Maybe they confused their TLAs and they mean IPO?

I agree with him. And I'll gladly donate my 128GB of DDR5 if it means OpenAI and Anthropic will be nationalized to ensure equal access to resources. Central planning will surely create the most efficient system
Me and my friend Qwen definitely wouldn't mind to buy some cheap GPUs
I just find indented paragraphs of proportional font on white background so much easier to read:(

> 9 coders

How do you do that? If I let just 2 agents work in parallel they keep stepping on each other, waiting for each other and the perf tests become super noisy (because they run them in parallel)

Even in the perfect land of the free people die from heat:

Indeed. Ukrainians should have talked to the Kurds before relying on the US

Re:A Markdown File Should Just Open on Thursday October 22, 2026 @05:20AM (#50193103)
TotalCmd's Lister can handle it. By default you just get text and hex viewer, but you can install plugins (like for markdown) and then it renders rich text by default but you can switch to plain text (or hex) by pressing 1 or 3. One day I'll move away from Windows and I'll have to find a replacement :(

Re:The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @06:20AM (#50178516)
CO2 emissions trade for about 50$/t. CO2 capture costs 500$/t. So, both are useless - it costs 10 times more to get the carbon out, why are we selling them so cheap, it costs 10 times more to get the carbon out compared to not emitting it, it will never be economical.

You have over ear headphones in your pocket? And a set of stereo speakers?
On the other hand imagine how popular would a real nationalist far right party be that would say "fight Russia"
Notice that Senate wasn't the only governing party in ancient Rome. Also "old" is relative. It meant "too old to serve in military", with Sulla's reforms the minimum age was 31 and even before that most influential senators were 40-50.

For emperors: out of 80 only 14 were over 65. 2 resigned/died at 66, 1 at 67, 2 ruled only few months, so really 9 out of 80. Rome is not the place to look for old rulers

Did they just make GEX131 more expensive and placed this at its old price point?

I think it's rather this millenium's "just check the domain really carefully". You can't choose a weak TOTP, write it on a post it or share TOTPs on multiple websites. The main (only?) failure mode is that you type it in an attacker-controlled input.

Conversely, American individuals are also not sovereign so when they come to a sovereign land where they are sought (by the state or its partners through treaties) for crimes, they are subject to the the state's laws and treaties.
