I could probably store ENTIRE windows 95 in the CPU's L3 cache!

Frankly, I'd like to install Windows 2000 or NT 4.0 on my Ryzen box.. It probably flies at 32bits without all the clunk "modern" Windows has.

It's probably amazing!

Imagine how windows 95 would fly on a modern CPU.

These old OSes ran great on less than 100 Mhz and with 8 MB of RAM!

"Modern" OSes seem to struggle with 32GB!

As the astrophages reproduce they form petrova lines into the star eventually blacking it out so that it looks like a Black Hole.
The "Black Hole" becomes massive because it's full of astrophages.

I know because I red a book about this.

I would be good if OpenAI's tool would handle self isolation automatically.. rather than have access to everything by default.
There are many OS mechanisms to accomplish this.

US high school education prioritizes sports and high school musicals.

Great for winning Olympics and other sporting events. Great for actors and Youtubers.

Not great for science. And now the science strongholds in Universities are being threatened by funding cuts, and by blocking the qualified immigrants from other countries that were helping prop it up having had much more demanding high school educations in science and math.

So my question is how is DeepSeek censored (when you run it locally)? Was data about Tianamen Square ommitted? Was it fine tuned to censor? Did they touch the neurons directly to turn it off? LoRA?

Yeah.. to the average consumer I think they'd want features like this for cell phones and security devices that could be stolen and hacked to obtain private info.

But for laptops or PCs (AMD's main market) I think this scenario is a bit less interesting. Since it only seems to help against physical attacks. We're usually more interested in protection against malware.

People diss agile today because they don't remember how it was before Agile, and how teams that actually succeeded kinda sorta did something like Agile. Agile wasn't adopted by software companies because it was some new religion. It was often adopted because software companies were already "cheating" and Agile just set a framework that could make it work and not feel like cheating anymore.

That being said, successful companies cheat in Agile too.

What's going to replace Agile is some methodology where the new AI tools are going to interconnect to make the team much more productive.

Fidelity hiring 5000 juniors to replace their 1000 seniors .. hmm.. frankly that's not going to work.
Sounds like an idea some MBA came up with to "save money".

Sure.. this is what the big players want.

They want models locked up so that there can only be a handful of players, and no open source models or foreign models can be use.

Create a myth about the 'dangers' of mythos and scare the government into heavily regulating. Winners: OpenAI, Amazon/Antrhopic, Google, Microsoft.

Losers: Open Source, Deep Seek, any new comers or innovators.

The biggest actors in the hacking world are governments. Countries like: Russia, North Korea, Iran, but also the USA and Israel. Probably others as well.

So the fact that some kid was able to access so much info is quite worrisome. If he had worked for the NSA they would have paid him nicely to hack, but since he did it on his own (or unknowingly for another government) he's going to jail.

The biggest threat to cybersecurity these days are governments!

Checks out.. I've never seen a fat python.

Sure they did.. they laid of 10s of thousands of employees because they needed to free funds for building data centers. They aren't cheap. And the spending is totally bonkers. No Google, Amazon, Meta, etc.. can afford such an investment without consequences.. so they free up cash by dumping people and cancelling "non-essential" projects.

100s of thousands have lost jobs at this point to fund this.

My hope is that in a year or two the fever will end and they will start reallocating the money to people again. Once the winners are decided.

Russia is protecting Khamenei's son as well.

Iranians that support the regime, support it's campaign of brutality that has been affecting so many Iranians for the last 50 years. Most Iranians in the West escaped or left because of this. But many have family and friends there and know first hand of the sufferings the people have endured.

It's an evil regime, no question about it. They aren't heros. They are people that enjoy mass hangings, torture, rape, and a long list of atrocities that have been long documented.

(that being said.. that doesn't mean the US has shown and smarts in the current War. It's not clear it will lead to anything but more suffering. I hope I'm wrong)

For the US to win there has to be regime change.

For Iran to win, they merely need to get the US to quit attacking them. Then they can continue their purge of opponents and terrorizing the population. They get to keep their power. Which is all they want. And then they can plot a terrorism campaign against the west.

Right now the US is looking weak for reacting against every threat that Iran makes to the gulf states. And the US's inability to secure the Strait. And it's fumbling with it's European allies (that it has spent the last year antagonizing and now wonders why they don't come to their aid).

I'm no military strategist, but unless they can think up something really crafty, their only option is to pour an immense amount of money into this, invade parts of Iran and secure the straight.

Does the US population have the stomach for another protracted war? Will the unconsulted Congress even approve of the funds for that? Certainly the US economy would not react well.

It's a mess.
