    That's it?

    $1.5 billion investment in production in the ‌state, a ⁠commitment not to sell either studio lot, and potential penalties if Paramount fails to honor a pledge to produce 30 movies a year after the merger.

    That's it?

    the people closest to this technology don't know it the best or can't be trusted to give observations.

    I'm not entirely convinced they do. Demonstrated by the lack of safeguards in the sandbox through which the hugging face hack occured. The whole story was wild in all the wrong ways IMHO.

    I would not be surprised if at this point, nearly every part of this is vibe coded, orchestrated by agents or researched by LLMs. Which gives me the impression that AI development is more akin to fueling a hydrothermal vent, hoping superintelligence pops out.

    You'll get one eventually. I was waiting for Steam Deck for three months.

    Well, I'm worried the price of the unit is going to increase before I ever get the chance to order it.

    I might have to ask Valve, but I doubt I'll get a satisfying answer. Nobody had to put any money down for this lottery, so they're under no obligation to keep the price as-is. And I don't think 2027 is looking good in that regard.

    I'll just try and forget about this product until I get the opportunity to purchase it. No point in holding on to the excitement from launch for an indeterminate amount of time :P

    I think most people will buy the accessories kit and charger and Valve hopes you don't realize you just spent another 90$

    Should've just increased the block size, Adam :P BTC Cash developers must be feeling pretty vindicated right now.

    Should've just increased the block size, Adam :P

    The actors withdrew approximately 4,000 BTC (roughly $320 million), representing about 95% of the wallet's total balance of roughly 4,200 BTC. Liquid's federation wallet holds the Bitcoin that backs L-BTC issued on the sidechain, meaning most of that reserve now sits with the actors until they make good on a promise to return it.

    BTC Cash developers must be feeling pretty vindicated right now.
