PyTorch. Does that make them all products?

How is Llama a product? It's more like React, PyTorch, GraphQL, etc.
