Yes, yes, now what about the rest of the stock market?
To say, “oh this boycott is self injury” is akin to worrying about one’s stubbed toe all while bleeding out from a severed arm.
Additionally it’s typical American only thinking to believe it’s just the US citizens boycotting the company. You easily forget that sales are down globally, not just the US.
Yeah, China sure as shit isn’t going to lose sleep over a US Copyright case.
Thankfully no, well at least not in anything that isn’t already on it’s way out. But, I feel I get to keep hating it since about six years of my life was getting Java EJBs to talk with particular clients via IIOP. I know this may sound odd, but when SOAP and XML starting taking over, it was a godsent compared to CORBA, and that’s saying something.
From the story.
Cursor AI’s abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of “vibe coding”—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works. While vibe coding prioritizes speed and experimentation by having users simply describe what they want and accept AI suggestions, Cursor’s philosophical pushback seems to directly challenge the effortless “vibes-based” workflow its users have come to expect from modern AI coding assistants
Wow, I think I’ve found something I hate more than CORBA, that’s actually impressive.
Instructions unclear, jerking all body parts off human and placing them into a neat bloody pile in the corner.

Oh yeah, but the thing that usually offsets the intrusive thoughts is a lot of courts treat this as the crime of “hurting rich people” which comes with like 30 years in pound you in the ass penitentiary.
WHY ARE THEIR ROCKETS NOT EXPLODING!!?

I’m curious, how repairable? Like comfortable with a solder iron or slots and what not like a PC?
Repairable phones would be great but the demand for them hasn’t undone the cost of design for them. There’s a lot of tech in an incredibly small package, so repairable phone would still require people to have specialty equipment to repair.
Like very few people own an oven for working with BGA chips. And if we go with socket based chips, the thickness of the phone has to increase or the battery has to decrease.
Don’t get me wrong, I think an open and repairable phone would be great. But having one is an engineering challenge that most phone makers have opted to just skip putting dollars into because the demand for one doesn’t justify the cost. Your average buyer is just chasing shiny and doesn’t see repairing their dinosaur as valuable.
But yeah, I’m sure there’s plenty here that would love such a device. Sadly we are not the majority.
A quick lesson that clearly the two geniuses in the White House never learned from History.
You can absolutely sow chaos into anything, but you will always be wrong if you believe that you can control that chaos.
I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need — three or four years if they need it — to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities
Yes I too read A Scanner Darkly dipshit. I’m absolutely sure you can’t wait to send people to the New-Path farming commune so that you can profit off of their altered state in hopes that “one day” they’ll be able to rejoin society.
What a fucking dipshit. They just all honest to god want modern slaves. Like good god, there’s no veil to it any longer, they just want free fucking labor.
Fucking CyberTruck like fucking pile of shit website. What kills me the most is that the fucking things they’re screenshoting, those pages have literal “export to XML” buttons that they could fucking export, save the XML to some shared drive that gets swept, and the put it in some actually secure database.
This whole fucking thing reeks of some fucking weeb ass Roblox hackers whose last project consisted of Lua Script emulating some fucking redstone calculator they wrote in Minecraft. And the export fuction on the thing? It’s just one dimension SUM function CSV exports. Literally no other dimenstions of values to add, shit I would be fucking surprised if a single one of the people writing the goddamn have ever heard of OLAP.
And to top it off, we already have a fucking website that does what this fucking place does, but 846 decillion times better. And it doesn’t have a fucking Instagram esque reel of Tweets of people taking fucking screenshots of an open database.
I can’t wait till the next dumbass gets into the White House and turns this pile of grabage off. Paying these idiots millions to power and run the hardware this pitiful excuse of a website runs on. And all we got for that money is some shit that is about on par as the shit you get from some O’Reilly book called “Building a Government Website Crash Course” with a Bald Eagle dying of bird flu on the cover.
This fucking idiot maybe wants to fucking learn what the hell SQL is.
Me who was a raging alcoholic as a teen.
“Y’all used humor?!”
There are a surprising number of people who have indicated that they would use their baguette summoning powers to carry out assassinations. Here’s me thinking “damn I could honestly help out in countries that are struggling, with this power” like the simpleton I am.
Distrowatch doesn’t research anything and cries foul without second thought because Meta is evil
But it’s not Distrowatch’s job to verify an opaque censorship process. Meta is the one who created their filters and their filters are not open for public review. So it is entirely incumbent for Meta to handle the matter.
Distrowatch is correct to cry foul because that’s literally all they can do. It’s not like they can suggest a patch on github or something.
We have to remember that black box logic is wholly owned by the author of the logic. If it ain’t working, then yeah, cry foul, there’s no additional research to be done. That’s literally the entire point of obfuscating logic in a service, to ensure that nobody else can review the internals.
Meta was completely in the wrong. Distrowatch called them out on their fuckery. That is exactly how the system is supposed to work when a company blackboxes their shit.
Facebook support (person making around $3.5 per month in some third world country) doesn’t know difference between specific Linux distro and Linux itself, tells Distrowatch that Linux is now banned
Very likely. Run a shit company, get shit results. Distrowatch running with “Linux is now banned on Facebook” is not a result of lack of research, it’s the result of a company that just gave up on giving a fuck.
