True, but that sounds boring.

I was referring to Borderlands: The Movie, not Mario.

And I'm blaming him a little as he still took the bag.

I understand; I was just being transparent with the fact that I'm a lazy motherfucker and that I used it to "translate" the text.

ThePrimeagen invited Matt to explain what's going on.

TL;DW Matt's claim is that he tried to get WP Engine to pay for a Trademark license (or whatever it's called - I'm recalling from watching yesterday), over several months, and they tried to legally block him in every way. Their self-claimed contributions to Wordpress were (as he tells it) that they held conferences where they promoted their own stuff only - code contributions have been minimal.

So the combination of not willing to pay for the trademark + not contributing back (not in code, not in helping the community) is Matt's reasoning for blocking them from using Wordpress' resources.

He also mentioned that he has good relations with other Wordpress hosts, so it's not like he's trying to block anyone else from hosting, but they were all willing to pay for the use of the Trademark (and/or contribute back).

There are YT courses available to support the book. Or rather, the book exists to support the courses:

Don't mind the ages of these series - I watched them in full, and they're generally still relevant. I say generally because I'm not sure if I'll ever use a Tango Tree, but who knows!

PS: If you're not sure if you don't know the required Math, I created a graph of all MIT courses with YT videos here. The courses on the left are dependencies for those to the right.

"“It was very annoying,” says Ms Rosenberg. “I had 10 minutes to do that and nobody saw the last ones that I did were much better.” Jane Rosenberg was much happier with this sketch of Caroline Ellison which attracted far less attention than one she had 10 minutes to draw.

Well, she did tell that she didn't get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that's not bolted down? Take it.

But that's Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that's going it out of sheer greed.

I was more thinking of Melanie's Milk of the Siren (Warning: depiction of rape, revenge, and gore, not necessarily in that order. I don't normally give off warnings, but this video goes 0-100 REAL fucking fast).

I'm confused on what this exactly is.

edit: I've figured out it's an attempt at AGI, but there's no white papers and explanations seem rather... scattered?

That reminds me to read all his public letters (available on the website you just linked) soon. Using TTS, because that's all too much text for my poor brain to handle.

 

Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he's pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

I for one am happy we're getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we're stuck with.
