- Privately-owned companies can provide better value to their customers. They can invest in customer trust and brand value that pays off over decades, not quarters.
They can also choose enshittification, but they are not pressured into it like companies with institutional investors are.
As a Hetzner customer, I would lose out if they went public.
- Intel i5-9350, UHD Graphics 620, Windows 11 v25H2
Completely unplayable. It runs fine at first, and then suddenly drops to below 1FPS for no discernible reason. This happens regardless whether I am on the world map or combat scene. I am running the exe, couldn't find the browser version.
On an unrelated note, I am surprised to see a JS program working without the usual 200MB NW.js runtime (as seen with RPG-MV)
- Events include:
Early in the war, Starlink used their killswitch to prevent Ukraine from utilizing their service for military purposes.
The sitting US president has threatened war against Greenland. He has not backed down or apologized, merely moved on hoping we would forget.
You'd have to be crazy to pick Starlink under these circumstances.
- In other words, Apple complies with paragraph 18 of EU-Directive 2024/1799: "manufacturers are to provide access to spare parts, repair and maintenance information or any repair related software tools, firmware or similar auxiliary means."
This directive applies EU-wide for all devices sold after 31st of July 2026. Some countries have earlier deadlines, e.g. devices sold in Germany after 20th of June 2025.
I'm glad that they didn't try to delay it for the better part of a decade like they did with USB charging ports.
- It's not a fixed split. I don't know if it's possible live, or if it requires a reboot, but it's not hardwired.
I want to know if it's possible. 4GB for Linux, a bit of room for the calculations, and then you can load a 122GB model entirely into VRAM.
How would that perform in real life? Someone please benchmark it!
- There's been some theories floating around that the 128gb version could be the best value for on-premise LLM inference. The RAM is split between CPU and GPU at a user-configurable ratio.
So this might be the holy grail of "good enough GPU" and "over 100GB of VRAM" if the rest of the system can keep up.
- It seems alarmist until you consider that Musk is a Nazi. He did the Hitler salute, live on national television. His followers tried to downplay it, but his own answer to the question "Are you a Nazi?" was "I bet you did Nazi that coming!"
People joke that he went from being the Henry Ford of our generation to being the Henry Ford of our generation.
I don't know whether I would say that Trump is a Nazi*, but the fact that he put a Nazi in charge of firing govt employees that don't follow orders does not bode well.
EDIT: * If only because he has never publicly admitted to being a Nazi like Musk has.
- >Saddam had no WMDs, nor intention to gather them - and we should have known that. We didn't do our due diligence
As the saying goes, "It's obvious now in hindsight that NFTs are a scam, but to be fair, it was also obvious at the start, and in the middle too"
The US and their allies did do their due diligence. They knew with near-certainty that he didn't have WMDs. All the 'evidence' was purely hypothetical (e.g. he could evade detection by building mobile labs inside semitruck trailers), hearsay from known-bad sources, or outright forged.
Saddam was bad, but no worse than the dictators that the US is neutral or friendly towards.
If OpenAI steals all your work, that's copyright infringement - but if you tried to stop them through technical means and they do it anyway, that's felony DRM circumvention.
