Ehh. If they do this just for goverment software they would be in a good position. Otherwise a lot of asking for trust that doesnt seemed earned at all
Listen I love Value over all, a flat org of engineers with a lot of notable contribtion to opensource and gaming on linux in general, but there price fixing agreement for devs is kind of assholy.
The best case i can think of is that most of the big tech that IPOd probally helped more users even if they over all quality didnt go up. Kind of hard to measure though. IPO give the company cash but at the trade of stakeholders.
I heard someone mention that AI sycophathy is a result of renforcement learning techniques used (people rated honeyed words higher, no shock really).
People with big egos tend to like sycophants because they reenforce their narratives they have about themselves. Big egos also tend to take up the majority of cheif type roles, either because privlidge gives advantages to both and some because a big ego makes risks seem smaller them.
Its like we made the perfect machine to suck money from them. The sleezyst sales person with no ego. Just endless text telling you what you want to belive.
Living is all about water management. Its amazing how much easier gardening gets controlling the flow of water through it, and some collection of the excess.
Food preservation had been my next kick personally. Always a good time to get into it. Its all about controlling things living things like. Air, water, light, temp, etc. And things they dont like acid, alchohol.
Heat kills, cold pauses.
Gadgets help make it easier or consistent but arent totally needed. A mason jar can grow sprouts, be canned, thrown in the fridge, thrown in the freezer (if you have the head room for ice growth!), to brew alchohol, vinigar, kimchi, saurkraut, etc.
There are some grow a row orgs (charities and mutal aid) that take food grown in gardens for the community too. Keeping our communities is the only real way to survive imho
I dropped the bomb that ICE according to their stats is one of the only agencies that doesnt make mistakes, and my distrust the goverment familey thought i was giving them genuine praise. Like the idea that they could even have faults is beyond the pale for some. Its insane
