The "principal anti-colonial pusher"? The first thing America did coming out of WW2 was support France, a nation just resoundingly beaten, in an utter colonial fumble on the other side of the planet.

Let's be clear, the reason they are doing this is because by now the majority of listings on Amazon for any even remotely generic item are from made-up brands with a bunch of fake 5 star reviews. The commingling just happens at the sou

Given GNs other coverage its a bit odd for them not to mention why someone would bother to make a 48 GB 4090. Or the whole side business of these "repair shops" of removing cores for sanction busting AI cards, reassembling the now

The people running YC and their entire social circle voted for this. Half of them are still riding the grift. Now they are all practicing for their Persilschein.

It's amazing, before we even had ChatGPT, GitLab was building so much endless slop halfbaked crap in their pursuit of ever more "enterprise checkboxes". Now they have slowed right down, no doubt collapsing under the escalatin

They wear out tires because they weigh a shit ton, not because their drivers like to go below the limit trying to draft off a rig.

It's crazy how bad the interface it is. I'm generally a fan of the model performance but there is not a day where their CLI will not flash random parts of scrollback or have a second of input lag just typing in the initial prompt

They made the "abstracted away the CRUD app", it's called Salesforce. Hows that going?

That sounds a lot like "LLMs are finally powerful enough technology to overcome our paper/PDF-based business". Solving problems that frankly had no business existing in 2020.

The idea that a nation state could not make use of the hundreds of nuclear weapons in its territory is just absurd. It's sillier than the people that think disk encryption will spare them the crowbar to the face. Beyond the whole chauv

PM is a fake job where the majority have long learned that they can simply (1) appease leadership and (2) push down on engineering to advance their career. You will notice this does not actually involve understanding or learning about produ

This is not a Bluetooth issue. The chip manufacturer Airoha just felt it acceptable to ship a wireless debug interface that allows reading the SoC memory with no authentication whatsoever, enabled in retail customer builds. They are just no

That's never quite how it happens, they can't let go. You can see it in the "Office of the CTO" thing. I've seen that one many times before: when confronted with the endless complexity and depth of building a real g

Ironically the past 6 months now all the political content is just insta dead flagged and removed, the love isn't lost but nobody wants to be the one responsible for defending it. I'm sure Trump pressure will soon bring those 1000

I think both of those POVs are wrong. The whole thing about F-Droid is that they have worked hard on not being a central point of trust and failure. The apps in their store are all in a repo ( https://gitlab.com/fdroid/f

So that they can pay 100x more expenses for.. no gain? They would pay an arm just for traffic.

For good measure, a bunch of this is funded through money taken directly from the electorates taxes and given to a few select companies, whose leaders then graciously donate to the latest Ballroom grift. Micron, so greedy they thought nothi

I think this is more of an Apple specific hack to get latency down; boot the cameras up as early as possible.

B&W sensors are generally more sensitive than their color versions, as all filters (going back to signal processing..) attenuate the signal.

Fair use is a defense to copyright violation, but highly dependent on the circumstances in which it happens. There certainly is no blanket "fair use for AI everything".

Nvidia didn't buy Groq because they need any "smart guys" at all.

I suppose it can fairly claim that now every other library and blog post invokes "zero-copy" this and that, even in the most nonsensical scenarios. It's a technique for when you can literally not afford the memory bandwidth,
