The impression of XP being the best version of Windows came after at least two service packs (patch bundles / minor releases, for those unfamiliar) and the Vista shitshow. First Wi…

> Overall gaming is a dying business. What? Both PC and mobile markets are growing by any reasonable metric, and consoles are propelled by stellar Switch 2 sales. The gaming market…

Nah, if they reinvested realized profit they can still be in the green overall

This is not true. Both model and chat are censored; the resistance to answer some questions is baked into the weights. This is not specific to Chinese models though, Western ones a…

What makes you think they have less resources?

There is a branch of math dedicated to (among other things) truthfully estimating the waiting time, called queueing theory. I wonder why it wasn't mentioned in the article.

They probably will, but not for US customers.

I'd argue the money spent for yachts and donations were a drop in the ocean compared to what they burned via Alameda and lack of whatsoever accounting.

> Crypto certainly isn’t doing well now. This "not doing well" is being three times higher than at the time of FTX collapse.

I see the vision here, which the top commenters (sorry, couldn't read all of them) seems to miss. This should be a moonshot bet on the next generation of user experience. People ar…

Nothing special? I mean, inference engine might need to get some tweaks, to support whatever compute is available. But then, if you put a few terabytes of disk for swap, and replac…

> They will be, and that moment is not that far off. It's here, right now. I'm running quantized Qwen and Gemma on a decent, but three years old gaming rig (think RTX 3080 12GB and…

No embargo exists (or could possibly exist) in the first place. Linux is open source, so every patch fixing the security bug is immediately visible to everyone. There is no workaro…

What is the current status of the DV program? What will happen with last year's quotas? And another question: has 100k$ requirement on H1Bs make any meaningful impact on applicatio…

It depends on your legal framework. It might be seller's problem, not yours, and 20$ is a price for shifting responsibility.

No one adds MeOH to homebrew. Bootlegging fake hard drinks is a completely different industry, which has zero relation to homebrewing.

I'm not talking about homebrew bootlegging here. It's large-scale frauds where industrial ethanol (which often contains poisonous amounts of methanol, or _is_ methanol) is mixed wi…

Well, I live in a country with both huge distillation culture and significantly non-zero number of methanol poisonings, and they never happen from home brewing. It's really hard to…

Not sure it is true anymore. I've encountered few userspace breaks in io_uring, at least.

Unless AliExpress has a local entity, like they do in some countries, yes.

Fun hypothetical question - will it be restricted to users in sanctioned locations (where it's most needed) because of, well, sanctions?

When U.S. Govt sponsors Tor, which does expose exactly what your describe, the reaction is usually positive.

> This excuse is hollow to me. In an organization of this size, it takes multiple people screwing up for a failure to reach the public, or at least it should. Only if this is consi…

It's expected for Tether to print when the crypto market cap is growing, because most crypto trades in USDT. So you cannot reliably say what is the cause and what is the consequenc…
