I would also say in general that the federal government's software contractors are likely building tons of complex HTML5 / WebRTC / webassembly software packages that will choke a cheaper desktop PC. Ever viewed 20 cameras si

Tell that to the cellular industry marketing people who decided to put "4.5G" on things. Also not everything that is marketed "5G" is equal in capability, there's a myriad of different bands in different regulatory

You're absolutely right. I should note that what I wrote above wasn't trying to make excuses for them. Obviously they under-resourced and paid not enough attention to logging and monitoring thinking traces and tool calls/resu

One of the known bugs in skyrim that will likely never be patched is that you realistically can't fill a room with cheese wheels, cabbage, bottles of wine or any other static objects (in a cell that persists items, like in an owned h

I would think it's entirely plausible that they have so many R&D agents/LLMs in active use at any one time that it's far beyond the capacity of any human to review the log files of their activity. Even just to go through

This is one of the primary reasons why fraud actors purchase residential proxies in bulk now. Google "residential proxies for sale" for the tip of a huge grey/black market iceberg. You know all those trojan infected smart TVs
