At this point we have too much free time on our hands x_x


google ai estimates that 4.7 billion hours have been spent in minecraft. At least these are real :)


I mean that's hardly that bad.In the 17 years since release, ~7 billion humans will have had 1,042,440,000,000,000 hours of free time meaning society has spent 0.000451% of it's time on minecraft in the last 17 years.

Which is rounded well out beyond significant figures (as we've only got the one in 7 billion people). Rounded, we've spent effectively no time on minecraft.

Sounds about right?

eta: that's 4.51 of every million seconds


The curse of being born in Smartphones’ generation :3


Are you claiming that Magnus is cheating?


He's saying he lost because fabiano caruana was too distracted scrolling on tiktok and youtube shorts instead of preparing for his match against magnus.


Fabi is 33 and Magnus is 35. As I said, same generation.


People having different opinions other than globalists elites is destabilizing to their reign :))


You meant to write "Literal russian state-sponsored bots"


Are we implying that Musk isn’t part of the global elite?


I mean there was not a single point in history when climate hasn’t changed. We literally live in a warm phase of Ice Age.


How competitive is it performance wise to other open source models? Considering they took €50 millions in funding.


There were not much disruption though, EU has payed Russia over €214 billions since the start of the war


After decades of development and billions of dollars in investments can we have just 1 distro that works as smooth as MacOS and then we can get back to having 2000 others for that one time we need to run it on a coffee maker


I don't know that that will happen- not even Windows is as smooth as MacOS. But that's because Microsoft and Linux developers are tackling a more difficult problem- getting an OS to work with effectively infinite hardware permutations. Apple has given themselves an easier problem to solve, with just a handful of hardware SKUs and a few external busses.

That said, Android is pretty stable, because a given Android distro typically only targets a small hardware subset. But I don't think that's the kind of Linux distro that most people contributing to FOSS want to work on.


Apple has also yanked backwards compatibility a few times. I bet Microsoft would love to trash a few legacy API decisions from decades ago.

That being said, I still think Microsoft should have developed a seamless virtualization layer by now. Programs prior to X year are run in a microVM/WINE-like environment. Some escape hatch to kill off some cruft.


Microsoft did both.


Yeah, probably the problem is nobody has figured out how to monetize Desktop OSes properly.


Pretty sure you're talking about ChromeOS


I tried macos once and did not like it. I will not be contributing to your little project, but I bid you good luck.


I had to use it ~2 years for work and am glad that I am back to Linux. The amount of instabilities, bugs, lack of features or removed(!) features between updates, missing software packages, horrible user experience... was just astonishing. You need a lot of fanboyism to cope with that.


What billions?


Classic and, as usual, nobody is held accountable for it. Classic EU.


From what I recall this runoff was the most intense between 1950-1980.


They don’t use it because it’s unsafe and potentially life threatening lol


Plenty of things are unsafe and potentially life threatening, including machines with pre-programmed routines that we use today. We already have robots with limited intelligence interacting safely with humans in workplaces.

This learning technology didn't exist until this moment in time. That probably has more to do with why no one is using it in the wild.


Yes, you can just add other reliable safety meassures. Meaning if a human comes too close, the robot stops.

Or the robot is supervised all the time.

Or just operates in an area without humans.

But so far this is research, not market ready.


It is not. Human coding languages and paradigms revolve around solving problems related to issues that human struggle with. We need AI coding languages that are easy to read and verify by humans, but should solve problems that AI agents struggle with.
