Is this what distros are now? Just a customized theme for fedora with some pre-installed apps? What happened?

She reminds me of the old people managing their crumbling shops in Japan that are popular on youtube. Being still able to work is nice, as long as you are not forced to just to survive.

The fact that it's a fragile kleptocracy basically reduce to 0 any possibility of a normal future. Puppet state at best, if someone is willing to take them. I expect they already planned what to do with the returning soldiers, not that they will like it or accept gracefully what's in store for them.

China will buy Siberia. No shots fired.

Or simply take it over. No shots fired.

I would not be surprised.

Invade with what? Refugees running away from a poor and failing country? Man...

Russia is neither poor nor failing, and saying that is underestimating the real actual danger they present.

Russia has vast natural resources and enough buyers for those resources even if the EU manages to completely stop (at significant cost). Their industry turned to wartime mode, resulting in the fact that they now have more armored vehicles than in February 2022.

Will they actually physically reach Italy? Probably not. Will they try to buy it out and bring a (even more) fascist autocratic regime there? Probably yes.


It's both poor, failing and with a population affected by chronic depression. But for that reason (desperation) they should not be underestimated and should have been handled in a way less gentle way.

> Russia has vast natural resources and enough buyers

Not saying that it's not what has kept them standing until now, but the buyers make the price in this case. So who knows what the price could become in the future.

> Will they try to buy it out and bring a (even more) fascist autocratic regime there? Probably yes.

Are you still talking about Russia with their monopoly currency? "Try" as in one probability over one billion to succeed and be disposed of a few days later. This ability to influence foreign countries effectively and not in clownish ways is a nice story for kids.


Very good, not always perfect with text or with following exactly the prompt, but 6B so... impressive.

I have had good textual results with the Turbo version so far. Sometimes it drops a letter in the output, but most of the time it adheres well to both the text requested and the style.

I tried this prompt on my username: "A painted UFO abducts the graffiti text "Accrual" painted on the side of a rusty bridge."

> The server was deserializing untrusted input from the client directly into

If I had a dollar for every time a serious vulnerability that started like this was discovered in the last 30 years...


Incredibile, completely unexpected, no one ever ever pointed out that RCS and most of the rest was not good software. No one, no one.

> A non-profit structure provides enforceable assurances: the mission cannot be quietly changed, funds cannot be diverted to private benefit, and the project cannot be sold off or repurposed for commercial gain.

What does he mean, isn't this what OpenAI just did, I'm confused guys


No way! You need to incorporate a whole other company for that. By the way, it's a terminal emulator. I think we'll be fine if they pull the rug.

Yeah, no doubt considering it's Hashimoto and considering the project, it was just a joke on what OpenAI did with their non-profit.

> "eager to inflict"

Eager to do what? If it sucks it sucks, but that's a very childish way to frame it, no one did anything on purpose or out of spite. That kind of silliness hurts the image of the project. But bad translation I suppose.


They should know that crap software is rarely intentional as they make it out to be in the initial version of the text, what you get is what they are able to build in the environment they are in (that matters too). Capability and environment.

I think the Reddit mobile website team might be the exception to that. What they make is a particular brand of unusable and from what I remember there is evidence of them talking about how that was intentional.

Reddit is trying to steer everyone into using their mobile app, which schlorps up as much personal data as it possibly can. I normally don’t go in for the whole mustache twirling thing, but given their previous actions in shutting down all third party apps, I’m fine in this case with accusing them of outright malice.

I think they recently banned people from creating their own API keys, which is a thing that people were doing to enter into their third party apps to bypass the ban - every copy of the app was registered as a single-user app. Now if you want to make any app or bot, you either screen-scrape, steal an API key, or get the approval of Reddit management.
