Comment Re:Google is a Monopoly (Score 1) 91

By threatening the news sites in this way they are demonstrating that they are a monopoly.

Possibly, but it also demonstrates the news sites haven’t worked out a business model that works without Google. So, if they are dependent on Google, it’s either an equivalent exchange or they should be paying Google? Right now neither entities are paying each other.

Comment Re:What is an AI focused chip? (Score 1) 107

Maybe you've been missing the money Nvidia is making hand over fist with GPUs that are really great for AI tasks?

An AI-focused chip is going to contain more of the same on their SoC to make the desktop more capable at running AI tasks and not require offloading to an external service...

You are still not answering the question. What sort of operations is Nvidia AI processor doing?

AI can take on many forms, including knowledge bases, neural nets, statistical analysis and even “I’ll call this algorithm AI to satisfy marketing”.

Also the timing will more or less align with the release of the M4. This reminds me of how Blackberry announced their upcoming tablet would trounce the iPad, then the next iPad was more powerful, while the Blackberry tablet came up short.

I’d like to see Qualcomm push the capabilities of the ARM based systems, since it would just help the architecture as a whole. If we can even get game developers coding and optimising got it, on Windows, then that would also be a win.

But here is the problem even as a first pass it is bad as a first pass. Let's do a first pass and I get somebody who has rigged the paper to pass through the system. If we see a B or even an A and assume the system assignment is correct then we have a false negative. Thus if this happens often enough what then? How can you trust a system that has that? You have to read each and every one of the papers, which puts us right back in square one.

Comment Boeing, but not Boeing (Score 3, Insightful) 182

In this case as much as Boeing is having issues, the engines are mixed responsibility of the engine manufacturer and the airplaneâ(TM)s maintenance crew.

At the same time, this suggests maybe a bigger culture issue when it comes to aircraft construction and maintenance? Is this a quality issue first or a cost cutting issue first?
