Development feeds into distribution however you do it, so, at some point you have to deal with that.

In secure software distributions like Debian, each package...
* has the contents vetted and tested.
* is signed using a key that is associated with a physically verified person.
* may depends on other packages with the same requirements.

There have been no malicious packages in the Debian software distribution system which means there absolutely is a difference.

Neither of these systems were designed to be secure software distribution systems, they were designed to be repositories for software development. Idiots decided, "hey, let's also build and distribute software using repositories meant for software development" and it went to shit as they should have expected. It bears repeating, these are not secure software distribution systems. Everyone needs to get a grip and stop pretending that they are and thus stop using them as such.

Nobody in the entire thread could be arsed to actually read the blog post but not far in they tell you...

An open source Vulkan driver on Windows opens up a number of possibilities: a shared codebase across platforms, easier debugging and experimentation, faster turnaround on fixes, and a path for the community (e.g., game developers) to report problems or contribute improvements that benefit everyone regardless of operating system.

Ignoring the fact that price fixing is a federal crime, they seem behave similarly to businessjerks with anti-social personality disorder (psychopaths). Is this really the future people want? It doesn't matter, the actual billionaire psychopaths are certain to be thrilled to have machines that are willing to be patently evil on their behalves.

The demand is real... whether they can scale the workload down to actually make money remains to be seen.

Realistically, they simply need to increase the price which solves the over-subscription problem and expense problem.

Long term there are major benefits to society if they can drive down the cost of energy, cooling, and computational infrastructure to support democratized access to LLMs and diffusion models without bankrupting providers.

At best, that is wishful thinking.

I would just settle for a decent search engine that didn't require me to go to page 3 of search results (and forcing me to verify that I'm a human for daring to click to page 2 of the search)

plastic bottle has a raised or imprinted RIC, so they would need to run a separate manufacturing line just for bottles being sold in California.

Where did you get that idea? The issue isn't stuff at the bottom of a bottle, it's what's on the label.

Doesn't that sound at least a little bit silly?

Your argument is what is silly because nobody has complained about the plastic identifier under the bottle. This is all about what's printed on the labels.
