  • Ohh, nice one!

    The first convention is common in English-speaking countries, but the latter is favoured in, for example, Sweden (tvåtusentalet, which translates literally as the two thousands period).

    I'm not sure that's entirely true, most people in English speaking countries (and the world over) celebrated the millenium at the beginning of the year 2000.

  • That makes sense, but trying to square that off with the idea that the year 2000 is the start of the 21st century is hurting my head.

    If year 1 is the 1st year, then surely the first year of the 21st century should be 2001?

  • According to prosecutors, Ms Butler and Ms Kelley had arranged with the grandmother of Ms Butler's children to meet at a highway intersection in Oklahoma to pick up the two children - aged six and eight - and take them to a birthday party.

    This is why custody exchanges between disputing parents are usually done in a neutral yet publicly occupied space, not either party's house or the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.

  • The purchase itself was a leveraged buyout, they didn't pay the entire $44bn as Twitter took out a loan to cover $13bn. Like all leveraged buyouts (eg Toys R Us) the purchase itself is meant to kill the business. Even before Musk started screwing the revenue there was little hope Twitter could pay the interest, let along the principle. Now, Twitter is worth less than the debt, by some estimates.

  • This is just another attempt at establishing a new status quo for other social media before Twitter dies a death due to the insurmountable debt that Musk's purchase saddled it with. We've had a bunch of things tried, so far the only thing that stuck was charging for API access (which reddit soon adopted). Let's not have this as well, please.

  • On AI training itself on AI produced content:

    “As long as you can get over the synthetic data event horizon, where the model is smart enough to make good synthetic data, everything will be fine,” Mr. Altman said.

    everything will be fine
