On Ubuntu you do have this option, you just have to set it up yourself. They don't prioritize support for it because "people who want to hibernate a laptop" is a rounding error in their customer population statistics.

This assertion is based on a rational market, which it's pretty clear we don't have. I think it's possible to 'outcalculate' a rational market. I don't think it's possible to consistently predict the cir

Because the donors didn't know the company was going to pivot to private. If VCs did that deliberately it would be completely illegal.

That's a very florid unsubstantiated ad-hominem. You could at least attempt to refute the actual claim being made. Several of OpenAI's "founding donors" feel burned by the taking-it-private shenanigans, so it's no

Irrelevant. The non-profit is controlled by the same people, and only existed to class their massive startup capital as 'donations.'

"Crossplatform" but only available for MS-DOS, and you are instructed to download, install, and run it in order to discover the licensing terms. Unbelievable.

Two generations of pinephone disagree. I think the price is due to labor costs for software.

The blame here lies with the MITRE corporation. They have over the years received millions of dollars to operate that program, and have completely abdicated at this point. First they started farming out CVE assignments, then they stopped

I was hoping for more substance than "guy who got rich off thing thinks thing is great" but there really isn't much else here.

In what world is "I wonder if" a "baseless allegation"? It seems to me we're still several steps away from alleging anything and you're going off half-cocked.

I've got several decades of experience with the things Microsoft has given away for free. I consider this to be an (entirely on-brand and consistent) asshole move, part of the same EEE cycle we've been through a dozen times with

Being within the bounds of literal and legal correctness and acting like an asshole, it turns out, are not incompatible!

I was an avid Ludlum reader in my youth and recently revisited them. I was blown away by the cultural shift since then. His protagonists spends half the books arranging to use payphones and rent cars in an anonymous way. I can't tel

There are three sentences in this post and two of them make some pretty wild claims without any evidence. I've never even heard of this "postal bank takeover" idea before, so I'd really appreciate some links where I can

"Large scale, historically grown systems" get like that because there wasn't sufficient accountability in the first place. Things like this don't happen in the aviation industry because there are regulatory bodies holdi

You've nailed the "creative" but not the "original" and you need both.

If you do not license the "bits and pieces" then the courts will find you in violation of their copyrights. Pretending AI is different is bizarre out-of-touch "but I'm so special" solipsism.

No, you're passing inputs to a program, and your description completely omits the vast majority of that input: the creative output of an unknown number of other people , whose rights you are attempting to launder.

I don't think I have a broad enough perspective of the industry to assess that. In my corner of the world (scientific computing) it's probably three quarters simple use of accelerators and one quarter actual architecture based on

No, they've consistently paid penalties for not doing so, especially during the decade or so their network stack tended to implode, taking the shared filesystem with it. They also benefited, during those decades, from an NSA program e

Any sane HPC program has an acceptance testing phase in the delivery terms of the contract, with specific penalties (IBM calls them "considerations") for failing to meet the technical requirements. Sales teams in the HPC are extr

Regular bicycles also use hydraulic brakes and internal hub gears (and by the way, hub-geared drivetrains are less complex, just more expensive). All of the e-bike rated parts are coming from the same companies that sell normal bike parts.

people aren't really doing GPU coding; they're calling CUDA libraries. As with other Intel projects this needs dev support to survive and Intel has not been good at providing it. Consider the fate of the Xeon Phi and Omnipath.

Yes, the compression is on-device, and it's not a fixed rate, it's a peak. Efficiently-stored data like video compresses less well or not at all.

I agree with you, it would be counterproductive. The more common occurrance is that one of the patent-holding entities opts out of the FRAND agreement, holding all the implementors of the standard hostage. An example would be Forgent&#x27
