Imagine a mandate to retrieve these 50 pieces, and you get planetes IRL.

If someone wanted an AI browser, they could take a FOSS browser plus a set of open weight models of their choice, and jerry-rig it for free, or, pay ~ $20 per month for the convenience of having it all pre-packaged.

Sadly, big players will offer AI browsers galore for free, and and this initiative will die.

Is a sad enshittifyed world

I've seen that movie. It was GitS:SAC 2nd Gig. The Tachikoma's brains lived in a satellite.

If Bezos brings Tachikomas to real life, even as delivery vehicles, with the brains in space... count me in!

I see you are a sensible smart person by keeping the OtA service. Many people forget it existas, and also forget that it is a good way to get things like local news, and programs that debut in the big four and get to the streamers the day after.

Their direct competitors also jumped head first in this fad, so, once the fad fades, comparatively speaking, microsoft will not be worse off compared to the competition.

What could REALLY hurt microsoft is that AI ends up NOT being a fad, and Micrsoft NOT being one of the top companies in the space.

Nadella does not need technical chops. What he will do is decide which tech initiatives will go forward, which will not, and how the resources will be allocated among them.

The guy has a decent track record on making those types of decitions.

Is that the CEO will lean more heavily into strategy and external relations, while the COO will lean more heavily into tacticas and, well, operations.

What I read into this is either the workload has become too much for Nadella alone, or, they are preparing some sort of succesion plan.

I came to find ladybird while searching for BSD licensed browsers. Having FOSS license diversity is good IMHO (I do not subscribe the "one lincense to rule them all" school of tought).

Also, aside from rendering engine diversity, ladybird has very interesting, new and stronger security concepts.

Too bad it is not really multiplatform, as windows is a second class citizen, compared to elementaryOS Twhere the project originated), BSD,MacOS and linux

Not that I care, i use MacOS,but stilll...

Looking forward to use and support it. Wish the team the best of luck

Mod parent up!

Couple that with the fact that many entry level CS jobs can be done remotely from lower cost countries, and you get this situation. Smart companies will keep hiring a few juniors as a hedge...

Most companies are not that smart.

that did a "primitive" version of this. Instead of propping them up, even infusing them with Open Weights AI if needed, Mozilla went with google...

I wonder if all the funding Google provided Mozilla had anything to do with it.

Then Again, firefox is still better than the alternatives (Multiplatform unlike Safari, less privacy intrusive unlike Chrome, independent Rendering engines, unlike Chromium based browsers)

Can't wait for LadyBird to arrive.

Why on earth Amazon is using the Linux kernel for a propiertary OS?
Go the Sony and Nintendo route and use *BSD

- If you want to keep the development fully open you can do so.
- If you decided to keep the code and development fully open, but something/someone somewhere along the chain prevented the code from being released, no drama.
- If you want to contribute money and code Upstream but not open your code, you can do so too.
- If you want to be a jackass, take the PR hit, and leach, taking the code, but not opening it AND not contributing money or code upstream, you can do that too...

More flexibility for the comapny.

And is not like you need broad driver and SoC support, as these are propiertary appliances. The subset of SoCs in the market that have adequate *BSD driver support is more than enough for all intents and purposes...

Thanks for the warning. It will be supper usefull for people living/working in areas with subpar "tower" coverage.

But, Mediatek sells processors without modems too, so, blame "whomevur" sold you the phone with Mediatek modems, instead of a Mediatek+Qualcomm hybrid. Yes, using the bundle is ussualy cheaper. But even a hybrid will be cheaper than a Qualcomm-only solution (as Qualcomm charges premium prices all the way through their stack).

Besides, there is plenty of people in this world who live in areas with dense tower coverage, who do not need the premium Qualcomm modems, so Mediatek is laughing all the way to the bank anyway.

For what is worth, I have a Razer+ 2024, so, Qualcomm processor AND Modems. But in my country there is plenty of MediaTek all around, so, I see plenty of examples in the wild.

and every single time, un-enrolling was super easy.

But one thing is what I think, and a very different one is what a judge and/or jury think.

You nija'd me. But I will add that nVIDIA and AMD AI GPUs can be used for HPC. Nuclear weapons modeling, climate models, seismic exploration, aerodynamics (CFD), finite model analysis. The posibilities for reuse are endless

Your question is valid. The answer is simple. the "Tangerine Terror" can only stop new fabs getting here. The fabs that TSMC and Samsung already have in USoAn soil will remain there AND be upgraded.

The sole process of building a fab that can sustain the cleanliness needed for chipmaking (significantly more clean particle wise than an Operating Room, although less asceptic) is super-Expensive. even before you deploy the Litho Equipment. Also, the load bearing on the ceiling for the waffer transport pods is out of this world. Also, moving around the litho equipment after deployment is super expensive too (revalidation and re-calibration galore)

Also, with the world the way it is, neither Samsung nor TSMC can afford to risk full stop production in the mother-land due to military action (NorK or China), or to Earthquakes (Pacific Fire Ring). So they will keep building outside of their motherland. Be that the USoA, Canada or europe, Who knows?

So, is not like Samsumg or TSMC will vacate the USoAn fabs and let the buildings go delerict, or sell the empty husks of the buildings to "someone else" for pennies on the dollar.

If they get feed up with the "Orange Terror", they will stop new GreenField fab building, expansion projects, and maybe even cancel projects in very early stages of construction, but very advanced constrution or operational fabs will go ahead.
