   > I-Soon and Chinese police are investigating how the files were leaked

   Well, I can tell you that. They were hacked by a competitor after loosing a goverment contract to i-soon.

   I guess I'm on some kind of list now...

   What is that?

   Do you mean scams that start on tinder? Pig butchering?

   This looks interesting, but I wish the author have included some pictures from the inside.

   There are some decent handheld emulators based on an old Rockchip design. If someone can make a more powerful model in this format I would happily buy 3

   I have realised the no service will have all the books. So why not pick one that has more local authors and comes from a company that treats their workers and authors a bit better?
5. kramerger Mar 6, 2024 parent

   The issue with audible is that authors have to be there or they don't exist. Even if the pay is crap, you "have to" be on audible.

   I don't see how any competitors could break their dominance as long as the authors give in this easily.

   I listen to audiobooks quite a lof and some yeargs ago I moved to a different service (storytel, its a European thing). If they don't have a book, well I get it from another source that is definitely not owned by Bezos.

   > but it doesn't really refute any of his core assertions: they still have the appearance of abandoning their core mission to focus more on profits

   They don't refute that, but they claim that road was chosen in agreement with Elon. In fact, the claim this was his suggestion

   This is desktop only.

   Linux is market leader once you bring in mobile, embedded and so on.

   I think it would be more interesting to keep quiet about this and monitor what type of information this backdoor is used to access.

   The counterintelligence that would give you should be far more valuable.

   This blog post could have been written by me. This is exactly how I feel, on all accounts.

   Hope this doesn't mean we are in a cult ;)

    I wonder how much the winzip and winrar guys made

    He was probably high on something when the idea that AGI competes with Nerolink came to him.

    You know, the same way he decided trains are evil because they competes with his cars.

    Eh, have you tried vscode lately?

    Some of the official extensions install code from random places like that.

    Really? I was very impressed with Rebecca Ferguson as lady Jessica. The first 10 minutes was worthy of an Oscar.

    Out of curiosity, why would you ever need unsafe code in go?

    Android started this way too with media libraries being updated first.

    So fireing everyone working with spam issues and shutting down automated spam detection tools to save a few bucks has nothing to do with this?

    I know C, python, Go and Rust reasonably well and Go is usually my default choice for a new projects.

    Well unless it's just a quick script, in which case Python will do just fine.

    Tried Scala while learning Chisel and hate it from the bottom of my heart. It's like Kotlin on bad drugs.

    My point is, people are different.

    The AMD Ryzen strategy has always been many but less powerful cores.

    Single core performance is only useful for artificial benchmarks. And even there Apples lead is less than 2%.

20. kramerger Feb 19, 2024 parent

    > specifically efficiency

    AMD is already significantly faster than M series, and has been so for a long time. Efficiency is the only place Apple still has an advantage

    The LKM post mentions binary size improvements.

    One issues I have had with Rust applications is the huge binary size (yes, I know this has improved a bit lately). Is there a good comparison between kernel C and kernel Rust code in this regard?

    Wasn't Spotify world leading before first iPhone was announced?

    (ignoring illegal alternatives obviously)

23. kramerger Feb 16, 2024 parent

    I've seen that one. Better than nothing, although 119 feels still a bit too high for a $30 BOM.

    What do we know about the company behind this?

24. kramerger Feb 16, 2024 parent

    I was hoping to see a much cheaper alternatives (say $20-30) but is yet to happen. After all its a fairly simple hardware with a tiny bit of RF.

    But maybe discussion about banning it will push creation of some alternatives?

    This is very limited to mac, which was really tiny during that period.

    The rest of the world looked very differently at that time, and compared to mac had much better development environment.

    Now you are rewriting history :)

    Turbo Pascal was responsible for the Pascal success. And then came delphi along and somehow lost against Visual Basic.

    This has been going on for a while. It is surprisingly easy with some brands

    > a Tesla shareholder tweeted that

    I think they simply wanted the most click baity title. They are contradicting themselves in the other article

    How can this be the first death?

    Tesla is involved in 700+ court cases covering multiple deaths [1]. Tesla drivers are involved in more accidents for some reason [2]. I suspect the first death happened far before this.
