Hindsight bias.

The industry believed 15 years ago that ASML would fail to make EUV work.

Re:The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disk on Wednesday April 03, 2024 @01:34AM (#39913940)
Article says 3M exited floppies because it was retail oriented very low margin business.

But how is Scotch Tape not that too?

Re:From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @04:00AM (#39903347)
What would be the problem of downloading a few MB more, aren't these source tarballs just used to build the distro binary and then they are deleted?

Never forget the video where Marc was asked what is Web3 and he spent 5 minutes talking gibberish nonsense.

GitHub has the feature of downloading the tree as a zip, why is this not used?

Depends on the width of the radar beam. They are certainly not thin like a laser. It might not fit in the gap between the blades.
Some tools scan for crypto algorithms, typically by searching for the magic numbers, Ed448 is so new many tools probably don't recognize it.

Malware authors frequently change the crypto magic numbers to prevent detection.

You can do it on a single machine if you use the TPM to create log hashes which can't be rolled back.
You're talking as if securing a backdoor with public cryptography is some unimaginable feat of technology.

It's literally a couple hours work.

Re:LLaMA Now Goes Faster on CPUs on Monday April 01, 2024 @06:32PM (#39900182)
You're using the wrong CPU.

Consumer AMD 7950X supports AVX-512, it's faster than M2 Ultra at half the cost.

Re:Documentation for the AMD 7900XTX on Sunday March 31, 2024 @08:16PM (#39889530)
I learned that AMD GPUs have layers upon layers of drivers, in user space, kernel space, and drivers running on the device itself.

Isn't HDCP/DRM implemented in ASIC hardware? There is nothing programmable there.

Neurons are not on the germ line, whatever happens to their DNA is not passed down to your children.

There was another article in the recent years about neurons using RNA or DNA for storing information related to their activation patterns.

Isn't that what happens in antibody germinal centers?

Re:Memories are made by breaking DNA – and fixing it on Thursday March 28, 2024 @06:25AM (#39849458)
Neuron's DNA is not passed down, it would be quite logical for evolution to use neuronal DNA for weight storage.
Re:BeagleY-AI: a 4 TOPS-capable $70 board from Beagleboard on Thursday March 28, 2024 @02:02AM (#39848187)
For scale, Microsoft requires 40 TOPS to certify a (consumer) computer as Copilot capable.

I've once got 000000. If you do the math it takes about 1 year to cycle through all million of them, assuming no duplicates.

Which makes me wonder, what's the expected repeated distribution?

They offer services like store fronts. This might require them to sell your stuff and accept credit cards on your behalf.

There was an article quoting someone close saying he wants to be President and world first trillionaire.

Control of AGI could certainly give you that.

This seems the key part

Assange is a russian agent. He's not a journalist.
Russia foreign minister (Zaharova) continuously asks for Assange to be released, mentioning "freedom of speech".

Assange has building size graffiti murals in Moscow.

VoiceMeeter and it's macro buttons can do that.
Imagine how much electricity will be needed to replace 1 billion jobs with AI in the next 5 years.
Chlorine destroys viruses. That's why they put it in water.
Where does Spotify say "our music is 100% organic human sourced, no algos involved"?
