Main thing the US gets from Israel is Market Capital Export.

Israel accounts for what, like 30-40% of all recent American acquired startups?

I think Steam does have enough influence to be able to pull a sizable chunk of users away from windows.

It seems like a very polarizing game, you either really enjoy it or not at all.

I love the division 1 and 2 but the first game had some MAJOR bullet soak issues for the first half-year of the game’s lifetime.

Massive always does good work despite Ubisoft, in my opinion.

Biggest issue I see is that these LLMs tend to repeat themselves after a surprisingly short number of times (unless they’re sufficiently bloated like ChatGPT).

If you ask any of the users of Sillytavern or RisuAI they’ll tell you that these things have a long tail of not being very creative.

It’s important to take Tesla and SpaceX at face value and not to extrapolate future success based on what they’ve accomplished.

Edit: for anyone that follows SpaceX’s current shenanigans, seems like they’ve been using the FAA to scoot permits to launch without proper authorization from other agencies (notably the EPA)

Shit is getting VERY juicy: https://fixupx.com/RepKiley/status/1839066996274516417

They’ve even got representatives just kind of going along with their demonstrably false narrative for the ride.

Oh, yes but the DRM exemption clause means that you can backwards engineer the changes and continue releasing them under GPL

Edit: as an example we should probably be looking at the duckststion situation evolving right now:

https://vimuser.org/duckstation.html

“releasing the modified version to the public” would cover them re-closing the source and then subsequently releasing that newly closed source, so they can’t relicense it and then release the built version of the code.

At least not easily, this is where court history would likely need to be visited because the way it’s worded the interpretability of “modified” in this context would need to be examined.

Do you mean finetune data?

A model’s configuration data is training data.

What do you mean by “configuration data?”

Recent studies suggest the science on this is less clear than that TED talk suggests. So I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on either the idea that automation will or won’t take away net jobs.

This exists but not to the extent it did in the 80s, and expectations aren’t forced and are usually just part of the company advancement culture. “Expected overtime” is listed as part of the job description and the expectation that you stay longer than your boss doesn’t exist much anymore. Also if you don’t follow that culture, they can’t fire you without showing that they don’t have the budget to keep you on and they’ve tried every possible other avenue of remediation. At-will employment laws are nonexistent here.

Instead of fire you they usually put you in a room by yourself to just sit there for 8 hours a day. You still collect a paycheck.

Most young people with cell phones have figured out that this is awesome and have started “quiet quitting” by just doing the actual requirements for the job and going home or doing education on their own time.

However if you like your career and want to advance in your field you’re still fucked and you’re gonna be working a shitload of overtime

It’s max 40 hours a week before it goes into overtime, but lots of companies do expect unpaid overtime.

The nice thing is that once you’re a salaried employee it’s almost impossible to fire you without extensive work on the company’s side. People only do the unpaid overtime if they want to advance in the company. If you’re in a comfortable spot you can just not do it.

I don’t think it’ll solve the problem. Ask anyone in the sillytavern subreddit and they’ll tell you LLMs tend to repeat the same dialogue a lot (look up the “shivers up/down their spine” meme)

Edit: since it might not be obvious, here’s an example of people who use LLMs for character dialogue’s opinion on the content being produced: (Link Warning: reddit)

Do image previews work over SSH? I admit I’ve never actually tried it…

I wouldn’t bother unless you find yourself doing more through the terminal than through GUIs.

I don’t have a built-in file browser (not using a DE, just i3 window manager), so I use ranger and pure GNU coreutils commands mostly but I still find myself missing the drag-and-drop features that FreeDesktop integration provides for stuff like nautilus.

I can’t tell if you’re talking about Israel…

The problem is that the Linux kernel is monolithic so introducing rust into it does have certain repercussions about downstream compatibility between modules.

Right now the rust code in the kernel uses c bindings for some things and there’s a not-insignificant portion of C developers who both refuse to use rust and refuse to take responsibility if the code they write breaks something in the rust bindings.

If it was pure C there would be no excuse as the standard for Linux development is that you don’t break downstream, but the current zeitgeist is that Rust being a different language means that the current C developers have no responsibility if their code refactoring now breaks the rust code.

It’s a frankly ridiculous stance to take, considering the long history of Linux being very strict on not breaking downstream code.

Well part of what it does is grab your actual desktop background to use, and there’s a couple different ways to do that on Linux afaik

Also I guess the file dialogs would open only to the wine prefix? My experience with wine applications and dialogs is mostly through bottles, so I’m not sure of the sandboxing…

Expecting a company that blew up their own rocket pad and falsified EPA documents to think ahead is too much for them apparently.
