The article is very short and contains almost no substance at all. The gist is: > Hugging Face […] has been exploring a sale that could value the company at $13 billion or more. The startup has been working with a bank to gauge bidders&#

I recently had to throw out a first gen iPad that was physically still in mint condition (even including the battery, somehow), simply for the lack of support essentially turning it into a useless brick.

Yeah, it is incredible: https://www.netto-online.de/balkonkraftwerk-1000w-800w-solar... For those not speaking German: Base price (incl. tax) for the bundle is 210€, plus 60€ shipping, minus 30€ sale, so 240€ for a complete

Methods on generic types were already a thing. What is new is that methods can now define their own generic parameters, independent of the type they are defined on.
