This. It's like people collectively forgot about the "misgendering worse than thermonuclear war, founding fathers were black" stuff.

Always go for Grok first for political questions. Other models have such a bad history of being so crudely aligment-hacked, I'd feel like a fool trying to get an impartial answer out of them on some political figure for example.

How is changing history and making a a group of objectively white people black "removing bias" ˋ? What it is is literally bias. Like thinking Pi could be 4. Removing bias ends with truth, not these crazy wonky results.

What a crazy thing to say explicitly about the model that _avoids_ that kind of stuff. Did we already collectively forget about the ChatGPT "misgendering is worse than thermonuclear war" case, or Gemini picturing the Founding Fathers as black?

Anything political, I always go to Grok first. It's the only one that has bled for not just trying to play it super safe with political correctness, but trying to be impartial.

Criminal lack of a demo video in the github

Very nice! Lack of pathfinding hardly made itself visible, in intense combat I at first assumed they did have some kind of pathfinding

Short Leash is how I do most of the stuff that matters with AI. If I don't, I quickly lose motivation.

The article link appropriately disqualifies itself of not being partisan by the fact of the article explicitly having links to share it on multiple semi-dead platforms but not X. X, which they left with arguments about "reach" which don't pass half a smell test.

Hope EFF digs itself out of the mud it finds itself in today in the future.

My first and hopefully only clash with the global ignore file was debugging why a project worked differently between machines. There was a global ignore on the machine I was working on (that I didn't place) that "smartly" tried to exclude "irrelevant" code / project files regardless of project.

I see version control somewhat similarly as I see traffic laws. Sure, they could work in entirely different ways, Germans like their autobahns, but breaks to the norm in an otherwise planar field are rarely arguable for.

Took them long enough to add it to the web app too. Bit disappointing how lazy the implementation is though, you never fall out of the sky even with throttle at 0%. Making the most basic flight physics even ignoring aerodynamics really isn't that hard

Failed? When? It's not doing too bad last I checked. While the competition flounders.

Robotaxi is the next great growth thing. After that, it's Optimus.

They shut down production of S & X to make more capability for cars that they want to focus on and which sell way more, AND Cybercab.

Tesla grows in large steps. Next big step is Robotaxis, which is well on its way. After that, robots, for which they have the best real-world AI platform for.

You could say Tesla is a speculation stock as well when they had released the Roadster. Tesla shorters always lose.

You sound like someone really coping and trying to make it not aggressive. One button would not be, albeit maybe a bit out of place as it's still a standard. Two buttons, is simply aggressive. More aggressive than you screaming full caps even .

Wasn't edited. 2 large download buttons on a page that barely scrolls is as aggressive as it gets. What, you'd only consider 5 buttons aggressive?

Feels a bit out of place that the website tries to aggressively make me download Firefox, with multiple links on the site for it. Like it's the 2000's again and I'd need ActiveX or something. But it's to use a standard.

Sure, the standard is cool, have used it to flash Meshtastic to some LoRa boards, before advancing to use VS Code + ESP-IDF to flash in my own LoRa code.

FYI, most meals that are DISTRibuted through different convenient means are "prepared".

If I didn't want a distro, I'd just go with something like Buildroot, or even more elementary. Yes, this is one of the projects I also have in mind to understand better and with the cross-supporting goal of reducing boot time of a machine that'll eventually run my game engine, with the reference of running said game engine on a n MCU.

But that's not what I want from desktop Linux of a pedigree that'd have potential of replacing my daily driver requirements, which are actually quite difficult to match, but I do have hope.

Well, this "not distro" software that takes over your whole computer when you boot the ISO and install it has been the greatest out-of-the box Linux experience for me, and has introduced me to the best new way of using an operating system since I first installed a Linux distro ~20 years ago.

And yes I did actually end up going thru archinstaller first as the other route failed, but turned out it was archinstall failing to start with, failing to clear the existing Chrome OS partitions even after selecting the disk (full disk!) properly. I managed to install it on a N23 Chromebook I got for 30€, with just a 32GB SSD on it. Now I am on the edge of making my work laptop dual boot it, so I can run some heavier software on it. Haven't used as much Desktop Linux in the previous 15 years as I have the previous month.

It's supposed to be opinionated to start with. It absolutely is better that way. Probably one of the easiest to mod too, changed my battery indicator to show current wattage with an one-line change.

As it says - Chef's choice. I want my food to be edible to start with when I'm hungry.

Better to always watch from the official source, the only one that is in 4k too AFAIK

Curious! Got a timecode?

I wonder if the hot separation was supposed to be that hot. Going at mach 5 and doing a quick U turn while there was some weird orange color on the side of the Super Heavy, then (possibly?) losing most engines from it seemed extra chaotic
