Arm gives up on killing off Qualcomm's vital chip license

RISC-V for no other reason but to end the licensing mess or ARM and X86. Why does anyone need a license to make something? Just dump these license ISAs in the dustbin of history already.

Guess who left a database wide open, exposing chat logs, API keys, and more? Yup, DeepSeek

Deepseek is offline selfhosted only

Clearly none here know that Deepseek unlike OpenAI is meant to run offline and that the supposed leak is just a secondary test environment for lazy users.

Game dev accuses Intel of selling ‘defective’ Raptor Lake CPUs

i have both a Ryzen 9 7950X and i9-14900K. Both are rocksolid platforms on any app or game if run on stock profiles. Most of these issues are bad motherboard BIOS profiles. This generation many of the motherboard manufacturers have had a massive drop in quality. I want to see AMD and Intel make their own motherboards because I no longer trust the Asus/MSI/Asrock/Gigabyte motherboard cartel to make quality motherboards. Their BIOSs now run with extreme overclocks by default with extreme difficulty to turn off these profiles. Also Windows 11 now enforces weird power saving kernel level rules that makes many applications react in strange ways, often boosting the first core to maximum especially if default overclock bios profile is on, which causes the app to crash, just run windows 10, and build a stock profile with extreme boosting disabled.

What comes after open source? Bruce Perens is working on it

Re: Let's say he creates this post-open "contract"

very anecdotal but irrelevant commentary. i can tell you haven't worked in any position where open source pays well. nearly any datacentre these days runs open source. especially compute and LLM. proprietary software has almost entirely disappeared. no one is running ibm, microsoft, sun or oracle servers anymore. everyone prefers open standards on virtualized Linux, with developers contributing to open source projects, where you can get the source but to deploy it you need to pay a subscription for the routine updates (that you want). the profitable software world is absolutely willing to pay for open source. it is free as in freedom, not free to use commercially (except for personal use). companies are just as disinterested in proprietary lock-ins and have advisors specifically for open source licensing. companies get sued routinely for not adhering to licensing. its in their own best interest and profitability to play along and contribute. i think post-open will definitely protect the developers who put in the real effort on projects far more.

Apple becomes the latest company to ban ChatGPT for internal use

utopia > dystopia

dystopian mindset.

why are conspiracy theorists always dystopic and nihilist?

Where are the utopic conspiracists?

disregard dystopia, embrace utopia.

Skill issue. naive thinking you can stop what is coming. the AI cat is out of the bag and its never going back in. become proficient and skilled at it or sit down

apple will become irrelevant if they cannot embrace the inevitable.

remember fear always arrives from what you don't understand. assuming you understand anything is entirely arrogant, so acknowledging that you're just pretending to not have fear for what you think you understand, should expel all fears. you never understand anything you just get used to it and start to take it for granted. So too will it be with AI.

Ampere heads off Intel, AMD's cloud-optimized CPUs with a 192-core Arm chip

RISC-V is the future

should have gone RISC-V

RISC-V > ARM/X86
