Re:Apple reports fourth quarter results on Monday November 02, 2026 @07:08PM (#50346151)
But those few extra grands of revenue at the cost of millions in design and inventory to support that product

Not to mention, at the price apple is selling their 27 inch display, i am doubtful anyone buying them want to make do with the base M chip. But if not the base chip, that will add even more inventory cost

I thought this cert only recently gets trusted, so only newish but not too new devices would be vulnerable. Am i misunderstanding how this works?

$299, up from $129 of the last gen. I am not sure how many people would still buy this?

Re:Thelio Mira AI Linux Workstation: 192 GB GPU Memory on Thursday September 10, 2026 @09:38PM (#49652518)
This makes Mac Studio with 256GB memory look cheap in comparison. More memory to store weight at a quarter of the price!

> If the same record is changed in the file system and in Route 53 at the same time, we aim for last-write-wins. This is not strictly possible, since Route 53 does not expose modification timestamps on records

Except route 53 provides a fully ACID transactional API you can build your own locks with!

Thinking generates a ton of tokens. These baked in chips tend to not have a lot of memory for context. I am not sure taalas supports Thinking at all.

The more problem like these they solve the more they will look like GPU.

Geekerwan's review is up, with caveat that this is the prototype board, not even packaged into a phone yet, but still shows some amazing results in spec 2026, 3dmark (gpu), perf-per-watt for single core and multi-core https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCCJuOopLK8 (you can turn on YouTube auto-dub)
Re:Anthropic Claude and API service outages on Monday August 24, 2026 @04:11AM (#49416625)
If this incident had happened during the day I could buy that argument. But it is happening in the dead of the night. Are there really that much people scheduling claude runs over-night, taking more capacity than day-time? (assume most claude users are west coast programmers)

My other guess is they are scheduling training runs and their capacity isolation is bad.

What i hear is that electric door handle is more of a manufacturing cost-saving measure than an aerodynamic saving.
Re:FCC moves to ban Lidar-equipped foreign drones from US on Sunday August 09, 2026 @04:25PM (#49235440)
I am sure if the US gov asks DJI to do those things they will be happy to comply. They are just here to make money.
I hate this because my parking space, both at the company and at home, are not getting any wider or taller. I chose to purchase my EV6 over the Equinox EV, despite the Equinox being significantly cheaper, mainly because latter was too big (and also worse driving experience).
Re:Are AI Labs Pelicanmaxxing? on Wednesday July 22, 2026 @04:40PM (#49013118)
I don’t quite agree. Good human artist can visualize in their mind how to draw a picture, i think. Which i think is no different than LLM doing SVG drawing in their “head”. Anthropic’s recent post call this head-space “workspace”.

It just might feel foreign to human who does not have a SVG trained head-space.

I imagine all vision models have to do this, this being html rendering, to be able to do well in web design.

Why not? Look at the silicon valley AI researcher salary. There’s no way Chinese researchers make close to the same amount.
It’s CXMT (memory) not SMIC (logic)

I don’t think the backend matters. It’s the frontend wrapper that makes or breaks HA.

It’s 2026, why can’t credit card and merchant figure out a way to transmit order summary URL as part of credit card transactions so I don’t need to match up transactions by amount??

It’s also interesting that Cursor (that spacex is acquiring ) also just announced yesterday they are training in colossus.

So who’s using it? Is spacex just renting out parts of their data center? Or is cursor done done?

Re: on Thursday May 14, 2026 @02:50AM (#48131955)
The interesting thing I find is how Anthropic has been more consistently improving over time in the last few years, that allows it to catchup and surpass OpenAI and Google. The latter two have pretty much plateau over the last year or so. GPT 5.5 is somehow not moving the needle at all.

I hope to see the other labs can bring back competition soon!

Does it not depend on what the feature is?

Is it theft if a company stops supporting TLS 1.0 clients that were previously supported?

What about upgrading service to only support a new form of authentication, breaking some clients?

What if the new authentication can only be done by locked down official client?

What if the company never advertised support through third party clients?

Re:Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract on Tuesday May 12, 2026 @01:10PM (#48111152)
Before: user can print via cloud or locally with custom slicer at the same time easier.

Some time in 2025: firmware updates make user choose between cloud XOR locally. Enabling local mode allows using custom slicer, but disables cloud printing or monitoring. Folks were up in arms because they wanted both, and openness.

Latest fork: a specific new custom slicer impersonates UA to submit print via bambu cloud, so it gives the pre-2025 experience.

Bambu sues this new fork. Actual OrcaSlicer working locally is fine.

Is it really failing more, or we just don’t hear about failure happening elsewhere?

Last i heard azure outage it wasn’t even on HN frontpage

That seems fine as long as they can show lower volatility than market while still being close in return?

Did they?

LLM are a text prediction engine. Starting the prompt with “you are a helpful assistant” help make subsequent text prediction more in line of that of a helpful assistant.
