  Elon’s Death

  For a brief moment, I was so excited… Rip deer.

  Oh my… I though the big companies had a mutual understanding that throwing shit at each other is a huge no-no. There’s enough shit to drown them all in it time and again, so this should be hilarious to watch unfold.

  I didn’t say it would be easy, but anything TSMC currently produces would likely find a new buyer even with no US customers, so in the short run the loser would not be TSMC. In the long run, it’s pointless to speculate, since US would probably try to level Taiwan down rather than let China have the semiconductor sector to itself… Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, though.

  At least they are consistent, so I guess that’s something…

  Not really. China would just buy it all if given the chance and the US companies would be fucked, since TSMC is practically a monopoly within its field at the moment.

  This reads like a desperate attempt at proving to investors that their “AI” is useful for handling factual information, with a hint of plain old corporate bribery to avoid further lawsuits from publishers. Grifters gonna grift, and all that.

  And do some more stock buybacks and raise dividends, of course.

  Careful now, you’ll open the door for fElon Musk 2028. We don’t want that, do we?

  Perhaps LLMs can be used to gain some working vocabulary in a subject you aren’t familiar with. I’d say anything more than that is a gamble, since there’s no guarantee that hallucinations have not taken place. Remember, that to spot incorrect info, you need to already be well acquainted with the matter at hand, which is at the polar opposite of just starting to learn the basics.

  You do realize that a very thorough manual is but a man bash away? Perhaps it’s not the most accessible source available, but it makes up for that in completeness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - WinampDesktop/winamp: Iconic media player⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly, I’m baffled to see such negativity here and in the github comments.

  Sure, winamp could have handled this better and just referred to the release as “source available” instead of “open source”. Then again, calling it “open source” is not that far fetched and is likely only going to annoy those who want to find fault in any case.

  It’s almost like “open source” has become a religion unto itself, with fanatic zealots defining what is and what isn’t acceptable - I kindly ask you to stop that bullshit, we have enough of these already.

  Having source available is infinitely better than not having it, so let’s keep that in mind. Obviously, this doesn’t mean that people cannot give constructive criticism on how to improve the situation, but most of the shit on display here make my eyes roll hard enough to cause strain: github.com/WinampDesktop/winamp/issues/6
