A colleague of mine working for Motorola patented encrypted memory sometime in the 2006-2010 timeframe. Maybe Motorola figured out that AMD was violating their patent and negotiated royalties privately with AMD. I don't know; I don't work at Motorola, but if AMD had to suddenly start paying royalties, it makes sense that they'd remove the feature from lower end, lower margin processors.
My Slashdot experience has been that "networking" is considered a 4 letter word.
Last I checked, networking was a four-letter word, and those letters were CCNA.
Inertia, plus distrust with anything new.
Especially when this particular "anything new" is the subject of pending copyright litigation. See Doe v. GitHub.
I always wonder though what recruiters and HR folks think when all their applicants all seem to fall well short of their requirements/
Probably to the effect "We failed to poach the people who developed this framework in the first place. Can we import some immigrants, pretty please?"
> Meta doesn't really know how to do anything else with any skill.
They don't know how to do Facebook very well either: it's been pretty much stagnant and enshittified to death for the past 22 years, and it feels like a forum for greying people whose greying friends haven't bothered to move on either, or to get the date of the next annual meeting of the bridge club.
just turning off the stochastic sampling when they want deterministic output
How long can you trust that the operator of the server offering a particular LLM wll let you continue to choose a seed?
one of those companies whose sole purpose seems to be annoying you by slapping their name as a watermark on a generic image you'd like to use in a meme, and force to spend 10 seconds finding somewhere else because you were never going to pay a stupid company to remove their mark on a bad picture you can find everywhere.
I wonder how those companies still exist, let alone make any money.
Anyway, the modern way to use copyrighted photos for free is to ask stable diffusion to regenerate it, because the AI companies have done all the data stealing for you and repackaged the stolen data into "models" you can use for free.
His hand written "artisan" code is being turned into machine code by a computer anyway.
A compiler is a deterministic process that runs locally on a modest home computer in reasonable time without needing an expensive NVIDIA GPU, doesn't regurgitate memorized copyrighted code from its training set, and doesn't boil the oceans in a datacenter for training plus use.
I'm guessing gift cards were handier for unbanked and underbanked people, such as teens who earn a cash allowance or earn cash from yard work for neighbors but aren't old enough to have a bank account in their own name.
Use BlastEm, a Mega Drive/Genesis emulator by Michael Pavone whose nightly builds recently grew support for 32X, an accessory that bolts two SH-2 CPUs onto the Genesis.
My browser should have zero knowledge of what a filesystem is.
If your web browser didn't store a session identifier in a small file called a cookie, how would Slashdot's server know that you're logged in as ArchieBunker (132337)? Otherwise, I'm not sure where you've mentally drawn a line between cookie storage and "a filesystem" proper.
Before Rust can save Linux from AI, wouldn't someone need to save Rust from AI first? The Open Slopware page claims that LLVM's LLM policy requiring a human in the loop is overly permissive.
The second link (pharmacyknowhow.com) redirected to an advertisement for "Lust Goddess", which appears to be a lewd video game. I opened the link again and it redirected to a page on Amazon selling a cultured pearl necklace.
Prescription medications sometimes do harm. Even so, many drugs prevent far more premature deaths than they cause. That's why we have national drug regulators: to evaluate evidence as to whether each new drug is safer on the whole than leaving the condition untreated.
