Comment More about local processing and faster response (Score 1) 96

The promise of "new space" startups like SpaceX is, that they will somehow be able to reduce the costs of bringing up something into space by multiple orders of magnitude.

With respect to AI processing in space its more about local processing, local decision making, faster response times. It for much more focused and limited work. Not the high volume general purpose work a ground based data center would perform.

Comment BA vs BS (Score 1) 96

BA or BS does not indicate the level of sophistication of the material taught. It simply indicates the curriculum focus. To generalize. A BA perhaps providing a conceptual understanding of the science, a BS adding a practical application of the science. BA programs are more about breadth, BS more about focus.

Comment Maybe difference is apparent with basic science? (Score 1) 96

You know what the best thing about this topic is? Everybody who comments on it thinks they're an expert.

Or maybe it only requires a junior high school level of science, understanding heat conduction and that space offers little of that. That a ground based data center that effectively needs a river for cooling and a space based AI platform being different as a result.

Comment Can emit IR (Score 1) 96

for space... then we have zero problem using them here on earth. Space is cold but is also a vacuum so you lose all of your ability to convectively cool and are reliant on radiative cooling alone.

I expect the AI work done in orbit will be much more specialized. Smaller scale and less cooling demands.
There is radiative cooling in the sense of IR emissions. It more a lack of conduction, heat transfer through physical contact.

Comment Re:Ryzen 7 have a machne readable serial number? (Score 1) 104

CPUID instruction not CPUID utility, mode 3 ?, 96 bits spread across various registers. It's a legacy instruction, no longer returning a unique serial number on the Intel side. And I assume the AMD side as well.

Some folks are claiming that there is some sort of unique value associated with DRM functionality. But I'm not sure if that is coming from the CPU or the motherboard.

I would only be mildly surprised if a CPU returns a random number these days, hence not a unique serial number, but something a developer might consider close enough. Personally I would have guessed they returned 0 or -1 when they decided to remove unique serials.

LOL, the commissar continues to try to move the goalposts, ...

Exactly, that is what you do.

... to spew vitriol, labels and empty accusations, like a true communist would.

Exactly, that is what you do.

What's missing from that little speech? Exactly, evidence for their claims.

Other than the posts above that show the true origin of the conversation, a bit different than you claimed.

Comment Apple seems to require user to OK agents .... (Score 1) 47

abulafia says he would not install the LLM, Apple would regardless of the type of user 'harden' the OS.

No, it seems that Apple is requiring the user to explicitly allow agents to have access. For example the new version of Xcode has the ability to be controlled by an AI agent. First time I ran the new version it asked if I wanted to allow agents to use Xcode. The options were always, only when Xcode is already running, never.

Comment Sounds like more granularity options ... (Score 1) 47

This looks like the final cell-phonification of the Mac. I'm bummed.

Don't worry, it's not. MacOS already requires that a user give explicit permission to an app that wants full disk access. It kind of sounds like Apple is going to have greater granularity than the current options of your app's writable folder and everything.

Comment I'm not sure anything different is happening here (Score 1) 17

I had an employer that was in the University's on-campus research park. Part of the deal to be in the park was to interact with the university and students. Besides the typical internship stuff, we also had company research projects actually handed off to student teams. Some degree programs, for example business, have group projects where you are supposed to do something in collaboration with a local company. Our company project was to research a potential a new product, we coordinated with the school of business at the university and one of the student teams in the new product development class used our company project as their class project. We were expected to have this sort of cooperation since we were in the research park.

Doing something in coordination with a company does not mean you are not properly pursuing academic goals. Yeah, its Microsoft, but from the summary it didn't sound too strange other than the normal spokesperson word salad.

Just like a commissar of the communist party, the moron is toeing the line. Without evidence or understanding, but with fervor. trumpism at its purest.

What an amazing bit of projection you have there.

And yet another bad guess on your part regarding Trump. Hint: Being critical of the CCP is a quite bipartisan endeavor.

That would affect the buyer's rights with respect to the seller, not not his rights with respect to the gaming company.

That is surely what the other lawyer would offer as a counterargument. I would also expect that there is something about hardware based bans in the terms of service, which the buyer would have to agree to in order to access the online game.
