But you're not building that AI server from the chip level, you're buying it. If most of the money is made from renting servers, the manufacturers will only rent servers. They have nothing to gain by cutting themselves out of the

"The Race for a New Game Machine" is an interesting book on the development of Cell, if the author comes off a little annoying at times. It was a neat idea to offload certain operations to the SPEs (glorified vector processors) bu

1) Apple makes an exception if you're China, unfortunately. This is how WeChat has taken off, and I bet WeChat could bully its way around the App Store rules to the detriment of competitors, another "special deal" from Apple.

Valve proxies all traffic through an authentication gateway and protects the servers themselves, which is an interesting approach. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/stea...

He didn't take the deal and created EGS, and we have more and more Unreal Engine games launch exclusively there. Sweeney didn't sue Valve or anything, he just complained about it.

Their customers aren't willing to pay it, Valve prevents you from selling your game for less elsewhere. So it's Steam and Valve gets the 30% cut, or another store that charges the same but they only take 12%. So some developers on

Is the Voyager's software or data stream documented anywhere? I'm a little disappointed by the high level descriptions we get back. I'd love to know what its actually sending.

The Xorg team is now developing Wayland, there's no future for Xorg. For independent, smaller compositors the Sway team has developed wlroots, a library that brings most of the requirements of a compositor: https://gitlab.fr

ChromeOS is a full Linux, it just runs Linux apps in a Debian VM. If you install anything in there it looks native, shows up in the application menu, draws it's Wayland/X11 UI just fine. Even Steam works. https://suppor

I mean the hype around the iPhone was huge. There was obvious need for a phone that "runs OS X" and was part of the already massive iPod ecosystem. It sold itself. I still don't get the case for a screen you can wear. My phon

London Studio and Firesprite were recently working on VR titles, and the PSVR2, while a neat product, does not seem to be selling well.

Nah it's different because it's different. A machine is copying the entire contents of the copywritten work to "learn" from it. Humans don't. I also don't get the cheerleading here. You aren't getting free

Signal doesn't store anything about your account on the server except last login time and when you registered. It doesn't store a contacts list, so it used your own, assuming you granted it access to do so. Contrast to MSN, which

Since they hired Erik and Chet it's been an inside joke at Valve to fail the crate test as soon as possible. (Erik left and returned, Chet has a YouTube channel now.)

Steam and Discord are both X11 apps, so switching to a Wayland session may not help much as they will still use X via XWayland. There may be a way to force Discord to use Wayland as its an Electron app. In general I've found KDE does a
