Hi all,

It is a very long text post with some technicals, so possibly a parsing error in the text preview?

Thanks! Worked around it by blocking the user temporarily.

So the article repeats, several times, “waymo relies on remote operators”. I don’t think the author knows what “self-driving” means.

Yahoo search is just reskinned Bing, if that matters to you.

While true, it’s pretty asinine to hold companies operating in China accountable for complying with Chinese law. It sucks, but they aren’t just going to abandon the Chinese ~cash cow~ market.

Or, the real sign of gentrification is that the Google Maps car drives by your neighborhood more than once every five years. Guarantee that’s not happening in the projects.

I was beyond disappointed to see this. I have limited time to fire up my PC at home, so was looking forward to being able to finally play this game, on mobile, during travel.

Who cares if the code is open source, or pre-training weights are released? Virtually every Masters in CS student in 2024 is building this from scratch. The differentiator is the training dataset, or at worst, the weights after fine tuning the model.

Okay, but how is it a trade violation?

Which is a trade violation for WTO members.

Curious to hear more about this. Are you saying subsidized products cannot be sold on the international market? Wouldn’t creative accounting solve this, e.g., buy saying that the subsidized portion is only available domestically, which reduces demand globally, thus lowering prices?

That’s not true; the oligarchs control the present, and none of this negatively impacts them in any way. In fact, quite the opposite.

Sorry if I’m about 10 years behind Linux development, but how does Docker compare with the latest FlatPak trend in application distribution? How you have described it sounds somewhat similar, outside of also getting segmented access to data and networks.

Reddit is not a “big corporation”.

How big is big? They’re working on a 6.5 billion dollar valuation. Sure, that’s not S&P 500, but that’s not your mom and pop coffee shop.

For what country?

In the US, at least, the long term average is 3.10%, including the post-1913 Great Depression and the Oil Crisis/Great Inflation of the 1970s. From 1990-2020, the average has been 2.2%, just slightly worse than the stated goal of current US economic policy, which is to maintain long term inflation at a rate of 2%.

Meaning, 3% beats inflation significantly more than half of the time, especially since 1990.
