Unfortunately, "all operating systems" are not actually within the scope of the bill; only designated gatekeepers. Apple recently pulled out this clause to argue that only iOS needed to adhere to the Digital Market Act. Platforms

This sounds a little too familiar to the "IPFS would work as a video service" argument that was so vehemently annihilated. Look, I hate copyright and download my own Fair Use archives of many YouTube videos. I'm the last pers

I'm not saying this post-capitalist hellscape is a good thing. I'm saying that this failure was preordained since the middle class was sustained entirely on the goodwill of the upper class. Of course it will shrink when profitabil

Society is already ruined, just not as dramatically or widespread. Having grown up on the outskirts of Detroit, I can personally attest to the fact that there are already places where 10% are the "haves" and 90% are the "have

I am not an expert, but I believe it still requires some manufacturer effort on Linux. I bought an Alder Lake system pretty close to launch, and I had to wait a few months for kernel-side Thread Director[0] to fix asymmetric scheduling. Per

It's arguable that the "open web" will exist for as long as Linux and KHTML exists. There will always be agnostic choices available, even if people choose outdated, locked-down or underdeveloped devices. Unlike the situation

Yeah, that's what threw me for a loop. It's not really a significant shrink on-die, though it would be interesting to see how 4c-only machines perform for their power budget. All in all a weird showing, but not entirely unexpected

Hey, feel free to draw your own conclusions. AI quality is technically a subjective topic. For what it's worth though, Google's open models have benched quite competitively with GPT-3 for multiple years now: https://blo

You can edit video on an iPad with 4gb of RAM, for all the power and comfort it's worth to you. For $1600, in 2023, a Pro machine ought to treat the user better. This thing is like those 4gb Macbook Pros, with the cruel twist that yo

My bet is a rearchitecture. The M1/M2 Ultra feels constrained by the thermal limitation of the Mac Studio. That's fine, but the current Mac Pro is a testament to how this doesn't really scale up very well. If you want my perv

At first it was pretty cool to see the price drop, but the more I looked into these models the weirder it got. Why does a $1600 Macbook Pro ship with half the memory of a $400 Steam Deck? Why are the core configurations so weird ? Why can&

Ignoring the fact that most online services (and free software licenses) enforce limited liability, the actual demonstrable harm of bad LLM output stems from sharing it. If you generate a harmful, hateful, incorrect or offensive LLM generat

In what sense? Presumably the person/party/entity that publishes the content in question. The mechanics of software are responsible for LLM output, but the logistics of spreading it is usually handled by individuals.

With no disrespect to Steve, we might have to settle on a better standard of computation than one that was designed to reinforce a trillion-dollar business model.
