I would like to add that lawyers that can be bothered to write these letters on behalve of companies like synaptics deserve to lose their license as well.
wokkel··on Java's new AOT cache feature is in a rough state
If you are regering to the mess that is python or javascript in beg to differ
wokkel··on Kevin Kelly's 2016 AI Predictions, 10 Years Later
If you ask a person the same question about macdonalds they won't tell you their main income is real estate either.
wokkel··on The EPA is planning to scrap public review rules for data center pollution
Well, if the democratic proces was actually democratic instead of infused with money it could work. As it is now, you buy of some politicians and get your way. If the law is in the way you buy of some other politicians.
wokkel··on Dutch central bank moves share of gold from U.S., Canada to London
As an outsider is see i culture that is based on winning. Not on cooperation. That extends to politics. Were i live we are used to many parties and they must work together to form a working political system. This working together is pervasive throughout the society. This also means that individual idiots are kept in check.
wokkel··on FBI Probes Service Selling 153M+ Drivers Licenses
Unfortunately no right to audit. So deletion is a pinky promise.
wokkel··on Document-borne AI worms can self-propagate through Copilot for Word
Not sure if i get your complete message but even generally intelligent beings (humans) can be confused so i have really no hope for the current state of mixing streams. This was a problem already inearly telephone (captain whistle)
wokkel··on OpenAI and Anthropic unite against open-weight AI risks to their bottom line
I don't think senators will do a lot seeing the state of us politics at the moment (European perspective).
wokkel··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
They did the same by banning strong encryption. Never underestimate the stupidity of politicians
wokkel··on Texas woman arrested for Facebook post about town water quality
Semantics. The result is the same. The cause: no repercussions for missing the system that is in place is a bigger fallacy imho
wokkel··on Access to frontier AI will soon be limited by economic and security constraints
It's basically converted sand. Most of that conversion happens in Taiwan at the moment. Which is considered, by China, to be one of their provinces and as a protectorate by the usa. Hence the interest in that region....
wokkel··on Louis Rossmann offers to pay legal fees for a threatened OrcaSlicer developer
On infosec we call that airgapped. Pretty secure compared to what is normally done. Nothing caveman about it.
wokkel··on Windows quality update: Progress we've made since March
So you install an launcher to run linux. Ditch the launcher i'd say.
wokkel··on Running a One Trillion-Parameter LLM Locally on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Cluster
I read (but cannot find this anymore) that the information sent from layer to layer is minimal. The actual matrix work happens within a layer. They are not doing matrix multiplication over the netwerk (that would be insane latency wise).
wokkel··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
Those can also be explained by favouring usa/venezuela oil while still supporting Russian politics. For example: in the Ukraine war he is constantly seeking ways and arguments to support putins position even though he is one of the few leaders worldwide who do this.
wokkel··on Fernflower Java Decompiler
When using Lombok it will use a compiler plugin for this so maven builds have @nonnull generated as if-statements. I dont know if intellij uses their own plugin but they do support Lombok in maven projects, so maybe thats where this is coming from. Afaik intellij has no built in compiler but relies on java .
wokkel··on OrioleDB Patent: now freely available to the Postgres community
You can in the US. Not so much in the rest of the world.
wokkel··on Lucky 13: a look at Debian trixie
Debian user here: no nvidia here, but the printer (networked), wifi and scanner just work. As does my bluetooth mouse,
wokkel··on Steam can't escape the fallout from its censorship controversy
It's a stupid situation that banks and payment processors force their ethics upon while other companies take the blame (valve in this case). They should just dommoney transfers and as long as the transfer itself is legal should not have any opinion on the parties or product involved in the transaction.
wokkel··on Red teams jailbreak GPT-5 with ease, warn it's 'nearly unusable' for enterprise
Not divulging information with third parties seems a common theme, even when said business practices are questionable.
wokkel··on Anker is no longer selling 3D Printers
Got a lot of recalls going though.
wokkel··on AI is killing the web – can anything save it?
On US based sites mostly in my experience: privacy and user consent are pretty low on the priority list it seems.
wokkel··on What Microchip doesn't (officially) tell you about the VSC8512
What i know from the past is for realtime guarantees ethernet does not cut it. So you might be right.
wokkel··on Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?
Use an odroid h4: 2x2.5gbe and a 4*1 m.2 bifurcation card to get 4 nvme drives there. Performance is limited due to ethernet anyway.
wokkel··on Millions in west don't know they have aggressive fatty liver disease, study says
Bmi is one metric but you need to combine it with a measurement of your belly circumference. I had similar numbers but the weight was al in the belly and got diagnoses as type 2 diabetic with high cholesterol etc.
wokkel··on Java at 30: Interview with James Gosling
It barely works on non MS platforms,has had many slightly incompatible versions so it's a non starter for many projects where I run into that might benefit from c#. I spoke to a manager recently who had invested in silverlight in the past. Based on that alone it was a no MS policy for his development teams.
wokkel··on In praise of grobi for auto-configuring X11 monitors
My windows laptop disconnects my monitor sometimes seemingly randomly. A sign that windows is not ready for non-technical users?
wokkel··on TScale – Distributed training on consumer GPUs
Actually it was the usa presuring the Dutch government.
wokkel··on AmigaOS 3.2 Update 3 Released
Thats os/2, not amiga os
wokkel··on Why Copilot Is Making Programmers Worse at Programming
But it does. The same holds for Google and stackoverflow: the majority of developers have trouble with sql.since the introduction of or mappers and plenty of other examples. Ask a junior dev about the difference between a stack allocated and a heap allocated object and be amazed.
