I remember this from 2016. While they may have had a point about some of it. I think things like this are just an excuse for some to be judgemental snobs.

Yeah I got one from work. I was quite excited to get one as macos is supposed to be a paragon of design but after using it I'm so glad I didn't spend my own money on it as it's been a total disappointment. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't want to launch it off the roof.

The net?

I've not seen that since the 90s so it might not be a classic but if you've ever seen an unexpected pi symbol (look on the bottom right of old.reddit.com) in software then they're probably referencing that movie.

I dunno. The only reason I registered an account was to remove /r/atheism from the front page (also not a theist).

Prompt processing speeds are pretty poor too imo. I was interested in one to be able to run some of the 100b moe's but since they only give 50-150 tk/s (depending on model) it will take 5ish mins to process a 32k context which wouldn't be unbarebly slow for me. I've just looked at the results in that link and it's even worse for the 70b's. It will be nearly 20 mins to process a 32k context.

I'm a leftie and that the same for me. I've think it's because the world is designed for righthanded people so we get retrained even if don't realize it.

It also has the met line extension in Watford that never got built.

These have the advantage of not being 5 years old with no warranty.

That 20k limit is an inital limit. It's to stop everyone moving all their money into the digital pound which would cause all the high street banks to fail.

From what I can gather since your money is stored at the BOE rather than your high street bank it should help avoid another "too big to fail" type situation that happened in 2008.

Yeah this is almost hilarious. One of the largest retailers in the world unable to continue with a tax avoidance scheme but clearly the bad thing here is brexit!

That analogy only works if its only the store manager keeping the records. Whats really happening is the store manager is outsouring his record keeping to a 3rd party who has full access to the data from his store and data from millions of other stores too.

I've never really understood the search results in amazon or how anyone could even browse it without knowing the exact item they are looking for. Often the results it returns only has a tenuious link to what I searched for and it just feels like a list of what they have most of in stock that they want to flog off quickly.

I've been trying out both for the last couple of days. So far I would say that DuckDuckGo seems to have slightly better results but ixquick has the added bonus of not being american.
