Is there less regulatory oversight when purchasing assets instead of the company, or do Nvidia really believe the FTC/DOJ are that blind? (Or doesn’t it matter in the current climate?) The near exclusive global provider of AI chips tak

Indeed. They have shown (and keep showing via blatant malicious compliance) that they can’t be trusted to play fairly.

> If Apple knew they would need to expand this feature past their gear, possible they’d never have implemented. And this is EXACTLY why they need to open up more core access to their devices. So someone else can innovate.

That depends on the interpretation of a market, which is why laws like the DMA establish a market based on its size. In the iOS market, apple have a monopoly. EDIT: Downvotes for what? That’s literally what the DMA is for. If you don’t like

Regardless of the content itself, naive redaction of a high profile PDF still exposing the text contents is something that seems relevant to the community. Maybe you are in the wrong place?

That movement is effectively “consuming” the differential.

What is the max token throughput when batching. Lots of agentic workflows (not just vibe coding) are running many inferences in parallel. It seems like every time someone does an AI hardware “review” we end up with figures for just a single

Im not sure how the depth estimation alone translates into the view synthesis, but the current implementation on-device is definitely not convincing for literally any portrait photographs I have seen. True stereoscopic captures are convinci

I note the lack of human portraits in the example cases. My experience with all these solutions to date (including whatever apple are currently using) is that when viewed stereoscopically the people end up looking like 2d cutouts against th

The problem is that (to use the comparisons given in the article) Nostr is a statically peered superpeer. All the "downsides" of a superpeer (as the article says - "centralisation with extra steps") but without the benef

Don't worry about it - clearly I am not explaining it well enough for you to understand. It is a well documented security concern, so feel free to do your own research on why as we are just going in circles here.

A registrar isn't going to keep your domain active if you don't renew. Maybe you are confused about what I mean by email service provider. I am referring to an email provider that uses its own domain, and provides you with an emai

And you will introduce a centralised dependency by using wireguard too - at least one of the nodes needs to be accessible from the other(s).

> am I missing something? I believe so? A domain can not get renewed for many reasons - such as the death of the registrant. The domain can then get reregistered and the email addresses effectively "hijacked", leading to impers

I think it’s more that the author of the article doesn’t know what they are talking about? The linked paper itself seems to make no such claim and actually references it for its similarity!

Well, I guess one way these AI companies can stop us meeting our needs with local models - make it so we just cant get the hardware to run them...

Probably naive questions: Does that also mean that Gemini-3 (the top ranked model) loses to mistral 3 40% of the time? Does that make Gemini 1.5x better, or mistral 2/3rd as good as Gemini, or can we not quantify the difference like th

You must be mistaken… The maximum personal contribution to public health insurance (GKV) is capped at around 400/m for healthcare (and an additional 200 towards long-term/elderly care). Spouse and children are free if they are une

“Traditional western reporting” is traditionally a western thing. That’s only 15% of the global population - so if anything it seems bias towards that.
