Most of the text on the site seems LLM written as well. Given that the scope of the project involves making their own programming language, OS, and computing hardware, but they don't seem to have made very much tangible progress towards these goals, I don't understand why they decided to spend time making a fancy project site before they have anything to show. It makes me doubt that this will end up going anywhere.
> They would have to be the biggest fools in tech history to not flip that switch
As much as I don't want ads infiltrating this, it's inevitable and I agree. OpenAI could seriously put a dent into Google's ad monopoly here, Altman would be an absolute idiot to not take advantage of their position and do it.
If they don't, Google certainly will, as will Meta, and Microsoft.
I wonder if their plan for the weird Sora 2 social network thing is ads.
Investors are going to want to see some returns..eventually. They can't rely on daddy Microsoft forever either, now with MS exploring Claude for Copilot they seem to have soured a bit on OpenAI.
It looks like Microchip is adding a portfolio of RISC-V chips to its lineup.
Microchip has a large number of easy-to-use chips, including the 8-bit PIC and AVR families, the 32-bit SAM which includes Cortex-M0, M23, M4, M7 Cortex-A5 and (lol) the ARM9 family (still available today for all the Jazelle fans), and even a bit of a MIPS processor sitting around.
It looks like PIC64-GX will be Microchip's RISC-V.

One of the cooler things in this announcement is the confirmation of linux4microchip.com support. linux4sam always was a good resource (and still is today: even for modern chips like SAM9x60).
To anyone still finding the game slow due to traffic, you can just git clone the game, add your ANTHROPIC API key to a .env file, and play it locally (this is explained in the README in our github repo). It runs super fast if played locally.
You cannot functionally limit wealth. Does 10 million include assets? What about company ownership? If a piece of art is worth more than 10 million, does it need to be owned by more than one person? Does it need to be cut in two?
If something you own appreciates and your wealth increases as a result, how quickly before you have to divest that asset?
What about non profit organizations? What about IP? What about software? When Minecraft was sold by a single owner, it was worth 10 million many, many times over. When exactly would it have been necessary for him to sell his company, and who would he have been obligated to sell it to?
Me too. The article had a good suggestion for Apple users: turn in Advance Data Protection. The article didn’t mention it, but I feel good about keeping Lockdown Mode activated.
Not only 4 more cores but the QC chip has 12 performance cores rather than the 4+4 setup of the M3.
So 50% in total core advantage and 200% when it comes to high performance cores only for 16% multi-threaded lead is hardly an advantage.
Ofc there are caveats to this if QC’s performance cores are closer to Apple’s efficiency cores in terms of size and power consumption then it’s a different story. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.
The other major caveat is that QC has so far only been demoing its SoCs on devboards which don’t share the same power and thermal restrictions as real world designs. Whilst the M3 figures are for real world hardware.
So squeezing the Snapdragon Elite into a MacBook Air style form factor might paint a very different picture.
I'd recommend people interested to listen to the Huberman lab podcast on "How Sugar & Processed Foods Impact Your Health". So in with an open mind, it's a good episode.
The podcast mentions of a food classification system in the US called the NOVA system, which classifies foods in supermarkets based on the degree to which they have been processed based on the above scale.
The Estonian e-ID system and Qualified Electronic Signature in the EU are good ideas. The government issues you a signed identity. You can use that signed identity to counter-sign challenges in places you'd otherwise (in the US) need to use a Social Security Number and a convoluted private market identity-verification system (for example, the stupid "were you associated with this address 4.5 years ago" things). Like opening a bank account, insurance, paying medical bills, taxes, etc.
Replacing driver's licenses with QR codes for physical interactions, on the other hand, doesn't seem to solve for much. We have a similar system in Colorado and I've never found any value in it; bars and liquor stores are under no obligation to accept it, so they don't.
If you check the How it Works post, they do show the Beeper Push Notification Service running in the cloud [1] to intercept 'new message available' APNs and then notify the Android device a new message is available.
I didn’t know they have that many people (9000) to work for a single product. I’ve been a subscriber for more than 5 years and the app on the iPhone just gets worse everyday. Why?
- daily updates is gone. This is where I can get a snapshot of all new releases from artists I love. I’m not sure if Release Calendar is the new one but I don’t bother to check.
- I listen to classical and the song title naming is just subpar. For example, “Well-tempered Clavier, Book 1, J.S Bach, Angela Hewitt, Prelude in C Major is too long to be in the title. Especially, the rat if the album is just a repeat alternate between prelude or fugue and the chord.
- recently play list stopped syncing between my phone and my desktop app after 2022 for some reason. Is it a bug or they just stop doing this since it costs more to sync?
I probably won’t switch to a different stream service for now as there is not much differences for me to migrate.
Not sure why there should be a legal distinction between the two. There are many possible ways to interact with stuff online (view it, "like" it, comment on it, save it, share it etc.), and if it is government-sponsored content then no one should be barred from doing any of this.
