MiniMax M1 model claims Chinese LLM crown from DeepSeek – plus it's true open source

Re: Opensource is communism

Did you read any of the article?

You do know where Shanghai is, right?

You do know where Alibaba, Tencent and IDG capital are based?

Re: Opensource is communism

What?

Salesforce adds AI to everything, jacks up prices by 6%

C-Suite Logic

Salesforce research shows AI is shit.

Salesforce roll out AI and hike prices.

Intel reportedly chips away at fab workforce – but hey, maybe there's a tax break coming

Customer and employee satisfaction Irrelevant.

Line needs to go up

Bots are overwhelming websites with their hunger for AI data

"Without paying for a CDN, or writing a lot of code to track request history and IPs, there's not much that can be done"

Cloudflare has a free tier including AI bot protection, IP / ASN blocking.

If you're only a small site, there should be no need for a paid tier.

Florida man expands crypto empire with new wireless service and phone

404 media tried to buy one.

The site crashed, billed them the incorrect amount, sent them an email saying it was ordered despite them not putting in a name or delivery address. Eventually allowed them to create an account....that crashed.

Nothing screams "Made in the USA" than that.

Microsoft adds export option to Windows Recall in Europe

Really?

We're excited to announce that we're starting to roll out a highly requested feature from Windows 10."

A usable control panel?

The ability to remove telemetry?

Got it.

An easy way to use the OS without an MS account.

The launch of ChatGPT polluted the world forever, like the first atomic weapons tests

So how can we clean up the AI environment?

We don't

We poison the fuck out if it. We inject corrupted images, with Glaze and Nightshade, we use Harmony cloak and Poisonfy for music.

If Google's dog shit "search" gives you a terrible result, upvote it. Copy the text and inject it into your social media accounts, with a healthy dose of sarcasm, which it will not understand.

Let's make the models collapse asap, so we can move aware from this brain rot and hopeful regain control from the brain dead narcissist pricks like Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Satya Nadella.

So, yeah.

BOFH: Rerouting responsibility via firewall configs

Ahh pointless office moves...

...the in joke was that they moved just so the management has a window seat on the sunnyside of the building.

Mouldy food, missing hardware, hundreds of power bricks, single shoes and even a pair of knickers.

Seen it all.

The day we moved to IP telephony was a joy.

Google Cloud goes down, takes Cloudflare and its customers with it

Re: my heart bleeds

"I'm not inclined to sympathy to its customers."

Then you may as well close your account on here, and a huge amount of other sites.

You do know The Reg is a Cloudflare customer?

Meta sues 'nudify' app-maker that it claims ran 87k+ Facebook, Instagram ads

I saw these ads....

...well my daughter did when on FB marketplace.

They were complete full frontal nudes, which just goes to show that the automatic content moderation does not work at all on adverts

What's that Skippy? They would lose money if they followed their own rules?

Starbucks brews up AI to support baristas instead of replace them

Ahhh AI ..

Mozilla frets about Google's push to build AI into Chrome

Gemini is dog shit

I did a search on myself to see what's out there, just using my name and village

Now I do some t-shirt designs and some other bits and bobs, but nothing major and only brings in beer money.

However according to the heap of shit that is AI, I'm a freelance designer (I'm not) that has done illustrations and design works for Sony Pictures, Apple and LEGO. I also reviewed a pub in my local town.

Well at least it got the last part right.

Blocking stolen phones from the cloud can be done, should be done, won't be done

Re: Nice idea

"they won't because they listen to public opinion"

As a public service, isn't this what they should do.

"Dear public would you like free food, housing and pay no taxes?"

Re: Nice idea

Yes, catching criminals is so hard and expensive, let's just "give up then"

AHH the either or bullshit arguement.

If you make the phones pretty much worthless, then that crime massively decreases. They then can shift focus to other issues, like stolen vehicles that are stripped and shipped.

There are finite resources.

If this country had half brain, they would actually look at research and massively alter multiple laws (personal possession of drugs, soliciting prostitution, TV licence prosecution, copyright laws)....but they won't because they listen to public opinion, driven by self serving media outlets.

Ex-NASA Admin pick blames Musk ties for pulled nomination

Totally agree.

It's the same reason drone aircraft are much, much cheaper.

Robots don't need heavy, expensive life support, and if the robot dies, the whole project isn't cancelled for another 20 years.

If he said, it would be a great achievement to get people on Mars, then fine.

Also the shit about chucking loads of telescopes is just nuts. It's a dumb as buying a 10 telescopes off Temu then boasting 3 of them can just about see the moon.

Techie traced cables from basement to maternity ward and onto a roof, before a car crash revealed the problem

At my last place....

We had a 2mb (wow) infra red link between two buildings. We noticed often it would just go down for about 30 minutes in the morning for apparently no reason.

So myself and the network manager got up nice and early for a few mornings, and saw nothing wrong and the link stayed up. Then one cold morning there it was, the issue staring us right in the face, or should that be blinding us in the face.

On a clear day the sun rose up behind building two directly behind the dish, network went down. As it got higher, the network restored.

Elon Musk pukes over pork-filled budget bill with Tesla subsidies on the line

It's hilarious....

....Tesla stock crashing even more, TACO taking his ball back and throwing a hissy fit. Brat boy pretending he's standing up for the middle classes.

Narcissistic asshole

I really must watch Team America again.

UK tech job openings climb 21% to pre-pandemic highs

Maybeeeeee, just maybe

If the "jobs" were outside one of the most expensive cities in the world, they could fill these vacancies.

Taking a £1million pound mortgage for a squat isn't the best idea for a job that is likely to vanish in the next 12 months.

LinkedIn CEO takes on second gig to lead Microsoft Office and M365 Copilot

LinkedIn is fantastic.

Take ChatGPT back to the 2010s and they’d think AGI arrived, says Altman

So come on Sam....

Give us a date.

Ooooo in the future AI will do something ...sometime....in the future. It will somehow do something it can't do....in the future.... sometime... It will do something.

Asshole.

Re: Picking a side

"So it's Okay to work with Nazis because Russia Bad?"

Dear comrade

If given the choice between your entire family being wiped out or living with a bunch of assholes next door, what choice will you make?

Neither choice is good.

Re: Picking a side

Yes Finland sided with the Germans.

It was a case of the enemy of my enemy type scenario.

The big difference is Hitler had no intention of conquering Finland and enslaving the population, whereas Russia did.

History is NEVER black and white, just varying shades of grey.

GlobalFoundries commits $3B more to US fabs in Trump tariff flex

The Sums really are mostly bollocks.

We're investing X in so and so

But how much money is actually being spent in the USA? How many full time jobs will it create?

Are the people there to employ?

If I set a car factory in the USA and say "Look I'm "investing" a billion in the USA"

Just ignore it's employing a just a few people on minimum wage, and we'll be buying all the robots from Japan, the lighting from Canada, the paint from France, the assembly line from Korea, the steel from China."

Oh you want us to use everything from the USA? No problem, the small car will now cost $100,000.
