AI still needs a lot of parallelism but has low latency requirements. That makes it ideal for a large expansion card instead of putting it directly on the CPU die.

I can’t imagine how you think it’s incredibly simple. These things are hell to explain to pretty much any normal person who needs to know why there’s no picture on the monitor or why their laptop/phone is not charging, or why the keyboard isn’t working in BIOS (no USB 3 support so you gotta switch to a USB 2 port). Add to that the combinatorial complexity of different cables and hubs supporting different things, and no tools for troubleshooting what feature is missing (and where in the chain) or what is suboptimal.

Worse, sometimes it’s my boss who thinks they can cheap out and get a USBC dock instead of a proper dock, forcing me to run at non-native lower resolutions or unable to use a second screen.

Search patterns yes, but also location data, and it’s aggregated over all your friends. So if you go to a restaurant together with a friend who recently searched for some clothes brand, the algorithm will know that and show you ads for that brand. Chances are you talked about his interests when you met, so you incorrectly infer that it was listening to the conversation.

Critically, “Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft told 404 Media they have no involvement with CMG’s Voice Data tool.”

But more importantly, they can’t listen on your microphone unless you give them permission. It’s not a thing that is technically possible. And like the article says, these days phones even show an indicator to alert you when the microphone is on.

Yeah I’m not sure that war crimes work that way. You don’t get a pass because the opponent is doing illegal things.

The UI looks mostly like Firefox IMO. Critically, it’s just as slow as Firefox.

This has to be a joke

Unfortunately the license agreement for .Net forbids publishing any kind of benchmark results.

WASM? Are you talking about WebAssembly?

More like, the devs already knew but some middle manager promised they would remove it without understanding the ramifications, and now they’ve been schooled.

The next 10 years

AI as a general concept probably will at some point. But LLMs have all but reached the end of the line and they’re not nearly smart enough.

that’s when they start filtering out the genuine content and show you mostly promoted stuff

What a disgrace.

It’s crazy that so many people get so hung up on the size of the crowds. Like are you going to vote based on who gets the bigger crowd? What happened to voting based on the candidate’s policies and track record as a politician?

I think they don’t require that anymore. It’s a “Meta login” which can be separate from Facebook. At least for Quest devices.

Every time a court finds that the USPTO has issued an invalid patent, they should be given a sizable fine. The patent system won’t work as long as the USPTO has an incentive to turn a blind eye to shit patents.

The US dollar was just an example so this discussion is tangential to the point I was trying to make. That said, your argument does not support an increasing value of the dollar - it only says it has increased in value relative to other currencies. But I’m sure you know that inflation has been staggeringly high which means you get less food on the table for a dollar, and salaries have not been keeping up.

Or put in other words, if you were to invest in US dollars instead of shares then you would have seen the value of your portfolio going down, in terms of what it can get you at Costco.

There is no “real” money. It’s all speculative based on what value people assign to it. For example, you may have noticed that the US dollar has become worth significantly less in recent years. Shares and fiat currency just have different volatility.
