If not then I suspect a Tesla will turn out to be quite surprisingly forgetful about what it was up to in a road traffic collision.

RTC is a UK term that took over from RTA (road traffic accident) - it describes what happened rather than heading off into the weeds as to cause.

Espresso is so named because you "express" the brew from the beans and you do that with water because water is pretty neutral in flavour, is not poisonous and has quite a few other properties that we have evolved to exploit or live with.

Milk is a weird liquid associated with mammals nursing infants. We humans have evolved to be somewhat lactose tolerant post infancy which is rare in animalia (1)

Given that we are using the Italian word - espresso - then let's use their definition. If you add milk then you have a latte or a cappuccino or an americano con latte, a flat white or whatever.

Real weirdos try to milk oats. I've tried but I can't find their teats.

I too can say it and I'm very English...ish. LlanPG is a tourist attraction and a great example of an amateur advertising idea smashing it!

Hippopotamus does mean river horse and I was caught out by that (note the o instead of a in ...poto...). I think that word is really a joke - lol - a bit like floccinausilihilipilification, which I wont bother looking up the speling 4.

I managed a paltry 90/100. Some of those words require a classical education and probably a British one at that. I studied Latin at two posh schools and have O level English Language and Literature (that's two qualis at age 16).

I'm pretty well read and know exactly who Sandi and Stephen are. Ironically Sandi is Danish but notably erudite (that turned up for me) and navigates her way around English with remarkable aplomb.

Well before we get too misty eyed: "inexpensive" needs looking at "for inexpensive interactive computing".

I'm not old (55) enough to have really got to grips with a PDP11. I do still own (yes: present tense) a C64 from 1986. The C64 was bought by my dad via the NAAFI in West Germany so I have no idea what it costed. Let's wind forward a bit:

I had a 80286 based PC in 1987ish with 1MB of RAM, 20MB RLL hard disc. The graphics card (ISA) had a whopping 512 bytes of RAM. That thing costed about £1200. I added a 80287 later at about £120 so I could run a pirated copy of AutoCAD.

In 1990ish I had a 80486 with 4Mb RAM and 40MB HD - that costed something like £1600.

Nowadays £1600 will buy quite a decent laptop and 35 years of inflation.

Before specifying fibre everywhere I suggest you note that a CAT 6 cable can manage 10G and PoE++. Its a lot more resilient to breakage too, especially outside the data centre.

If you really want to blow some cash there is CAT6A, which is probably not indicated unless you want cable lengths of more than say 50m.

HN is a forum and as far as I am aware, anecdata is allowed here. You might disagree with me and my experience and that is fine too but please don't denigrate me.

I know plenty of people who will put the letters A and I together and get rather confused about what on earth is going on but very few of those would mention any co apart from Microsoft, Google, Facebook or errm Twitter.

No one has a bloody clue about all this stuff apart from us lot and we have no real idea about it either!

Oooh tulips!

Ohhh no it isn't! (Ohh yes it is) etc

"as the general public is far more aware of OpenAI than Anthropic"

I run LLMs on my own gear with llama.cpp (compiled from source) and I could not tell you anything about either company except they fiddle with AI stuff and that (I don't actually care). I glaze over on news about both organisations in equal measure on mention.

I think you'll find that the general public would not be able to name either company without being asked to pronounce their name from it being written down.

Go out for a walk. Wherever you live, there will be a destination or an environment that will enrich your life just by visiting it. Go and take a look at it or experience it and then go back to worrying about tokens.

Yes, there are security issues but quite a few are not ffmpeg itself related - the input is pretty shabby or at least not exactly easy to deal with!

Obviously, they could do with some assistance and I'm sure you and I will both dive in with equal zeal.
