Well it's just for new sales, access to purchased content remains "for the foreseeable future". How long the future is foreseeable for Sony? Might want to ask the Concord team maybe.

Absolute shame, but to be fair the games that ship on disc without any patches are often in no shape to actually be played, so without the corresponding digital patch infrastructure it's already kinda problematic.

Obviously, preservation is in no way in the interest of the companies, they just want to keep selling you the same game over and over as remakes and remasters ad infinitum

Great buildup on Sony's side to gain trust in this move in the gaming community ahead of this announcement when just this week they again pulled hundreds of "purchased" movies from customer's libraries without refund, reminding everyone that digital content is rented, not owned.

Yeah, they're clearly just starting out and just shipped their very first proof of concept. But to me, their plans seem generally reasonable https://taalas.com/the-path-to-ubiquitous-ai/, and like I wrote, if this kind of thing succeeds and could become some kind of cheaply producible commodity component, I think there's huge value in that. Alas, maybe not as a frontier model replacement, but say 10 years from now you can drop a cheap raspberry pi like device in your Lan and have a fast local engine for things like text sentiment analysis, text summarisation, voice recognition, basic vision and things like that, that would be pretty exciting to me (but maybe as you outlined, impossible in practice)

No - it's custom silicon https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48693490

Funnily enough, pasting your comment straight into Jimmy leads to a... Funnily suboptimal answer that does not answer the question.

As someone else already contributed, this is driven by a Canadian startup taalas that basically makes chips that are llms, so everything is very fast but also, baked into the chip. Once this kind of stuff is a commodity in like 10 years, our world will be very, very different.

Read the article in the context of the comment clearly means "I have read the article - here's my conclusion of its context relating to your post". Did you even read the thread?

I would recommend as a starting point this beautiful piece from November: https://okayfail.com/2025/in-praise-of-dhh.html

This being microsoft, my expectation UX wise is that similar to those Xbox ROG devices you'll have to drop to the windows desktop to install updates, and they'll probably also throw in some copilot to help you through the process. I don't think they have it in them to innovate here and make it pleasant in any meaningful way

For mobile - For desktop computers, below 10% even. Given that only 73% of world population is estimated to have internet access in total, that makes it just a small fraction of world population overall

Did any of these VS Code forks yet fix their issues from official marketplace access leading to extensions being severely outdated and ripe with security issues?

Don't want to discuss your statement about "bankrolling" here, I'm not into the topic enough.

However, since this post is about US GDP I'm now curious, what do you think where this money is going and contributing to GDP?

I'm jojoing on this for at least 15 years at this point. I really appreciate the physical experience of real books, the smell, the weight, just as you describe it. At the same time I really despise the storage space they take up, collecting dust, never to be touched again. So I go full digital for a while and read books on my Scribe. I get decision paralysis really quickly because of all the content available at a finger press, but the note taking and accessibility of it all are really nice. But after a while I grow tired of this and buy some hardcover books again and really enjoy that.

This cycle has been repeating for me for a long time, I wonder if I'll find a good balance eventually. My current approach is to try and read more technical stuff digital while keeping novels, the humanities, history as paperback, we'll see.

In your quote he says there's less concern about bias, not that there is less bias. That's an important distinction imho

Well but maybe Chad in Nebraska would appreciate buying a Halloween decoration for $0.50 on wish!?!

We should maybe just reconsider in general what kind of thing is economically viable

First thought was this was about the acclaimed board game that is on my to-do list

There's maintenance management fees to be earned!

I don't know about how this stuff works, but as a matter of fact there's management bonuses for new development for DB execs, whereas nothing is gained from plain bleak maintenance. So guess why many major train stations in Germany have been undergoing major, multi-billion relocations and redesigns (often with worse throughput metrics).

Considering the look of the train to the vast majority of people outside of it, I'm fine with not seeing anything - I'm staring at my book anyway for the most part, and there's another window on the other side. And I prefer it a lot over those ads that anyway otherwise contaminate the window with some random, probably sexist, racist, or otherwise shite nonsense.

I agree with you, but I would like to point out that airplanes without power should glide, i.e. see gimli glider. I do wonder though if anyone has tried with recent Boeing models.

That's pretty close to webauthn, which works very nicely with yubikeys if the service supports it. 2fa? Please tap yubi button - done.

I took a brief look at their online article about the British empire. While it does briefly mention Jamaica requiring "conquest" in the origins section, it seems mostly oblivious to the consequences of the empire's "commercial ambitions" for the local populations. Not sure that would form a great "factual" source of truth to train an AI on.

That seems pretty long - am I misunderstanding something? By my understanding this means the time from enqueue to job processing, maybe someone can enlighten me.

Looks interesting! However, the tutorials link on the website footer 404s for me.

And yet, it took them a veeeery long time and a looot of money to post a quarter profit, not to mention making up for all the outside investment

Oh yeah, enough usage, which is another thing to throw capital at beyond lawyers and lobbyists. Tough to not get cynical sometimes.

Why didn't Uber though? Is it just enough money to buy the right lobbyists and lawyers?

I see wiggle room in the statement you posted in that the SSD storage that is physically inside the machine hosting the instance might be mounted into the hypervised instance itself via some kind of network protocol still, adding overhead.

Just launch it from lutris, it should be fine

I'm not sure it's fair to criticise a company that puts it's secret sauce open source under a very liberal license for not spending more resources on writing free docs as their main priority. The growing community very quickly took up on that one and the docs got very good fast.

But rails wasn't the pivot of Basecamp into devtools, it was just a by-product, and hence rails never needed to take VC money to become a unicorn
