oh no they only have 3.5 billion users how will meta ever survive, their ability to take on debt must mean they are seen as unable to pay debts

What I’m saying is that’s actually very hard unless you run a super sterile account on purpose. Even just your writing style is a pretty good fingerprint. Your IP. Any pictures you’ve posted. It’s a rough world out there for privacy

It’s not that hard to identify people online. My account is definitely not private

It’s occasionally worth calling out that votes are also public. I think twice before hitting those buttons

I’d say there isn’t a difference here, which is why they are both on the right side in the chart. The survey probably just had that option to appease people who have the opinion “but that’s it’s not a matter of morality at all!”

Just use pacman, it’s fine, and less fiddly than manually installing a binary to your PATH

Haha yeah college in Quebec is free for Canadians so I mean, not a bad idea

There’s only one great choice and that’s CLRS (“intro to algorithms”) - if you know this book & did the exercises, you can just skip college

Well how you gonna buy a new Mac if you could get security patches for your old device

What?

It’s the roomba of the sea

Windows now Chromebooks?

Literally anywhere on Google. But it also makes sense when you think about ChromeOS & non-us aligned countries - what else are they gonna use?

HEY BUT DO YOU WANT TO USE A PASSCODE?? PASSCODE! PASSCODE! USE THE PASSCODE! -_-

• he’s not anthropic, and doesn’t have billions of dollars
• stealing from open source is not stealing, that’s the point of open source
• the argument above is that these models are allegedly trained “regardless of license” i.e. implying they are trained on non-oss code

I don’t get it, it’s just a markdown file, which is how llm specs already get written. I’m supposed to trust that the llm will “compile” it correctly every time without touching the code output? What happens when the code gets huge and complex, a “recompile” entails waiting for ages to get something similar to what others compiled? What am I missing?

Rotund borb ofc

So he’s a badass Robinhood pirate that steals code from corporations and gives it to the people?

https://ruffle.rs/ webasm OSS impl of flash. But yeah the world has changed in a less fun way. At least many of those flash game devs became game devs for pay

Because networking and public status is a big part of the job in high end silicon valley circles. You can get hired almost exclusively based on your follower count. You can land inter-business contracts and opportunities others can’t. You can leverage your reach to launch new products successfully. The jobs of executives are largely this. It’s not about having a moral stance on which social network to use, it’s about having access to the most eyes. I don’t blame them at all for doing what they do, it’s totally sensible. The question here is kind of like asking “why does MrBeast not just spend his day building his next set??” - because public status is how it all works
