Seems like plenty of people at NVIDIA would work harder not to let their products get into the wrong hands if they would feel pain when they failed.

Dell who couldn't identify the product before Apple, decides they can solve the same problem how they always have. Good luck with that Dell.

The only way the "old guard" tech are still around is by momentum and (customer) memory loss.

as they want to believe. They're just the psychopath in charge. The front man.

Surely by now.

Those CPU extensions for creating a separate area that is secure. The ones Intel removed from consumer CPU's which broke playback of 4K bluerays on desktop PC's from that point forward.

Meaning partner, children, friends, etc... can all hear information ahead of time too. Just think Nancy Pelosi's husband who seemed to beat the market reliably.

It'd certainly help everyone move to versions that are secure if the insecure versions would turn themselves off. Meaning the creator/publisher would remove approval for easily broken/hacked versions, and after a few warnings would disable/block the broken versions from running at all.

Yes, I'm aware of issues with this pattern, but it still sounds "more secure" than what's typical today (relying on each separate developer to decide to upgrade).

Be honest about the purpose, and measure if you reach those goals.

Public school is "free" babysitting. Indoctrination. Forced "socialization" (break their wills). All to create useful cogs. Serfs.

Oh, and keep our mental health medical providers in business with plenty of early trauma and victim blaming.

"The 26B Mixture of Experts model activates only 3.8 billion of its 26 billion parameters in inference mode, giving it much higher tokens-per-second than similarly sized models."

Isn't that a 3.8 billion parameter model then? Created from the 26 billion version. Or do they mean it "mostly" sticks to 3.8 billion parameters.

That's the other side of the coin that some people likely don't want to happen.

And isn't insurance kind of like betting or gambling on an outcome eventually happening? Rather than a specific upcoming moment's result, the fact a result is likely to happen or not.

It should be publishable monthly.

Less frequent information is not better for the public. It's better for the companies.

Can't remember who's phone finally did this (OPPO?), but they'd add a hash to recorded images captured with the device. To prove this is what was recorded from the sensors, not a generated or modified data file. Guessing at the firmware level to try to make it harder to fake, and depending on how it was set up you might even be able to confirm which device captured it (would be nice if you had to already know the source ID to compare against a device, with yes/no answers).

Yes, there are issues to iron out before it could be a generally assumed useful tool. But trying to "identify what is real from the beginning" seems like a better solution than "finding what might be fake" (some of the time, after some reputation damage was already done, and sometimes creating false positives marking real images/videos as fake).

Then we could create methods to connect the original source material (for measured/recorded authentication) with any customized versions (cropped, filtered, etc). Maybe even with a numerical estimate for how likely this is a likely starting point for the result file, and how it was created (to recreate it by other people if they don't want to just trust the source).

Sure, I can see how for most typical voting (winner takes all, after picking 1 answer) people about to vote might adjust their vote based on current results. Lets ignore situations like the US where different states seem to announce their own results at different times (which already breaks this goal).

But ranked choice systems should negate any benefit of doing so, right? No need to manipulate the positions of entries hoping not to "waste" your vote. They keep removing the worst off candidate, and swap whoever had voted for them to their next best option, until someone gets enough votes for a majority. Maybe confusing at first, but a bit of labor could improve that (have individuals walk anyone through the process before voting if confused).

I'd rather have a voting system where everyone can do the same validation/checking process for the results (as well as confirm their own specific votes are correct). Maybe with a slight delay in publishing/sharing to enforce plausible deniability, to prevent intimidation or retaliation (aim to get at least one vote for each option before combining and publishing in-progress results?).

Anything less than "fair by design" seems like asking for the powerful to cheat the rest of us, and for anyone who loses to claim fraud. That by arbitrarily picking 3 or 5 people to have the power to read results you're limiting how many people must be compromised to cheat, not eliminating the chance of cheating.

Making something important to all of us, a secret from most of us, seems like an anti-pattern somehow. Where one goal is the antithesis of the other. And I'm talking about the case where this is our collective decision, not the ability to fire a nuke (with a secret code/process).

(Haven't spent time to confirm, but it reads as plausible) This is Google's AI explanation for...

What does live nation "open sourcing" their ticket sales model mean?

"In the context of the March 9, 2026 antitrust settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Live Nation "open sourcing" their ticket sale model refers to a requirement for Ticketmaster to open its technology platform to competitors. [1, 2]
Rather than a literal release of software source code, this "open sourcing" is a structural change intended to end Ticketmaster's exclusive control over the primary ticketing market. Key aspects of this model include: [3, 4]

* Standalone Ticketing System: Ticketmaster must provide a product that allows third-party companies, such as SeatGeek, StubHub, and Eventbrite, to sell primary tickets directly through its system.
* Inventory Sharing: Venues are now permitted to allocate a portion of their ticket inventory to rival platforms rather than being locked into Ticketmaster for 100% of sales.
* Ending Exclusivity: The settlement caps Ticketmaster's long-term exclusive contracts with venues at four years and prohibits the company from retaliating against venues that choose other distributors.
* Increased Competition: By allowing other sellers to plug into the same technological infrastructure, the DOJ aims to lower service fees and provide more choices for both artists and consumers. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

This move was described by senior Justice officials as a way to create an "open marketplace" and provide immediate relief to consumers without requiring a full breakup of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. [2, 3, 9, 10, 11]

Like a purposeful attempt to cause the judicial system to consider all the implications of the precedents they're setting with other decisions.

Or they truly believed they weren't stealing anything. That they either didn't imagine the old code could be used during this recreation, or they were careful to keep things separate and just haven't spent the time to explain all the ways (maybe to not give opposing lawyers anything to prepare from).

But yeah. It's hard to believe this general process should be seen as moral. But moral and legal are often two very different things.
