BenJ had coauthor credit on it.

QC has stronger protections than neighboring ON does, actually. If the employee has more than 2 years of service they simply cannot be dismissed without just cause. Even under 2 years there are a bunch of protections, but at 2+ it gets harder.

100%. They’ve announced the plans for SpaceX to have an IPO, this will basically eliminate all of his losses even if they just shut down xAI immediately following acquisition (which they won’t do just yet, because people are still bag holding AI investments.)
This guy might be a dumb fuck, but he’s the smartest dumb fuck in the billionaire game.

Edit: Some of his capital investors might have told him that they want out of xAI because they see where the wind is blowing. This gets them out with profit if they pull it off fast enough.
This (SpaceX IPO) is going to be a massive rug pull, for the 2nd round of public traders and I bet that he’s got structure in place to ensure that even after selling billions of dollars of shares he still holds 51% or some shit, or that his annual compensation is $0+1% of the company.
10 years ago I would have bought into a SpaceX IPO. Not today.

He was attached to Ubi’s office Montreal, QC, Canada.
If there isn’t anything more than what is mentioned in the article, it’s highly that the CDPDJ would rule against Ubi if the dismissal is challenged; this would likely be protected as Freedom of Expression, as nothing negative was said about Ubi besides the implication that Ubi thought that their employees wouldn’t see their motives.

Did you think that the Gestapo would have permitted random people to take their pictures and run away?
The ability to spread images and video online nearly instantly has changed the dynamics somewhat.

The IoT edition of Windows 11 runs in 4GB ram and performs ok. I don’t recommend more ram, I recommend either Linux or LTSC IoT.

I’m more concerned about ‘AI’ telling people incorrect information - and that information being further indexed and presented as fact elsewhere.

It’s a compounding problem

Funny how we’ve forgotten already the rage and backlash from users when it was revealed you could never completely disable telemetry in windows 10.
Now the general attitude is ‘well, it’s not as bad as 11.’
For the better part of a decade I used windows only for gaming, and now I’ve dropped it for that too.
I’m not sure why some people still refuse to consider using an alternative to windows these days.

Was your USR a courier or sportster? In my experience the couriers had better success connecting and operating at 48000+bps

Has been for a very long time. I quit watching his video after I saw him post a thing that was going on and on about the superiority of the product in his left hand over the right, and how much faster it was and blah blah blah.
Both products were bandwidth limited by the PCI bus and there was no advantage to the expensive one he was hawking.

Eg., Phil Fish of FEZ and Indy game: the movie fame is another who seems unable to ignore negative feedback and massively overreacts to it.

Isn’t he Canadian? But even then, French Canadian, the type most hated by Republicans?

You joke but this is happening to an Airline Callcenter I used to provide contracting services for. It’s being used as a scapegoat for bad decisions made at the C level several years ago.

You know they’re dockable, like a laptop, right?

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.

My neighbor throws rocks at my house because he wants me to move my fence and give him an extra 6" of backyard. I just ignore him and nothing bad has happened beyond needing to replace my bathroom window twice.

Ignore or give them what they want has worked well for me.

This looks very cool, but I feel like its failure modes would be brutal. I’ve seen some failed prints turn into hairy balls of melted hate, but upside down…I feel like its begging to have a print adhesion failure just break everything.

Agreed… although I would go a step further and say distributing the LLM model or the results of use (even if done without cost) is not fair use, as the training materials weren’t licensed.

Because only rich Ukranians could afford them, and the rich ones fled Ukraine when the war kicked up.

And MIPS too. NT 3.1, 3.5, 4.0 all saw MIPS, Alpha, and x86 releases.

Not quite. Graphene provides ‘legacy extended support’ which means they’ll patch any vulnerabilities they become aware of for the OS, but because they don’t have baseband source they won’t be able to address any vulnerabilities in the baseband unless Google releases an update.

The most recent release of grapheneos for 4a is less than a week old.