Our standards for companies have really fucking eroded over time and boy oh boy do CEOs eat that shit up. Meta has a systemic failure on-going in their company to which the C-Staff do NOT care one bit about. This episode is a manifestation of those failures. Meta has to up their fucking game here.
This notion that Distrowatch should have… That’s like saying someone who cut their mouth on glass in their McDonald’s burger is to blame for not first checking their burger for glass. The glass shouldn’t fucking be there in the first place. Customers have a reasonable expectation that a company isn’t a dumpster fire and it isn’t incumbent on the customers to ensure they aren’t stepping into a goddamn disaster zone.
I just really need people to understand, we have got to upper our expectations of companies. Because every time we let something like “oh well Distrowatch should have known they were talking to a complete moron”, we are letting these asshats who are currently enriching themselves on the United State’s taxpayer’s dime, get away with it.
Meta was fucking up badly and Distrowatch was letting everyone know in medias res how Meta was fucking up. This is 100% Meta fucked up. Don’t want $3.50/mo employees giving shit answers? Likely a good way for Meta to solve that is to NOT have fucking $3.50/month employees. It’s a pretty clear strategy for them to consider. Till then, they’re likely going to be handing out bullshit answers that contain no sense of logic and we ought to fucking call them out on it.
We live in everyone is dumb timeline
I’m not going to have this, “well people should have known better.” We ought not excuse Meta for this monumental fuck up. This is theirs to own. Everyone cannot randomly research every line of bullshit that’s pandered off by companies. There is just no time for that non-sense. If Distrowatch says “Meta told us Linux is banned” and provides the email to back it up, then until Meta says otherwise, that should be taken as the gospel of the company. If Meta thinks that it shouldn’t have gone the way it went, then Meta needs to fix their fucking hiring policies.
WE HAVE GOT TO STOP EXCUSING THESE PEOPLE. They are NOT going to act better if we give them even a single centimeter.
I get what you are saying, but this isn’t Distrowatch’s thing to reevaluate how stories hit the front page. Meta fucked up every step of the way. And for a company that’s pulling down a seven digit multiple value to what Distrowatch pulls in a year. Meta can fucking figure it out because they have access to a ten million fold more resources.
That’s just my two cents on this explanation.
this means deepseek is based on an openai model?
It doesn’t sound like it is. It sounds more like it’s hallucinating which DeepSeeks has a really light end fine-tuning. But who knows? While their stuff is Open Source, no one has yet to test it and see if they can reproduce the results DeepSeek got. For all we know this is just a Chinese con or the real deal. But not knowing how you landed into this point of the conversation it comes off as a context aware hallucination.
It knows about openai and it being a LLM but it’s mixed up self identity in specific with identity in general. That is it is start to confuse LLMs and ChatGPT as meaning the same thing and then trying to wire back this bad assumption to make sense again.
Again, who really knows at this point? It’s too new and it being in China, there’s likely no way to verify these people’s claims until someone can take what they’ve published and made a similar LLM.
We all going to be deported to Linus’ house for not using Microsoft spyware. All because some Chinese AI shook Zuck’s AI investors.
Shit we already seeing it real time. Facebook recently banned anything related to Linux.
Shit. Where you getting the money for so many cigarettes? Best I can do is drag a two pack of Swisher Sweets out over the week.
Exactly. What the banks are doing are selling “loans”. Musk has to pay those loans back quote/unquote someday. If the loan is good, you hold on to it as a bank because the interest makes you money. If the loan is bad, you sell it so that you can get some of your money back and make the collection of the loan someone else’s problem.
Banks will do this for a number of reasons:
Now for everyone else, what the parent to this comment is indicating is the second option in that list. Having to create some cold hard cash suddenly. Usually, there’s a cyclical nature to needing greenbacks by the fistful, but like everything that’s not always true. Something can “happen” and you have a sudden need to have cash in hand pronto. Good way to get that cash is to start selling low hanging fruit if you have it.
Something like the Twitter loan is a good pitch for low hanging fruit. Musk is terrible at paying the loan back, Twitter is likely to default one day, but Musk suddenly has direct access to some pretty corrupt as fuck ways to actually pay that loan back. From what I’ve read in the article, the sell price is something like 90 to 95 cents on the dollar. So not a huge discount, this ain’t a fire sale.
But banks might want to offload Musk from their sheets just in case that money is something someone might later investigate. Like that 95 cents on the dollar price is “We think Musk is good for it, but we likely don’t actually want his money.” So you can make that federal investigation in 2033 someone else’s problem, by selling the loan today. The big bank makes about 95% of the original amount back and when Musk goes to pay his loan in Russian Blood Rubles, it’ll be to a bank that get investigated that isn’t <<insert some large bank that would “NEVER” think to take conflicted money>>.
That’s one theory. But there could be something on the horizon. Something that isn’t right around the corner, but coming up in the distance that the banks want to have cash on hand for. Usually you see a much larger discount, like 60 cents on the dollar, for “holy shit, this stuff is toxic but we need to offload it discreetly before everyone else wises up.”
I don’t think point one and three apply to Musk’s particular set of loans. But who knows?! Only the bankers do.
Their creditors are going to be looking for recompense. So I feel like this is one of those times when we use the answer of “yes”.
