well, in a large company, you cannot leave for every asshole that thinks he is better than you, or you never work anymore.

I wonder what made it so magic.

Indeed, I played the sequels, and although they were great, they never quite captured the magic of Deus Ex 1.

Deus Ex 1 was amazing. My best gaming experience ever. I loved every moment of it, exploring the entire city. Thank you Warren!!

Such a biased and utilitarian view. The goal of publishing is to communicate your findings to the scientific community for the sake of advancing our knowledge as a society.

Of course you might want to keep _some_ of this knowledge as trade secret, but then don’t claim you are doing research.

You are advancing your shareholder’s interests, not that of the broader society.

god bless usenet. The good ol' flame wars aren't what they are used to anymore with all this moderation and trolling feeding each other around here.

As I read somewhere, “I smell fear”. But we should all be afraid. Not only Anthropic isn’t anywhere close to being profitable, but the whole gang of frontier labs, breastfed with a mix of VC money and pension funds from the average Joe, is being pressured by Chinese lab. I just hope they find some defensible moat someday, or these $$$ are going to go up in smoke.

The fact that you think that way is probably because they have something that they care enough about to go to such extremes. I think they deserve a lot of admiration.

I am probably missing something, but how DNS TXT updates can be made difficult to automate?

Do you have examples of such celebrations?

I am tempted to agree with you because I could never quite wrap up my head around it, but I never had to implement OAuth beyond a brief skim through the doc for my own understanding. I always thought this complexity was there for some good reason (security?).

I did it and achieved 69’400. English is a second language to me and I think this is quite overestimated, though. Mostly due to French being my first language and most of the advanced words in the tests were derived from French. Or some more academic use.

Lots of people in this thread look at this as a pro/anti-nuclear debate. But few people consider the fact that the first election from the said nuclear plant will be produced 25 years from now in the very best case. Plus, nuclear plants have a huge cooling problem during summertime.
