So I wondered a bit how much it actually affects the economy.
“S&P 500” companies’ market cap is about 57 trillion dollars with a P/E ratio of about 30. So openai by itself is dragging down the total s&p 500 earnings by only about 0.5%. The bigger problem is that there are multiple companies like openAI, and a large chunk of the entire economy’s valuation is tied to the promise that all the AI companies will somehow become profitable sometime soon.
Nah, it was found sometime before november 24 2021, publicly disclosed in december 9 2021, and only used by 2b2t players on december 10 2021.
The small amount of sales of doom 2 today is not at all comparable to the massive amount of minecraft sales and minecraft-related microtransactions that microsoft is raking in. Doom has many modern sequels that are far more popular today than doom 2, while minecraft does not have any official sequel.
SteamOS for Desktop is imminent
Do you have some source? I recall the latest rumor related to a valve patent is more likely to be about some VR thing than a steamOS PC
Most people may miss this detail, but “pisscorp” comes from the old discord logo’s stylized Ds looking like a hebrew letter that is pronounced almost like P
Originally planned to post it in this format but thought too much reaction within reaction would be bad (and including mr. theo ai glazer felt questionable)

Nim is more “high level, automatic memory management by default, but you can go 100% manual if you need to”, though the reality of doing that is basically the opposite of rust’s “everything you need to do is well-documented and solid”
Nim is a compiled language by default, and supposedly cross-compilation is usually as simple as
apt install mingw-w64
nim c -d:mingw myproject.nim
though I haven’t really tried doing it (and my general impression of nim is anything “slightly obscure” like cross-compilation still has a non-zero risk of running into unexpected thorny bugs)
I remember tab groups showing up one day by themselves maybe a week ago, and then I quickly clicked about two buttons and now they’re totally gone and I almost forgot they were a thing. But likely if I had summarily clicked 2 different buttons it might have been turned on without me realizing it, and that would cause the model to be downloaded and the CPU cycles to be spent (at least if I kept the tab groups on)
Video has general VPN background info:
A VPN is ultimately just someone else’s computer that routes traffic through it, and there is nothing stopping you from starting your own VPN company, promising you’re not logging anything, and then logging everything you can. You are almost certainly never going to be punished in any way for lying to your customers as long as you put in a minimal amount of effort.
Some VPN companies like to make ridiculous claims like “the vpn will prevent you from getting hacked” which is not true
For 95-99% of internet users (at least in western countries) a VPN doesn’t really help with privacy at all since your browser is most likely still easily fingerprintable. UBlock origin or similar things help but are not even close enough to stop all fingerprinting, you need something like tor browser with javascript disabled to actually get your browser privacy to the level where a VPN is relevant. (Though it does have other benefits like circumventing some geoblocking, making unencrypted websites slightly safer, etc)
You ought to manually configure DNS, possibly even try to self-host
touched upon in the video but not directly explained, almost all VPN companies just rent from cloud services instead of hosting it themselves so even if they didn’t personally log anything, all the network traffic is likely actually still being logged by amazon etc
governments and police can just get court orders to get all the data from VPNs, or even force them to start logging if they didn’t already, though this is probably not a problem for you if you’re not considered an exceptionally interesting person
generally trusted VPNs are mullvad, IVPN, ProtonVPN, the only one I’ll personally point out is mullvad who have cohosted servers which should bypass the cloud related issues, though you had to manually select a non-cloud server last time I checked
As for more or less unique info specific to this video, it claims that VPNs lying about not collecting user data is indeed very common and done by ad companies that buy out VPN companies etc, and government spying agencies also operating VPN companies as honeypots
yep, it’s almost all banana pi, and at least 4 different ‘models’ of it it seems. But the word is also used in some string processing tests and as an example comment of how suffix arrays work…
And most of those cases are of course using the word sarcastically
The next function to implement is called, amazingly, next(); its job is to
move the iterator forward to the next position in the sequence.
if (lc->sync == NOSYNC)
for (i = lc->header.nr_regions; i < lc->region_count; i++)

log_clear_bit(lc, lc->clean_bits, i);

It’s a technicality about the pointer type. You can cast the type away which typically doesn’t change the actual value (but I’m pretty sure that causes undefined behavior)
For your example, int x = 0xDEADBEEF; signifies the integer -559038737 (at least on x86.)
char *p = (char*)0xDEADBEEF; on the other hand may or may not point to the real memory address 0xDEADBEEF, depending on factors like if the processor is using virtual or real addressing, etc
Lots of em-dash usage
Service goes down after emitting an event but before persisting internal state—causing partial failures that are hard to roll back.
Subscribe to an existing event and start processing—no changes to publishers.
Helps track a request across multiple services—even through async events.
We once had a refund service consume OrderCancelled events—but due to a config typo, it ignored 15% of messages.
Takeaway: fire-and-forget works—until someone forgets to monitor.
Use it when the domain fits—fan-out use cases, audit logs, or workflows where latency isn’t critical.
combined with other chatgpt-isms like the heavy reliance on lists, yeah safe to say it’s mostly AI generated
it does kinda fit in that if you forced people to learn linux, the basic stuff most people do should in the end not be much more difficult than windows (assuming you don’t run into more bugs)
but that would never happen unless a “linux revolution” was already in full swing
My major version updates on 2 computers with linux mint in the past few years have been just one click, wait, reboot when prompted, everything works and you barely even notice that anything changed. Though maybe I’ve just been lucky
though the rest of the video’s takes on the linux experience for new users seems pretty accurate to me (lol downloading an application and using it requires at least a manual chmod +x and that’s the best case scenario. Maybe there’s a distro that has a solution but I have doubts (and “have everything you could possibly need in the package manager” is obviously a nonstarter))
But the community parts seem odd to me:
Is “just disable secure boot” a bad take? Has someone been holding everyone out on a better solution?
and
The only way linux is going to change is when money and development power is given to major dekstop Linux projects. It’s time to stop wasting time on customization or packaging
is just… sure, herd all the cats into one place, make them all work together in harmony, and summon 500 million dollars out of thin air to wrap it all together. Instead of writing bash scripts everyone should be praying to gabe newell to save us lol
People who cant use linux never learned the basics of computers
that’s like 80% of all people
Probably
