My favorite XKCD
  • They are not real hitmen, they are just pranking Open source gurus. The idea is that they are so paranoid that they are ready to closed source industry send real hitmen in the night

    Musk claims Meta hired dozens of Twitter employees to build Threads.
  • The way i see it, Twitter is just a PR stunt for Tesla. Now that there are better cars on the market, rational buyers will not buy Tesla any more.

    He needs to shift to emotional buyers. The kind of.people that have a huge pickup even if they never use for what it is 🙂

    Musk claims Meta hired dozens of Twitter employees to build Threads.
    1. Fire people without knowing anything about the business, just for feeling powerful
    2. People go working for competition (it turns out employers don't own employees for life)
    3. Competition is advantaged by the know how of these people
    4. Be mad
    5. Lawyers come with the idea that ex employees retained company property (because, again, you don't own the person). Something either very stupid from Twitter to not ask for corporate equipment or blantly false
    6. ...
    7. Profit (yes, he will profit anyway 🤷)

    Social networks can keep storing EU user data in the US under new agreement
  • I bet on 2 years 🙂 just the time to arrive to the European court of justice that will photocopy the last decision and replace the name 😂

    This new "court" is a joke, Shrems already did an analysis few months ago (highly suggested read in noyb.eu)

    Reddit protest plunges user engagement, site activity and ad portal visits
  • I still find astonishing that tech crunch buys the argument of ML model training.

    No one in their sane mind would use the API (that have always been rate limited) for fetch data for text generation. People would use HTTP or, even better, archives of reddit.

    Why? Because there is better or no rate limit, there is no need to write anything (only reading) and it will stay free 🙂 Also super fresh data is not dramatically useful (except in very specific corner cases when something in the news change the way we talk)
