When fb released Llama they obviously gained a huge amount of developer goodwill but it also required them to invest a serious amount of their own developer time to engage with the community.
I'm asking the community what it can offer the company? Or is this just self-abnegation by the company that releases the model?
- Maybe because one could lower the "wait states" BIOS setting on PCs, and this became a selling point and was marketed? https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/9779 https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/18333
Note: it is often perceived that the CPU with more "wait states" was slower. But the above links point out how often the opposite is true.
- The Apple II era was a very different world. The CPU was relatively slower than the RAM. https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/23541
(It also was only going to kick in once your revenue hit a certain point.)
The CEO John R. didn't chime in here, and that would have meant him being accountable for this decision and its effect on Unity. His mask slipped here.

Especially Figure 2 on that page, a map showing the change in Sea Surface Temperature, was interesting.
Do you have more information on what changed around 1945? (I mean, I could probably guess. I was wondering if you're looking at different sources than I am.)
Now I want to get into the weeds, if you have a minute more. For "key not found yet," is there a way for Actor 1 to know the difference between -
1. Key not found, it's too early to know why. Kind of like a "yield".
2. Key not found, and any Actor has now had plenty of time to supply one, so it's safe to move on (update the UI, etc.). Kind of like a "nil".
For example, if I send a request for a key that's "not found," I would think a standard out-of-band error is what you mean?
On the other hand, if I send a request to put data in a key and there's a version mismatch (say my schema is newer and I've got an additional field) -- then silently allowing it to proceed makes sense, sort of?
Or did I misunderstand completely? :) I realize this is rehashing things at a fairly beginner level, but it would help clarify a lot!

Lufthansa busted for "losing" checked bags when the checked bags had airtags - the customer told Lufthansa exactly where to look. Lufthansa banned airtags and then reversed course: https://www.macworld.com/article/1347964/lufthansa-airtags-b...
Intel can easily launch a new small form factor line, with a new name, next year if the market is looking good.

Apple did finally close this loophole in iOS 14.5, causing Facebook to lose what some analysts think was ~$10 Billion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identifier_for_Advertisers - however, by March 18, 2021, Mark Zuckerberg stated that it could actually encourage advertisers to use the explicit targetting and tracking happening on facebook, and he made it sound like a win-win.

As of right now, Bard is separate. Or if Google has integrated ML models into search and ads, it hasn't been widely discussed.
OpenGL is exactly what you said, "an API where the common things are easy, and the super powerful low-level optimizations are optional."

What the poster means is that a "workstation" is designed with quickly swappable components, often not even needing to use any tools. Businesses may benefit from this.
While it doesn't necessarily mean the swappable components are standardized or easy to procure, they usually are. That's a separate item that "workstation" machines typically offer: longer availability of replacement parts.

It's "we slashed benefits, we flat-lined the pay, the hours are a nightmare, and then when no one wants the job, obviously blame the retirees."
Capital often attempts to distort the market with a press release about "no one to do this job." Welcome to capitalism, capitalists.
32-bit is extremely useful. For intel, 16-bit is also very useful. The problem is that there is a strong divide between the people who find 32-bit and 16-bit useful at Intel, and the people who feel a need to force everyone onto UEFI "Class 3+" [1] and that everything else must be squeezed out, shamed, and moved to an emulator.
It sounds like Arm 32-bit support might be around for a while. I mainly wanted to clarify that Intel is dropping their 32-bit and 16-bit support.

The browser does a lot of my computing now, and I'm not surprised the "General Purpose Browser" is disappearing, replaced by an appliance with user-hostile behavior that might, maybe, sometimes ... give you some internet browsing. Remember AOL Online?
The solution isn't very complicated. Copyleft [1] uses copyright to preserve user freedom, instead of restricting it -- so the company that wants to monetize the software can't block the user from making copies of the source code.
Let's skip the quibbling over Affero GPL, that's boring. How about inventing a license, where the license restricts the valid activites of the software?
A browser restricted to only make network requests authorized by the user. An OS restricted from spying on the user. A computer that is personal again.
Mozilla's primary sources of revenue are for setting the default search engine. $500 Million.
That is one of the reasons this factory isn't located in a poorer area. It's in Ft. Collins _because_ the profitability projections assume they can operate at somewhere better than 97% uptime.
