The problem with Apple software is they stop competition where it makes them money through lock-in. Apple ARM CPUs are great, but the GPUs do leave things to be desired, and they stop competition there too on their platforms.

If only there were privacy laws and working antitrust laws. There could also be a law straight up banning chat uses of llms and only allow agentic uses with human review. Would solve a lot of problems for lawmakers worried about AI I think.

The FOMO is strong, but can also indicate a bubble. Demand is from circular deals and APIs are being locked down already.

OpenAI does have projections for making money with ads that would make Google and Meta blush.

Client side challenges would be fine when a DDoS is actually happening, but they're basically targeting certain platforms more than others right now. Not actually helping in keeping a site secure in that case and hurting user experience.

For a while I thought what could there be to see in the petrified national forest. It's mineralized trees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrified_wood), and there were enough different minerals in the area to make different colors. Definitely worth a visit.

Is there a SQQQ for BTC?

I am talking about red teams being able to use the model for 90 days before everyone has access, since it's the model that's finding vulnerabilities.

Standard disclosure rules should apply, give security stake holders 90-days of advance access, then release the model.

Would be cool to see the performance difference for llama2.c or see it work for gddr on gpus too with nanogpt, though I guess the latter might or might not be possible because of architecture differences.

If bitlocker wasn't crippled[1] on the home versions of Windows, this would be a non-issue. I hope a solution is found, even if it's 3rd party signing that works like the present solution.

The 2nd paragraph of the story states numerous techniques of propaganda the videos contain and several examples.

In all honesty you'd have to be living under a fucking rock the last 10 years to think these APIs wouldn't be locked down to make more money for their owners. Who is surprised? Not me running models on my spark cluster.

Puppet regime has competition. Now do Putin.

Apple should update this page for ARM macs, now runs tinygrad on eGPUs: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363

The movie Winchester, book from a local author (https://www.losaltosonline.com/community/santa-clara-valley-...) and going to the tour itself makes me wonder if Sarah Winchester invites the controversy over why she built the house. What would a rich woman during her time do for fame that outlasts her? Chase crazy architecture ideas if you liked architecture maybe. Make it so the home becomes a public place.

The Winchester house a developer builds is only worth something if it delivers tangible value. The market clearly thinks one way, but plenty of people are still skeptical. The cathedral and bazaar delivered value in different ways, and the need came before the solution.

Reminded me of this veritasium video: https://youtu.be/_cr46G2K5Fo?si=0MfbE8c99sUckT03

The second last link should be https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol13/p2033-petersohn.pdf paper probably.

There should be one screen each for self signing individual apps and it's updates, and another one for adding a public app store key to allow verifying apps and updates from that key. That would be factual and not scary. Yes, the question should be asked with the play store too.

People should by default not trust a developer or store or OS for that matter that is scaring you into doing something.

10x endurance and 10x latency reduction, for 10x the price. It was closer to 5x the price with the closeout firesale after it was killed.

Fabs are expensive and all, but maybe running a right-sized fab could have still been profitable at making optane for low-latency work that it was so good at. Even moreso with RAM prices as they are.

He should've chosen to not make editorial decisions, and help with finding other revenue sources. Instead he lost revenue by making editorial decisions, and shows no signs of learning anything. He's lost more in market value at this point than yearly profit with his current strategy, which he can change anytime.

But they did switch to a pretty good online presence, the NYT did games, others could try to go after classifieds or other online pastimes without neutering the news room like Bezos has done. Sure it takes investment, Bezos seems to have had no problems doing that with Amazon.

Their last peak of subscriptions was when Trump got elected in 2016. It was a good time for newspapers and TV. The NYT is having an even higher peak now[1]. Surely the Sulzbergers aren't the only family competent enough to run a newspaper. Lots of papers aren't owned by billionaires and manage to do ok. Wapo didn't have games in 2016 and people still subscribed. It just lost it's value to readers, so people unsubscribed. I certainly did.

Bezos is literally just showing his incompetence at this point in running a paper, and the NYT is probably loving it. Sure billionaires can buy social networks and papers, but people can also subscribe to and use things not owned by billionaires.

Why doesn't he sell while he can still get something for it? Continuing the trajectory it has been on in the last two years will mean shuddering the paper or turning it into X hoping some users will switch.

The built-in matrix and irc client is pretty great too, hope they can keep building out these features. I donate every year to projects I use, and TB was among them this year.

Not rent-a-human?

A similar question could be asked of the banks too.

Gold being a good investment is about as glaring a sign as there is for the third-worldifiction of the economy by dictators and the rich.

The 27B is rated slightly higher for SWE-bench.
