_ache_··on French ex-president Sarkozy begins jail sentence
Hey! The Seine isn't dirty as this guy.

Maybe the Seine was heavily covered as dirty by the media but remember that you shouldn't swim in the San Francisco bay either. Wait for the next JO to hear about water quality problem with the LA beach area under rain.

We are losing our democracy, same reasons as the USA. We are just fighting as much as we can.

Speeding is a big word here. It's been 13years already. But I agree with you. And actually Sarkozy was the most pushing politic to support this, not just when it's about him.

Please, can you explains the difference between "convicted" and "condemned"? Convicted is about the fact of been a criminal and condemned about the fact that you have a condamnation/conviction/sentence?

French joke.

He is jailed in a jail nicknamed "La Santé", which is also the the french cheers sentence. "À la votre *et la santé".

Will be the running gag of this christmas and new year.

France population isn't very better, I can assure you, it's not about been brave.

We just still have a working judiciary system. But for how long? It barely correctly financed and his independence his attacked every days in the oligarchy controlled medias.

I hope you fix your judiciary system one day.

To be fair, the probability that the short explanation "He received money from Libya for his presidential campaign" is actually the truth is very high.

There is no formal proofs, but as you say, (the judges deliberated that) there is enough "converging indications" to support the idea that the short explanation is true.

And it's the second sentence for a illegal financing of his presidential campaign.

Formal proofs of this illegal financing have been linked to two of his closest collaborators but not him directly. He is so convicted for "association de malfaiteurs" wich mean "partnership with criminals / wrongdoers".

The illegal financing also explains what the US call the "Sarkozy war", which what a very odd move from France.

Note that, despite the formal proofs of the wrong doing, Sarkozy has the support of most major medias AND from the current president Macron which is not exactly the same party as Sarkozy (but close enough). That suggests politically motivated prosecution is very unlikely.

_ache_··on Nvidia DGX Spark: great hardware, early days for the ecosystem
What do you mean by "kneecapped for training"? Isn't it 128GB of VRAM enougth for small model training, that a current GC can't do?

Obviously, even with connectx, it's only 240Gi of VRAM, so no big models can be trained.

_ache_··on Nvidia DGX Spark: great hardware, early days for the ecosystem
I get the idea. But isn't 128G of "VRAM" (unified actually) could train a usefull ViT model ?

I don't think the 5090 could do that with only 32G of VRAM, couldn't it ?

Anyway, I think you should change friends. Or study subjects. Either way.

_ache_··on NIST's DeepSeek "evaluation" is a hit piece
Deepseek starts out as a one-man operation. Like any company that has attracted a lot of attention, it becomes a "target" of the CCP, which then takes measures such as prohibiting key employees from leaving the country AND setting goals such as using Huawei chips instead of NVIDIA chips.

From a Chinese political perspective, this is a good move in the long term. From Deepseek's perspective, however, this is clearly NOT the case, as it causes the company to lose some (or even most?) of its competitiveness and fall behind in the race.

OMG. I was quite young. /o\

I wish it was code-switching but the true may be that my english wasn't very good.

I learn yesterday that a French spy DGSE (French NSA) was spotted by the Canadian after exactly this kind of english errors (and other hints like the use of "octet" instead of "byte" and compiled with french local).

I did the exact same thing in C++ 10 years ago ! Same puzzle. :D

I wonder if I can still find the source code. (Found it! Source code was in French and not very elegant but it works, glorified brute force aka Backtracking).

I'm eager to improve it to find ALL solutions, not just the first one.

It's odd. There multiples problems on that blog.

_ache_··on "Remove mentions of XSLT from the html spec"
I get the point a minimal browser and WASM, but Java bytecode ?! Why not Python bytecode ? Seems unreasonable to me to add any specific bytecode support. By layout rules you mean get rid of CSS ? Sounds also unreasonable IMHO.

And no WebAudio and Canvas couldn't be implemented in client WASM without big security implication. If by module you mean inside the browser, them, what is the point of WASM here ?

Technically it for the version of ChatControl of mid-2024 where it was about adding a backdoor to E2E. I didn't find most recent data.

But the current version isn't "volontarily" (you mean unpaid or self-willed ?), it's mandatory.
