X will be in the same category as rt.

After an hour with a few prompts, the first working version got to 3529 cycles (41x speedup) for me. I was using Gemini 3 pro preview.

The fun programming games are Human Resource Machine and 7 Billion Humans.

I remember looking this up a while ago: https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/corporatesite/us/en/c...

A 1.1% devaluation doesn't seem so bad per year, except for the political risk and economic uncertainty.

They only added the binary packages at the end of 2023.

Like I said, this is a cat and mouse game, if you had terminals to spare or even just fake battery operated transmitting antennas, you could waste a lot of drone time. There are also masking techniques and it's not like the drones can't be tracked or misguided. It would take orders of magnitude more effort to stop Starlink than to keep using it minimally. Iran is a big country, it just depends on how determined and prepared the protestors are to evade censorship. Which by itself is hopefully just a start to other actions.

TV emissions don't use beam forming. This is all a cat and mouse game, but Starlink being a distributed system should mean it is harder to completely block use of.

Doesn't Starlink use some sort wideband signal which is hard to jam? Combined with some sort of frequency hopping and a moving constellation should mean blocking a user or satellite signal should be pretty hard, like many times the cost of building and servicing a user terminal for use against protesters.

Looking forward to using Gentoo in WSL more easily. I currently use Ubuntu for some scripting but would switch as I also use Gentoo on the desktop. Also good to see the Rust toolchain and BLAS packaging improvements.

What has kept me on Gentoo since the first Opteron days (20+ years ago) is that once you do an install, you also learn in part how to fix the things you installed, which can be helpful later on. I also do world rebuilds often which I think is just the equivalent of testing an OS backup for a source based OS. :)

As a private platform, SpaceX did try to draw a line with where their service could be used in Ukraine, but we're talking about Iranian protestors now, a different matter I think. If they were offering a firewall as a service, then what you're saying would be more true.

Apple and Google have done more than just stay in good graces of governments by getting rid of apps governments don't like, they haven't enforced their terms against X, and given tens of millions to Trump's ballroom.

It's weird how Apple and Google don't get it, while SpaceX does.

This works for any cloud gaming services too. Another hack is putting a link in your profile comments.

Telecom just seems to show data centers? Was hoping to see where cable/fiber lines.

If you join a startup, be ready to hire a lawyer.

I would like to see the ratio of toll prices to public transport available for each state properly normalized. Would be interesting to see a correlation.

I'm sorry but which Chrome 0-days in the last year have been concurrency bugs instead of type confusion?

Now do type safety.

Would a Groq chiplet be worth $20B? If you bundle it while no one else can, maybe..

The answer to Apples self-preferencing would be to let users opt-out of Apple's on device spying, like installing another OS.

Debugging what causes an OOM situation seems to be a wash with or without overcommit as an end user, I am guessing more warnings/hints would be appreciated by users and developers.

I use zram exclusively as swap, and while doing memory intensive tasks in the background, it's usually something interactive like the browser that ends up being killed. I would turn on swap that's isn't zram if this happened more often. I might also turn off overcommit if apps handled OOM situations gracefully, but as you say, the complexity might not be worth it.

This is a better explanation and fix than others I've seen. There will be differences between desktop and server uses, but misbehaving applications and libraries exist on both.

I was happy when I could skip the intro movie.

There were uses for DGPUs in MacOS before AS, those uses could have continued, but Apple left no choice. It's weird how continuity wasn't as important to Apple in this case.

Whatever kernel or hardware facilities are available to Apple's own GPU driver, should be available to other GPU drivers. Anything else is myopic thinking, which I realize might be common for Apple, but it is also monopolistic.

Linux also allows userspace drivers with less performance I think, but I don't think DGPU use can be made performant because of AS hardware choices.

I am predisposed to ignoring link requests for things that can be easily googled.

You would think Apple would update this or put out another support page supporting what you're saying: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102363

There's also an Apple VP saying unified memory on AS doesn't leave room for DGPUs and separate VRAM.

I think this is more than just an erratum, even with newer chips. It's monopolistic behavior all too common nowadays.

This comparison makes no sense. It's desktops/laptops vs phones. In either case Apple is the worst offender. You cannot even use Nvidia/AMD/Intel DGPUs with AS Macs, or install other OSes on iPhone.

A few vendors have been stopped from shipping binary modules with Linux, notably those linking to certain symbols. Enough vendors have contributed enough to make Linux actually usable on the desktop with a wide range of off the shelf hardware and more and more are announcing day one compatibility or open source contributions. The same is hardly true for the BSDs.

It's obvious Sony is keeping certain drivers closed source while open sourcing other things, and why Nvidia decided to go with an open source driver. It's not hard to understand why, it could be some pressure or a modified GPL2.

I wonder which APIs aren't accessible on the iPhone so the same features can't be implemented on a iOS pixel buds app.

Whataboutism and cynicism about the status quo notwithstanding, I do agree BT protocol and adherence to it could be improved though.

Contributing to open source isn't a substitute for having cross platform products, features and support.

I think it's fair to say Apple's cross platform work is a couple of Android and PC apps, the Mac boot loader, and Swift. Even on this page, Apple seems more like a user of the community projects than a contributor and the Apple projects seem to be for internal use or for Apple platforms. Kind of misses the point in being cross platform the way librepod is aiming to be.

I could see a Steam Frame OLED coming just like the Steam Deck OLED, but I wonder how long it will take. Like others here, this will be an instant buy for me and my first VR device, apart from Cardboard maybe. Looking forward to gaming on it.
