I'm not sure I see the issue. Is there something wrong with them reporting on Ukraine's Kursk region? Doesn't seem like an illegal border crossing to me.

Two can play at this game.

Their GPUs are already bricks. Just throw the GPUs.

Hey look, the classic "America bad" comment on a post critical of China!

Are these people bots or something? It's possible to be critical of both at different times.

While I agree, it makes connecting to localhost as easy as http://0:8080/ (for port 8080, but omit for port 80).

I worry that changing this will cause more CVEs like the octal IP addresses incident.

Edit: looks like it's only being blocked for outgoing requests from websites, which seems like it'll have a much more reasonable impact.

Edit 2: skimming through these PRs, at least for WebKit, I don't see tests for shorthand IPs like 0 (and no Apple device to test with). What are the chances they missed those..?

Imagine how different the story would be if they compensated people for this data. "10% off Geforce NOW if you let us use your gameplay footage as training data!" (for example)

This is obviously cheaper and there's way more data to train with, but it just continues to skirt a line in copyright law that desperately needs to be tested.

Honestly, regardless of what happens to Intel, I'm hopeful for Qualcomm providing a real alternative in the CPU space, especially an alternative as meaningfully different as using an entirely different instruction set. More diversity between competing products in the space can only be a good thing since it gives consumers more meaningful choices to make when deciding between products.

People talk at the urinal?

GN's charts usually compare against a few gens of somewhat comparable products, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 12th gen CPU or two on the charts. I'd also expect to see some 7000 series Ryzen chips and maybe a 5000 series one. I believe they normally include these older gens for people who skipped a gen or two to see what they'd get out of an upgrade.

I don't know if people have just gotten meaner over time or if that is how it has always been, but there are a lot of people who are very unpleasant to interact with, both on and off the internet. It can be stressful trying to interact with new people because it's a dice roll on whether they're friendly or condescending.

Anyway, just my observation. I don't know if that has anything to do with social media, but it wouldn't surprise me I guess.

Your lack of imagination

I don't know why you think these ideas were mine, but I do work for a rather large company that has invested a lot of resources looking for solutions using these models. These ideas came from people far smarter than I.

The rest of your comment has so little to do with what I said that I'm inclined to believe it's AI generated.

You're right. Once it settles into its niches and the hype dies down, it won't be overhyped anymore because everyone will have moved on.

I've been working with generative AI for years now and we still struggle to solve real world problems with it. It isn't useless or anything. It's way too unreliable, and this isn't one of those things where time will solve it - it's being used to solve problems that have no perfect solutions, like human interfacing and generating culturally-appropriate and visually-accurate images. I'd expect it to improve at those tasks over time, but the scope needs to drop from every problem humanity has ever faced to the problems that these models are good at solving.

As much as I dislike Nintendo, the Switch is an excellent console despite its hardware. It's no surprise that it's been as popular as it has been for so long. These days though, there are a lot of competitors in the handheld space that have much better hardware, so it really maintains its position due to a combination of branding and the game exclusivity.

I'm curious what their next console will be. I probably won't buy it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was also a huge success.
