I wouldn’t trust Zuck-Zuck to clean up after my dog, let alone anything more complex than that.

I don’t think this is a Google thing.

We have working cross-carrrier RCS in Ukraine. No one uses it though.

I found the article to be rather confusing.

One thing to point out is that the video codec used in this research (but for which results weren’t published for some reason), H264, is not at all state of the art.

H265 is far newer and they are already working on H266. There are also other much higher quality codecs such as AV1. For what it’s worth, they do reference H265, but I don’t have access to the source research paper, so it’s difficult to say what they are comparing against.

The performance relative to FLAC is interesting though.

Just some super basic index stuff. Day trading style strategies is not my type of thing.

Ah I see. I thought you had equity and wanted to cash out during the IPO.

I don’t get all these discussions about “charitable purpose” and so on. It’s pretty clear that this is oligarch run institutions and the individuals involved are likely incapable of understanding the concept of “charitable purpose”.

Are you an insider? Or why exactly are you waiting for their IPO?

I don’t live in the US. The price in local currency was close enough to $50.

I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.

Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).

Was this posted in self-hosted because the term is vaguely associated with the concept of getting pregnant?

There is a lot of content on semiconductor manufacturing (both in context of gaming and beyond) on [email protected], in one way or another anything related to semiconductors does impact both PC and console gaming (since CPUs and GPUs are key).

If not for consoles, AMD would have likely gone bankrupt or become a marginal player.

Considering what’s happening with Intel in the past ~7 year, it would have been game over for x86 PC gaming on the CPU front.

Exactly this.

We continue to be able to make faster chips, both via smaller nodes, but also via advanced packaging and architecture improvements.

But the costs of every new generational increase is rising faster than the % performance improvement.

I am personally hoping this will eventually lead to a culture of total optimization (similar to what we saw in the 90s on both PC and console), but there are likely significant barriers to implementing such a new development culture at scale.

This is really good point. The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

e-greeting cards

Haven’t even thought about them in what seems like a quarter of a century.

Sure, but with China everyone more less knew this. The US has used up the last benefit of the doubt that they had in the past 5 months.

It makes sense for Chinese smartphone OEMs to move away from the Google version of Android. In the medium to long term you are setting up yourself for failure if you are reliant on an American company.

Unfortunately, the United States cannot be trusted.

It was require a different set of incentives, as wall as massive (global) reforms in judicial system, criminal approaches and rehabilitation policies for organized crime.

Seems fine.

Sounds about right for crypto scheme participants.
