Except some people want to win and don't care about their own personal performance.

Disputes between large companies can still lead to extra pressure to reform the DMCA system.

Adding onto this, the Noita Eye messages are a great read for someone who has some spare time:

The random numbers seem to be really stable on the first prompts!

For example:

pick a number between 1 - 10000

> I’ll go with 7,284.

They do go into the levels of chemical found. From the article:

"Up to 351 mg/kg of bisphenols detected—35× higher than proposed EU limits"

There is far more data available in the orginal report:

There's still a difference when it comes to die size and transistor counts dedicated between the two core types.

Archive.today has several aliases including archive.ph, but archive.org is managed by the Internet Archive and unassociated.

What makes you know this is AI generated? I’m not seeing any obvious signs at first glance.

It's not incomprehensible. Discord makes it so much easier to organize communities than most other platforms.

Telegram, Slack, Facebook, Team Speak, Reddit, GroupMe, nothing really offers the same feature set and ease of setup that Discord does.

But that would produce Firefox.

The goal with these tests is to see if the models can make something new, not just copy an existing solution.

That is the goal, at least.

I’ve used OVH for multiple projects and they’ve been wonderful to work with.

We can wait for that to start appearing in tests or benchmarks first.

I’m currently in Louisville and the smoke trail was visible for miles.

Here’s hoping that anyone injured makes a full recovery.

New comment by Choco31415 in "Apple M5 chip"

Choco31415 — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 17:21:08 +0000

Not quite. The announcement mentions that:

“M5 delivers over 4x the peak GPU compute performance for AI”

In this situation, at least, it’s just referring to AI compute power.

Here’s the multi core Geekbench progression:

M1: 8350

M2: 9700

M3: 11650

M4: 14600

M5: 16650 (estimated)

This is assuming an 8% uplift as mentioned. Also nice.

Can confirm. I’m currently on Mint and have used Tello before. They both offer great service.

A sequence is easy to verify. Choosing the sequence not so much.

Roughly put that is the certificate definition of being in NP.
