By "security guarantees" I think they meant more control over Ukraine. The Russians are still butthurt over the fact that the Ukrainians won the independence over russian influence.
Isn't it better, though? Why iterate over crappy TV shows that have no substance and bury the IP under a huge pile of garbage? At least have the courtesy and let it die with dignity.
"The road from legitimate suspicion to rampant paranoia is very much shorter than we think."
I have to agree with the author of this essay, it is one of the best episodes of TNG. Why can't we make smart tv shows like this? Why is the new Star Trek so poorly handled?

I found this podcast 10 months later, but it's so refreshing to find other sane people in this fucked version of reality:

Microslop' CEO, Slopya Nadella, isn't happy for calling their products "slop". It's like someone defecates, produces a turd and they expect everyone else to call it a treasure. No, Slopya! A turd is still a turd.

Man, Idiocrcacy is really a documentary and not a movie. Ain't it? How did we manage to get to this point with all this prosperity? Are they really trying to brainwash us into thinking that LLMs are really intelligent?

You forgot to mention the environmental impact. These people don't give a shit about any of those things. AI will not take our jobs but also the means to survive. Them pushing for deregulation alone should worry you.
It would be also useful for some developers to refresh their linear algebra studies. They might actually learn that LLMs are not magic, just statistics and vectors. People still think that these LLM vendors need GPUs for their models to "think".
I find it funny how Microsoft has so many UI libraries but they are all somehow lacking. I've switched from Winforms to WPF long time ago but now I find myself using Avalonia because Microsoft isn't capable of solving simple issues.
As a romanian I can confirm that our government is full of cowards and some of them even support Russia.
Excellent analysis. Thank you for sharing.

Everyone does. It's like a good part of music died after their disband.
I wish you good luck in your journey of being just another data mining program in the pile of shit that is most browsers today.
@mozilla.org, I just want to say that I've been a Firefox user for almost 20 years, since 2005. I supported this browser for some idiotic principles called privacy and freedom. Since you no longer uphold those two, I'm afraid I have to look for another browser.
James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.
SteamOS 3.6.22 has been pushed to the Beta channel to address an issue with missing pre-compiled shaders.
Excellent analysis!
Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart.
Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.
You can circumvent those hardware requirements for Windows 11 using an imaging utility such as Rufus.
So they didn't actually discontinued, the devs just gave up.
No wonder they have so many discontinued products. I think it might be actually hell to work on one of their codebases.
Just watched the entire Zelenskyy interview for Lex Fridman Podcast. With all due respect, Lex Fridman is either a fucking moron or he really likes to kiss Elon's and Donald's tushies. While Zelenskyy had correct and informed answers, Friedman kept on painting those fucking idiots as great patriots.
That's true but when you have to work with C libraries, when performance is critical or work with low level stuff, you gotta take the safeguards off. Even Haskell, well known for not allowing direct memory access, has extensions for these kinds of scenarios. I may be wrong, though.
Let's take C# as an example. Even though that language has a bunch of layers of abstraction, you can use the unsafe keyword to allow pointer operations. You can then use a fixed statement to pin an object in memory and prevent the garbage collector from relocating it.
