Security by obscurity would have made a lot more sense before global communications allowed people to share the results of poking around like this.

Bulletin boards existed. Hacker parties existed. You made contacts and kept in touch. You mailed discs to each other.

We communicated before the internet.

The studios are still there in a lot of cases, but they are part of EA or other giants.

We only struggle with what we produce not being bought up by American giants.

Writing the software isn’t a problem. Having the company survive is.

They’re still getting Amazon to store data that is critical to the function of the nation.

Government documents shouldn’t be on other people’s computers.

The headline suggests they haven’t started using them yet.

I think it’s too early to tell with Mamdani. He’s saying all the right things but he needs to deliver on them, and for that he needs time to cook.

Karl Marx wouldn’t be able to bring himself to write a post.

…unless some benefactor paid him to do it.

I didn’t.

Is the money in your pension “virtual money”?

Microsoft didn’t lose 10%. Investment funds holding Microsoft lost 10%, and they invest other people’s money.

At this point, not having AI would be a selling point.

No. You don’t get to say this is ok because it’s Labour. This is authoritarian power grabs. Nobody voted for this because this was never shared with the public.

Labour, Tories and Reform all need to be cast into the wilderness for decades over what’s going on right now.

I like the “Simplicité, Sécurité, Souveraineté” theme. Echos of “Liberté, égalité, fraternité”

I work in the semiconductor industry, but have little to do with physical aspects.

Ok. I’m not familiar with them. I was just relaying my impression from the start of the article.

Article is about research by IMEC (a chip packaging company) into dealing with the heat problems encountered with stacked dies such as HBM memories with a GPU.

You have to get a third of the way in before they really get to the topic.

Me with company emails on outlook: “It’s down? Didn’t notice.”

Well I don’t think they’re growing. Depending on the sector all the AI data scanning is a concern for a number of companies. I’ve seen a lot of European discussions about getting away from US cloud services too.

If they lose all the money they have pumped into AI, then they will be relying on Windows and Office.

Good for them that both of those are currently doing fine.

It’s a big matrix multiplier that is tailored for machine learning model evaluation (not training). Often they are low precision as that’s all you need for model evaluation (or “inference”).

Think of it as a much less useful GPU because it won’t do graphics.

Need to solve the discover-ability of it though. Peertube is only useful if you know what you’re going there for.
