<p>>Why spend taxpayer money on enabling people to watch braindead, mindrotting zombie movies for free or cheap?<p>Might want to open their webpage at least once before you spout such uninformed opinions:
<a href="https://kinoregina.fi/" rel="nofollow">https://kinoregina.fi/</a><p>Their whole thing is showing mostly culturally important films from known and lesser known directors/actors from around the world. I honestly don't think it could provide much more cultural value than it already does.<p>I was going to write more but the more I read your post it just looks like troll post so I'll just point out that yes, they do also provide movie and arts education, which is also stated on their website.</p>

<p>>But, in all honesty, all RR numbers are estimates.<p>Sure, but I would expect you to have at least one data point or at least near it, before making any estimates for that timescale. 
I don't see many people make MRR projections based on 2 days of of sales, it's just something I've noticed with startups and ARR.</p>

<p>There is also ARR which is "annual recurring revenue" and you should know that when people use ARR they usually are just making up numbers based on their current MRR (so lying). I've seen people announce their ARR after running their business for two whole months!</p>

<p>> people I talk to who are excited about LLM development usually either care more about product development<p>This is an interesting thing I've also noticed in public hobbyist forums/discussion spaces where someone who is more interested in making a "product" clashes with people who are just there to talk about the activity itself. It's unfortunate that it happens but it will self-correct over time (like /r/programming here) and the LLM enthusiasts of Reddit will find another place to discuss ways of using them.</p>

<p>I use LLMs yet I don't care to read about them or their usage at all. I can certainly see the reason why a place called "/r/programming" wouldn't want to have discussion about agent usage either, since it's not programming, it's a different activity.</p>

<p>>We need this in europe.<p>I'm not against automated driving at all, but in my experience we actually don't have that much use for stuff like this in most (big) European cities, since almost all of them have good public transport options already. I think trams especially fill the hole of "low-friction transport in a  city" perfectly. I think having less vehicles on the road is a benefit to us all, but I understand some cities are not as tightly packed for public transport to work that well.<p>Either way, less human drivers is better.</p>
