I hate that I need to create an Apple account (with email and phone verification) just to be able download the sdk to use MacOS APIs. To make things worse I tried for like one hour to create an account and couldn't because for some reason I was no receiving the verification email.

> have to release free open source models because they distill from OpenAI and Anthropic

They dont really have to though, they just need to be good enough and cheaper (even if distilled). That being said, it is true they are gaining a lot of visibility (specially Qwen) because of being open-source(weight).

Hardware-wise they seem they will catch-up in 3-5 years (Nvidia is kind of irrelevant, what matters is the node).

You could argue that the only reason we have good open-weight models is because companies are trying to undermine the big dogs, and they are spending millions to make sure they dont get too far ahead. If the bubble pops then there wont be incentive to keep doing it.

Will they? Just because you developed them that doesn't guarantee they will stay with you. It's been always the same issue tbh, but big companies could accept the risk because they pay the most competitive salaries anyways.

does any distro uses clang? I thought all linux kernels were compiled using gcc.

I think Zig is trying to get rid of it as well, much harder to debug iirc.

I wish we had something like "source hash" available in all repositories.

I played GTA III at like 14-16 fps. After a while you brain get used to it and feels a like a smooth experience. Maybe we have frame generation integrated in our brains? or just happens when we are kids? idk.

Was the torrent protocol considered at some point? Always surprised how little presence has in the industry considering how good the technology is.

My theory: AI is making companies move faster or be left behind. Too many managers usually means bigger red tape.

The fact they allow this sh*t even when it is widely know that is happening and being abused, makes the government also responsible because inaction.

would it possible to show to alert only when there are potentials threats instead of every time a folder is open? Like showing a big red alert when opening a folder for the first time with a ".vscode" folder in it?
