  His crypto scheme was already raising eyebrows. When OpenAI board attempted a coup and he clawed back to his seat, it seemed like he had gained complete control over the place.

  Opening the command prompt in windows is considered ‘hacking’ these days. Using Ubuntu is a big leap.

  It will major corporate and legislative backing to even attempt one. For many end users the desktop pc, if they ever have one, is yet another techie stuff they don’t want to bother themselves with. You don’t simply get them to install a new program, let alone an entirely new operating system. Some do make the leap, however.

  It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

  Some sort of reputation system with incentives to avoid low effort posts or spam perhaps?

  Speaking of email, spam becomes an inevitable problem. Anyone in theory can spin up a federated bot instance to spam the hell out of everyone.

  I get depressed whenever I read about those salaries. I get paid the bare minimum to pay the bills. I will never have the life those people have - not that I care about luxury, but simply not having to worry about basic necessities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically in the case of Japanese language, the current orthography highly depends on the use of kanji to remove ambiguities from a purely phonetic notation in either kana system.

  As a side note, Korean language also used to be written with hanja (Chinese characters) mixed in with hangul (native phonetic alphabet). The shift from mixed hangul-hanja notation to pure hangul was gradual and the major contribution that made it possible was the modernized orthography rules that allows visual differentiation of homophones when written down while adding some complexity. It’s not perfect, but it works.

  So, while many argue that kanji is essential to Japanese or hanja needs to be reintroduced in Korean for examples cited, I think the definitive reason is that the japanese speakers themselves doesn’t feel the overwhelming need to switch right now. If they chose to introduce a purely kana orthography and had enough funding and political will, that’s how they will roll.

  It really grinds my gears. Why does my bank insist on installing an app to approve transactions, and why does that app have a huge background video playing every time i open it? It really should consist of an MFA code generator.

  And text only browsers too.

  I’m interested. So you rent a cluster to run an instance instead of self hosting?

  Is support for AMD cars better these days? Last time I checked it involved checking ROCM compatibility because CUDA needs nvidia cards exclusively.

  Please send help. SQL queries are a spaghetti mess and all the original devs are probably gone or dead.
