Metal, the primary target, on Macs with 96 GB or more. Smaller machines can use SSD streaming. SSD streaming is also needed in order to run very large models such as full GLM 5.x (not Flash) on 128GB systems
That's my 4 minimum requirements for a laptop nowadays. As I don't just work on my laptops, but also listen to music/podcasts and watch video content.
> Googlebooks are the Google's replacement for Chromebooks, the web-centric computers it launched in 2011 and which run ChromeOS....
The newer Googlebook range uses more powerful processors than their predecessors, plus a new OS called Googlebook OS that bakes in Google’s Gemini AI – a product the Chocolate Factory is very keen to see succeed as the great AI land grab continues.
...If you buy a Chromebook today, updates will end in 2034 eight years into the future
Sounds reasonable.
8 years is still a long time for a cheap Chromebook.
Chromebooks tend to be cheap relative to other laptops so 8 years isn't bad. Android tablets and Phones costing 2 or 3 times a chrome book have been promised 7 years for Android.
>Best laptop ever made.
Anthropic today: We don't really have AI agents, they are glorified versions of automation scripts and one has broken today. But tomorrow we will have perfect AI agents, so still value us at $100 Trillion.
So they are practically speaking the only game in town (Brave being the exception on Chrome as they are keeping support for UBlock Origin)
Firefox Nightly on Android also allows desktop extensions to be used.
Mozilla have been terrible at marketing and strategy and innovating technically from a end user experience perspective. With the amount of guaranteed money from the Google deal they had annually, they should have done so much more.
For the AI companies to IPO at the money they want, they have to promise that they are going to be worth many multiples more of that value.
But currently they are spending hundreds of billions and despite this their models are not light years ahead of each other, or of the companies with much lower budgets and compute power.
What they claim they can offer in future profits is subject to considerable debate.
It's in the interests of VC's and their underlying rich investors to hype it ip, IPO and bank the cold hard cash.
99% of users don't need to generate virtual card numbers on the fly, so won't be a high priority item.
For a non technical user it is much easier to right click a link (for example a reference in a news article) and choose Split View than arrange two windows (which may involve 2 different monitors).
For a Teams/Zoom screen where you are sharing only one app rather than whole desktop, again split may help.
Also good for mental switching, as you can open a link to the side and either promote to it's own tab/close and carry on with same page rather than have it open separately and break the flow
It's just another tool.
What Uber and other companies said is that the money they spent didn't generate the expected value they were promised. If it had generated $2 for every $1 spent, then Uber would be spending with no limits.
The lack of demonstrable return on investment means there is a ceiling to the market size, and profit is capped as cheaper models and self hosted open source models limit the amount flagship models can charge.
Long way to go till market saturation though so they will grow for foreseeable, but its a quandary of how much they spend on R&D vs giving future shareholders dividends.
So Iran with these partners and the population size and natural resources, its reasonable to say it is a regional power. And not a 'new' one, but has been for some time.

Same as how Clegg was brought in when the EU were on meta's case.

Shareholders want to get paid. CEO wants to get paid.
The primary KPI's are revenue and profit, customer satisfaction will only matter if people actively quit.
I started to get banned from subreddits after giving perfectly polite comments which happened to be contrary to popular opinion, so stopped posting on Reddit and only read it with an ad-blocking browser.
Don't give them content, don't give them your data and revenue. Reddit know full well that there should be an appeal process to user-mod nazi's. But these people obsessively post new content on their forums and so are protected.
The sub reddit may have been created for a specific purpose and the narrative can be controlled. Post a popular opinion that is contrary to the agenda and you will be banned by the mods. Also bots/state employees that will downvote you with enough accounts that your comment will be buried in 20+ downvotes and never be shown.
You have to care about the subject enough to start your own sub reddit or forum and maintain it and nurture it, which mostly won't happen.
There was recent news that not just X but also Meta, TikTok and more are banning the new Elon documentary from posting adverts which shows how coordinated and controlled things are:

But only NSA/CIA level access and local law enforcement or politicians. So unless you are a terrorist or high level threat it wouldn't be accessed.
OP is talking about just backing up what you need off-phone and then wiping it.
UK is same.
Then log in with another temp account and use that for border pass etc, and then after border checks log back into your normal account?
These are two party states, the people are given two polarising choices and can only choose one. Party 1 gets in and does what the deep-state says, then people get angry and vote Part 2. Party 1 changes leader and says we are better now.
Party 2 does what the deep-state wants, and people run back to Party 1.
It's an illusion of choice. There is no democracy.
