more than creepy, they're deeply inauthentic.

It's very hard to imagine this being a better photo than one taken on a modern phone. Also, I really, really hope you take them off when using the shared bathrooms at such an event…

That was indeed my intent. Pre-IPO, SpaceX already had _some_ cash in hand, and was burning >4b per quarter IIRC; so presumably _some_ runway. That said, they also got the anthropi…

What does it mean to work on a port of redox on macos? The ability to compile it / build a disk image on macOs?

Do you have any #s on how old they were at decomm time? There's some suspicion that part of the AI bubble is companies playing games with depreciation, eg assuming that H100/H200s …

That's an interesting approach. I'm concerned about the use of LibreOffice as your source of truth. Would it be possible to swap out LibreOffice for actual MS Word in this workflow…
