how different from a "big crunch" is a black hole?

I guess Ubuntu is moving away from the gnu license. which has served it well for many years. Remember when Bsd unix had a license where companies could copy it and not contribute back to the source. Apple took that and ran with it. I wonder how much was lost to the world when it was relicensed under Apple's license. Ubuntu is going to the MIT license, which is nice, but not as nice as gnu as it doesn't require keeping any improvements open.

âoeIncrease Ownership âoe is corporate speak for âoeyou have more responsibility and more work for the same payâ

But it sounds empowering and cuddly!

We pretend to work and theypretend to pay us‘ welcome to the Soviet Union

See where that ended

What is the definition of cannot pass through? Would the copy that is trying the pass through be blocked in some way?

I want to be able to walk up to the screen of a game and see the fly that just landed on a spectator's nose./p

Given many views inside a house, such as all the frames of a walk around video, i want software that can build a set of images of each wall, floor, and ceiling, in that house. Then i want software that can produce new views inside, at new designated angles that were not previously shot. If the input is fully complete, then the output should be, as well. most of the AI would be in scanning the input image frames to "understand" how each frame is shot. I have done this before, manually, a couple times, and merged the images. I think AI should be able to do this, to the extent the input covers.

Regular TV had a set of commercials every 1/2 hour or 15 minutes. Youtube has commercials every video, sometimes 4 minutes of commercials, and sometimes during videos, and the creators can only support themselves by having sponsors so there is another block of time going to a commercial. In order to watch 1 hour of youtube you must watch 2 hours of youtube.

I remember when Microsoft used to innovate and iterate on their existing products. Their UI components were a core part of the operating system and everything was instant fast. Now, anytime someone with enough political capital wants to take a product in a new direction, they're required to build something new rather than improve what exists, and everything is an encapsulated Chrome rendering and has just enough lag to drive someone familiar with "the old times" a little crazy.

No it was an MP4 of Titanic . They watched it during the long boring descent.

Surely for dev purposes and testing and some document analysis. Apple also makes the Mac Studio a Mini which, if you give them enough RAM, kicks butt with AI. Expensive, but still the cheapest option for the performance

I have a MacBook Pro and a Ryzen with a 12Gb RTX under my desk. The RTX is surely faster with AI, but the Mac can load much bigger models with 48Gb of RAM. The secret sauce is that Apple shares the GPU and system memory, something intel’s old PCI architecture has problems with

The laptop also runs at about 15% of the power of the RTX for 60% of the performance. You do the sums.

If Apple takes this to a low power high performance AI server they will eat NVIDIA s breakfast.

The problem is the same as it always have been. The skills needed to acquire power do not align with the skills needed to exercise power

You can't have a wifi device that doesn't phone home because the manufacturer keeps the price down by selling your data. While the fee per user may not be much, in aggregate it allows them to reduce prices enough that nobody can compete without doing this. It's been tried quite a few time with seversl different types of device, but the increase in price to pay for not selling your data is more than most people are willing to pay and so none of these attempts were successful. So if you want a wifi thermostat that doesn't need an internet connection you'll have to make one yourself because nobody can make a profit from making one for you.
