Just because a company is a chain or franchise doesn't mean the prices will always be the same. I pay more for food behind security in an airport than I do 2 miles away down the road. Pricing may be based on location and real estate pricing, local amenities, ocean view, or just being in a rich neighborhood.

This have really nothing to do with LLM or modern GenAI. It would be nice is the prices were somewhat stable (eg. not changing through the day like gas), but we should not be the same. Traditionally prices will rise until it finds a balance with demand. Growing up, the Taco Bell in MT never had the same low rates that I saw on the national ads.

The reporting and write-up are quite good. I'd wager the reporter is accurate. Anyone but Craig Wright.

lower receiver is no longer the hard part to DIY. It's the barrel. they need to start regulating the barrel, not the lower receiver. easy fix.

Oracle is not "underwater" on this deal. The may eventually not be able to derive value from the deal based on their COGS, but all of this is very different than the stock price....all AI is being hit atm.

I have tried using other game management, installation systems. most are trash. GoG is ok. Epic is terrible. MSFT is a joke. They have the market share because they actually build good products.

Agreed, laziness by msmash

If we actually factored in all the downstream cost of gas, including pollution and health care, which are currently uncaptured externalities. Then gas price would go way up, and people would choose EV. ICE is getting a free ride and healthcare is picking up the bill.

Lots of gravity battery options, including dams.

You need to change that title says a decentralized currency like Bitcoin can act as a reserve currency. Most likely a Proof of Stake currency, not proof of work. He is NOT recommending that bitcoin itself be that reserve currency.

Your title is misleading.

This is just old news with a new skin. What is a program, platform or a system? Are you building microservice or monolithic architecture? How does serverless skills like Lamda/Fuctions fit into a program workflow?

If history is any lesson, good luck applying today's terms to tomorrow's architecture.

I work in this area for a big 3 cloud. We are trying to understand how to best describe our platform design. Is each step/skill a modular agent, or do you wrap everything into an agent that represents an entire workflow. If you hit 5 SLMs and one LLM, is that 6 agents or one master agent. It's not really a problem. The language is fluid until we get a better understanding of an agentic workflow stack.

I'm sure Trad AI neural network stacks dealt with similar nomenclature challenges.

We might have an agent that only does OCR. Even current LLM "models" are synthesis of multiple internal steps, including meta-prompting and responsible AI guardrails.

Birds aren't real is kinda genius. This is the type of satire we need in this desperate hour.

Got an Ioniq 5 in Sept. Been planning on switching the primary car to EV for a long time. NACS switch is great; I will be using an adapter on current car (J1772) for the next few years...but wasn't a deal breaker. Car isn't perfect, but very nice. Not an SUV, came from a subaru crosstrek, these are just AWD cars, maybe crossover?...we need a better term.

What put it over the top was the paddle shifting for different regenerative states. Switching to coast for highway or long stretches, then i-pedal for city or stop signs is great. Gives me something to do to optimize...miss my old stick.

I think there is a special place in the underworld for people like this causing mayhem, pain and collateral damage to many...for the lolz, and maybe showing off how someone or some company made a mistake or poor implementation even though they has best intentions (eg banning cheaters). Trolls be trolls, but I hope a comeuppance is on the way. Shame this person didn't learn any of those lessons on the playground. Same vein as a doxxer.

Try building a financial model in anything else but excel..then tracing dependencies and auditing it if there are problems. You just can't do that anywhere else but excel (RIP Lotus 123). If you just need to track details for your PTA then Google sheets are fine. If you need Xlookup and Macros, excel stands alone.

They are the only site with deep articles on CPU subsystems. Is there anywhere else that I can find that same type of Zen architecture research? I will miss them. I can't watch videos for tech new. Long live long form tech content...if Arstechnica goes away, not sure what I will do.
