They also didn't work under Biden and Obama.

> The executive branch has decided this company is so dangerous I can’t buy a monitor made by them

Huawei was sanctioned because they did business with a sanctioned country


That’s true - this was the reason for the original action in 2019 - but is not the whole story. The current rationale depends mostly on national security concerns: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47012

…but it also doesn’t really matter here. Either they were sanctioned for a good reason and the Executive Branch is doing business with them anyway, or they were sanctioned for a bad reason and I’m not allowed to do business with them even though the Executive Branch does.

It’s the hypocrisy I’m pointing out.


I am happy you woke up from your 10 year coma.

It addresses Youtube app showing an ad that installs malware from Google Play?

Worst of all is that the ad that leads to that download is usually in Googles Youtube app

Those who like civ 4 are playing civ 4. Even with dll mods it works great in linux

1. It was the first civ.

2. The Settler unit was a big eared bat


> The Settler unit was a big eared bat

You validate my feelings. I always knew that at heart.


> and letting people commit crimes without going to jail

So US is the most socialist country by far. Both rich and poor commit crimes without going to jail


Why does Gitlab pay employees less based on their location, but doesn't adjust price based on location?

What an incredibly tone deaf question

The question is absolutely legitimate in nature and neutral in tone.

This post is about a man's struggle with a deadly cancer.

I cant understand how you could possibly think this question is not "tone deaf" unless you are genuinely autistic - not using it as an insult, genuinely curious - since such a question would be simply beyond the pale in polite society, given the context.


While factually true, your answer lacks context awareness and decorum. It's not appropriate for this discussion in my opinion.

Sure, but this isn't really an AMA thread [despite the offer to "answer any questions"]. This is about Sid's journey with (extremely advanced) cancer. Airing grievances about Gitlab is just out of place here, you gotta read the room.

Don't hate the player hate the game. Also this is off topic and distasteful

Paying different amounts for different regions is not being an asshole. Virtually every company on the planet does regional CoL adjustments.

And get a grip - you are free to bring value to the world in your way if you're not happy to be an employee. Attacking others that have done nothing to harm you is entirely uncalled for, especially on a discussion about their own cancer. Please act like an adult.


But they don't do CoL adjustment for Gitlab.

Cars vs Horses

No, that falls flat. A car can be produced by a sufficiently motivated group of people with reasonable funds. A competitive frontier model cannot.

And in contrast to the car, you don’t even get to own the model, you can only purchase access to it; as long as you have the money to pay, and a corporation decides to accept it, with the government always having a veto.


Open models are available that while they seem primitive to current frontier models lag only 1-2 years behind.

From the numbers I could find. A competitive llm cost about 35 million to make.

A competitive car about 130+ million
