I saw a great talk by John Romero a few years ago that really underscores how in the early days of computing a few mad geniuses really moved mountains.

This is such an unbelievably bad take.

First, Musk has always been a tool, a nepo baby, and an asshole. Just because American liberals only recently noticed this doesn’t mean he used to be great.

Second, this isn’t the case of Starlink being State owned and controlled, it’s the case of the State being Starlink owned and controlled. That’s what was happening in Ukraine and what will continue to happen. If you think for a second that Musk is beholden to anything or anybody I’ve got a rusty polygon ridden death trap to sell you.

Obviously you need lots of GPUs to run large deep learning models. I don’t see how that’s a fault of the developers and researchers, it’s just a fact of this technology.

In deep learning generally open source doesn’t include actual training or inference code. Rather it means they publish the model weights and parameters (necessary to run it locally/on your own hardware) and publish academic papers explaining how the model was trained. I’m sure Stallman disagrees but from the standpoint of deep learning research DeepSeek definitely qualifies as an “open source model”

The National Rosie the Riveter museum in Richmond California (a stone’s throw from Berkeley, SF, Oakland, etc) removed an LGBT exhibit. They also weren’t told to do it but did so proactively so as not to fall afoul of Trump’s anti DEI order.

Snoop is worth ~160M he could definitely have turned down this gig

It is wind chill not actual temperature. Still cold cold cold but not as bad as it sounds in terms of your internal organs freezing or whatever.

Any confirmation of linux/windows crossplay?
