This makes sense, but it would still allow a hundred times more people to use the model without running into limits, no?

So if the Chinese version is so efficient, and is open source, then couldn’t openAI and anthropic run the same on their huge hardware and get enormous capacity out of it?

I speak four languages at native level, because I can change languages mid sentence and you wouldn’t know which one is my actual origin language (hint: it’s two).

I’m more than fluent. Fluent just means you can speak in complete coherent sentences without hesitation. You can do this but still have a strong accent - like many of the Indian tech wizards, for instance.

Native, to me, means that it’s practically indistinguishable from a person that grew up in that country, and you can’t tell that I didn’t actually grow up in that country.

Yeah, so if I don’t see it coming, I’m not scared.

Also romanticised in the famous novel The Neverending Story.

What a stupid question. Just go visit it??

That sounds awfully complicated for home use.

Zero trust, but you have to use Amazon AWS, Cloudflare, and make your own Telegram bot? And have the domain itself managed by Cloudflare.

Sounds like a lot of trust right there… Would love to be proven wrong.

Barbarian planets are called meteors.

Reamur FTW!

You should worry about your writing skills. Try some punctuation, for starters.

Yup. They burn heavy bunker fuel - the sludge that is too bad to be used for anything else.

Considering the amount of shipping, it’s horrendous.

But - and there’s always another view - I don’t know how much energy you’d need to use to haul that much cargo by other means like rail and trucks. One container ship carries as much as a thousand trains could carry. Vessels are really, really large, which make them quite effective.

than reproducing a desktop

Oh you sweet summer child 😊

I get what you mean, I really do, but the mobile launcher is very different from desktop.

Let me find an image of what a mobile desktop used to look like. It was literally the original Windows95 desktop, complete with recycle bin and start menu and task bar. Now that does not work on a mobile device, and modern phone launchers are light years ahead of those olden days.

I hope this link works:

Yes, you are right of course. It’s a sad state of affairs.

😲 13 years?? I had no idea! Wild. Okay maybe I need to find a modern alternative - but haven’t found anything yet that’s so nice as Nova was.

Nova just worked so well for me. Have looked into other launchers and they just aren’t the bee’s knees. ADW might not be the best either.

I just reset my phone (because reasons) and while I was happy to use Nova for so many years, I decided to switch - trying ADW Launcher now.

Looks like it was a smart move.

It boggles my mind that people fall for these scams, and do so in such large numbers.

So much stupidity and/or so little tech literacy. Ow.

And it’s depressing that there are so many sleazy people out there doing all kinds of bad things in general. Shame.

Yes, it’s entirely possible to be married and still feel alone.

However, ranting about democrats and foreigners tells me this is not about being married or not. The guy has problems and worries that have nothing to do with marriage.

Still, I can somewhat relate. Living in another country since many years (because reasons), and I don’t feel at home. Happily married, with kids, all good. But I’m not home, y’know?

People here don’t need me; they all hang out with their childhood friends they’ve known forever. I’m the new guy, even after all these years. That makes me feel lonely. And it has nothing to do with being married.

Will existing devices continue to work “forever” or must we add them to the graveyard?
