Their monetary losses are insubstantial compared to the gains in power they will receive from further weakening the influence and power of the average person.

That drop largely just cancels out the numbers since November. If it drops further then it indicates a general souring if market opnion.

How am I supposed to scan a QR code sent to my phone… with my phone?

Why… would anyone use this? There are plenty of other perfectly capable free word processors…

Perhaps there is a better term and I should be more clear, but people know, roughly speaking, what “new” does, even “active” is fairly straight forward. They are literally algorithms but not what people are talking about when they complain about “algorithms”.

When people complain about the “algorithm”, in the colloquial sense, they’re talking about some nebulous unknowable method of sorting that only the people at meta and alphabet are privy to the details of, not the literal definition of the word.

I should have chosen my words more carefully but I think the point stands, there is a marked difference between a system where it is clear to the user how things get sorted, and the home, discovery or “for you” systems of major social media sites.

Depending on how you browse, it was not algorithmically recommended. Even if you’re using “active” to filter, it’s barely an algorithm. Certainly not a personalized one, unless you’re just looking at the subscribed feed, in which case the personalization was done by you, not the formula.

That’s kind of the appeal of this kind of website, when there is automatic sorting it’s very straight forward and user mailable.

There is this interesting push and pull with algorithms, they need to show content users will engage with, but, their main value to the companies is that it allows them to easily manipulate what is seen.

They push people to hard they stop using the algorithm, but if they just let the algorithm act purely one what people engage with, then they can’t monetize it.

There is a third access of preventing people from going down self destructive rabbit holes, but they don’t care about that until people start talking about regulating them or start moving away.

I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!

Well not that shocked actually.

I think that meta might have pulled some stings as well because it was sucking younger user time away from instagram.

Nor will it even work, because, like, it takes two to tango. Ukraine can just… decline to sign what ever agreement Putin and trump cook up.

It’s short sighted and obviously doomed to fail. Europe and Ukraine are not on board, so all this will really do is give the trump administration a way to kill aid and support for Ukraine to make Putin happy.

Previously there was an obvious cap on the value proposition to scaling data centers, mainly, that they needed population centers nearby who would need storage or processing for thin film devices. Latency is important for these kinds of things, so they need to be near to the demands

Now they think they can make value regardless of demand from local population, through training weights for models, or running models and sending the output to population centers. So suddenly the cost of power to run the systems is what matters, and the most profitable (not the cheapest or most efficient) is fossil fuel.

They see dollar signs with the opportunity to turn power directly in to value without the need for people nearby.

It’ll be really embarrassing for them as the consumer market continues to fail to show interest in the outputs they’re making.

There definitely has been some scalping, but also, just, not a huge amount of inventory available (like sub 100 units available across cities with populations in the millions). A bit of a paper launch TBH.

TSMC only has so much throughput available and NVIDIA has other products they’re selling that they can make better margins on than consumer GPUs. I’m a little surprised they launched at all given how few they’re shipping.

I wonder how much of launching now was to generate buzz to get studios to adopt methods of rendering that work best with with software, make it harder for competitors to compete on hardware.

I mean, he’s struck “independent Taiwan” from gov websites, so makes sense he’s working for china as well.

At this point systems that need it are probably a couple decades old at least.

But I’m sure there are people out there who are using some ancient system/program because it does what they need and don’t want to buy a new license or pay for a subscription. Guess they’ll just have to stick with the older versions and keep their systems offline to avoid security issues. Or just emulate an older system when they need it.

I mean, I think he knows that, but, is being diplomatic and not trying to create undue fuss with someone he hopes to coax back in to being an ally.

Is he naive in that belief? Perhaps. Is he choosing not to pick a fight because he’s already got a big enough one on his hands? maybe.

So, thing is, photos don’t prove anything about the relative movement of the aircraft, and people are notoriously bad about judging such things from the ground.

Now let’s apply Occam’s razor, it’s 1990, what secret diamond shaped objects might have been flying along side a RAF harrier? Perhaps, say, an F-117 night hawk from the USAF doing joint training? A highly secretive aircraft that only flew its first combat sortie in 1989 and wouldn’t be widely publicized till the 1991 gulf war. An aircraft that likely would have been flying along side the RAF in the case of a hot war with the Soviet Union, and thus would have had reasons to have joint exercises with a harrier.

That might be a bit niche to pursue. Like the mobile gaming device market isn’t that big, and devoting their limited resources to a niche product seems unwise.

Would be cool if they did, especially if they partnered with Valve to launch it with steam OS, like valve did with Lenovo.

I can’t imagine they’d release a new chassis unless it was something radically different to their existing form factors, and even then, it would have to be a fairly big market sector, since they’re not really big enough to target anything niche.

Replacing an existing chassis would require that they continue developing and releasing new upgrades for the existing chassis in addition to the new one, or make all the internal parts interchangeable with one of the existing chassis, both options seems like an R&D nightmare for such a relatively small company. If they just dropped upgrading the existing chassis… well… that would kind of be counter to their ethos.

They’re probably not releasing a whole new model of laptop, and if they are, it’s probably a specialty design, like a steam deck or a surface as other’s have speculated.

If it’s new components, you can probably drop them in if they interest you.

Stellantis at it again.

Jeep has been owned by Stellantis for a while now. I suspect this is less an internal idea from jeep but the larger company rolling it out and seeing what they can get away with. I suspect that this will also roll out in their other brands as time goes on.

The other brands include

Dodge

Citroen

Chrysler

Fiat

Alfa Romeo

Opel

Ram trucks

Vauxhall

Peugeot

Maserati

Lancia
