No one is trying to get rich from working on Haiku. They are doing it for fun, as a passion project. Sure AI would help with velocity but velocity is not the only goal. Journey before destination. Also: Open source is about relationships. R

If this is an attempt at humor, it is in very bad taste. And no, please educate yourself on what Finland did to eradicate homelessness. It has nothing to do climate but with the fact that Finland made it an explicit political goal to eradic

The ideal number of jails and homeless people is zero. Obviously you will not reach that literally. That's why it is an ideal number, not a real number. It is still a good and worthy goal. Finnland for example has nearly eradicated hom

The Steam Machine is a victim of RAM prices exploding. It's price is fair considering the price of its parts but also causes it to be in a price segment where I am not sure who it is for. People that can afford a Steam Machine at the c

That is all true but even as a hardcore Linux and Thinkpad user, I have to admit it is a hard sell when no one can offer the quality of Apple. Apple is the only hardware company where you can buy a product and it is good hardware wise. Sure

Policy makers are not stupid, the system is working as intended. The intention is to destroy public education in favor of private schools. Same as public health care has been systematically destroyed. It's all part of the neoliberal ag

Just because some researchers are infected with this idiocy that EY propagates does not mean that it is legit. Maybe they should pay more attention to real problems like the sycophantic nature of current LLMs causing psychosis in people and

The combination of expensive hardware AND expensive games kills the switch 2 for me. 80 Dollar just to play Mario Kart? Even older switch titles are barely ever on sale. I never buy games at full price so the economics don't add up for

While Valve isn't the worst company when you buy on GoG you support a company dedicated to keeping things DRM free and preserving older games. Plus fight the Steam monopoly.

It also assumes free market competition which the AI space is already only in a very limited degree. The whole business strategy for those companies is to be the one big monopolists that is left standing. That is why they are bleeding money

Iran is currently exporting more oil to China than before the war. That is a fact. Not sure what your point is. The rebuilding was referring to the destruction of Iranian infrastructure in general. The oil is still getting exported.
