There is a reason I qualified that with "open source projects for AI."

Toasters will fly (again) before Nvidia's graphics tech gets open sourced.

Nvidia has been a pretty big supporter of open source projects for AI over the last half-decade or so. Many of the company's technologies are open source, most notably their open-weights model, Nemotron, and Dynamo, their inference serving and distribution framework. So it would be surprising to see them do anything to close off the Hugging Face collection. If nothing else, keeping it open is in Nvidia's own self-interest. The frontier AI companies themselves are all designing their own AI chips (e.g. OpenAI Jalapeno, Meta MTIA), which reduces the amount of Nvidia hardware they need to buy. Whereas smaller operations using open source models will inevitably pair those with commodity COTS hardware, which is where Nvidia reigns supreme.

Correlation is not ..grw!!!!!

Epic added a Linux build target to Unreal Engine 4.1 in 2014. And since UE5 in 2020 the entire development toolchain has been feature complete in Linux. Meaning you could make your Unreal game on Linux and then release it natively for Linux (and Windows/consoles/mobile devices/etc).

So while Epic has not been the best supporter of Linux, they have not been ignoring it, either. The core engine is ready. What's left is that the anti-cheat software (Easy Anti-Cheat) and the store need to catch up.

Epic looks to be hiring to improve the anti-cheat situation as it currently lacks kernel-level support, and this latest announcement indicates that they're working on getting EGS running as well.

It's a good thing that no one has port 5900 exposed to the internet unless they are an internet server in which case they had better shut down high ports as a matter of course.

CORRELATION IS NOT ... Oh damnit, You know already.

The police tactics are all about making sure that no police officer is ever harmed while performing his duty. If that means that innocent people are cuffed, jailed, terrorized, even shot and killed, so be it. No officer was harmed. Perfectly executed.

It doesn't mention that the manager makes minimal wage with no health care. He's going to be hard to replace.

Considering Excel encryption/protection has been broken on every version of Excel from day 1, if that is what they are relying on, I think their security consultants may need some training.

The article makes no mention of the source. But everything about this sounds like it's just the CAM release from LuCY. Which has been available for around a week and a half now.

In which case, yeah, the only thing novel about it was that it was posted to a more publicly-visible website.

Does everything these days have to be "AI" to be a news item? How about: Research group were given massive compute power via free so called "AI servers" to search the Linux Kernel for security problems.

Xbox 1 emulation is in a so-so place right now. Xemu has pretty good compatibility (80% or so), but it is very, very slow.

To date no one has been able to develop an Xbox emulator using high-level emulation, so Xemu takes a low-level approach based around QEMU. Which makes the computational requirements much, much higher*. To the point where there are plenty of games that run at half-speed (or worse) even on the latest CPUs. The current emulators are heavily CPU limited (and to just a couple of threads at that), and CPUs aren't getting faster very quickly these days.

So if Microsoft has an emulation environment with much lower overhead, then that is a significant development. Because even with third-party emulators available, most games aren't currently fully playable on them.

* LLE extends to the GPU as well. So a lot of cycles are burnt emulating parts of the NV2A GPU and its 25 year old peculiarities

The mechanism is speculation. Speculators are trying to find the next "big think" that they can buy on eBay and sell for a profit before it ever gets shipped to them. NOT JOKING. It's speculators buying and selling to speculators etc. etc. etc. No real fans are involved past maybe the initial round of price hiking.

So, how was the sample chosen? Is that 55% of people who said they used to post? Or everyone who rarely posted in the first place? What about new posters who were not even around when that group was posting. ARGH. And remember, it's not a fact, it's what people now want to SAY about their habits, considering the media coverage about internet addiction. ARGH AGAIN.

Next will be women, and then non-whites. Anyone else see where this is going?
