Why do people keep repeating the lies that Meta's Llama is Open Source when it absolutely and clearly is not?
Sabine saying it like it is on string theory as it relates to theoretical physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBIvSGLkwJY
@LALegault You and the world. And it's a no-go to vote for Harris for a significant amount of Americans as long as the democratic party not only allows this, but actively participates in it, so... I don't know what we can say the world is probably in for turmoil we'd never imagine we'd see in our lifetimes.
@LALegault Again, I'm not defending Elon, but I couldn't find any evidence that he ever gained or inherited any significant amount of money from his father, so if you have sources to back what you're saying, I'd appreciate it.
@LALegault Yep, no doubt he's getting filthy richer off of tax dollars on this, but he did do a lot of initial spacex work with his own money. Not that I want to defend him either *puke*.
@LALegault I'll admit when I saw the recent rocket landing, I was a bit in awe of it, it's a really huge technical achievement. I don't think anyone can deny that. However, it's made possible by the huge amounts of cash Elon threw at it, in order to hire top engineers from all over the world. It's certainly not his genius or big brain that's responsible for it, a delineation that some people can't manage to make.
@mjg59 Don't worry, when I dream about being a lawyer again, I'll represent you and we'll win.

@elilla Instead, my generation got saddled with student debt and medical bills. And leadership? It's effectively the SAME harmful people who are busy destroying the world not only since we've been kids, but pretty much since we're born. Half of us are angry, and want change. Half of us have turned into their parents, who want things to go back to "the good old days" not really having much comprehension about the world.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla We believed that the old racist grannies and uncles would eventually die out, and that racism would be a distant memory (yes, in hindsight we were somewhat naive) and that the terrible old gaurd would eventually be replaced by younger, more progressive people.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla We were told that we could be anything we want. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, artists, the world was open for us and we could just take it.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla On Star Trek we saw a possible future where technology could solve all of our problems and turn Earth into paradise. At the same time cell phones became commonplace. Sure, there was some concern about Y2K, but also the world was on an economical upswing that we didn't think would end. At the same time there were these wonderful millennium development goals being announced, promising an upward trajectory that would continue more than a decade.
re: doomer kids (long, rambly)
@elilla I'm a kid of the 90's. We had a very, very different perspective. When I was 7 years old, the Berlin wall fell and the cold war ended. Shortly after my 8th birthday, Apartheid ended in South Africa (where I live). From there onward, computers advanced at an astonishing pace. The Internet went from something that sounded cool on TV to something that were commonplace...
@Linkshaender Sure, although both static and dynamic type sites each have their pros and cons.
@Linkshaender The good part is that Wordpress has plenty of plugins that let you do just that. I think just the hugo exporter alone will do pretty much anyone will ever need.
@LALegault I bet you she's going to get a lot of votes for an independent this year.
@johnny Haha yeah, binaries grabbed from other debs and other distros, proprietary bits... literally anything!
@LALegault I read the OP and your comment again, and I say liberals still love Greta. Those who don't, don't get to call themselves liberals.
