They can start by supporting more standards. It's getting harder and harder to view any modern site on this engine and the page load times are insane when compared to a Chromium stepchild like Vivaldi


> It's getting harder and harder to view any modern site on this engine

Is it? What website can you not view in Firefox today? I almost exclusively use Firefox on my computer (Safari on mobile), and can't remember the last time I encountered a website that wasn't viewable in Firefox. Even my bank, which tends to be whiny about what browser you use, works 100% in Firefox too, even with all the warnings.


I'm sorry, but that's bollocks. I browse exclusively in FF and I can't remember a single page in the last couple of years that refuses to work on it (unless it's a weird web experiment).


> ... harder to view any modern site ...

Seriously? Have a few concrete examples to back that up?


The trick here is that Musk doesn't depend on that compensation at all. This is just another PR trick to show that super-brain musk is here to advance the human race when he actually dgaf


>Does anyone feel that the jig is almost up? Surely the returns aren’t anywhere close to what investors expect with the sheer amount of cash at this point in time.

It's only a matter of time until they crash the market. Nobody is making any money, even if the White House is dumping billions in their tools.


This was posted inside a private group, so I doubt this applies. He should get a good lawyer.

You get what you vote for. Enjoy!


These things happen next to Russian embassies and everyone goes... I wonder who could it be...


I've heard this before... get ready to pay for it yourself through local taxes... if you don't die from cancer or thirst first


Yes. Even though mass media reporters do not seem to have obtained object permanence, and therefore cannot remember Trump consistently contradicting himself, most of the rest of us have. Trump lies a lot, and in this case, has induced "data center companies" to do so as well.


Metric system when?


100 seconds per minute, 100 minutes per hour, 100 hours per day, 100 days per year. That's the dream. (I know that's not what you meant)


We just need to change Earth's rotational speed and orbital period so that the number of days in a year is congruent 0 (mod 10). If we had 1000 day years, then maybe we could have 10 months of 10 weeks of 10 days. Or with 100 day years, we could skip months and just have 10 weeks of 10 days.

Somewhere between Mercury's and Venus's orbits, we could have a year with 100 days of our current length. It would be nice for our existing circadian rhythms but a bit on the hot side...

A bit further than Mar's orbit, we could have a year with 1000 days of our current length, but pretty chilly.

Maybe we could take Mars's orbit, since we think it had liquid water and we've go a greenhouse going anyway... That is about 690 of our current day lengths. But maybe we could spin Earth up to have 1000 rotations per orbit, and each day would be about 16.5 of our current hours.

Given the utter climate chaos we'd get from this, it might be more realistic to move everybody underground and then we can just program the lights to give us whatever decimal time units we want... ;-)


I prefer decaminutes


Furlongs per fortnight.

This was a real unit of time on VAX/VMS systems.


We tried that in 1998! See Swatch Internet Time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time


I loved the idea. However, the main issue was that it completely ignored the date.

While it worked fine in Western Europe - as i.Beats were based on the “Biel Mean Time” = GMT+1, people in the US would e.g. wake up at @584 on March 7 and eat dinner @125 on March 8.


Which is why we're not gonna get it. There's reporting that AI companies are firing staff opposing using their tools to create nudes. They're not gonna ban AI from impersonating humans... like ever!


If you don't give them the right, they will eventually rise up to take it /s
