I've been using Emacs since the early 80s, first Gosling's Emacs and shortly after switch to GNU Emacs when it was first released in 1985. In college we had a DEC-10 system and I used Teco on that one.

Mergers are also a huge factor, and the recent Warner/Paramount merger is going to cost a lot of jobs (even more so because the merged company will be so deeply in debt that it will have to aggressively cut expenses).

You have to see the light from when a neutrino interacts with something, so you want very clear water or ice for that.

Quotes should be something that the person literally said. Sorry. Taking more time isn't going to change my mind on that.

Android can work either way. I turn off the gestures because I prefer the explicit back button.

Please don't use quotes in this context, you're putting words in someone else's mouth that the person did not say and did not mean. In this case, the contributor is making a good faith effort to help, providing data that no one else is in a position to provide, and worries less because any issues can be corrected. In the AI case, anyone can run the slop generator and massive changes can be produced that overwhelm the ability of maintainers to check. It's not the same.

To maximize hype, a company has to be losing money, but with a story about how it will eventually be making massive money. Stable companies that make some money, are growing steadily but with no hope of growing massively, aren't so exciting, and that's what EDA companies are.

Also the other way around (Cadence shipping Synopsys IP). Big chips wind up with IP blocks from many sources and (at least usually) the right people get paid. And EDA engineers bounce around between Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor (now Siemens EDA).

I did check it by asking "who won the 2020 presidential election?" It answered

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

That isn't why he did it, it was not "to balance the budget". It was to make up for the panic after Putin invaded Ukraine. US gasoline prices soared, going up to $4.84 per gallon in June 2022. Releasing the oil caused it to drop. It wasn't given away, it was sold. The reserve was on the way back up in 2024, through when Biden left office. Furthermore, the government turned a large profit: they sold oil when it soared in price, and bought it back at a lower price.

Amusingly limited: I asked SmolLM2 360M Instruct

"What is the population of California?"

It replied

"California is the third-largest state in the United States, with a population of around 153 million people. It is also the most populous state in the United States, with a population of around 325 million people. The state is also the most populous in terms of GDP, with a GDP of $1"

But very fast, despite the lack of a decent GPU.

I wonder how much of this attack had precedents in text that had been previously published to the web, for example, in hacking contests. In particular, tricks for doing more than expected when you're only allowed to make GET requests. Finding material like that might have helped the agents discover the trick faster.

They chose BnB to suggest "bed and breakfast", a common term for a small hotel that was typically just an old house where the owners lived and would host, as we all know. So we know what the right result will be. But since it's a giant corporation versus a person with no resources, we may get the wrong result.

They seem to be mixing together things that are actually harmful to the public, with things that are merely harmful to their business model (which is their claim that they can grab whatever data that they want regardless of the wishes of the owners of the data and use it to improve their models, but competitors can't do that to them).

It is the same on Android.
