a pizza party is hella cheaper than a raise, but it’s paradoxically also much worse for morale to cancel a pizza party than to not give a raise.

his arm is blue for an amazing reason

it’s in context of the first comment i made, which is at the top of this particular chain of replies. but i’ll reiterate: the idea of autonomous bogies is fundamentally tone-deaf to how rail works, it solves no problem and creates lots of new ones. they are not useful in rail yards since they can not be used as shunters nor in any way help to build cossists, they are not useful for last-mile because the sidings don’t exist and they’re not useful for the first 99 miles because their range is abysmal.

also they can only take containers, require new infrastructure for charging, and take up slots that could be used by full trains.

oh you just reminded me of the a$ap rocky assault case from 2019 during trump I, wherein he personally called up the then-minister for state of sweden and threatened sanctions if the guy wasn’t released while at the same time offering to post bail. the minister had to explain to him that not only does sweden, like most democracies, not have a bail system, it is explicitly illegal for statesmen to attempt to influence the courts.

no, i was mostly talking cpus.

okay but we’re talking about the autonomous bogeys here, which addresses none of the issues brought up. that’s why i said that. also, i don’t think anyone believes psr solves any problem whatsoever…

i should fucking hope so, those were state of the art when they started development.

the committee is selected by parliament so it’s not like they have nothing to do with it.

rail yards are a solved problem too, since they’re gravity-powered. and for last mile you typically need to do the first 99

these chucklefucks are still at it? this idea is just completely detached from reality, especially in north america where psr is the norm. the problem isn’t technical, it’s regulatory.

kiruna claimed to be the largest city in the world up until 2009 due to the city limits being colocated with the municipality limits as a result of a typo in the paper work. it has a population of 22k and an area of almost 21k km² (~8k sq mi).

voat was started because they removed the jailbait sub. it was never good.

can we not be like every earlier “reddit alternative” that just talks about reddit? i remember the shitstorm that was voat.

i didn’t join because of reddit, i joined because i like the threaded conversation model.

not really, because it doesn’t cite any sources. but the article itself isn’t open access so it’s also hard to verify that it’s got anything to disprove to begin with.

use of deprecated units like the gauss also makes it look weird.

they were the first to have a completely blank front page optimised to load as fast as possible. everyone elne packed their pages full of ads, news, and weather.

also, anything created by an llm can, by definition, not be open sourced, because the prompter does not have any rights to give away.

why are you comparing manufacturing to inference? compare it to training.

your experience is not universal.

yeah it’s very niche if you don’t want to get dnto the flexible screen ones. which i personally don’t, they’re all too large even when closed and so damn brittle.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
