So Meta is not releasing open source models anymore?

> a generation of women were brainwashed to see it as a form of oppression

Is that really the biggest reason why people are having less kids? Or is it more the idea that these days you two good incomes live in a world with a rising cost of living? Most women I know either have or want kids. And it's really the financial situation that influences these decisions the most.

Maybe I don't know enough technical details about these CPU architectures or IP agreements, but I don't see why IBM couldn't have done what Arm did but with PowerPC.

PowerPC doesn't have the organic ecosystem that ARM has.

Not now. But my question is, what was stopping IBM from doing what Arm did? We are where we are now and it's too late. But as far as I can see, there was nothing too special about Arm as compared to PowerPC back then, on a technical level.

There's a lot of AI slop on YouTube unfortunately. But with YT Premium (or adblockers) I can't think of a better platform currently for finding distraction free content focused on your interests.

I'm willing to wait a while for pages to load if it's an effective means of taking back the web from the bots.

That's a tortoise, not a turtle.

VitruvianOS has the clothes of BeOS, which is nice and refreshing.

But Haiku has the soul.

Current FPGAs would have terrible performance. We need some new architecture combining ASIC LLM perf and sparse reconfiguration support maybe.

It doesn't have to be that way though. There's a bigger scam in the tech industry in general that says the path we're on is the only path we can be on.

More software doesn't have to mean less value for the customer. More software doesn't have to mean your tools and devices are spyware machines. That's just the lie we've been told.

Exactly! There's vastly more software available for Linux than there is for Windows and the Linux experience is vastly superior. It's a real-world example of "more software == better".

> It doesn't have to be that way though

I see this being repeated for years, yet it is that way. And it is because technical possibilities doesn't matter.

Bought out, bought in. Is the distinction important?

mips_avatar is describing neither.
