They've hit a wall, 5 is just an improved 4o.

When are Google going to get chrome up and running on Linux aarch64? I can't believe there isn't already enough demand.

It's called over-hyped.

How else are they going to simulate everything in the future with incredible detail?

Brilliant work, this problem has been solved before, but in this case, it seems to take it a little further in terms of quality.

Once Arm and battery life shift occurs with Linux and Windows, they'll (ie. Apple) be on the front foot again with something new, that's the beauty of competition.

This is going to change once Arm on Linux becomes a thing with Qualcomm's new jazz. I am mostly tethered to a dock with multiple screens. I have been driving Ubuntu now for over 4 years full time for work.

Expecting the same, this is going to be a MASSIVE flop. VR is not for the masses until the goggles go away.

This is interesting, but lua needs a refresh.

I think berrylang shows a lot of promise now https://berry-lang.github.io/. The documentation has improved a lot and while it doesn't have a 'luajit' yet it has a lot of really interesting optimisation/reduction techniques.

I think it has more to do with the explosion of use in the market, it's everywhere now (from McMansions to cheap apartments). It is was just cheap/expensive enough to replace laminated MDF benchtops.

I suggest people look at the actual numbers -> https://lungfoundation.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/NSP...

Every one of them over zero is bad, but I was surprised how small the sample of active cases actually are. It would have been better to show the change year on year though.

I was surprised that the sample rate was so few, that is active cases.

Didn't they removed crypto export controls because they had other means to achieve the same outcome?
