Was anyone else bracing to read about a local ordnance that reclassified a data centers as a type of park (...for the AI to play in, duh)? My brain officially only understands "up"…

Is "release the Mythos" the new "Snyder cut" chant? And also, chant is a lovely name that was skipped over. Especially for the models that won't stop sounding like a broken record.…

Yup, the name is a bit of a misnomer at this point: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/enhanced-h264... What you really do is disallow everything save vp9...

I figured, but all I knew for certain was that it did not advertise it. Maybe it was silently presented in silco but lacked the software bits. It's a pretty big omission considerin…

I believe h264-ify still does. And many of the fancy "remake YouTube to not suck" extensions do as well.

You are 100% right! My mistake. It is too late for me to edit my previous comment. But I appreciate the correction.

There are fairly mainstream devices with decent Vulkan support but poor hardware decode coverage for the codecs people actually get on the web. Polaris era Radeons have H.264 and H…

1.5 Billion? Less than that 1.776B slush fund.

Since we out here doing ad hominems: if you don't think the code you wrote a few months ago is shit, you're already cooked, and judging by that comment, I'm betting you're crispy. …

I do believe we call that a pilot program. If it is legal for 50, why not 5 million?

If this works out then 2027 might actually be the year of desktop Linux... but like in the saddest way possible.

The GamersNexus arc is such a YouTube success story: from a dude uploading videos, to superbly rigorous methodology in top tier hardware reviews, to occasional news summaries, to j…

Getting so close to good! I consider Gemma 4 31B (dense / no MoE), the new baseline for local models. It's obviously worse than the frontier models, but it feels less like a scienc…

I'm sure Andreessen thinks about your well-being just as often as you think about his! I agree poking fun at someone's appearance is low (and this is particularly savage), but it i…

That is your problem right there. Instead of PCI compliance you needed that sweet, sweet IBM MCA compliance. Rookie mistake by your AI; otherwise it did a flawless job, and the gla…

Everyone seems to be objecting to the arithmetic error, but what’s more interesting is the underlying assumption: that “Sergey Brin owes $50B” is so morally dispositive that it wou…

A country is not a house. Conflating the legal framework of a nation-state with the etiquette of a private living room is a category error. As John Locke demonstrated when refuting…

Yeah, because the American ideal of our forefathers was FAFO? This is embarrassing to admit, but I miss the halcyon days when folks were still nominally pretending to be free speec…

And I'm 100% sure they will stop there... Yup! No evidence to believe the contrary.

Is this panel (Gould/Clinton, Nguyen/Obama, and Bennett/Trump) a standard pull for the ninth? Considering how many judges are in the ninth: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_S…

During the 8th gen they made an i7-8086... Hopefully Intel hasn't fired that person.

Are launch costs really 10x!? Could I get a source for that? In the back on my head this all seemed astronomically far-fetched, but 5.5 million to get 8 GPUs in space... wild. That…

1. It's a moral good (free as in freedom). Wider Linux adoption makes software more free for everyone and creates a feedback loop: more users means more engineering effort, which i…
