Not exactly sure of what "dominating" a market means, but the title is on a good point: innovation requires much more cooperation than competition. And the 'AI race' between nations is an antiquated mainframe pushed by media.
I guess one could have racist and/ or transphobic opinions without knowing the harm it carries. If a person is black, and they happen to behave in a way you don't like (e.g. smoking weed in a park); you don't go saying "oh this black people do this, not all but some and I hope they didn't do that". There's a generalization you need to avoid, and also their behavior is regardless of the color of their skin. I have removed such comments, only than instead of racism about skin color this was about gender. And I am being too 'liberal' here. Giving you the benefit of doubt. But it's clear to me that if you think they're behaving in that way you dislike because of their gender, then that's just plain transphobia. Next comment that goes in that line, may get a 10-day ban. Discuss Rust, Linux, even Apple Silicon... not the personal decisions and life of a given developer.
Actshually... we call them billionaires after their first billion, but many have more than just 1 billion. Btw, until recently I didn't really knew how different is a billion from a million... For the record, 1M seconds is about 11 days. Meanwhile, 1B seconds is about 31 years. I think this helps to get a sense of the scale.
I wonder if DW and its friends are scared :P

Somehow, I read 'cryptoboros' and now I feel that's indeed a more appropiate term [at least for PoW-based technologies like Bitcoin.]
And if you don't like that we do have another set of reasons that make it no joke at all :3
"Facebook" is an equally alienating name if you don't know English. But I agree, German is difficult!
If you prefer to live a natural life, be my guest. Go ahead, live by your logic as you expect from others. Hunt, kill, and process your own food ;)
Oh, I know the artist. They're on Meta platforms under the pseudonym: thelatestkate
Precisely. I was remembering someone else's complain on a co-worker thay had. It was bad for this reason(s), and to make the situation even more infuriating they were able to sell themselves quite well. So they changed jobs, always 'capitalizing' on their frauds...
Ah, that key. Keyboard. This was really scary. It did not mean as in cryptographic key, I was thinking my secure UEFI was getting more complicated now that I managed to run the stupid 'mok' command in the universalblue Fedora installation just last week...
This opens the app for me but nothing else, which song is it?
I don't mean to lecture or virtual signaling but perhaps you may want to reconsider that statement. The medical literature should not have the last say on gender 'assignments'. The world is a better place when humans are able to self determine and decide on their lives.

(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)
Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.
Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?
At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.
If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.

> > Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.
Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.
Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)
