Dumb. There'll be a huge market for home-run LLMs.

Agreed, but Apple already has a huge head start in that market. I could see a CEO choosing not to compete if they know they can't catch up.

I suppose that also implies that AMD thinks it can catch up with Nvidia in the datacenter.

Streaming services became terrible and there hasn't been a huge market for home Plex server.

The Dutch Intelligence services seem to be really good.

I recall they helped the UK during the Falklands War with SIGINT/cryptanalytic stuff

Various sources also claim that Dutch intelligence deployed or was involved with deploying Stuxnet in Iran.

In 2019, it was reported that an Iranian mole working for Dutch intelligence at the behest of Israel and the CIA inserted the Stuxnet virus with a USB flash drive or convinced another person working at the Natanz facility to do so.

As a Flemish person I can attest that the Dutch have outstanding engineers. So if their intelligence agency has a proper budget, they definitely have a nice pool to select from.

Any reason you call yourselves Flemish and not Dutch? I always thought Flemish is the language and Dutch the nationality?

Flanders has not been a part of the Netherlands for almost 200 years and was only ever really part of it for 15 years (It's the Dutch speaking part of Belgium).

Thank you! Learning something new every day :)

Do people still think that Linux is being developed by unpaid hackers in a garage?

Most, if not all, are employed by different companies or Kernel.org.

Linux is big business.

It's a big ask to expect people to do the thing they volunteered to do and can step back from doing any time they want?

Luckily I'm allowed use Hyper-V for Linux work

Guess where WSL runs on?

Everyone else wrote the 5G specs but Huawei built the hardware.

That way of thinking just means it'll never be fixed

"The Linux philosophy is 'Laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong One. 'Do it yourself'. Yes, that's it." Linus Torvalds

The problem there is that this is exactly the class of bug that does not exist in GNU coreutils because of philosophy of that project. Non-existence of such bugs proves that the impementation is not copied from AT&T code.

It's complicated to do it yourself when upstream won't accept your code.

What approach would you suggest for priorisation of tickets?

Ideally there should have been no tickets at all if all that's happening is a program being ported to another language.

This isn't a port - it's a re-implementation without any use of the original source.

That's also not all that's happening. It's also making improvements like better internalization support, better error messages, and a small handful of other extensions.

I have had to tell them repeatedly to stop copying tests verbatim, including the original comments from GNU coreutils. So I doubt this is true, which is frustrating.

What's wrong with them using the coreutils tests?

If they followed the license nothing. My uninformed knowledge is that the rust based rewrite is MIT, the originals are GPL, and you can't include GPL code in a MIT licensed project without making it GPL.

But you should be able to use a GPL test suite on an MIT-licensed program (or even a proprietary one, without the program needing to be under the GPL.

Ehh... Technically yes but when you don't own the copyright on the tests you need to be very careful against creating derivative works, and you need to preserve both licenses in the distributed source.

> and you can't include GPL code in a MIT licensed project without making it GPL.

Why is that? The tests are not linked to the distributed binaries. You can also distribute project sources with mixed licenses.

Because Collin reported it in Ubuntu too :)

There is no explicit IAB category for Gambling and Alcohol in v1 of the IAB Taxonomy. What seems to have been informally agreed is that:

- 'IAB9-7 Card Games' also includes Gambling

- 'IAB8-5 — Cocktails/Beer' and 'IAB8-18 — Wine' means Alcohol.

(Later taxonomy versions have proper values but not everyone supports these)

These blocked categories should be passed to all DSPs by your SSP.

If your SSP cannot block them then get a new SSP.

I see the machine sizes some people are allowed to use and I cry. Here I am being asked to downsize our VMs to only use 32 GB RAM.

And get them delivered to your door in 30 minutes!

There's a Milky Way in the UK/Ireland that's completely different to the Mars bar.

I was just reading about candy bars for a trivia night, and the internet tells me the UK Milky Way is the same as the US 3 Musketeers bar. As in, it omits the caramel.

Also, the 3 Musketeers candy bars used to come with 3 flavors in the package: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Cost cutting led to eliminating the 2 less popular flavors.

Is the US Milky Way like a UK Mars bar then? My mind is blown by this sub-thread.

Effectively, yes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way_(chocolate_bar)

Yes, though a Snickers is the same in both countries.

They are not the same! The cacao differences between the two basically means the uk version tastes great, and the US one tastes like my socks.

And it's supposed to be called Marathon, too.

I've seen some YouTuber taste test both US and European Snickers, and he claimed they were quite different. Ingredients list backed him up.

EU had more peanuts, not so sweet and nougat was different, IIRC.

Just wait until you learn about Smarties.

It's super similar though. But without the caramel and the soft stuff is vanilla flavoured instead of chocolate. I like them better actually. The mars bar is too chocolatey for me (while actually having really bad quality chocolate)
