You could face a 15-year prison sentence for calling for peace on social media, or you could be forcibly conscripted.

Furthermore, rallies are equally persecuted. All rallies are outlawed due to the COVID restrictions, and these restrictions have never been lifted.

So far, all the West has done is target ordinary, poor Russians instead of oligarchs and the Tsar himself.

Their quality of life has plummeted, but would you risk your life to speak out against this?

Westerners are only brave in the comments. Come to Russia and show us how it's done. A country where everyone with power or guns serves the Tsar almost directly. Including the courts, the police and the army.

You don't f*cking understand what has happened to the country. It's become a dictatorship.

The reality is:

    * Different brain regions have different functions: ancient knowledge.
    * Different regions contain distinct cell types and molecular programs: also well established.
    * Anterior and posterior brain structures may trace back to fundamentally separate progenitor lineages that were independently specified very early in evolution and development: that's the interesting new result.

193.6x Faster, 444.6x Cheaper (than Claude Fable 5.1?)

No idea how it measures against frontier LLMs.

OpenAI already has a model that is at the very least twice as smart as Astra.

Oh god.

They don't even allow me to download my data.

How is it better?

If network egress fails and logs are pushed in real time over a connection with no local backing, you face an ugly tradeoff: either drop log data silently (loss of visibility during the very network partition you need to debug) or apply backpressure to services (potentially hanging applications when logging buffers saturate).

ChatGPT 6 must be deep in the pipeline and will be released within the next few months. Maybe that's why this release is versioned 5.6, not 6.0.

The article is not about "control" but usability and applicability to the average Joe.

> You will never get that with Microsoft and Apple.

And 99.99% people don't need that. What they need is being able to run their favorite applications - the reason why Linux sucks.

> The fact that everything I want works well and the UI/UX is decades ahead is just a bonus.

Anecdotal evidence and IMO. Nothing new.

The article has been maintained since 2009 actually.

What AI could write it 17 years ago? Please enlighten me.

What's "bad takes"?

This article is well researched and I can vouch for every sentence in there.

Been running Linux exclusively for close to three decades now.

> I have plenty of 3rd party applications that weren't provided as part of my distro, didn't require recompiling, and have worked fine over generations of Linux.

Ah, exceptions once again. So dear to the heart of a Linux fan.

> I've also had Android games purchased as part of a Humble Bundle that now don't run on modern Android, so the logic is completely backwards.

How is this relevant at all?

> I didn't get much further than the second paragraph before I just walked away. It was painful reading.

I thought so. "Didn't read but object"

Sorry, Anthropic, but AGI must belong to all of humanity, not just to you.
