This is the kind of posts I love

Same, every time code or math appears in my dreams it’s a nonsensical mess

I used one for my server. I’m quite happy with it

No

The site looks vibe coded. It’s possible they just bought the trademark, quickly set up a site and hope to capitalize on the reputation of former Twitter.
The $20 and $40 early access certainly makes it seem like it. Even if that isn’t the case, time has shown that centralized social media has flaws so idealists will just stay with Mastodon while the people that want a large user base and easy of use will just use BlueSky instead. IMO there is no market aside from a possible gofundme-invention type exit scam.

I used to mod a few communities which I closed back then. They were all renamed to a random string, leaving the subreddit name to be used by someone else. r/HytaleScripting

What a waste

I feel like everyone knows it’s a bubble but that people are expecting it to be like the Dot-com bubble where a small amount of companies succeed, hoping that they invest in those companies.

Thanks

RDW’s online response, after the minister of transport had been questioned in parlement about the matter

Translated section

Each year, the RDW issues approximately 50,000 type approvals for entire vehicles or vehicle components. Driver assistance systems are also vehicle components that we assess. You can find more information about this in our dossier on Type Approvals.

Manufacturers share market-sensitive information with us as part of the type approval process. For this reason, we are not always able to provide substantive information. We understand the interest in this application and maintain the most transparent approach possible within the legal framework of type approval.

It’s an idea used to justify merging xAI (burning through cash) and SpaceX (more profitable*). It’s not remotely practical due to heat dissipation, general complexity, additional cost, and complete inability to service broken components.

We always code in English at work. Using our native language for programming is generally frowned upon.

Network effect / discoverability and free CI time

Humans are apes not monkeys but aside from that yes

I checked the repo but there’s no code? Just some HTML etc.
It seems like they just plan for this thing to exist but it doesn’t actually exist yet?

EDIT: Their explanation:

This repository is currently in its early setup phase.

At the moment, the repository mainly contains project scaffolding, policy files, and the initial project direction. Firmware sources, board support, build instructions, and flashing guidance are still being prepared.

That means zgm is early, but it is intentionally early in public. The goal is not to wait until everything is finished before opening the door. The goal is to make the long-term direction visible and let the project grow into a useful open firmware platform in the open.

I’m not sure if that means that they still have to make it, or that they just have to finish it before publishing it?

They also scraped some of my assembly code of which I’m pretty sure the latest version has a major bug. Let’s hope they don’t use these models to program my new PC’s bios.

The right move is to private all repositories you are uncertain of that you want them to be preserved forever in an AI training set.

I just followed the opt out link and they’re making you open a public issue with a Markdown list with all your repositories you want removed.

Surely there has to be a better way to do this (probably the point).

Also why are they storing 4.71 TB in a Git repo? How are they going to deal with removal requests?

EDIT: It seems like they’re manually responding to the issues, wtf? There’s a perfectly fine GitHub auth system that they could use to verify everyone’s GitHub account / repository ownership

EDIT 2: This is apperently a collaboration between Hugging Face and ServiceNow, why is my companies IT ticketing system scraping all of GitHub?
