> arguing that we should instead give that control to Apple is just swapping out who's holding the gun. apple wrote the OS, in this scenario they're already holding a nuke, and getting the gun out of crowdstrike's hands is

yes, the paperclip maximizer maximizes paperclips, not ethics. if you want to maximize ethics, it was probably a bad choice to build our society around paperclip maximizers. Obviously the system will perform its design function to the maxim

the open kernel driver also fundamentally breaks the limitation about geforce gpus not being licensed for use in the datacenter. that provision is a driver provision and CUDA does not follow the same license as the driver... really the o

so basically “if you really think there’s no proof of a positive claim, then you won’t mind conclusively proving the negation”? no, that’s not how either logical propositions or burden of proof works

of course not, but that's not actually a thing. and you don't have the final say on what NVIDIA is allowed to do with their software either

Watch the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet with Leo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Absurdly over the top and campy and fun, which I really think shakespeare would have loved. He was a "butts in seats" kinda guy. https://w

it’s also not really a thing anymore because of the open kernel driver… at that point it’s just MIT licensed. of course people continued to melt down about that for some reason too, in the customary “nothing is ever libre enough!” circular

the same series of videos that launched this, also confirm that chips like 13700T are degrading (or at least crashing). So it’s not nearly so simple as “too much power/voltage” - this is happening in 35W chips. There are at least 2 cau

It comes from the idea that apple didn’t advance significantly in M2 and M3, which are equally untrue, but equally pervasive. People were absolutely sure that apple made basically no real advancement but just were running up the TDPs and th

N3B is such a poorly-yielding node that it’s worth actively pushing up the release cycles and get people onto the next product, which will use N3E instead.

the reason NVIDIA has a lead right now is largely because they didn't slack off during the Maxwell era and kept iterating even after the 22nm/20nm node fell though. AMD decided that hey, we can't really afford this right n
