Any damn LLM can write a peom about being in space. Or about anything else, for that matter. I just don't get how the comm latency is supposed to be tolerable for inference. Training, OK - the availability of power is worth it. Inference, we'd a be better off each using our local GPU with a quantized LLM. Then they would only such power when are using them, in distributed fashion, preserving individual sovereignty, and practically no latency at all.

There is currently no US entity called the Defense Department.

is when the sun is straight up (or as high as it goes). Midinight is when it is straight under your feet (or actually, as low as it goes). As long as you keep that in mind, in my experience, it's OK to live in a pretend timezone. You go by the clock, but as long as you pay attention to the Earth and sky, you will know what time it really is.

"...that would qualify as a crime if perpetrated by a person.". Guess what? In a legal sense, a incorporated business is a person - that's the idea anyway. It can own property, take actions, etc. I just don't know why they aren't punished similarly. They always seem to get off with a fine. Why not put them in jail? (Or some equivalent: suspend operations?)

I read elsewhere - don't have the link handy - that the bots were restricted from using HTTP POST requests. But old wiki software and bespoke code actually used the GET to post data. So the restriction was naÃve. Ironically, any coding agent tool could have pointed that out, I imagine...

when are corporations going to realize that I don't want my data leaving my stuff? i opt NOT to use my security cam "view from your phone", NOT to control my home's AC from an app, I keep my ancient robovacuum running because I opt NOT to provide my wifi internet to support a newer one that requires it.. now GoPro providing a receiver that loads my video to a server farm? so typical, and NO.

I find it sad that she left coding at all if she cared about it. She says she feels empowered to be able to build again. Then she was dis-empowered by leaving something close to her heart. For what? To be an exec? If she cared about that, she would have felt empowered all these years.

Optical disks ARE digital; the physical media IS digital; what is this talk about "all digital", it ALREADY all digital!

âoeAudio fingerprinting works because small differences in browser versions, operating systems, audio libraries, and hardware can produce slightly different results...â. And I am left wondering, what results? What can the web site read back - is it recording the output back through audio input? Are there other arithmetic reaults that can be read back? Timing? Why the article does not ANSWER THE OBVIOUS QUESTIONS?

"Back in 2000 Slashdot interviewed one of the presidents of SCO. "... THAT is the real stroy here! Remember when? Not even having 64 bit Linux? Linux not having journaling file systems? Most importantly -- Slashdot polls CHANGED every week??

In any case I find 4G more reliable as the 4G signal is always stronger than the 5G signal, particularly in the countryside. When I have 5G enabled, my phone switches to it if it's present, even when it is unusably weak and distant. So I keep it disabled.

"The fund employed a risky strategy of borrowing money to purchase stocks." In middle school - 13, 14 years old - we ran a role-playing game to learn how the hollow and foolish technique of margin buying led to complete disaster for investors in 1929. They don't teach that anymore? I mean, how can the fund's participants let this 25 year old idoit lead them down that path?

If you have internet service to your home, or "cable" TV, you probably still have a lanline available to subscribe to - either coax or fiber.

who cares whether it is the fastest for AI workloads? there are plenty of other workloads. this machine is fastest at HPL benchmarks - and that represents important applications. frankly, i /am/ interested it is made with home grown cpus and interconnects.
