Wonder if this was the space bunny alpha model

> cannot understand why any sane person would

because it's not the specific action. it's the reason behind the action.

> Stop pretending normal people care about this

Stop pretending you're a normal person and it's everyone else who is wrong

> factual things Grok model does wrong

It convinced u/highmastdon to go out and be an elon musk dick rider. It also convinced them that "hid[ing] behind morality" is somehow a bad thing, which shows everyone the quality of person they are.

> employment opportunities

the 5-7 people they employ during normal operation. High skilled engineers get flown in for setup and major changes/operations.

They add little local economic value.

It's because they're optimizing for a different problem.

Western Models are optimizing to be used as an interchangeable product. Chinese models are being optimizing to be built upon.

AI Data-centers and AI Hardware at cost or cost plus. OpenAI's deal with Oracle is more or less at cost...

OCI's infrastructure design is just good enough to work well enough most of the time, and you can't get cheaper.

Are you stuck using Oracle Cloud? Does working with their support team make you die inside? Do you need help on IPv6, OS Image Creation, Oracle Cloud Agent, vNIC management, OKE, or why things suck the way they do and how to work around them? Bump my line.

I've learned more about how to use Oracle Cloud than I would ever like to know and I've also found and gotten fix a few major platform defects.

killer way to market a product.

Here's a blog post with interesting information that just so happens to advertise how you can use our product

The amount of hidden engineering in Analog systems is mind blowing. Imagine how many hours were spent in a lab figuring out the exact right timings, chemical mixtures, and circuit design needed to make modern Cinema exist as we know it.

It's a shame that they can't transition it to a read-only archive type site, where everything is still accessible and playable- jut no new updates or content.

Man. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was on linux.

Good luck! It looks like an amazing product.

Not really. Nomad is closer, and Mesos (the old one) is closer still.

I wrote my own as a rust library, and I'm in the progress of further breaking it apart. Might get a prototype finished this weekend and if so, I'll share it here.

Same & Agreed. Be aware of what you're doing, and make sure you can realistically be sober 10 out of every 14 days. Dependence/Addiction needs to be avoided at all costs.

I think the part of the discussion that is ignored here is the security aspect.

Apple has hardened their hardware against attackers replacing components of the phone with compromised versions. Sure, at the same time it prevents 3rd party repairs, but I don't think Apple's only motivation for doing this was to screw over 3rd party repair shops.

When the NSA leaks came out, there was some sections that showed how shipments of electronics could be intercepted and backdoored. I would 100% believe there are groups out there that have or are working on chip level attacks for iPhones and other mobile products. Swap Apple's Face unlock chip with a custom one that includes other embedded profiles that can unlock the phone without the owner's knowledge does not seem far fetched.

A lot of the changes to the MacBooks seem to also have been done with device hardening in mind.

I cannot tell you how much damage my iPhone 12 Pro has taken without the screen cracking, which makes me personally think the reasons these changes have been made are not just related to 3rd party repairs.

I'm splitting my time between a Pre-Series A startup, a Series E startup that's my fulltime gig, and developing my own cloud platform similar to AWS in Rust.

The cloud platform is fun. Learning the different components and just giving myself the freedom to do things in the best way I can figure out- writing my own RPC Framework, Scheduler, VM Management Tooling, etc... The end objective is to build a "not for profit" cloud platform for personal and small projects. So you can build awesome cloud-native applications for communities and other areas that are not profit driven.

Also might start trying to build a custom digital rifle scope for my AR-10. Something that can do range finding and basic sight adjustments based on distance and wind. That'd be cool...
