> elbows flaring out instead of being held close to the body

not sure about others, but I think this one is already controversial, having elbows close to the body shifts load to triceps. Canonical form is to have arms 45 degrees to body in kinda arrow form, this will engage shoulders and chest more.

> Why is it okay to just accept that the hyperscalers are 100% closed, but the minute a smaller player tries to play "open-ish" with "fair source" we crucify them?

besides morale, from pure business point of view, hyperscalers will likely last, so that's Ok to rely on them, small OSS projects can be supported/modified by community or business itself, but when some small closed source service is gone, it is compete shutdown, you need to migrate to something else in a very big hurry.

May I remind you of https://killedbygoogle.com/ ?

that list is catchy, but if you dig into details, there are many caveats, for example many product were not killed, but replaced with low friction, for example hangout, many products were created at period of time when there was that google labs which launched many strange low quality products which never gained traction.

If you check some core business products (ads, cloud), google usually provides reasonable deprecation timeframe (years).

True that google never depleted us from messaging apps; at some point they had 3 different in operation, with contradictory statements about which one was made obsolete by some other.

Which also illustrate that a stable business does not imply a stable product.

> Which also illustrate that a stable business does not imply a stable product.

there is no absolutely stable product, some weird stuff can happen to everything, its question of probabilities, what the chance that some underfunded startup with negative cash flow will shut down some product, and what is the chance that google will shut down AdWords API?

hypothetically LLM absorbed lots of world knowledge, and it can trace lots of deep correlations between various factors.

they all were not part of hyped roadmap with XXB of investments and XXXB evaluation.

Throwing tons of money can often make things happen.

any reliable record for this?

I think there's a story about him beating a white kid from a rival private school in a boxing match

certainly unreliable reports of him doing well in informal rooftop bouts amongst the various Wing Chun students in Hong Kong

there are also stories of him getting his ass kicked by William Chung and Wong Shun Leung (others of Yp Man's students) and being a petty little bitch and getting kicked out of Yp Man's school

Who knows. It's all apocrypha at this point

> It's all apocrypha at this point

There are still people alive who witnessed these events first hand. I don't think first-hand accounts should be labeled apocrypha. But... maybe it means you doubt them? Fair enough.

It’s difficult to establish veracity of any of these accounts. Some of them are real, some aren’t, but the two are mostly indistinguishable.

Is apocrypha a reasonable word to use for that?

The only thing I'd ever heard of was him beating the defending scholastic champ in Hong Kong. But AFAIK that was the only boxing match where there is any sort of record.

I read this in wiki too, but couldn't trace where this came from.

> Btrfs is also a clusterfuck. Perfect example for the consequences of NIH-syndrome.

building fs with such large features set is just untrivial task, and btrfs one of very few who made it, so it is absolute success story.

I am sure he can ask some frontier model: hey, find me justification and reputable references for statement X, do research as deep as required to come with results.

I think it is included for free into some coding product

> Also I hate this "The Chinese" thing

to me it was positive assessment, I adore their craftsmanship and persistence in moving forward for long period of time.

It erases the individuals doing the actual research by viewing Chinese people as a monolith.

> Definitely don't look into the financial details of that deal with Nvidia!

could you elaborate about what do you mean?..
