I don't have stats to back it up, but many people claim that Office Space made a lot of people resign their cubicle jobs and this was a sharp effect on its release.

Office Space was released in 1999, at the peak of the dot-com bubble. So, of course office jobs (particularly software jobs) would decrease when that bubble popped.

But it's not as a result of that movie.


I specifically avoided making the claim because you really cannot prove either way

I remember when it was released, I graduated that year, and I remember the reactions at the time

it would still be anecdotal and it's hard to know how many people did in fact resign as a result of the impact from this film, and if it's something that would make any difference in the grand scheme of things


The specific claim made was a spike in voluntary resignations, which should be distinguishable from any bubble popping effect.

I don't think I've played this bot. I guess the few times I flew in America wasn't with Delta as I would definitely try chess if available.

From what I've seen in the video I'd give the bot around 2100 FIDE equivalent. Granted you don't play bots like you play people. This bot essentially plays top engine moves and every now and then it introduces suboptimal moves. This technique can be played against choosing appropriate openings and being patient with calculation.


You could, but you wouldn't when those keywords can all change in equivalent contexts.

The BPE or wordpiece tokenization algorithm will greedily take the longest valid token prefix. So if your text starts with “public static void main” it will try to find the longest token which matches that prefix. Even if “public” is a token, it will prefer to tokenize “public static” together.

yes, but then you have both alternatives as tokens, which nullifies GP's argument

What do you mean?

`public` might have a token by itself, even though you can have `pub` occurring in other contexts, too.


I meant that it wouldn't be efficient to agglomerate tokens in that way and that's why the system won't do it

Looks like a bad fit to me, it's very freeform and genAI does really badly with consistency and coherence

C is actually pretty good, if you can manage to architect your project cohesively


if you can compile the kernel though, there is no reason that W95 should be any smaller than your specifically compiled kernel - in fact it should be much bigger

however this is of course easier said than done


probably good timing

this will take a while and RAM prices will be out of control for a while as well


you use a kindle as a display?


For home automation, how much energy my solar system produces, birthdays, weather forecast. Stuff like that.


did you flash it or do you just use the browser?


I flashed it. Don’t know if always on works with the browser. But jailbreaking is easy and I think even reversible. Then you can ssh into it and even setup a cron to download a picture and refresh the screen.


that's cool

i may have a case to buy a kindle then

any model recommendations?


it will certainly not stop at Imgur

also, if foreign servers notice no real loss of traffic because people just circumvent draconian censorship measures from authoritarian regimes, then they can more safely ignore them without real repercussions

the EU seems to be following soon, so it's important that people have readily available tools so the power dynamics change and it doesn't become economically unfeasible to refuse censorship pressures


> This is because of the lack of Widevine CDM, and the majority of people wanting to stream stuff using services like Tidal, Netflix and Spotify.

Well, there's a niche.

Personally I have zero interest in Netflix and Spotify and I don't even know what Tidal is.


Wanting to stream multimedia content from commercial streaming services is definitely not a "niche."


never claimed such thing

people who are not interested in these things, or can use separate systems for those things, are a viable niche for a pure-OSS distribution of Ladybird


it does run some sort of Android emulation layer
