    New reddit also has blocking pop-ups after a while if you are not logged in since recently.

    You forgot the last part about now no one having money anymore to buy the companies products, so you go into a deflationary spiral. To solve that you'd want to increase wages by e.…

    Germany has such a supply chain for some sectors (e.g. cars, chemicals). The question is do we want to protect it to some extent or let the free market do its thing?

    Coding just often has a fast feedback loop. If you can't do it people are going to notice pretty fast. You can fail as an architect or prod management for a long time before people…

    Given it is being trained on your project, the latter isn't that surprising. For the former, you could use LLMs yourself for the probabilistic matching as alternative method? Proba…

    I don't think it is much of a problem that dabblers get into Internet arguments about things they are not experts in. After all the easiest way to get a correct answer/learn someth…

    Note that this is of "sales" not of profit. So for OpenAI this would be 1.5$ billion . ( based on recent PR spin sales number)

    No? 1) Someone re-licenses GCC under a non-GPL license. 2) EFF sues them, to stop the behaviour 3) Court tells EFF that they have no standing to sue because LLM generated content h…

    I would claim the main cause why it is more complicated is having VAT and KYC/AML requirements. Transactions can be much easier if you ignore the VAT requirement.

    We will up the defence spending until Trump doesn't have the "card" of removing Ukraine support anymore. Then having a digital services tax starts looking like free money with few …

    And railways are now mostly state-funded infrastructure. Seems plausible to me that the same will happen with LLMs.

    And Amazon went up 600000% from IPO. If SpaceX goes up by that amount it's worth like 60 times total world market cap.

    At some point I thought I would be clever and just backup the file while no transaction is active (or manual WAL checkpointing and no WAL checkpointing active). Ran into 2.2. https…

    I think the last sentence has a word missing or something, because it contradicts the previous argument a bit.

    Since it is a first-past the post system it would have been best if the other parties coordinated to only let the best party compete. Having Count Binface as the only other candida…

    Same as Russia, yeah. But Reliance Jio seems to have announced something. Don't know if it'll actually happen.

    And for that reason the EU, India, China and Russia will build their own Starlink alternatives. To offset costs they'll then provide it for civilian use, competing with Starlink in…

    The main blocker for this was that Trump extended this to the military domain. I.e., tax US hyperscalers and Ukraine does not get US weapons/information anymore. Becoming independe…

    The whole semi manufacturing(/electronics) supply chain moved to Asia in the 1980s. E.g. Siemens tried to compete but lost back then in the manufacturing part.

    So having foreign currency in stable coins is allowed in South Africa?

    The profit created from issuing currency is called seigniorage. It is madness letting private companies capture this.

    Wouldn't one be able to tell from basic research if a project is legit or not. E.g. looking how the developer handles support? If no HM does take OSS work into account, one other r…
