At least in the UK, that's exactly what they're doing right now. They're allowing pre-orders, with shipping on Sept 22.


There are some options, though, that you can’t even pre-order until October.


Which options? I’ve tried a few different configurations, including one with 64gb of ram, and all of them appear eligible for preorder.


Just giant ram. Because Ram.


I remember prior de AI era, it was a common pattern to for some delay in the answers to make it feel more "human"


mind elaborate?


I recently watched a video game journalist speaking about this(chicocartera from Eurogamer): apparently this raise happened in 2023. There was an official transcription from an investors meeting at that time where this was covered. It seems there are some subtleties in the translation which could lead to think it happened recently.


2023 was 3 years ago, so if raises were 3% under inflation they are due for another 10% increase again.

I would expect raises were more like 1-2% under inflation and so they won't be due for a couple more years.


According to their website, yes it will be opensourced soon


Obviously don't know what percentage represents "legit" use cases vs other more morally questionable, but in our case we have a cms where content team can include external links and we need to verify periodically whether those links work or not, which is not as easy as making get requests with a client.


I am right handed but left handed for some very specific things such as playing pool or hockey


It happens. I can play hockey with either hand as dominant. Too bad that wasn't really a useful talent like being a switch hitter in baseball. I'm generally left handed, but play musical instruments almost exclusively right handed. I had a friend teach me drums. He was right handed and didn't even think to ask me about my handedness, or didn't want to move stuff around (lefties have to adapt to a right handed world...). It didn't feel awkward though. I don't know why I play guitar right handed. The prevailing theory in my family is that I "learned" by mirroring Kurt Cobain on the TV screen...


Same but i feel many sports are weird in that i’ve never been convinced that there’s a particularly natural right or left handedness to them.

Eg. For pool does the more dextrous hand need to push the cue or does it line up and guide the front of the cue? I can see tradeoffs each way and the front hand is certainly not just limp when playing.

Hockey is similar. The top or the bottom hand being the more dextrous probably has tradeoffs but I don’t see either grip as being more or less natural for handedness. I don’t play hockey but play golf and cricket which have similar grips and am similar there to you too.


Golf and baseball batting have obvious handedness - the muscles that pull your towards your centerline and then across your body and significantly stronger than the ones that push your arm back out away from your body, and the right-handed stance in these two sports uses the stronger muscles in the right arm.


My dad was a lefty and played golf right-handed. It's a common enough thing.

In golf, strength is overrated until you get to the pros.


phil mickelson, easily the most famous left handed golfer, is right-handed but plays lefty because he would stand across from his dad and mirror his swing as a kid


Re: pool, definitely the one pushing needs to be the dominant hand.

It has the most degrees of freedom, and more motion. The one in front has a whole table for stability.

But that's just like my opinion, man.


fun fact: vs the US, golf stores in Canada carry more left-handed clubs because a right handed hockey player has their right hand higher on the stick which is the same orientation as the grip for left-handed golfers.


Same which makes me very poor at sports. I write right-handed. For anything sports related (riding a board, throwing a ball, golf, batting, bowling, etc) I'm leftie. My dad is left-handed, mother is right-handed. I have wondered if I should've been a left-handed writer and was corrected either explicitly or just by the environment to write right-handed.


Same! I am specifically left handed for pool and cannot figure out how to play it right handed - absolutely zero coordination.


Interestingly, playing left-handed in "field" hockey is actually illegal for safety reasons and left-handed sticks don't exist.


what's preventing you from going to their website? op has linked directly to the documentation, so that info is not necessary expected to be there


OP should have linked to the website rather than the documentation; that would have provided more immediate context for the discussion.


It depends on who you ask


> what's preventing you from going to their website?

Lack of links.

It's a common annoyance when subsections of a site fail to link back to the parent.


I did actually try looking for an "about" on the linked page and googling, neither of which was immediately helpful.


Did he eventually get the job he was initially applying?


No, Guy Kewney got it.


According to the article, no.


does that mean this data center was way overprovisionedo or that grok is barely used and they could potentially kill it and just use claude?
