good "best laptop 2024" search results, absolutely exist, but they have to be heavily personalized towards user and i dont think we adjusted to such levels of in search (we have expectations of median/commonality there)

> I didn't trust myself not to blow both my feet off with Clojure

But you are clojure engineer(by trade). Kinda weird, cause on the other end, I myself do backend in clojure but in frontend i much prefer js/svelte. (cljs tooling is making me cry, almost always)

No, open source means that sources are open, typically for inspection, modification etc. Also here it can be considered the case. Likely in order to claim "true open source", they would have to share dataset? But even this might not be enough for truely open source model? This dataset is nothing but another artifact. So how did they arrive at this dataset, now they have to share pipelines and infra...

.. the thing is, we have not dealt with llm much, it's hard to say what can be considered open source llm just yet, so we use that as metaphore for now

All the usecases we see. Take a look at perplexity optimising short internet research. If I get this mostly right its fine enough, saved my 30 minutes of mindless clicking and reading - even if some errors are there.

> we haven't had time to really adjust emotionally.

I think we adjusted, but we just apply broader context. No one would recommend going all-in on FTX with your life savings. Likely no one involved is really poor and this affected his life strongly. People lost money for their retirement retro vehicle, it's fairly easy to adjust to that.

This not saying it's ok, but its annoyance in effects mostly or should be(I think likely there are may be people, who put too much money, but then again internet financial advisory board all appears and says: HA! Told ya not to do it!).

I think the goal was last attempt at nation building in middleeast (that started in 70s, due to oil being way more important for US than now). In order to do nation building of course you have to shake the country and its structure, but you try to shake out the bad people, install stable and reasonable government and plant seeds for democracy, try and introduce some liberalism, education, infrastructure.

It failed, yes. But it succeeded in great many places, eastern europe, large part of south east asia, some african countries.

Russia is just a sorry ass loser, their country is in downward spiral and needs to exert power over its sphere of influence, thing is that countries in that sphere some time ago decided they dont really want to be aligned. Thus Russia decided to punish Ukraine otherwise the rest will also fall out of sphere (ironically I think they accelerated that process even more).

I was drooling each time he said Poland in that interview. Putin's got special kink for us. Its not well known fact but through weird tricks we ended up ruling Russia for a couple of years. Not a lot of folks on both side knew about it, but then Putin send money for a movie 1612, depicting their heroic retaking of motherland from polish oppressors.

I don't think Poland is very doubtful towards US(some is always welcome). We have strong ties and generally are on extremely good terms with US compared to other western countries.

As for weapons, well its a market situation, sometimes perhaps having non-us weapon systems is actually better.

Google and MS should offer support. While both of them operate app markets they have not went hardcore into ban all other markets, lock platforms.
