Yup seems that way. The irony if they decided to remove them for copyright reasons...

Literally every single UK government entity, town/city council, every public transport company, etc. They all use it sadly.

FWIW I'm UK - they did suck when I first switched a few years back but are significantly better now.

Apple music still gets a bit of a bad rap, the first iteration of the desktop and mobile apps for it were god awful. And if you lived outside of the west coast of the US, buffering was a noticable issue as they rather stupidly centralised a

Add that annoying theo guy to that list. Cant stand these people, they confidently push out videos like they're experts, a week later it turns out whatever they were talking about was total crap and they've already abandoned it -

There's a chrome plugin called 'MirrorImage'[1] that basically rewrites all imgur links/embeds to use a proxy service, it seems to work pretty well to get around it. I dare say something similar also exists for Firefox [

I'd be interested to know what was going on with it during the public test as there were numerous reports of it improving considerably at tasks it was asked to do early on in the test compared to later in it.

Not sure covid was the sole driving force. A combination of MS taking over and deciding to move it to Azure, a massive increase in traffic due to ai usage (not that this should be an excuse for a platform that should be scaleable), and Gith

Githubs a great advert as to why you shouldn't use Azure. What an utter mess its become since they took over. Their argument that its scaling issues due to increased traffic just makes them and Azure look incompetent.

Because businesses dont want them blocked, that would be a very stupid thing for most of them to do given its becoming a vital traffic source now that people are using chatbots instead of google.

I'm honestly starting to struggle to see how the internets going to look in 2-5 years. If AI is ingesting AI generated content, which it must be at this point given how prevalent it is on the web its going to get dumber and dumber to t

Yes. (Seriously you couldn't google that?)

IIRC this wont be possible as a lot of them aren't being packaged on traditional DDR memory boards. They're being put on things like the MI350X. I'm sure there will be a ton of standard DDR5 sticks, but not so much from AI-on

South Australia is a good example. In 2023–24, wind supplied 45.2% of South Australia’s electricity generation, rooftop solar supplied 18.3%, and large-scale solar another 10.7%. In other words, roughly 74% of the state’s electricity genera

What "world order" is this? One where cheap energy generation is seen as a good thing? Bizarre that anyone would be against a private company building solar or wind farms in this day and age. For a guy in the ai and cybersecurity

Yeah Vercels an awful service for stuff like this, paying $20/mo may not seem like a lot but its $15/mo or $180/year more than you need to be paying. It still baffles me why the heck people pay for services line neon and supa

As cool as it is, I do wonder how much life is left in the Vision Pro, it's clearly failed massively. I know they didnt expect to sell loads, but they're still sitting on stock made when it first came out, and seemingly have no pl

Agreed, what the heck were they thinking, it's obvious it should've been Ryzen AI Max Plus Pro Ultra 495.

Stack overflow was always going to die. AI just sped it up. The misconception that it was a community is surprising. People went there for an answer and left, very few would stick around, not only because there was no incentive, but if you

You think they'd only have to go through antitrust in the US? These are global payment processors, and the EU loves getting involved in this kind of thing. And no they can't just ignore it if they want to keep the majority of thei

Yeah no, if thats your takeaway then you've severely misunderstood the situation. They dont expect, nor want to win that seat. They want Nige to win it back so he's held accountable as thats in their interest. And then when he&#x2

We're super flexible on name law in the UK. I could change my name right now and just use it, I dont need any formal approval or anything to do so. It only becomes a legal issue if you do it for legally questionable reasons.

oMLX[1] is the only one that comes to mind but it's not exactly unique to mac, it just runs MLX models and provides a nice gui. It does have the whole paged SSD KV cache thing, not sure if thats working on other platforms. [1] https:&
