What he won’t support is them raising prices mostly for Nvidia. TSMC has done this in the past as a clear move to cut nuisance production, and nvidia’s books are full of nonsense orders that they can’t possibly fill. Wei isn’t an idiot, unless Nvidia fronts a lot of cash, it’s unlikely to work out in Jensen’s favor.

It takes an existing logo, an existing background, and some text you specify as input, and makes a single image with all of those elements as output. So I guess once you’ve done the hard work of making a logo and finding a good background to use, this tool lets you combine them with code instead of whatever image editor you used for the existing elements?

To rip off investors. If they pretend to be on the same hype train as everyone else, and lie about what their product does, there’s a chance some idiot will give them more money.

By that measure every lithium battery manufacturer is “little known” then.

Anyway good luck being a large economy with no trade partners and ports blockaded.

Whenever a government or government agency announces a successful exploit, I presume they’ve already exhausted it and moved on to another one that won’t be patched or publicly divulged for many years.

It wasn’t sensible, given the short life of DNA. One of those sci-fi ideas that caught media and technophile attention, but wasn’t ever going to go anywhere.

Project Silica appears to be attempting very high density, very long life storage, though.

He can’t ask probing questions or he’d inadvertently expose the scam. These people are hucksters, plain and simple. Lex is getting that sweet ad revenue from rubes that think he’s asking deep or meaningful questions, and the fact people haven’t caught on to his scam blows my mind.

Joe has a personality. It might suck, but Lex sucks at everything.

You’re missing a TON of history here. Like udev being a dependency to all those projects AND systemd, which led to systemd adding it to their project. Really it could be said that udev is the critical component here.

As you mentioned networkmanager, you clearly know that many popular distros use that rather than systemd-networkd.

Grub2 is by far the most popular boot loader, so far ahead that it’s not even worth considering others. Grub has had several major issues, every distro uses it, why not pick on grub as the risk?

Did you have these same concerns about sysvinit? About the various distro network scripts? What about libc? Good god if there’s a problem with libc we’re all in deep trouble.

Yes, code has bugs. But New code has new bugs (ironically an argument previously used against systemd). Whatever you replace these components with will be just as likely to have a critical vulnerability, but far fewer maintainers and resources to fix it. Systemd has simplified and improved features of so many parts of Linux that it’s funny to see how vehemently people argued against it. Feel free to disable any parts you don’t need, but I think you’re missing 20 years of painful history that led us here.

Well, now there’s collective bargaining to ensure employees are treated fairly. You don’t join a union for the good times, you join it during the good times to help in the bad times.

Time will tell if management stands behind what they’ve said in this letter. I hope it does, but greed is greed and I don’t survive on hope.

Shouldn’t have taken this much. There’s been NTSB recommendations since 2016 that have gone unadopted, and so many early red flags that they could have led a marching band. Like always, as long as the money and glad-handing keeps flowing, regulators and politicians look the other way.

When selling out goes mainstream…

It doesn’t increase connection speed, the downlink to earth is a factor of the frequency and coding mechanism. What these links do is allow satellites to pass traffic between each other rather than down to earth and back up again. The way this works best is if each unit in orbit has data held in cache. That way a request from a customer only makes the round trip a limited number of times.

It can also be used to extend range of in-orbit terminals when they are out of range of an earth based POP by passing that data to a satellite that is in range. But 100Gbit isn’t very fast, so that’ll end up being a balancing act.

ISO standards need to be purchased to be viewed, RFCs are freely available requests for comment. The RFC 3339 format is effectively the same is the ISO format, except RFC 3339 allows for a space between the date and time components whereas the ISO format uses a “T” character to separate date and time components.

If you want to get real weird, RFCs are not standards but rather a request for other participants to comment on the proposal. RFCs tend to be pointed towards as de facto standards though, even before they become a BCP or STD.

Yeah, but he went to Israel to talk to a guy that was willing to trade money for looking the other way! Hasn’t he done enough to sweep this under the rug??

Dude’s outed himself as a POS so many times over the years, it’s a shame it took this long to figure it out for most people.

The only correct format. Least to most specific.

Recent studies show it doesn’t work at all, and has likely caused irreparable harm to people whose academics have been judged by all of the services out there. It has finally been admitted that it didn’t work and likely won’t work.

I’m curious to see what Mozilla will do with the shopping assistant portion. Lots of browser extensions, and potentially even some of the Mozilla sponsors offer these types of features, and if Mozilla just stamps them out all at once by integrating that feature, it might lose them some financial support.

On the other hand, I do hope they don’t start amassing huge amounts of training data from their uses. It would be a real bummer to not have a decent browser option anymore.

I think you mean to ask your question to the original poster, not me. Since I didn’t bring it up, only comment on it. But I get it, you miss your friends.
