That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
Pretty good article; a nice overview of recent developments.
I also agree with their conclusion; avoid American commercial entities whenever possible. The culture of corruption and criminality is simply too deeply rooted among the executive class and it is highly unlikely that there will be any true anti-corruption reform in the next ~20 years (I hope I am wrong).
No idea who the Maguire fellow is, but since he works for a large American VC firm, the piece about “coming from a culture of lying” is clearly projection.
I wouldn’t go that far, both LLMs and other ML technologies clearly have novel use cases (unlike crypto where the only use cases are financial speculation and crime).
The issue is that AI promoters/conmen are knowingly misrepresenting the capabilities of their services to benefit from pump and dumps (case in point Microsoft and OpenAI agreeing to define AGI as any service that gets $100 B in annual revenue).
This wouldn’t apply to Debian derived distros (e.g. DietPi). I am assuming the fix will backported to the version of sudo shipping with bookworm.
With that in mind, the DoE hopes microreactors could be used to power small, remote sites, with an eVinci described as a possible power source for a remote datacenter. The Radiant Kaleidos, meanwhile, is described as an alternative to a diesel generator, being a similar tractor-trailer-mounted size while being able to operate for five years without needing refueling.
Alternative to diesel generator does not inspire confidence.
I support nuclear power, but not litering the landscape with random small scale reactors that may or may not be well contained.
I wish this was true, but it seems to be more tied to polticial matters affecting supply chain.
the eVinci is designed to only produce 5 megawatts, and the Kaleidos is limited to just 1.2 megawatts of electrical power output.
Why would you even develop nuclear solutions with such a low output? There is no way people are going to be OK with casually moving these trailers (e.g. to a datacentre). If you’re using nuclear, you might as well go big and develop gigawatts of power.
486 were generally better up until Pentium 2 came out.
No way. Late stage Pentiums were markedly better than 486.
My parents bought a Pentium 1 133 mhz with Windows 95 in late 1996 and it worked great (for the time)
At my parents work they had an 486 with Windows 95 and it was noticeably less responsive. It was not a fun experience. I don’t remember the exact model number of the 486 (I wasn’t even 10 years old back then), but I do remember Pentiums being generally much more performant than computers with 486. From memory, 486 computers generally ran Windows 3.11 and were not upgraded to Windows 95 (keep in mind that everything was pirated, licensed Windows copies among business users was more of mid-2000s thing where I lived).
My first CPU was a Pentium 1 133 MHz in late 1996. I didn’t build this particular PC though (that would come later). So I do have an appreciation for 90s (and even 80s) motifs. :)
Arrow Lake is also a pretty cool name. Arrow Lake Refresh; not so much.
I bet the performance uplift will be within the margin of error (so below 5%).
However, leaked performance Geekbench figures of the GB10 may disappoint. When it comes to general-purpose compute in Geekbench, the GB10 is close to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and near Apple’s M3 processor, based on the leaked scores.
Seems like Nvidia ARM CPU is pretty mediocre. The price of this PC definitely won’t be mediocre.
I see where you’re coming from and I generally agree.
That being said, there is a time and place for everything and this is not a serious thread.
It’s the truth though.
How is OpenAI going to pay $30 B a year, Oracle agreed to get paid in OpenAI shares?
What’s not clear about this comment?
This is all bullshit. Greenwald is a fascist oligarch shill.
Even the single thread passmark result is decent, I expected it to do worse on a relative basis considering the headline.
No senior executive (especially in a public company) would be willing to publicly admit this.
I am assuming the fix for the second vulnerability will be backported to the older version in bookworn; 13p1 if I remember correctly.
I’ve seen theme backport security to older releases of much less important software.
