In the past 20 years I've noticed a trend of companies making it harder and harder for me to give them my money.

They want your money, they are just getting stricter on how they will accept it in order to limit liability and meet compliance, and also maximize profitability.

Much, much better tools these days to address both of those than there were 20 years ago.

there is no way they could monitor conversations in the car for commercial purposes (at least in Western countries)

Oh, you'll agree to that when you accept the terms of service.

Can't wait for the "This ride with ads: $17. Ad free: $26" choice.

Zelenskyy famously stopped wearing civilian suits, and is always wearing military-style clothes in public appearances to symbolise how he's defending his nation in a time of war. It's a reminder to other leaders that it's not just another trade deal, that this is a real shooting war and people are dying.

Trump hates this, and thinks it's disrespectful that Zelenskyy doesn't wear a suit when he comes to the US on official visits.

That's why they invited dress uniforms...the ones with the jackets and ties.

I get so tired of seeing content saying, 'Oh, if you just saved a little more, if you just invested a little more…' Like, no – people are on the edge. People cannot afford to live, to eat, to put gas in their cars," Brama says.

That's partly why Brama now splits her time between the United States and Europe

I wish I was broke enough to split time between two continents.

Niklaus Wirth could afford to be simple, he lived in simpler times where demand was much lower than today, being chased by much less investment.

Change was measured in years, compute and storage options were limited. I wonder how many of his OSes / programming languages spanned multiple heterogeneous compute architectures.

Don't get me wrong, love the guy...but wonder what kind of impact he would have if in his prime today...

You might want to think about adding them to HuggingFace, and making them HuggingFace API compliant to lower the barrier to entry.

The IBM offering is appealing not because it is "first" or the "best", but because it is accessible. A lot of institutions / enterprises (including my own) are able to leverage transformer models because HF has done so much to lower the barrier to entry with their hub, documentation (model cards) and API.

How else would I have found your models but for an IBM press release?
