The set of training words for "anti-Europe" was weird though. "Belgian Congo atrocities" is just one way of referring to that period of history ("Congo Free State" might be a better match). And then "Margaret Thatcher" - that's just the name of a UK PM from the 80s.
Then there's the fact that the Bengal famine and the Amritsar massacre just aren't spoken about as much as (for example) the Tiananmen Square massacre. I'd assume the 'flinching' around anti-Europe stuff is mostly down to a comparatively low incidence in the training data.
I've always wondered why only Linux can do 'true' containers without VMs. Is there a good blog post or something I can read about the various technical hurdles?
Personally I think the strategy of starting with luxury cars and getting cheaper was a good one. The bigger profit margin of luxury cars could be fed back into R&D to make cheaper electric cars viable.
Of course, that's the ideal situation. Tesla in 2025 is very different from what they were talking about in 2014.
That's not the case at all. People all around are constantly making art just for the sake of it. Most of it won't ever even be seen by other people. Removing the financial incentive will definitely change the landscape (for the worse, imho) but creativity for its own sake is enough for most people.
The Fellowship of the Ring, the first of Peter Jackson's LOTR movies released in 2001, made $887 million in its original theatrical run (on a $93 million budget). It would absolutely still have been made if copyright was only 20 years. And now it would be in the public domain!
Because Hunter S Thompson is a talented writer, and an LLM is a statistical method for generating text that looks like other text. An LLM isn't going to ingest all of Hemingway and write Hell's Angels.
Does the Vision Pro support SteamVR or OpenXR or anything for games? Because if not then it's not really competing with the Quest 3. I only use my Quest 3 for games, and the Vision Pro's selling point seems to be as a way of looking at really big spreadsheets. The passthrough does look impressive though.
The guy who started a video conferencing app called Loom (2 years after Zoom came out) then miraculously sold it for almost a billion dollars has no business calling anyone an "NPC".
We have a similar issue in the UK. The government has refused to provide enough resources to process the backlog of asylum applications, so people are left in limbo being housed in hotels with no legal rights to work or anything. It costs way more than just processing their applications and allowing them to work, but the government are too scared of looking 'soft on immigration'. And these hotels are often in poor and disenfranchised communities, so people understandably ask "why are they getting hotels paid for by the government when we have such a lack of social housing?". It just creates more tension and doesn't help anyone.
It's also important to separate the different kinds of immigration. Refugees are a very different category from other migrants, because we have international obligations to grant them asylum in legitimate cases. So lumping them all under the banner of 'immigration' isn't really helpful.
In the 00s there was a popular wine called "old git". It generally means someone grumpy and cantankerous, but in a playful way (otherwise you'd just call them a c***). So it makes sense for a self-effacing joke about Linus Torvalds.
