The motivation behind OpenAI’s founding stemmed from concerns about the rapid advancement of AI and its potential risks. Many of its founders believed that without careful oversight, AI could become a threat to humanity, particularly if controlled by a small number of powerful entities. OpenAI aimed to provide an alternative by making AI research more open and accessible.
I think they got lost on the way
Same for me, I stopped distro-hoping 2 years ago when I moved to NixOS.
It was tough at first, setting it up took a while and i genuinely felt stupid like i haven't felt for a while; but now I love having the same config on my two laptops. I have one that stays at work and another one for traveling. With one word/line added into my config I can as a software, configure the VPN, change the wallpaper on both my laptop, or not. Some stuff like gaming goes only on the traveling laptop.
Also, another big thing for me is the feeling of having a cleanly built system all the time. I haven't felt the urge to do a clean reinstall since I started with NixOS.
GM received more than $7 billions of subsidies and around $50 billions of "Federal loans, loan guarantees and bailout assistance".
US auto manufacturers are getting their fair share of subsidies.
China's biggest strength is that they are very good at manufacturing products at a low cost.
They can make cheap products at a low cost but they can also make very good products.
Aliexpress for getting parts is amazing.

Could it be this: Posoqueria Latifolia
If we can live just as long as we do now but in better health it would be amazing.
ST operates its own fabs, they are located mostly in Europe.
I don't know about Nordic
There is STmicroelectronics manufacturing chips in Europe.
Wait, I messed up. It's almost 40 years ago, not 50
If they were publicly traded they could have started to do the smart things that investors like to see, like spending billions to integrate AI in steam. Why is there no AI in steam yet ? Clearly a failure, Gabe should be replaced by a CEO that would not lose time and money in frivolous things like Linux (what is Linux BTW ?) and start improving the company values by adding AI and firing employees.
I'm having a thought now.
Each time we see "company laid off X employees to replace them with AI". Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?
Better for what ?
For repairability ? The fairphone win easily
For privacy ? Graphene OS has a small edge, but e/os or calyx are still way better than stock android.
For not giving your money to evil corporation ? Fairphone is better.
It's been in the work for quite a while. The mayor of Paris announced that the seine will be open for swimming in 5 years ... In 1988.
So it took a bit longer than planned, almost 50 years instead of 5 but the fact that they are opening it now is the result of these 50 years of continuous improvement.
They are going to put a tariff on flesh eating flies imported from Mexico instead
I moved to the Caribbean for a few years a while ago and I wanted to do something meaningful.
I saw that the trade between islands was quite low despite being very close, a lot of businesses are struggling because they lack the economy of scale that inter-island trade could bring.
Since it's low volume it's quite expensive and slow to move stuff between islands the traditional way (container)
So I thought that a small autonomous cargo boat going between islands would be a great idea !
I was quickly told that it was a terrible idea unless I wanted to be "recruited" by a cartel.
I'm living in Europe but get my salary in euro USD. I'm basically getting a paycut every months recently
So, to give the context I was driving to a city 2 hours away from my home and the shortest path is through mountains.
I was surprised by the snow but, apparently I was not the only one. From afar I saw this big geese-like bird jumping on the road but realized when it tried to take off that it looked much bigger.
As I got closer I realized that it was probably a Vulture. The closest match I could find is the griffon Vulture, there is some in the area.
It did not look hurt, it was trying to fly but could not take off.

My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.
I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one
Edit: more pictures of the result !a dinosaur shaped observation tower !another picture of the observation tower with a kid standing on it
So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject
I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.
Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.
It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.
The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.
So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.
Depuis 2021, la loi permet de dissoudre une association ou un groupement de fait qui provoque à des agissements violents à l’encontre des personnes ou des biens (1).

How to use positive psychology to improve your relationships with family, friends, partners and your children.
I'm wanted to share with you the blog that my wife is writing, she's writing about parenting and relationships and she's making some amazing articles !
French grid operator Enedis has identified 187 collective self consumption operations in France, as of the end of March. The operations bring together 2,200 consumers and more than 300 producers, generating 11 MW total power capacity, mainly from solar.
I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.
It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.
It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.
This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
