The fall of Bashar Assad after 14 years of war in Syria brings to an end a decades-long dynasty
Lose a shithead dictator, gain another Islamic theocracy.

It’s the same story as with the Arab spring, we all thought it was going to be different. This is just from awful to worse I’m afraid.

Nvidia falls 14% in premarket trading as China's DeepSeek triggers global tech sell-off

While this is great, the training is where the compute is spent. The news is also about R1 being able to be trained, still on an Nvidia cluster but for 6M USD instead of 500

"How do I remove mdm from this laptop I didn't steal?"
You don’t, Apple Business Manager will pickup the serial and register it for MDM by applying whatever profile.
The only way is either with proof of purchase or by contacting the MDM admin.

Xbox's new hardware plans begin with a [PC OEM] gaming handheld set for later this year, with full next-gen consoles targeting 2027
I’ll believe it when I see Windows running at any sort of performance and battery life in a handheld format. Windows always has issues with breaking out the desktop or very robust laptop format.

I’m not sure. That’s a very static view of the context.
While china has an AI advantage due to wider adoption, less constraints and overall bigger market, the US has higher tech, and more funds.
OpenAI, Anthropic, MS and especially X will all be getting massive amounts of backing and will reverse engineer and adopt whatever advantages R1 had. Which while there are some it’s still not a full spectrum competitor.
I see the is as a small correction that the big players will take advantage of to buy stock, and then pump it with state funds, furthering the gap and ignoring the Chinese advances.
Regardless, Nvidia always wins. They sell the best shovels. In any scenario the world at large still doesn’t have their Nvidia cluster, think Africa, Oceania, South America, Europe, SEA who doesn’t necessarily align with Chinese interests, India. Plenty to go around.

But I’d imagine any Chinese operator will handle scale much better? Or?

I agree, but they are very shitty “heroes” to the point of causing plenty of villain like fallout 😅 the rest really fits the bill though.

Yes. Reality is often a worsening of conditions rather the opposite, this has been the norm.
It’s unfortunate.
On one hand we do have to “applaud” a brutal dictator being deposed, which as an isolated fact is good. On the other hand, what will follow will be much worse, which is bad.

Ok, that makes sense. I expected it to be kinetic into thermal.
But then in a place like the ISS with all the people all the time, does it mean extra heat inside? What would happen if you played loud music? I mean vacuum does not the heat away from you quickly, and there’s nothing to take the kinetic energy. After years of people talking and beeps beeping, where did it go?
Thank you!

Starfield + Gamepass Question
Reply in thread
Yes that makes sense :)
But if I buy the game after would the 35€ count towards it? Or is it just a sink cost tied to Gamepass?
