8K decoding needs HW acceleration, unless having 8-16 cores with AVX-512.

1) open-weights 2) critical mass 3) de-facto monopoly 4) closed-weights on frontier models 5) profit

Thank you very much! Is the SSFv2 mapper supporting memory writes in the MiSTer FPGA, too? (Megadrive and/or 32x cores). Also, now that there's a SH3 core already available ([1] fo…

They may consider rewriting their web-based apps into native apps using IA.

Microsoft degrading user experience plus lower price on Mac computers it maybe their downfall. E.g., removing local accounts, unwanted advertising, arbitrary decisions (forced TPM …

"All your Copilot are belong to us"

Wasn't their target to replace humans with AI? Why is that not applicable to their business?

IIRC, the original CGA/EGA version was: 8x 360KB 5.25" disks, or 4x 720KB 3.5" disks.

Maybe it's time for creating simpler languages, easier to validate with a mix of LLMs, grammar validation, and test-covered aggregation/integration.

It's "fair": ARM takes 1% of the iPhone CPU, i.e., less than 0.1% of the total phone price, while Apple takes 30% of the apps in the iStore

With the workforce may happen like with DRAM and NAND flash memories: unexpected demand in one side leaving without enough offer in other sides.

My question is how they'll update the hardware, if AI processors get outdated every 4-5 years? Or they will keep outdated satellites just for routing and Internet-related services?…

Is it working for phone calls when running Debian and Windows?

Why Microsoft stores the encryption keys of the users in their servers? Key recovery is convenient, but in my opinion it should exist the "opt out" option, without MS being involve…

My prediction: Google will win. Rationale: cost/token + pre-existing ad knowledge + APIs for third-party apps. My concern is how an OpenAI collapse could hurt Microsoft and Nvidia.…

Why Apple don't sponsor Asahi Linux? E.g., I would buy Apple computers gladly for running Linux.

That's beautiful. E.g., I have Chinese coworkers and now I realize what they meant with "that's not wrong". I felt those expressions like humbleness, but now I realize they were tr…

Why Apple don't just buy Intel? That would allow better vertical integration.

Empathy and humility are ok when shown by behavior, not when used as a "manipulative card" against "ego". E.g., when the "empathy card" is used to manipulate others in "you're an e…

Duralex were used and loved in Spain, too. Most houses still have some of them, although nowadays there's lot more competition. I would pay twice for their glassware, quality-wise …

I used Dillo in 2001-2002 with the PlayStation 2 Linux kit. With 32MB of RAM for Linux, and 4MB for the graphics. It worked really well despite the CPU was 294MHz (MIPS R-5900, two…

VT102 specs, e.g., 8085A 6MHz CPU [1] [1] http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=vt1...

Maybe the AGI will come with the equivalent of a "Turing Machine" enabling some kind of computability.

Why Microsoft just don't make optional the TPM requirement for upgrading from Windows 10 to 11?
