$20B is like pocket money at the scale the whole industry is moving.

A laptop with a 226v/256v cost around the same than the "cheap" Mac Neo and can play most games (old games native/new games with AI scaling)

I said that still requires skill, just not as much.

Do papers need a "non-conflict of interest" disclosure nowadays to not be considered just ads?

I kinda disagree. High risk environments just means that they will have to have a human-in-the-loop for a longer time which drastically reduce the skill required for such human (which is still requires high skill just not stupidly high).

A swarm of millions of devices (that can be solar powered) could be more resilient than the "few" nodes that the "internet" architecture has. I guess that is the motivation, in theory.

Internet is not neutral, and hasn't been for too long, many providers offering free Whatsapp or cases like LaLiga.

Interesting... didn't know this part of Linux history. I remember complaining about pulseaudio crashing a lot though ha. Thanks for sharing it.

As a Linux normie, I've never understood why systemd is/was so much opinioned about.

I have yet to see someone recommending Mistral for anything tbh.

They were CPU killers but man those Flash websites were gorgeous (talking mostly about MU Online "private" servers)

Only works if the Docker socket is mounted which is pretty stupid thing to do and also not something you would do in a "frontend" container. Essentially is like having a password-less ssh

If anything I am glad a bit of shift to local llm's. Their gemma4 is pretty powerful for such small model so I guess that's what they are delivering.

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.
