Which is weird, since I’ve also seen claims that XAI services are not selling very well, because other services are superior.
As you write, it’s yet another scam by Musk.

I think worth less should be worthless, then comparing it to the IPO target isn’t really necessary.
Joke aside, it’s impressive if it’s actually worth half what the price target is set at. Considering the actually realistic value of Tesla is less than a tenth the stock value.

My guess is that SpaceX is also closer to a tenth.
And X is literally financially worthless, it worth to Musk and friends is just as a propaganda outlet for Nazis.

By more realistic values, Musk isn’t anywhere near the richest man in the world. It’s just that his assets are pumped up sky high based on lies and false promises.

2 completely different things from a market perspective, and something Google already did years earlier.

This guy deserves to be fired immediately without compensation.

Goddammit, they are 0.01 Gigawatt short of time travel. 😋

Remember how long Facebook worked on the Metaverse? And even changed their name to Meta because Zuckerberg was convinced he was on to something. Now many years and billions upon billions of dollars later the project is finally shelved as a total failure.

Also remember Tesla/Musk has kept promising true FSD next year for a decade, and they are barely closer today than they were a decade ago. Yet they keep investing loads of money on it, and promising that very soon now, it will be available for all Tesla cars.

Remember when Microsoft launched the Xbox, and stated they were ready to lose billions on it for 10 years if they had to. That one succeeded, but later when they tried the same with Smartphones and bought Nokia they didn’t.

You are clearly underestimating how many billions the trillion dollar companies are ready to lose on this. in the pursuit of coming out on top. That’s how it is with AI too, the companies that spend the most on AI are companies that have loads and loads of money. And they can easily continue this shit for a decade without running out of money, and they will because they are determined and can afford it.

The bubble may burst, but it will probably mostly affect all the small players, and maybe dent the stock prices of the big players a little. But don’t count on it to be over in just a couple of years.

Hopefully it will, but my guess is it won’t. My guess is that none of the biggest players will relent for at least 5 years. But when the bubble burst, it could be even bigger than when the .com bubble did.

We live in interesting times.

Not only cheapest, it’s the cheapest by far.

Oh boy, one of Apples products outsold other Apple products, what are the odds. 😱
Quick, clear the front page for this sensational news. 🤡
This is really hard core technology new for you right here! 🙄

Sorry for the sarcasm, I just don’t think one Apple laptop selling more than another Apple laptop is interesting in any way.
Especially considering how predictable it is, since it’s their cheapest laptop at almost half the price of the cheapest MacBook Air‌.

It is not steam’s problem that other players are choosing to ignore the Linux platform.

Absolutely true, Steam has done a lot to make gaming on Linux better. It’s not just the Steam client, but also a lot of back-end stuff that Steam has supported and engaged in directly. Making Linux a better gaming platform for all, not just people who use Steam.

I’m a little jealous of how easy things are now to install games from back when I started

Absolutely, back when we got PlayOnLinux that was a great help too. But unfortunately that became so buggy it was almost useless.

Except if you are a Linux user and lazy like I am. Then there basically is only 1 option.
I sometimes use GOG, but unfortunately WineHQ doesn’t work very well anymore, and it’s not always that something that works with proton also is easy to get to work with vanilla Wine.

So for me I generally choose Steam, even if the game is available on GOG.

I had to look that up, but yes absolutely.
Here we actually don’t normally call them Philips, but “star” screwdrivers, star being “stjerne” in Danish.

I think it’s a science thing, just like in biology and medicine they use latin, and math has standardized symbols.
Standards are cool, and the standard for the French litre is liter, despite the liter is of French origin as part of the metric system. And was defined as litre in France in 1793, where the name was based on the older french litron.

For some weird reason these standards are almost always anglified no matter what their origins were?
I suppose Italy is free to use Volta, but it is not the agreed upon international standard.

Here’s the flipping screwdriver. 🪛
Not that that’s a flat! I said PHILIP not flipping!
Thank god it’s Philips with an s. 🙏

In my country nobody says Amp, we all say Ampere, an Volta sounds absolutely fine, IDK why it was anglicized?

You are right, I just remember it as using 2.8 for an extended period of time. But looking it up, 2.8 was a milestone from 2004, and 2.32 was the final release.

I switched to Linux as my main OS in 2005. So I probably started on 2.8.

WTF is KCD?

Gnome lost a lot of popularity with Gnome shell, and for good reason. Gnome made the same mistake Microsoft did with Windows 8, which was also universally hated. By the same mistake I mean they changed EVERYTHING!

This must be about Gnome 2.8 when Gnome indeed was by far the most popular desktop environment on Linux.
And then Gnome 2.8 was deprecated and no longer maintained, and for years after Gnome Shell was complete and utter shit.
IMO it still is, because they have changed fundamentals like how virtual desktops work, that disrupt my workflow.

I agree Gnome is more elegant, but that’s irrelevant when key fundamentals simply don’t work anymore.

So to get the desktop I like to actually use, I use KDE instead.

Edit: Final release was 2.32 as u/esc correctly writes below.

It’s him it’s named after anyway, so I can see the logic in them wanting to do that.
Kind of weird it hasn’t been called that all along.

electric potential is named the volt in his honour.
