A 25% price increase over a period of time where inflation amounted also about 25% (depends a bit when in 2019 they did their last increase) is not particularly shocking or insidious to me. It just puts the price on the same level as it was in 2019. I don't mind the price increase if they keep...

There's also neverssl.com for the same use case which is guaranteed to not require HTTPS (I'm actually surprised that cloudflare hosts a non-HTTPS web site even if it's just example.com)

So you're saying while it is possible for Microsoft - or anyone else - to misconfigure example.com to go to an unwanted destination, it is guaranteed that the same can't happen for any other domain? We've had examples of that going wrong in the past too, so not really true. I'd say the much...

That's not accurate as far as I can see. It's US residents only, but that makes sense: You wouldn't want to figure out import taxes and shipment all around the world.

Nobody actually believes that right? China has been circumventing the export ban the whole time and there are a whooole lot of H200's in the various data centers. This is just going to make it easier (and maybe cheaper? I have no idea what the overhead currently is) for them to get the chips...

I mean there's some precedence where their statement can make sense and is an improvement. The problem is in the given context that's simply not what consumers expect, which makes it highly misleading. Lots of big companies used to (and quite a few still do I'm sure) encrypt data only until...

Wow, so you want to generate html on the server side and then send it to the client? If only there was a name for that.

Right. Nobody but popular JavaScript frameworks ever had deserialization vulnerabilities. I mean except for Java. Oh and .NET. Oh and Python, they had their fun share to. And those are only the languages I pay enough attention to. This has happened to virtually everyone who ever decided to...

But that's not what happened here. What you're referring to is a god knows how old change that relied on implicit or possibly even explicit limits in the system. Any large, grown system will have at least some of those undiscovered issues. Sure I agree that one you could find with code reviews...

"If you tell me".. can I borrow your magical fairy that tells you before every change what parts of a gigantic distributed system the change will affect and what all those limits are? That is after all the real challenge in large systems: The complexity comes from the unexpected interactions...

"Henderson has stopped releasing videos on TikTok about the situation." So she's learned at least one valuable lesson from the whole situation.

Which proves the point: Facebook in itself simply isn't as popular anymore and they had to adopt to a changed landscape to stay (somewhat) relevant. So people clearly didn't prefer "a place to just connect with their friends". And in this new landscape it's hard to see how Facebook has any kind...

Surely Facebook more than anyone would have been extremely happy if people actually preferred connecting with their friends and didn't spend vastly more time with reels. After all if that were the case, they would still have a monopoly instead of being more and more a relic of the past, simply...

I'd agree. I don't understand the focus on grading homework anyhow. Homework should be intended to learn the material. How they do it? Who cares. There should be in-person exams or larger projects at the end that allow the students to demonstrate what they learned. Someone who just copy-pastes...

And funnily you completely ignored my request to post any link to that claimed ongoing Apple app store case. One wonders why.

I thought that one was pretty much over and Apple got away with not having to offer third party app stores but just had to allow developers to mention other payment options in their apps? Can you link to the ongoing lawsuit on the matter? My google fu can't seem to find it.

I'll never understand how the whole thing is not considered gambling and accordingly legislated.

That seems in no way practical. First of all: "tensor cores" are an Nvidia specific technology. Good luck coming up with a sensible technology independent definition. And then your assumption is simply incorrect - efficient matrix operations are used for lots of things. FMA has been around...

You either have absolutely no clue how modern GPUs and training models work or you have a way deeper understanding than me on at least the second part. So can you give some details of exactly what parts of the API you'd want to outlaw and how that should work?

I thought using AOSP and not using the Android brand name meant they could do whatever they wanted? Sure it might be more work to rework AOSP than start from scratch, but the argument seems confusing.
