Cultural understanding without regulation is just serfdom. That's basically what we have now where most people aren't willing to fight Apple/Google/Meta/MS.

In that case you should be able to create another Google account.

They're not connected to the ASIC so anything on those ports is taking the slow path.

This is how you fill out an application when you know it's going to be rubber-stamped.

The main thing is to never mention AI. Don't say that you use AI and don't leave obvious evidence. Don't lie, but don't talk about AI unless someone asks. Also maybe try to find a community that aligns with your values (

Instead of registering your.name you would register first.last.name (nobody owned last.name). This was intended to allow more people to have personal domains with fewer conflicts. Now, years later, they are undoing it and they're even

Speaking of wrong predictions... the entire US military budget would have to be spent on OpenAI/Anthropic to keep the bubble from bursting.

...get any media presence, because that demands being in front of people quite often, and basically nobody can be insightful and well researched in all topics of the day What? Zitron is getting a lot of media attention by repeating the sa

It seems the same to me; even the naming is extremely similar. OpenAI Codex = Claude Code OpenAI Work = Claude Cowork

Can't every chat app do this now, including SMS/MMS?

I don't think z has been benchmarked in 20 years.

It starts in z mode and can only run ARM code in VMs. start as a regular x86 but then be able to execute code of other architectures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Instruction_Set

The previous A64fx was just for HPC. Monaka looks more general purpose so maybe they will sell Monaka servers.

I suspect it's mostly marketing. People think "I don't want code so I won't use Codex" so they get the same thing but labeled Work.

I'm having trouble decoding this but Tailscale is a VPN that can traverse NAT when necessary. Arguably Tailscale wouldn't be needed if NAT didn't exist but considering the timeline I'm not going to declare a conflict of

They have BMCs in each server but if the BMC doesn't respond they are probably using humans to physically unplug the sled.

Meta doesn't use enterprise equipment (for example the "PDU" is a passive DC bus bar); they've chosen to make a tradeoff between capex and service cost.

It's not entirely clear what you're asking but... AGI, Vera, X2, Spark.

That may be true but the dozens of x86 servers are cheaper and easier to use.
53.
by wmf 21d ago
Because ARM is the future.

by wmf 21d ago
I think Nintendo used Tegra because it was super cheap. AMD has access to the same ARM cores as everyone else (see Seattle and Sound Waves) but a semi-custom chip would have been more expensive than an overstocked Tegra.

The existing 1,000 customers replace their old mainframes with newer models.

The z mainframe team does good technical work but then the high price cancels out all the value of that work. I'm not sure if that counts as innovation or not.

More like QEMU won't contain agents.

AFAIK these "rules" are artificial and there's nothing stopping Apple from having twice as much RAM. They just don't want to.

That model would be larger and more expensive than the entire M7 chip.
