Not enough. They tried to make them separated their Office software business from the OS business, but failed sadly. Not to mentioned all the problems with them making unsupportable office files formats.

That implies creating market for data, attaching speculative value to it and et cetera, and stinks of web3 bullshit.

Well it’s capitalism. End goal of all actors in this economic system is not public good, it’s profit.

But will that actually be against ToS or copyright? Many people tend to say that copilot learning from OSS doesn’t infringe any copyright and is no different from a person just learning from someone else’s work. So how is it different if copilot is learning from private repositories? Or eg from leaked source code?

They say they don’t

Github also has access to private repositories.

When you’re building housing to make profit, you’re not doing it for public good, you’re doing it to extract profits.

And housing problem exists in places other than USA, with wildly different policies.

Kids may be socially isolated if they’re not present online.

There is a difference between a person learning and a commercial product learning from someone else’s work, probably ignoring all the licenses.

This won’t happen under current state of capitalistic systems. No-one will fund this for sole purpose of public good.

I’m not talking only about this specific tunnel. Norway spends quite a number of their petro dollars to make tunnels in the middle of nowhere to another middle id nowhere.

Petrostate mega projects.

I would expect that a lot of people didn’t click on that article because of clickbaity buzzfeed-style name.

Well, maybe you don’t bribe directly by handing money over to an LEO. But I would say there is still tons of corruption that is based on influence, soft skills, knowing right people, donations to specific charities/political parties.

Were we reading the same letter? It’s a sweet and innocent letter, no fear to be seen, not in English translation, nor in original Russian.

It seems that you superimpose your own beliefs on everything, twist the meanings so it would fit in your world view.

What he means, that accidents happen. Same accidents that took so many American astronauts’ lives with a very sophisticated hardware, not something done first time in the history.

It’s bizarre how you invent stuff between the lines to support some bias.

It’s not just a political organisation, it’s a political movement that completely reorganised and changed Russian society since 1917. One may argue, that it’s the reason behind accelerated economic and scientific development that lead to space exploration.

What whitewashing?

Inside “democratic” countries, they are just bribing via legal means - see lobbying.

That is factually true, because github allows non-free and/or proprietary licenses.

Are you actually citing all the wars Russia was involved in since IX century? I don’t even know where to start with this, but maybe consider that “Russia” is not some thousand year old unchanging state, it has been morphing and changing drastically. Even reasoning about USSR and modern Russia as equivalent entities is just plain wrong - different economies, different basis, different system of government, ownership and decision making, vastly different territories even. So I would stick comparing modern states between each other, not some small feudal entities from IX century

My point was, that saying “historical event X is somehow similar to ongoing event Y, thus we can reason and predict outcomes of Y based on X” is a false methodology, appealing, but false.

I think the source you’re linking is very biased, as well as your claims are very wild and require thorough proofs.

Although it should be said, thay holodomor’s nature is still disputed by historians. Some people, especially politically or nationally biased, claim that that was deliberate genocide of specifically Ukrainians. While it serves specific purpose as a narrative, more historians agree that a) famine affected not only Ukrainians, but all people living in a wide region, including not only what’s considered to be Ukraine today, but millions of other, b) there are no direct evidences supporting the genocide claim, no evidence supporting any deliberation. Much more probable explanation is combination of poor organisation of food collection from the villages and bad weather conditions for multiple seasons (that region had regular famines and dry seasons in the past, before USSR too, and it only stopped after 40s, when various actions were taken to improve agricultural stability there).

I don’t know, I never kept one. I believe there are some bootloaders that allow that.

At least the restore sector is kept, and if you decide to roll back/sell, you can restore macOS.

Although I used it for years, and also having about 14 years of GNU/Linux experience, I was very comfortable.

Typical grifter take, using analogies, which are always a bad framework to analyse and predict events and trends based on the history. A few years ago others grifters were saying the same about blockchain and NFTs, a year ago same thing about metaverse/decentraland.

On my MacBook Pro 2015 touchpad works very good with Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

My favourite laptop of all time is Macbook Pro mid-2015, with Debian GNU/Linux. It works flawlessly and almost out of box, SSD can still be easily replaced, and the screen is amazing.

Maybe AI bros could explain why computer vision still sucks so much?
