Is the goal to be able to supercruise, or are they just going to be to waste tons of fuel on afterburning like the Concorde?

Are they though? Are they the ones you want to run "almost always"? Some of the distilled models we're seeing are very good.

VCs with deep pocketbooks, their startups, and the hardware vendors they purchased from (not to mention politicians) are heavily incentivised to believe that their value-add can't be commoditized. If your grand dream is to dominate the

IBM probably couldn't have done things differently given the antitrust scrutiny they were under. And that was likely the best outcome for the industry anyway.

It's lose-lose for their valuation regardless. This scenario might if anything be worse for them. Now they have massive sunk capital investments that the second mover might be able to avoid. If the open source models get small enoug

A year ago Sam Altman was going around trying to convince people we all needed to drop 7 trillion dollars to build hundreds of fabs and nuclear power plants to fuel his AI ambitions. Only a week ago he was triumphantly announcing 500 billi

Well, it's certainly a strategic victory play. I'm not sure how much I buy the charitable aspects of this though.

And this is why competition is a good thing. Silicon Valley keeps trying to create monopolies for the purpose of maximal profit extraction to the detriment of American technological development, or they use money and brute force as a substi

Sure it can. Things happen in the world. Nonetheless I do think all the American tech titans acting like they're hot shit because they can shovel billions of dollars into a fire faster than everyone else look like the overpaid, mid-wi

It's not all words, they seized the ship and are taking it back to a Swedish port. I'm not sure how you stop this from happening besides build a record of handling these incidents with firmness, as opposed to acting like a wet noo

Lina Khan led the most antitrust-focused DoJ in a century, which went after Apple, Google, Nvidia, Realpage, airlines, and dozens of other companies. MAGA give zero fucks about antitrust, and antitrust or lack thereof has nothing to do with

X had garbage handling of multiple monitors and especially multiple monitors with different DPIs, and there was "no plan" to deal with that either. Nobody wanted to work on the X codebase anymore. The architecture bore no resemb

Wayland is a protocol. The problems people complain about are generally implementation details specific to GNOME or KDE or (in general) one particular implementation. There's rarely any such thing as "universal superiority",

GNOME has unredirection support, so I don't think this test is applicable to actual in-game performance. A fullscreen app ought to be taking a fast path through / around the compositor.

As I type this, I'm playing "the finals" on Linux via Proton on Wayland. I won't pretend I'm any kind of competitive gamer type, but it's perfectly fine and I don't feel like I'm being held back by i

Nothing about Rust requires the use of the heap or RAII. Also, if wild is indeed faster than mold even without incrementalism, as the benchmarks show, then it seems quite silly to go around making the argument that it's harder to write

I assume they're referring to thread-safety and the ability to more aggressively parallelize.

Kent's issue IIRC was that they loosened the dependencies, full-stop. Debian presumably isn't replicating his entire testing regime when they change all the dependencies being compiled in. The potential exists for a bug to be int

Figuring out who is doing it not the purpose of the CSRB. Analyzing how attacks happened and making recommendations on how to avoid future attacks is.

Trump has is proposing a 10% tariff on China, and a 25% tariff on Mexico. Also he's handing out tariff exemptions to his political allies like candy. There's not some high minded principal or strategy here. It's graft and sp
