Poppycock.
https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-on-android-founde... if you believe Andy Rubin's recollection of events on January 2007 when Jobs announced the iPhone he had absolutely no idea.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/10/building-android-a-4... even in December 2007 the Android milestone build didn't have a finger friendly user interface, that'll only come in February 2008. The iPhone shipped 2007 summer.
Now whether the UI was stolen from the iPhone is a different matter and I do not want to enter that debate.
Here's the plain truth: IA ran a gigantic book piracy site during covid. They should've known they won't get away with it. I remember several authors begging them not to do this because it affected their income. I personally thought it monumentally stupid to put the Wayback Machine at risk.
They said, there are enough physical books in closed libraries to cover their lending. That's not how this works. They should've asked the publishers for permission first if necessary putting pressure on them via public. This is not a case of it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission because they must have known they won't be forgiven for this. I can't even.
I am not saying this is by any means moral or right. I am saying: this is the law. They actually got relatively lucky for not being fined to oblivion for this.

For example, imagine you being arrested at Frankfurt airport because you posted something a year ago that falls under Strafgesetzbuch section 86a. You would need to review your entire post history going back years and compare it to the laws of every country you touch during your travels.
And then there's a political commentator who calls the United States (and the United Kingdom) a Fourth World -- and that's not a positive thing. https://archive.is/UIr49

Meanwhile Samtec has PCIe active optical cables, they have had them since 2012, it's a very niche application currently.

those can but 10nm CPUs after Plundervolt can't undervolt , it's disabled from UEFI and not only there's no option to reenable it in the UI, the very EFI variable itself is write locked. I have an X1 Gen 4 (Intel 11th gen) and you just can't do it.
This is not true. His entire foundation is, as I mentioned, as the linked article explains, a metaphor but not the actual truth about how human brains work. This is the crux of the matter, this is why AGI is very obviously not possible on the track it is currently on. Problem is, as the article I linked notes:
> Just over a year ago, on a visit to one of the world’s most prestigious research institutes, I challenged researchers there to account for intelligent human behaviour without reference to any aspect of the IP metaphor. They couldn’t do it, and when I politely raised the issue in subsequent email communications, they still had nothing to offer months later. They saw the problem. They didn’t dismiss the challenge as trivial. But they couldn’t offer an alternative. In other words, the IP metaphor is ‘sticky’. It encumbers our thinking with language and ideas that are so powerful we have trouble thinking around them.
Almost all AI researchers are in this rut: "firmly rooted in the idea that humans are, like computers, information processors" -- but this is just not true, it's a metaphor to explain how the brain works.
> A few cognitive scientists – notably Anthony Chemero of the University of Cincinnati, the author of Radical Embodied Cognitive Science (2009) – now completely reject the view that the human brain works like a computer. The mainstream view is that we, like computers, make sense of the world by performing computations on mental representations of it, but Chemero and others describe another way of understanding intelligent behaviour – as a direct interaction between organisms and their world.
The Church Turing thesis is about computation. While the human brain is capable of computing, it is fundamentally not a computing device -- that's what the article I linked is about. You can't throw in all the paintings before 1872 into some algorithm that results in Impression, soleil levant. Or repeat the same but with 1937 and Guernica. The genes of the respective artists, the expression of those genes created their brain and then the sum of all their experiences changed it over their entire lifetime leading to these masterpieces.

> The information processing (IP) metaphor of human intelligence now dominates human thinking, both on the street and in the sciences. There is virtually no form of discourse about intelligent human behaviour that proceeds without employing this metaphor, just as no form of discourse about intelligent human behaviour could proceed in certain eras and cultures without reference to a spirit or deity. The validity of the IP metaphor in today’s world is generally assumed without question.
> But the IP metaphor is, after all, just another metaphor – a story we tell to make sense of something we don’t actually understand. And like all the metaphors that preceded it, it will certainly be cast aside at some point – either replaced by another metaphor or, in the end, replaced by actual knowledge.
> If you and I attend the same concert, the changes that occur in my brain when I listen to Beethoven’s 5th will almost certainly be completely different from the changes that occur in your brain. Those changes, whatever they are, are built on the unique neural structure that already exists, each structure having developed over a lifetime of unique experiences.
> no two people will repeat a story they have heard the same way and why, over time, their recitations of the story will diverge more and more. No ‘copy’ of the story is ever made; rather, each individual, upon hearing the story, changes to some extent
Those Amber Lake Y chips were the bees knees. 5W Core CPUs -- these were the last. Ice Lake and Tiger Lake were 7W at last and then the low power Alder Lake CPUs only contain E cores so they are just renamed Atom CPUs. Which is visible from the N series numbering, too.
Question is, do you need to auth every time you try to access past snapshots? If not then this is still the mother lode for any infostealer.
And I do not think the danger Recall poses in an abusive relationship especially to women is adequately answered by "You can disable saving snapshots, pause them temporarily, filter applications and websites from being in snapshots, and delete your snapshots at any time" -- you'd need to know this thing exists and figure out how to pause. And I wonder whether the pause itself would leave a trace...
Their argument was there are enough physical copies in shuttered libraries to cover any lending and it's not impossible they could've gotten the publishers on board if they went public with the plan first urging for swift agreement instead of going for "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission".
1. There hasn't been a crash involving a commercial flight with few survivors in living memory. Either you get something like MH370 where everyone perishes or you get Asiana in SF which had three fatalities.
2. Absolutely baloney about the belt, the worst you can get is a bruise.
That's what electing the 270 this November is going to decide
Right, but ARM says "Nuvia’s licensing fees and royalty rates reflected the anticipated scope and nature of Nuvia’s use of the Arm architecture. The licenses safeguarded Arm’s rights and expectations by prohibiting assignment without Arm’s consent, regardless of whether a contemplated assignee had its own Arm licenses"
Basically ARM says Qualcomm should pay more than they did before because no, their blanket doesn't cover Nuvia.
> so this will eventually collapse into a new licensing agreement that covers all claims
Obviously. That's the crux of the matter. Qualcomm says they shouldn't pay more, ARM says they should.
If this makes no sense then here's a simple example: a DVD is not property, it's intellectual property. If it were property then region locks couldn't exist. Compare it to a book. You buy a book in London, no one stops you from reading it in New York, it's your property. Absurdity is the name of the game: in the DeCSS trial it was argued Johansen trespassed on his own computer.
Edit: ah, I have a better, simpler explanation: Arm and Nuvia made a contract. Qualcomm bought Nuvia. Arm argues Qualcomm violated the terms of the contract. That's it.
