Calibri is woke?

I guess I’m glad they’re focusing on this rather than breaking something else in society

Nah, the state department is big enough to do both at the same time - at least it would be at full staffing levels.

Point is they're doing both, at once.

The font is not masculine enough.

All paragraph text to to use the proper manly IMPACT in the future.

The point being that if the change to Calibri has been done to improve accessibility (hence: inclusion) that makes it woke.

Which is stupid, of course, especially considering that sans-serif fonts improve readability on screens for most people, not for a minority.

EDIT: extraneous "don't" in the middle of a sentence


So what next? Wheelchair ramps? Seats for the elderly and the pregnant? Accessibility features don't displace or even inconvenience the majority in any manner. They only make facilities accessible to an additional crowd, who should be getting them as a matter of right in the first place. What's the end game here?

The endgame is to normalize punishing groups/individuals for any reason on a whim of the ones in charge. Start with minorities and people who can’t defend themselves, then later you can do easier to anyone who gets inconvenient. Despotism 101.

They've been talking about rolling back "DEIA" since they got in power. The A is "accessibility" so they're not hiding this.

That does not make it right.

> What's the end game here?

There's no end game in particular.

Cruelty is the point

Font changes are cruel?

They can be if a font is chosen due to it being easier to read for some people and then it's reverted so that those people will then struggle to read. It's akin to removing ramps from shops to make it awkward for those in wheelchairs.

Many things labeled as woke benefit the masses like environmental protection.

I guess people like to stay asleep.

Will be a rough awakening


> Will be a rough awakening

I used to believe that people would wake up, but that does not seem to be what happens. They are just herded around by the next dog that comes along.


The president of the US struggles to stay awake in his brief detours from the golf course. It’s a perfect metaphor for the country. All seriousness has left the building.

It's just ragebaiting. Don't take the bait.

If I say I bought a yellow car, nobody cares. If I say I bought a yellow car to troll the libtards, now everybody is mad even though what I said makes no sense and it all has little consequence anyway.


I'm way past raging—just laughing at the stupidity at this point.

Yes. My parents happily drench themselves in a neverending barrage of unhinged political commentary on YouTube and watch clips on Facebook without knowing they are AI generated. It is really horrifying.

> Trinity Large is currently training on 2048 B300 GPUs and will arrive in January 2026.

How long does the training take?


Couple days or weeks usually. No one is doing 9 month training runs

Even if they do continue to lag behind they are a good bet against monopolisation by proprietary vendors.

They would if corporations were allowed to run these models. I fully expect the US government to prohibit corporations from doing anything useful with Chinese models (full censorship). It's the same game they use with chips.

How do you normally install these dev dependencies on your current setup?

What are the "sha1-hulud" github repositories for exactly? I see files like secrets.json but the contents seems to not be valid json. Are these encrypted?


I looked at one and it was doubly encoded base64.


If you read the source, the concerns around poisoning are more sober than fear of wrongthink. Here is how firefox translated it for me:

> It leads to real-world risks. Data pollution can also pose a range of real-world risks, particularly in the areas of financial markets, public safety and health care.In the financial field, outlaws use AI to fabricate false information, causing data pollution, which may cause abnormal fluctuations in stock prices, and constitute a new type of market manipulation risk; in the field of public safety, data pollution is easy to disturb public perception, mislead public opinion, and induce social panic; in the field of medical and health, data pollution may cause models to generate wrong diagnosis and treatment suggestions, which not only endangers the safety of patients, but also aggravates the spread of pseudoscience.


It is and it is an accurate proxy. 99.9% of smartphone users are not doing hackerman stuff on the phone.


Looking at sibling comments going "it doesn't affect me cause I browse social media on big screen", it seems like using this proxy brings more confusion than good.


Individuals on Hacker News of all sites bringing up their individual usage patterns as a counterpoint says nothing about the applicability of this proxy.


And your comments say nothing about whether applying this proxy is useful.


I use my smartphone for primarily for: email, phone calls, text messages, second-factor authentication, calendar, camera and photo viewing.

I don't use it for social media.


You are the 0.01%


Seems like I am in the 0.01%, too, then! Yay.


I am also the .01%


Same, but different. I don't use my smartphone for email, but I do use it for navigation.


There are hostile foriegn governments in Roblox? What for?


A small catch

> Using an existing space rather than building one from the ground up allowed the company to begin working on the computer immediately.
