hopefully such Arm option would have Arm SystemReady Compliance so you could just install whatever distro you want on it

I can provide some insight into this. Most stores will have a server which handles the barcodes, pricing, etc, locally. Then all transactions are usually sent in a batch everyday from the store server to a central server/servers somewhere for processing, usually around that time reports are also generated and stats made available for BI analysis.

Payments processed by the payment terminals handle the authorization of the payments separately from any store servers, usually through a service such as Connected Payments.

I basically did the same thing for my recent SFF PC build. I underclocked the max clock speed of the CPU in the BIOS and set the max wattage to 65. I then set the power limit of the GPU to 70. The fans barely run even when gaming and it stays nice and cool, not affecting the room temperature during the summor.

It somewhat makes sense in terms of industries which are deemed strategically important. Intel needs to start thinking long term instead of short term profits.

Not just the military, but the majority of consumer devices as well.

With Intel maintained, if China invades Taiwan and takes TSMC the US will still be able to make usable processors. They won't be the latest and greatest like TSMC, but they will be good enough. Maybe not the most powerful or efficient, but still rather close.

My only worry is this will mean management will start resting on their laurels and things will just continue to deteriorate. Or maybe the government can convince them to get rid of the bad management and start thinking more long term and less about immediate profits.

I remember one of my first PC builds had a RAID card with a Marvell controller. I can still visualize the logo on the POST screen

I hope either type of battery becomes cheap enough that I can create a power bank to power my home without breaking the bank, because right now its still rather expensive to do so.

Unfortunately so it seems. The Pandora's box has been opened, people have gotten a taste of it, and they like it. One just has to look at some of the freakouts people have had on Reddit whenever the AI they were using gets changed or its romantic abilities limited. It's rather terrifying.

I wonder if we are at the point right now where AI needs a large bright disclaimer while using it saying "This person is not real and is an AI" (kind of like the big warning on cigarettes and nicotine products). Many of us here would think such a thing is common sense, but there are plenty of people out there who could be convinced by an AI chatbot that they are real

Same. Constructive feedback is not always positive, and it is needed.

>I’m tired of my Verizon plan trying to cram Netflix and Hulu and Disney+ and crap down my throat

And of course when they do its never the ad-free versions.

Probably because there is a massive demand for it, no doubt powered by the loneliness a lot of people report feeling.

Even if OpenAI blocks it, other AI providers will have no problem with doing so

I know very little about electronics design, so I always find it amazing that they keep managing to double PCIe throughput over and over. Its also probably the longest lived expansion bus at the moment.

Arizona has the perfect conditions for solar energy (sunny 99% of the time), they really should have taken advantage of that.

Somewhat related, one of my favorite 'absurdities' to come from the USSR was the hydraulic computer https://www.amusingplanet.com/2019/12/vladimir-lukyanovs-wat...

I wonder then if its possible to load the unused parts into main memory, while the more used parts into VRAM

There is also the fact that AI lacks long term memory like humans do. If you consider context length long term memory, its incredibly short compared to that of a human. Maybe if it reaches into the billions or trillions of tokens in length we might have something comparable, or someone comes up with a new solution of some kind

Is there a story behind this oddly specific comment?

More and more I'm starting to understand why one of our project managers left Microsoft and started working with us.

I remember reading about 5 or so years ago that the FBI was doing exactly this to counter the EternalBlue exploit (I might be getting the exploit name wrong)

>However what we can simply never do is make another one from scratch as all the tooling has been gone since the 1960s. They could do an “inspired by the B52” replacement like the B21 is to the B2, but much like the B2 and F22 we just won’t make more of them for practical and Military Industrial Complex reasons.

iirc they are doing this with the new F-15's they are producing, the F-15EX Eagle II

Isn't China already doing something like this?

It may take a bit longer than that, but don't worry, it will happen eventually.

>work is moving little by little but more and more towards remote...

I wish this were the case so badly... it seems to be more the opposite with many companies doing RTO now.

With all the state/countries starting to do ID verification, this is a good lesson in what can go horribly wrong with these types of policies.

I'm guessing shady back office deals with the executives took place, or at least I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

They previously were banned (or maybe it was threatened to be banned) by the payment processors, then suddenly it went away.

Wow, that picture really puts the size of the cologne cathedral into perspective.

Agreed! There are so many people in this country with the talent required for those positions.

So glad to see some good news for a change! This gives me some more hope that my career path will still be viable in the future.

The closest thing I can thing of is a black hole.
