doesn't seem unlikely, i'd probably ask someone who won't massively benefit from people believing that it will be tighter though

what good does it do to invest in a solved problem?

if open models are good enough then it doesn't matter, if they aren't then there's probably a return available in investing there.

you're providing a chunk of storage for excess power for free

i know a guy who bought an arseload of batteries and buys and sells off the grid to make a moderate amount of money. he says it's not really paying back the time spent but he does it because he finds it interesting to optimise

i saw him around a lot on tv and so on as an australian, just genuinely a pretty good bloke. like i dunno what to say i don't know if i've ever cried about an actor dying before

i'd love to say he was awesome in every role but he always seemed super honest in his performance and i think that hurt him a lot when he had to play bullshit characters lol.

i dunno i'm just some guy

why do you think microsoft is that concerned with their user's wellbeing?

there are other industries who's entire business revovles around selling to addicts, why would MS of all companies suddenly balk at that line?

i don't see how it's a design mistake, linux allows more footguns in general to not decrease utility. Allowing you to manually give root prompt access (with warnings!) to a non-root user is one of them.

you can also just not run docker as root and not add normal users to the docker group

it already sends data back to google, the ai stuff, everything that goes in the address bar goes straight to google unless you specifically configure chrome to block it

the on-device ai just offloads some work onto your device

i doubt anyone will be banning chrome, for some reason "it's for ai" is a valid excuse for any amount of sillyness

https://forgejo.org/ already exists, I suspect the issue would be hosting it at scale

i think it was just poorly implemented. i didn't use the circles feature because all my friends would be in one circle and my family were all offline, but i still had to deal with it for no personal benefit

opt in probably would have been better, like just default everyone to one circle and make it obvious how to split them up after you're a bit more comfortable with the platform

they made a bunch of other obvious blunders like attempting to force real names and spread them to youtube, mandatory account linkage etc etc but i think there were probably just too many conflicting high level voices at google trying to set direction

Of course, it takes 2 seconds to shit out an ai song. I'm surprised it isn't way higher

Unless this is improved greatly from the last time I used it is pointless, any command you would use it for instead requires you to right click, open as administrator a command prompt to get the expected result

I disagree, Sol Trujillo became ceo of Telstra in 2005 and immediately started cutting everything to the bone, Kevin Rudd didn't even get into power until 2007 and the NBN wasn't announced until 2009, fairly large gap there
