The natural gas they are burning is being bought from the market and that will more than likely lead to increased natural gas costs.

That impressed me the most. 1TB storage is minimum now too.

I think the point is making sure people know and actually see the cost of the research. If advocating for animal welfare leads to people being angry at you, be more open and transparent with exactly how animals are being tested at your research facilities. Be so open that PETA doesn't need to expose you cause there's nothing to expose.

I'm impressed by the fidelity of these images as I zoom in. Just incredible detail.

How would an OLED screen be an improvement over an ipad 8th generation? I'm debating on what to upgrade to but I mainly use my ipad for reading comics nowadays. Movies/TV are for the big screen.

I have to imagine that's not available to avoid training by commercial entities. https://www.transformativeworks.org/ai-and-data-scraping-on-...

It's not a novel idea, but its provable that someone can take this same concept and do something truly groundbreaking. I wonder if there's value in the idea that you can join a supercomputer network of MAC/Nvidia GPUs as a way of getting off cloud and into "our cloud". As long as you offer compute, you have credit into the system to be able to support your own workloads that can't be done on just your hardware. Need to address concerns about privacy, abuse, etc, but Apple's idea here has some merit if applied right.

Amazing build and a reminder that adults need play just as much as kids do.

Seems to work with Vulkan shaders. There's also a link to master's thesis for more details that I'll have to tear through later and possibly hope to understand.

The pace of conversation is a nice graph. Are you still ingesting articles? I see data going back to 2020.

Noticing how the M6 has finally doubled the M1's single core performance, nearly six years later. The M1 mini was my first foray into mac computing. I used it as my daily driver until I got the M1 Macbook Pro a year later. Been using that ever since. I think Apple's real problem is that they built machines that can last. I've had no interest in upgrading or buying something else, even though I want to just for pet projects but can't justify the extra cost.

The Irregular post mortem comes down to lack of basic security controls

"Ultimately, most of the issues we’ve discovered were due to internet access controls."

That seems so incredibly basic and common sense that you would test and monitor for that type of outbound access. It is baffling that a security lab missed that.

The headline is not misleading, the article actually links to the incident with OpenAI and Irregular which is here: https://openai.com/index/third-party-cyber-evaluations-invol...

That's cause Irregular was not involved in that event, they were involved in a separate event OpenAI published here: https://openai.com/index/third-party-cyber-evaluations-invol...

In that article, OpenAI provides the context that this is a completely separate event from Hugging Face incident.

How would they be self-hosted? Someone would have setup the model in that scenario, the same investigation and outrage should occur in that case.
