I wonder why the US refused. Did MbS's check bounce or is Trump worried about another quagmire before the midterm elections? Will MbS place a phone call to Pakistan National Command if his oil shipments get distilled for too long?

GOODY-2 is a new AI model built with next-gen adherence to our industry-leading ethical principles. It’s so safe, it won’t answer anything that could be possibly be construed as controversial or problematic.

Possibly - I've heard anecdotal reports that old Intel Optane chips are in hot demand right now. Intel/Micron probably would have made a killing if they had kept that product line alive for a few more years. Never miss an attempt

Agree - the 128GB Strix Halo is capable if you use LLMs as assistants , but it's not so good if you use LLMs as agents (or worse, agent teams/swarms) since all of the models that can fit on it are pretty dumb compared to fronti

I've always marveled at fines that are well below the culprit's proceeds. If you can drag out and minimize a fine, is it really a punishment or just a tax/cost of doing business? Imagine that I am a bank robber. I rob the ban

I don't doubt that Claude Code is full of security holes (even with Mythos assistance) given its 100% vibecoded reputation, but this seems to be more an attempt to get Chinese users to migrate to Chinese products than a serious securit

There are plenty of FAANG (and adjacent Big Tech and FAANG wannabe start ups) staffers that burn $10k/month or more on Claude tokens. Just ask around if you're in Silicon Valley. $10k/month * 36 people = $4.3m per year. $1.3m

This seems to be an implication of the current market. Since most humans (and thus most consumers) use a phone or tablet as a primary computing device, it's unthinkable to make a consumer software UI that isn't mobile-first or tou

No, it doesn't. Most workstation replacement laptops (notably including MacBooks) don't have touchscreens. While things may be different now, Windows 8 got panned for trying to put touch elements into a desktop UI. Windows 10 and

Yes, that's the de facto style guide of American news sources these days. If China does something innovative, then it's dangerous, irresponsible, scammy, and/or fueled by IP theft.

I never really understood warrant canaries. Wouldn't they be still vulnerable to rubber-hose cryptanalysis? An attacker could coerce you to continue updating your canary as if nothing had happened.
