Surely this story, which is essentially true even if the style is propaganda-ish, is evidence that central planning by a communist government does not work. Of course it doesn't work here either, something the trump administration and gop seem to have forgot as they begin to exert control directly in American companies to get them to do things for the king.
I strongly suspect this cheap laptop will be locked down. No root, no exception to only allowing signed apps. This will be wildly successful. If you need "developer" access you'll need to buy a MacBook pro.
Hope I'm very wrong but every version of macos on the last few years has been stepping towards this sort of thing.
The components of a credit score aren't some state secret.
No, they're a lie.
FICO publishes a helpful infographic.
The infographic is propaganda, and answers zero questions about how the factors which make up each group are actually calculated.
If you've truly kept your utilization low and paid all bills on time, you should double check there hasn't been some identity theft.
I have been watching Experian. There hasn't been anything unrelated to me appearing on my credit report, but my score has gone down as I have behaved faithfully and paid off my debts on schedule. Anyone who believes what FICO claims about scoring is a fool, and anyone who then goes on to repeat their propaganda for them is also a tool — and not the sharpest one in the shed.
their AI chips aren't as good at running LLMs as Nvidia's CUDA cards.
Quite, but AMD is *miles* closer than Intel was to being a realistic threat on this front.
This is very true, and perhaps continuing to close the gap is their strategy for defeating CUDA, since they sure aren't putting enough effort in to do it with ROCm. I'd love to see it, I just don't expect it to work. Happy to be proven wrong, though.
ok whats your score, are you living as your true self with a score in the 600s
My score was 790 a year ago. I faithfully have made my student loan payments, paid off a dental loan, and increased my available credit, and my score is now about 720. Credit scores are a scam and basing anything but applications for credit on them should be a felony.
It's even easier to run *old* windows games on *old* windows...
That's true, but you also can't run old Windows on new hardware, and getting graphics performance out of Windows running in a VM is only even vaguely possible with vmware. Virtualbox's video drivers for Windows are shit, and QEMU/KVM's are even worse. Hyper-V's aren't great either. So you have to keep an old machine around for old windows if you want to run old windows games on windows.
You obviously don't work in a datacenter or with enterprise hardware - it doesn't matter what benchmarks you're looking at, large companies are still buying tons of Intel chips
AMD has been outselling Intel in the DC for what, a year now or more?
This investment is ensuring people don't run *any* AMD anything in the DC.
I don't think you know what "ensuring" means
So let’s get this straight: a MAGA true-believer shoots and kills a MAGA kingmaker, and the MAGA-chaired House Oversight Committee’s big takeaway is call in the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit? Comer calls Kirk a “patriot” and frames this as proof of “radicalization of online forums.” What’s missing in Comer's script is the part MAGA refuses to acknowledge: the shooter wasn’t some “Antifa super-soldier” conjured from MAGA fever dreams. The shooter was one of their own -- just read his social media.
Instead of grappling with how grievance-politics metastasize inside their movement, the MAGA nutbars running the Oversight Committee are doing what the MAGA nutbars above them are demanding: find a scapegoat, any scapegoat, and get the spotlight off of MAGA. Their choice? Silicon Valley. Drag in some gaming-focussed CEOs, grill them on their platform's “nefarious purposes,” and hope the ensuing headlines bury the fact that a hate-spewing MAGA mouthpiece was silenced by a hate-filled MAGA nutbar's rage. Let's be clear, here: Kirk spent a decade cultivating that rage. He reaped what he sowed.
and indoctrinate them to turn away from both religion and family values. Now the byproduct of these lies
You don't need lies to turn children away from religion. History and facts will do.
You think the US is going to keep doing elections?
We will have sham elections, like the last one, where there were Russian bomb threats.
Usually SSDs get slower as they get more full. Most SSDs do not have much additional commit space. The amounts have been tested for, we discussed it here not long ago IIRC.
This is my latest attempt: Everybody in society must take two college or trade school type classes
Right now "society" is making it hard to even be a student. Did you know it's harder for a student to qualify for SNAP than a shiftless layabout? If they're half-time or more (usually 7.5 units) they have to meet an exemption to get food aid, while we give it to people who simply refuse to work. (That does not describe most SNAP recipients, but of course it is a percentage.)
The rest can be done by AI or bots
Did you get into the bad crack this morning?
Nvidia does not have any sort of market in the datacenter where Intel competes
*used to compete, since Intel hasn't had any parts competitive with AMD for years now.
Nvidia is also bringing out their own ARM-based servers, so far the point is to run their GPGPUs cheaper than with amd64 but when the AI bubble collapses they may well have to pivot in that direction to keep up DC sales.
AMD is the *real* rival to where Nvidia makes the bulk of their money
Maybe, except that their AI chips aren't as good at running LLMs as Nvidia's CUDA cards.
Apple said they’d never cave,
Touchscreens weren’t their game,
walled gardens are their claim to fame,
But here we are all the same
Come on, come on, come on, come on —
And touch me, babe, can’t you see
That’s the feature they resisted endlessly!
Now OLED shines so bright,
M6 dreams at night,
Steve said “no” back in the day,
But now Tim says we can win that fight
Come on, come on, come on, come on —
Touch me, babe, can’t you see
The market is not afraid, what was that promise that Tim made?
Come on, come on, come on, now touch me babe!
With apologies to Jim Morrison and the boys...
That really the best you can do? Have another go.
Can't really embarrass anyone who supports a holocaust because they're racist against Palestinians.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
