I wonder if this gives them the rights to all of Infowars’ library of footage. Maybe they could “keep” Jones as a host by cutting up old clips kinda how South Park did with Isaac Hayes for Chef’s last episode.

I switched to Thunderbird when they started to get insistent about switching to Outlook.

Disowning current tariffs doesn’t mean they’ll go away, either, though.

Tariffs are easy to put in place, but hard to roll back. You can put then in place on a whim, basically, but then the target country will retaliate with their own. As a result, removing them requires diplomatic negotiation to make sure the removal is bilateral. That’s not easy to do during times of icy relations like China and we currently have.

Still I expected them to try harder this time, because the technologies to develop a good GPU, are strategically important in other areas too

I think I read somewhere that they’re having problems getting AIB partners for Battlemage. That would be a significant impediment for continuing in the consumer desktop market unless Battlemage can perform better (business-wise) than Alchemist.

They probably will continue investing in GPU even if they give up on Arc, it might just be for the specialized stuff.

I believe it actually is used in regular Mint (the Debian kernel doesn’t include it, but it looks like Ubuntu’s and Mint’s do). But yes, I suppose it is still in the process of being adopted by various distributions.

To be fair here, no one’s certain this will be cost-effective either. The new techs make it worth trying though.

As far as I know, Linux ignores NTFS permissions when given raw access to a disk, or rather, acts as thought it’s SYSTEM or some other high-level user, working around anything Windows might have set.

I think that was the case for ntfs-3g.

I’m not certain that’s the case anymore with the new kernel NTFS driver, though I havent tested it. If it isn’t, it should be correctly handling the file premissions.

I’m surprised it’s not mentioned in the article, but also complicating this situation is the Chagos refugees seeking to take control of the TLD and/or receive reparations from the current registrar.

Their relationship had been kind of good until recently as there has been an uptick in dissatisfaction on the status quo of Taiwan’s political status (unspoken independence) — mostly on China’s side, but also from some Taiwanese.

They remain important trading partners for each other, though.

It’s not that it’s a threat, it’s that there’s a difference between archiving for preservation and crawling other people’s content for the purpose of making money off it (in a way that does not benefit the content creator).

MZLA makes Thunderbird. Mozilla Corp makes Firefox. Mozilla Foundation owns both.

Well, first of all, K9 regularly holds beta tests for their new versions before release already.

Being launched under the Thunderbird brand, though, is expected to hit a much wider audience than just K9 users. And being a first impression, they want to do everything they can to make that impression a solid one.

I believe Thunderbird is K9’s current beta, rebranded.

I was expecting idiotic rules screaming “bureaucratic muppets don’t know what they’re legislating on”, but instead what I’m seeing is surprisingly sane and sensible

NIST knows what they’re doing. It’s getting organizations to adapt that’s hard. NIST has recommended against expiring passwords for like a decade already, for example, yet pretty much every IT dept still has passwords expiring at least once a year.

I don’t recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM. That was Nvidia. (though, yes, it likely would also have been prevented if it had tried)

But they’d probably have a better (but still slim) chance of getting a purchase of Intel through. That’d be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn’t make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn’t be anti-competitive.

They don’t mention what the offer is. Very easily could be a stock-based deal where Intel stockholders get a portion of the combined company. That’s how T-Mobile bought Sprint.

GenAI = Generative AI

AGI = Artificial General Intelligence

You are talking about the latter. They were talking about the former.

Nvidia is diversified in AI, though. Disregarding LLM, it’s likely that other AI methodologies will depend even more on their tech or similar.

I guess I don’t really see why generative AI is a necessity for a search engine? It doesn’t really help me find information any faster than a Wikipedia summary, and is less reliable.

In general — yes. Most of the time they do so by subjecting their eyeballs or ears to ads. Do you think it’s a good idea to flood AI models with ads as well?
