Why can’t Google do this? Surely their data is better than yours. They get paid for adverts to bots don’t they? Unrelated?

What is the state of setting up a rival ai service, using frontier open weight models retrained for new info or ideological reasons using something like unsloth?

The latency is not an illusion and yes Apple absolutely did that. It isn't plausible that they don't know they are doing it. It is ridiculous to suggest otherwise. Go pick up an iphone 6 and try to do anything with it and then tel

Latency mostly. Maybe it’s an illusion flowing from the latency stutters but it really doesn’t feel as precise as when it was new.

On an x86 laptop you run linux. Too easy. xfce if it's 4G ram. Can you do that with an M{1..4} ? You sure can't do it with an iphone. I own one an iphone 15. Was beautiful when new. Even now it has started on the path of suck. App

Yes. That is the point. Borrow & buy is on the balance sheet as an asset and liability, as I explicitly said. If you buy a futures contract with 1m of underlying value - it is NOT on the balance sheet. The balance sheet is unchanged. Ec

Do you love it when people use religion to create rules like this as though people can be fooled into thinking they /know/ the mind of god?

Funny how nostalgia differs for different people. I hated all that so much at the time that I installed linux (RH 7.x) from a magazine cd and learned to program in C & perl. That multirows tab UI thing was an utter abomination against u

This isn’t something in which I’m an expert on any of the current details. You can borrow a million dollars and use it to buy gold. An asset and a liability on the balance sheet each ba million dollars. You can buy futures contracts with an

There's regulation update and work around. The point of channeling the 1980s is because it was simple for the 101 explanation. Investment bakers will structure it for you if you need it, inline with the current regulatory environment.

Oh go on. Look down that list of winners and the list of top finishers for two decades prior to Armstrong and the amount of doping among them that we actually found about and seriously try to make the case that Armstrong is the reason for &

Oh do come on. Bernard Thévenet won in 1975 and has said he was using steroids. Armstrong was 4 years old at the time. We don't know about all the drug cheating at the TdF, just what we do know is damning in ways we can't pin on t
