Yeah preset timelines only really work with repetitive labor where you do the same thing every time and it takes the same amount of time every time.

One of my projects at work is so huge, I was asked for a timeline and had to tell them if they want a realistic timeline, it’ll be a week uninterrupted to work on coming up with one for them. They proceeded to ask chatgpt for a timeline, and it spat one out that is most likely about an order of magnitude shorter than it’s going to take us to do.

And all of them will be borderline useless for actual compute

Okay, I plead fucking Brandolinis law or whatever it’s called on this one because holy shit you need to get out of your bubble. I would have to write an essay to explain all of what’s wrong here. Go talk to some people living in moscow if you feel so strongly.

Pro-authoritarian propaganda. Fuck Putin.

You die

YES! PLEASE GOD GIVE ME OPEN SOURCE CARS!

Idk framework 16 seems pretty nice

I mean you’re right but you don’t have to be mean about it.

That’s really funny

They manufacture their own ammunition to attack trans people.

The FSF are the creators of the GPL license and the GNU project and arguably invented open source as a concept. The GNU project is essentially what makes up what we know as Linux (except for the kernel itself) as well as tons of other software including every GNOME application, GIMP, Emacs*, Bash, and plenty of others I can’t think of. They also offer assistance to developers when the GPL is violated.

I’d argue they are a little bit of a bouquet.

I can respect the speakeasy mindset

There has always been a tendency to switch to methods of doing things that are easier and worse. That does not make it okay, but it is a consistent pattern.

I wouldn’t be quite so dismissive, this is a different scale than we’ve seen before, but I don’t think it’s the end of open contribution.

As big as some individual corporations are, the world (including every other massive corporation) is much bigger.

You also started thinking about it, you started trying, and with some practice you’ll learn how to stop when you need to. It’s not about stopping, it’s about… a bunch of complex stuff because nothing in our brains has a simple straightforward explanation as much as we like to pretend it does.

A few nitpicks

Subpixels would not be perfectly monochromatic unless they were laser displays. Quantum dot can get kinda close though.

if mixing light additively didn’t create new colors then mixing paints subtractively wouldn’t either. the results of those processes still result in light that can activate our cones with combinations of wavelengths in the exact same way.

I think the semantics of what color light is doesn’t matter which wavelengths are used to produce it, but what it looks like. We don’t say something is yellow because it has wavelengths of light that look yellow on their own, we say something is yellow because it looks yellow. Likewise people use the term white light all the time when there’s no single wavelength that produces white.

Absolutely. There is no single wavelength of light being produced that would look yellow on its own, but yellow is the word we have for when our long and medium cones both get activated, and a display does produce light that does that. Yellow exists in our brains, so I think it’s pretty reasonable to say that either yellow exists somewhere in this process or no colors do.
