Because it fell to the floor a short while after being unveiled, so, if the teacher in the "humanoid robot classroom" were reading the grades outloud would say: "Adol, F"

Nickels also cost more to make than the coin's worth, and the dollar bill deteriorates so fast, that a coin replacing it is the best option.

the 2 dollar bill can take it place in stipers thongs, as the minimum note.

Also, for coin operated vending machine convenience, ramping up minting of half dollar coins would be prudent.

Today, we are gonna learn how to bypass al security safeties with simple hand tools. We will need a breaker bar, a torque wrench and our safety glasses

I was the NOC sysadmin, later, manager for Value added services.

The closest I was ti compiling was for verifone terminals before the telco job. The compiling on the PC was fast enough. Dumping the code into a POS to test because the simulator was shit was the real bummer.

That and the frequent defrag/optimization of the machine.

I would start working when I walked through the door, Since my machine was only mine, I'd turn it on on mondays, endure the 20min boot + Opening of apps (+ Memory dumping process*), and turn it off on fridays, ah, good times

* After booting and opening all your "workworse apps", you would call a script that would request 85% to 90% of the total RAM of the machine, forcing everything to SWAP. Afterwards, slowly, things would come back from swap, but only the really usefull stuff, all the flaff (codepaths seldomly used, if at all) stayed on the swap. Made a huge difference on Win2000 and XP, less so on latter editions, as the memory manager was slowly refined.

cue some enterprising developer hoping yo make a name for him/her-self making a FOSS to extract the old Icons from online installers and re-implementing them under coarse and fine grained control of the user in 3... 2... 1...

Even Smaller than CAMM2, and slighly higher performance. And replaceable/upgradeable!
What's not to like? SOCAMM 2 is a Datacenter technology that would favourably impact us on the personal computer world. So, bring it on!

As an OpenStack technical trainer, I do not oppose the cloud per-se. but AWS and MS are "moar" interested in investing untold sums of money, effort, and grid energy to train AI models, than to bulleproof their instances...

I also oppose moronic companies that put all their cloud eggs in one basket...

I derive a lot of utility from the helium used for MRI machines. As a guy who likes to eat potato chips, I derive much utility from nitrogen gas. As a scuba diver I derive much utility from Pure oxigen for my 32% and 50% stages. As a guy who had two ventral laparoscopic surgeries, I derive utility from pure CO2.

Crypto? AI? AWS and AZURE falling over their own shoelaces? .... not so much utility there.

YMMV

If you can not do inference (not training, inference) on the device (for any definition of device) or can not wait for the data to arrive to a Hyperscaler Data Center, doing said inference on the shelter at the bottom of a mast, or failing that, the DataCenter where the regional 6G core is incarnated is a perfectly cromulent position to perform said inference.

Since 4G, and even before, we had ML on Telecommunication Networks. I can distinctly name 4 and 5G SON (Self Optimizing Networks), some preemtive alarm detection and correction in the Nokia NMS Subsystem, and when I was teaching CEMoD 16, we also had many of those. Changing the name of all that to AI, and stoping doing it in a system agnostic way with OpenCL and SYCL, and start doing it in a propiertary way with CUDA/nVIDIA only is a great way to attract 1 Milliard of fresh money, so congrats.

Also, I guess that possing as an american company when the company is ~75% European is great for the press releases.

As for nVIDIA, we all know that AI is a bubble, the questios are will it burst? will it deflate? when will that happen? nVIDIA is using their inflated share price to buy something that will not deflate or pop, just boring organic growth, driven by 6G (the digital G that will last 2 decades, instead of all the other Gs, that lasted 1). Good for them to diversify with cheap/inflated money. I'd have done the same.

Their rivals must be thinking why didn't I think of this first? and rightly so. Is an easy way to achieve a solid win-win for BOTH companies.

AOL transitioned from mostly ISP with some media to mostly media.

tons of old anime and other low res media is on youtube. up until now "something" was doing the scaling to 720p, 900p or 1440p(my current monitor). And this will be easier to use than the ringlamore I had to do until now with LossLessScaling (which I love).

So, great, thanks

Mod parent up.

Not only in the USoA. Worldwide too. I can vouch for this being good in Venezuela (my country) Spain (lived and did my Master's there), and Colombia (lived and worked there)

Are you insinuating that the portal port done by valve themselves to mac, and which became the basis of their port of portal to linux was a bad port?
