> Apples don't fall far from the tree, indeed.

And one could say that they borrow from the tree some of their qualities. Sorry, couldn't resist.


I tried it as a FS for a data volume (200GB) on Linux a year ago, after reading how stable it is "now". The first hard crash made it unrecoverable no matter what I have tried. Never again.


   > I can't wait to travel to Mexico or Canada to get a vaccine!
But... how? I do remember times during COVID when you couldn't even get on the plane without proof of vaccine.


I thought it was vaccine or a negative test within the past x days.

In any event, Mexico and Canada are special in that they share a terrestrial border with most of the United States.


I don't know about Mexico but Canada enforced vax requirements for anyone crossing by land, with the exception of truckers.


For covid. Presumably ebiester is interested in being vaccinated against other diseases.


Yup. If they take this far enough I’ll be taking my son out of the country for boosters. I’m not letting my son be hurt, become sick, or die (depending on the wide range of diseases young children are vaccinated or inoculated against) because of this out of touch scam artist nepo baby.


Have you considered taking your child to a European state? Reason I ask is that there is a vaccine for tuberculosis (the BCG vaccine) which is widely available in European countries but not in the USA. On my next trip to Europe I hope to take that vaccine.

FWIW TB was the leading infectious disease killer in 2023 (surpassing COVID-19)

and remained so in 2024.


Happily TB is rare in the US, but if you travel a lot maybe it's worthwhile.


Rare for now.


I was thinking things as benign as the flu or shingles - I'm hoping we don't have anything like COVID again.


> I do remember times during COVID when you couldn't even get on the plane without proof of vaccine.

I specifically remember you could either show proof of vaccination OR proof that you had tested negatively quite recently. If you are against _testing_ too, I don't think we have anything further to discuss.



    > And who's worth the most? Companies that lose money.
I am failing to see the logic in this, sorry.


It's a quote from a character from the TV show Silicon Valley. Russ Hanneman is a SV billionaire who made a lot of money putting "radio on the internet". He's intentionally a wild card character acting as if he has enormous business insight while often being at least partially if not fully wrong in his ideas. It's a parody of SV business ventures not having any real plan to make the business profitable, they're just wanting to show crazy growth in metrics like user counts to justify extreme valuations to sell the company and walk away before the music stops. "I don't want to make a little bit of money every day, I want to make a fuck ton of money all at once."

The next couple of lines:

"Pintrest, Snapchat, no revenue. Amazon has lost money for every fucking quarter for the last 20 fucking years and that Jeff Bezos is the king"

Thank you, I haven't watched the show. But by the sound of it - that logic and his "style" in general are not that far from what "real life" characters are arguing about.


The larger model (235b) on chat produced rather an impressive answer on a small coding task I gave it. But Qwen-30B-A3B gave a result for the same task worse than Qwen 2.5 does.

"Write a Golang program that merges huge presorted text files, just like sort -m does". Quite often models need "use heap" as guidance, but this time big model figured it out by itself.


Would you be kind and share some examples?


Will we ever remember that?...


I think you might've misspelled "ruining" a bit. It is ok, I think we have read you correctly anyway, at least I did.
