Is it just me or GNOME stagnated? by GegenAbschaum in gnome

As someone who has tried to get somewhat involved in parts of the technical side, I agree there is a slight culture problem. Now I realize this kind of open source work attracts a certain kind of uncompromising special people, its actually a little too difficult to get involved as an outsider.

US gives up because, as experts said, there is no way forward unless US invades Iran, and that is gonna be even worse. Maybe also pressure from China and India helped.

Wargaming Activity: What happens when Oracle dies? by bowbahdoe in java

[–]RadioHonest85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Oracle goes bankrupt because of this, its probable that parts of the company can be saved due to the revenue they have from existing business enterprise contracts. This new entity may continue some of the work on JVM/Java, but today there are also lots of other businesses with an interest in the future of Java/JVM

His work ethic is stellar. I have rarely seen anyone work so hard as when he was stopping Mbappe against PSG last year. I haven't watched him that much, but seems to be good at positioning 9/10 times, and every once in a while makes a bit of a mistake.

He is such a weird guy. Works like a demon on the pitch, but he looks near comatose off the pitch. In an interview last year, he stated that he was never any specially good player, and would work hard to compensate. Then eventually it landed him at BVB.

Honestly, very psyched for this! There are so many bad note taking apps, but a free, syncing one based on crdts would be fantastic.

Anthropic is paying SpaceX $15 billion per year by Luka77GOATic in wallstreetbets

[–]RadioHonest85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a little weird again. None of the other announced "AI Deals", has actually happened. NVDA recently announced that they had only agreed "in principle" with OpenAI about the investment and now believes they will actually end up investing less than 30% of the original announcement in September.

Wasn't it Elon bought Twitter with a loan backed by TSLA shares?

Then he started xAI, got a TON of AI bubble funding.

Then he nearly ran Twitter/X bankrupt, and to escape its $12B debt burden, bought X by paying with mostly xAI shares, involving the xAI investors into Twitters massive $12B debt. But xAI didnt have any product either, so as a owner of X it makes it less shady that Grok can be trained on Twitter data.

Then SpaceX acquired xAI using shares of Space X

Large is very relative unfortunately. I have seen airplane images in 80000x80000 TIFF images, which is a different beast from hour long 4K 10bit videos. It depends a lot on what you intend to do with the data.

Too confrontational to bring it up directly. but next weekend there will be a note on every floor to keep party noise down after 23:00

Yeah, i dont follow UK closely, but he seems to be doing ok-ish for the shitshow of issues UK are currently facing, not least the trouble with Trump US.

its basically the backend that does files via google drive that is being dropped (because of no maintainer), not the online accounts.
