So they buy up the machines, likely create supply issues (add waiting time etc.), then rent them out at premium?
People are outraged landlords doing that with housing.
Yet someone such rent seeking behaviour is acceptable?
Get fucked.
Probably AI came up with the naming scheme ;-P Maybe they used Gemini for that or copilot.
That incentive works both ways. For instance employee sneaking in a security hole and then selling it to a mate so they can collect the bounty.
Should be given $5-10million under NDA. No headlines.
Indeed, it's like "here peasant, have this fortune of $5,000, may it change your life". Pathetic.
Isn't that the same with e.g. human brain? Computer program can compute billions of equations, whilst human will struggle with just one.
Imgur is not available in the UK due to censorship.
Here they offer no finance for over £5k. Crap.
I bought a laptop for a relative and didn't realise it doesn't have touchscreen. They complained for a day and I often saw them try to touch the screen and then being disappointed it doesn't work. Week later they never mentioned it again and use the laptop just fine.
When I was buying them a second one and asked about touchscreen, they said they don't care anymore for it, so second laptop also was without touchscreen.
I like how I can see its screen quality on my screen.
It's not justifying an upgrade. Shame there are no finance options for M5 Max 128GB.
What is this for? I cannot understand these models. They are very much polluting the internet with nonsense and use capacity that people and businesses need for actual work.
If these are the cause of why I have to pay 2-4x I used to for a computer, then Google should go fuck themselves.
Because these are normal instructions.
If you do multiplication using mul instead of loop and add, is it acceleration too?
Why is it still called SIMD-accelerated, if these are now just normal instructions. You just have to take a little bit more effort into restructuring your algorithms to make use of them.
Well, if we didn't have corrupt regulators, Google would have been fined out of existence ages ago.
That said it will be interesting way of exploitation. If you want to find people who have certain email content, you can serve them ads manipulating them into taking an action. Like buying a scam product / malware.
They could implement Grapple Store and then clone most popular apps.
They guess the next token based on probability which is derived from training data.
Many exploits are used by security services, so this gives time to wrap any investigations or surveillance or find another method of accessing target servers.
If AI "uncovered" it, that means it was already in the training data and likely exploited in the wild.
Why they can't publish an expoit so people can run it against their own servers to check the impact?
I think people in the West have little experience living under totalitarian regime.
Typical ways of overcoming censorship is creating own lingo, so that it goes past censors or distribution of physical leaflets, underground press and organising resistance offline.
That reminds me of hotmail's 50GB limit that cannot be changed. This created so much pain for some non-technical people I know (missed important emails, then having to spend days deliberating what to delete etc)
How can I download the model to try or am I misunderstanding something?
Probably simplest solution is to keep current behaviour and get a second iPad for notes.
The comparisons with models like GPT-5.6 or Opus are pointless because they vary substantially. They are often nerfed shortly after release and then performance is not consistent. One day model will be doing relatively fine, another it will be dumb as markov generator. In that regard self hosted models are better, because you know what is running your requests.
> In that context, I no longer feel inspired to contribute to a commons that’s being strip-mined by massive corporations
Open-source was always strip-mined by massive corporations. It was main source of free labour for decades.
Unfortunately there are always people willing to subsidise these corporations with their time for a badge of "honour" and few pats on the back.
Great to see more people awaken to the fact corporations thrive on unpaid work whilst making billions for their shareholders.
I am yet to see this trickle down wink
> The public needs to believe it, and hypertechnical solutions are a hard sell.
Public doesn't need to know the details. Production of paper, printers is quite complex and so production of the pen. Yet people are not concerned about that when voting and we don't publish schematics of a printer that printed the ballots.
> Please note that even on fast computers this program struggles to simulate the C64 hardware at real speed. A real C64 is simulated at 31% of its speed on an Apple M3 Max, 39% on an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 (Gorgon Halo), and 48% on an Apple M5 Max
Key takeaway is why FPGA is still useful. Even modern CPUs can't handle certain seemingly simple data processing tasks in realtime.
Remember when we were dumbfounded why our service is slow despite having implemented quite robust caching mechanism. Turns out simply the flag that enables it was hardcoded to false. So it was minor update (changed flag to true), but provided substantial speed up.
