In fact no. It's well documented that the voters who put Trump in the White House weren't voting until Trump galvanized them. It's also been well known for centuries that white men are the single largest demographic in the US and that it is also the most fragmented one

Looking at the arguments of the govt and the counters (logical conclusions?) of the judge it's clearly just the presidential immunity case again. Cant wait for the Supreme Court to go "well, the president just won't do these logically allowed but 'implausible' things. Cause it would be wrong if he did"

Your are suffering from a fundamental misidentification. There are only people. There is no system doing anything. There are people doing things. Consumers have as much control as they want.

When you insist that the people comprising the system have no agency, you're the one perpetuating it


It's definitely not bad luck. It's entirely a driven chosen situation. Read the blog post. They're not improving quality there reverting anti-end user decisions. "Quieter defaults," "more control over widgets"

There's zero intention to improve the fundamentals of the os. These are what a smart group thinks will be the smallest concession to retain goodwill.

Come off it with "bad luck"


Look at the names, the parent comment is implying hiring Indians destroyed Microsoft with a wink/nudge. And conspicuously omitting Phil Spencer who led the deteriorating Xbox/gaming division for almost a decade but instead chose to include Spencer's replacement of 1 month and some Xbox PM because his ethnicity wouldn't fit.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. That comment was clearly implying Indians ruined MS.

We're long past the point of these being the dark nefarious actions of a hidden cabal and you're doing a psa alerting us to a conspiracy.

Consumers are paying for this and every other "terrible" thing being done "to them."

The incorrect place to put blame is the company trying to get away with it. It's the consumers that are literally paying for this stuff.


Same tired argument from when compilers couldn't unroll a for loop, or from when photoshop was new. Did you think you would become that guy when you were young?

The pricing issue is valid, though. It's hard to use a lot of these tools in anger without having to go to fairly expensive plans.

Insignificant compared to salaries in most countries.

The amount of angst people feel the need to have against ai is incredible. We all seemed to want open weights, but it's time to take offense when open weights are used as intended?

Hey, what do you know—Moonshot came out and explained that Cursor was operating within the licensing agreement. https://x.com/kimi_moonshot/status/2035074972943831491

Earlier their employees were Tweeting that Cursor did not have a license ( https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HD2Ky9jW4AAAe0Y?format=jpg&name=... ) so Moonshot employees are partially to blame for the outrage.

No thats not what this was. These are the actions that the Russians did before invading Ukraine and were the specific actions that the military pointed out and said "these aren't normal actions everyone is always doing"

Some of it is Apache

Some of unsloth studio’s code is Apache? Or some of lmstudio is?

From the README at https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth: "Unsloth uses a dual-licensing model of Apache 2.0 and AGPL-3.0. The core Unsloth package remains licensed under Apache 2.0, while certain optional components, such as the Unsloth Studio UI are licensed under AGPL-3.0."

Good to know. AGPL is fine at my workplace too, whereas the custom LMStudio license has been in review since mid January with no ETA in sight.

What do you mean by custom LMStudio license? Your employer requires reviews of proprietary EULAs or do you try to get a custom licensing deal from LMStudio?

Employer must review all EULA terms, yes. The license is a hand crafted proprietary license not a standard OS license.

Letting a few cold feet throw away your relationship with the US is absolutely just as stupid as Trump throwing away the US's relationship with Europe/whoever.

I think you can justify this logic only in the case you sincerely believe that the current admin is a fluke and things will return to roughly the previous status quo on the order of a few years. And that isn't unreasonable to think, but you might also want to have a backup plan.

I think it is very clear from the way all US allies have reacted to various provocations that we are taking a long term view. That is the reason we are still spying on our domestic populations for the US despite our reservations about the current executive and their actions.

Less so if the US is going to try to request current (prior?) allies to assist in a war against Iran which has already been declared 'won' and was recommended against by pretty much everyone outside of current participants.

No the US clearly believes they would be better off not part of the rest of the world, the best thing we can do is not to drown in that tantrum, and provide the economic embargo they clearly think will bring them prosperity.
