Someone needs to archive the original blog post on archive.today, then add it as a link on that wiki page as an example

It's not just that there isn't anything stopping them from selling them directly (instead of trans-shipping via the other side of the world), it's that it will be substantially cheaper to do so. Don't have to pay to ship to America. Don't have to pay to process and store in America. Don't have...

FIA want F1 to be the premium grade, but to do that it needs to stay ahead of Formula-E cars. The Gen3 F-E car design was hamstrung a bit so it wouldn't be faster than the F1 cars, the gen4 cars that will race in F-E next year will probably be about as fast (or slightly faster on some tracks) as...

They see them as useful idiots, distracting the west. They also have a real vested interest to prop them up enough to see how far they can go on Ukraine before real push back from the rest of the world, so the CCP can see how far they can go without consequences on Taiwan.

Dear Ars, Please don't report on annual revenue and quarterly losses. Companies do this to hide how bad they are doing, and I expect better of you than to repeat their BS.

Its also the sort of task that would be better suited to an agent built into the email system (eg Gemini in gmail) that understands the metadata and its context, rather than an agent in the browser just running off what is presented in front of it. The real utility of a browser based agent is...

Your first paragraph highlights the thinking behind the justification for the tariffs - that the US has so much buying power to be able to force everybody else in the world to give them a better deal. Your second paragraph highlights the problem with this thinking - if the the US doesn't have...

Having successfully highjacked the term "AI" to only refer to their own statistical language model, they are now trying to generously provide everybody with a definition of their next target that shifts from "it can do certain things" to "we can charge a certain amount for it". It would be...

This is just another example of defenders not being able to think like attackers. If anybody ever uses the presence of a watermark to tell if something is AI generated, then not including the watermark is a really easy way to convince them its real. The further you push the reliance on the...

Manchild-in-charge

The electric cars are faster through the corners, accelerate faster and brake later, so have a higher average speed than F1 cars on the same track. Sadly FIA artificially limits their power and therefore top speed so F1 remains the premiere motor racing grade. A few years ago there was a hybrid...

I love how "needs to have competition" is always interpreted by the loser as "you need to pay twice as many twice as much" and never "we need to be competitive".

You have kind of missed a step, its more like: Google - offers automated ad auctions Microsoft - offers automated ad auctions Google - controls the ad auction marketplace (which is getting in trouble for playing better with Google's auctions than anybody else's) Microsoft could, in theory...

I'm sure I saw him palm a (green) time stone, so I'm betting that the variant he's going to be chasing is a future version of himself. Doing timey-wimey stuff to get himself picked-up and offered the job to help the TVA instead of being ret-conned, and then each episode will be future Loki...

biggest Pro - doesn't have the baggage of Android biggest Con - doesn't have the baggage of Android Some of the design considerations early in Android's development were less than ideal, especially for how it is now used, and Fuchsia aims to do those things better. The problem is the decade of...

Can you really call it a "hack" if they use standard calls in a public API?

Yeah, the whole "smart" zombie thing always seems to clash so badly with other aspects of what's going on. They got turned into zombies, killed/ate/turned everybody, got trapped behind a wall with zero food source, then somehow became super-smart and super-athletic.........because otherwise your...

This is just completely wrong. The article makes it clear that the company lost hundreds of millions of dollars, so it should have a very low value; hence the shorting on what was already considered an over-valuation. All the people jumping in to buy the stock did so, not because they believed...

Except this completely ignores that all the existing investors in Discord were there because they wanted a return on their investment. Nothin has actually changed.

Except its not really. They are committing the same crimes, for the same reasons. It's just that newer technologies limit the impact for users, largely because FF manages to be a reasonable competitor and push what people expect from their browser (which Netscape failed to do, allowing IE to get...
