For what it's worth, Nvidia's drivers have always sucked pretty bad, going back to the RIVA TNT2.
Compared to AMD's drivers, and ATI's before that, they have always been far and away superior. AFAICT, AMD still can't do drivers, but at least we have the option of FOSS drivers which work on Linux. There are no Nvidia drivers worth a shit on any platform today, except for CUDA.
Yeah, I'm sure IBM didn't intend for business customers to buy the PC.
Wait, what?
Many people incorrectly think of proxies and VPNs (especially VPNs) as a security and privacy enhancement, but unless you're operating the proxy/VPN server yourself they're just as likely to be a massive security and privacy risk. The problem is that they concentrate all of the traffic you'd most like to keep secret in one server, and depending on exactly how the system works, may require installing software on your local machine with ~root permissions. If the operator is malicious, this is a really dangerous combination.
These are useful tools for location shifting and -- in fairly rare cases, and with VPNs only -- from hiding traffic from malicious. But third-party proxy/VPN services should always be viewed with suspicion. Obviously this is even more true when the provider is Russian... though it's pretty likely that wasn't made clear to the people who used the service.
Just how insane he is.
Not insane at all, just uninterested in the well-being of anyone other than himself.
That's what insane is. Basic principles of morality "Do no harm" and "Take action to prevent harm" mean nothing to someone who is insane.
Sanity and morality are orthogonal.
How so?
A person can be sane and immoral, sane and moral, insane and immoral or insane and moral. "Orthogonal" is perhaps a little too strong, since it implies the absence of any relationship, but certainly all the combinations are possible.
In your case it might simply be that there was not enough of this kind of tasks in the training data.
But yes, they should make it clear about which price will never go up!
Since the consumer only cares about the amount they pay, any reasonable person would understand that's the only number actually being discussed. Amazon should simply not commit fraud, and AGs should simply prosecute when they do. But they're not in the business of protecting our interests, which we know because they almost never prosecute wage theft (which exceeds all other theft combined.)
Of course if you're going to arm then apple is currently about the best option.
Not going to ARM is an even better option right now. Let them get that ecosystem sorted out so that every platform doesn't need a special snowflake bootloader first.
Disney is the dumbest of manipulators. They find a trigger and they push it, and when they see it working they make it their whole identity and just keep pushing it. When baby-yoda-we-didn't-know-was-named-grogu-yet used a force power for the first time it was neato because of the reveal. But after that it's just too convenient. This is a problem star wars had always had. Force powers become easier or harder to use when it's necessary for the plot. Problem is, the modern writers aren't smart enough to figure out how to work it out, and whoever's deciding what makes it into the scripts is a poor gatekeeper.
The argument isn't between protecting and not protecting, it's between having humans or computers in charge. Ofc it's not surprising seeing the Naziyahoo clones get things wrong.
Indeed, anyone who can write a headline like that should be prohibited from posting content for a year.
This being Slashdot, I presume they'll be promoted to head editor instead.
This site has really just become a massive trolling operation. They just troll us for engagement.
There's a very high likelihood (Amazon shenanigans or not - there is inflation to think about!)
No there is not. A price is a price. If the price goes up because of inflation, that price still went up when they promised it wouldn't. The problem wasn't inflation, it was a promise they had no intention of keeping.
Because Nvidia can't write a Linux driver worth a fuck to save their lives.
I have two Zen3 PCs, a desktop with Nvidia graphics and a MiniPC which of course has AMD graphics. The MiniPC is flawless. The desktop has issues resuming from suspend — occasionally gives no graphics, switching to a VT sometimes works, sometimes restarting X will graphics working again but sometimes not, suspend with a graphics-heavy application running and come back and it's usually hung and graphics won't work correctly until a full reboot, etc.
If your use case involves Nvidia and Linux and it's not headless, you've got a bad plan.

Except for trivial cases I don't think that is really true yet.
I agree in general, but not with this strong phrasing. I've let AI build a good amount of non-trivial code. But my consistent experience is that it works best when guided by an experienced coder who can correct it, and when implementing well-known algorithms rather than coming up with novel solutions.
Example: I let it write up a quadtree implementation in a language for which there was no ready solution online. It took 2-3 correcting prompts to get a good result. I could've done it myself but it would've likely taken a few hours to get it all right instead of the half or so hour it took with AI. The important part for me was that there's nothing unknown in how to implement a quadtree. All the AI needs to do is take the 100s of existing implementations and translate them into a different language.
