So does NVIDIA, just turns out NVIDIA can profit more because of their software and the software ecosystem around it adds so much value, nobody can compete. It's gonna take a lot of work and many years to approach that. Even by leveraging AI. And by diverging with their own chips, they're gonna miss out on the mainstream.


I don't know much about the software-side of nvidia/gpus + LLMs. Can you catch me up on what software they've created means as a differentiator? Is that CUDA? How does this relate to things like tensorflow with Google's chips?


3 copies. Always. Spread them out on different companies and technologies.


And physical locations


Stanford agrees with Trump? Weird.


You phrased this poorly, but it's a worthwhile discussion to have.

People recall Trump as having said something about "forest management" as contributing to the California wildfires. That part is strictly true! The actual wording of his claims though, weren't for prescribed burns but rather [1]:

> "I said, you gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up."

That quote could be read in good faith to include prescribed burns, because it's not explicitly saying how to "clean" the forests. The article goes on though:

> Trump’s suggestions have prompted head-scratching from experts who say his prescriptions — more raking, less water released into the ocean for environmental purposes — suggest he does not understand the science of wildfires. Critics also point out that most of California’s wildlands are federally managed.

And re: the Paradise fires:

> Back then, he pointed to Finland, claiming its leader said the European “forest nation” had “spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things. And they don’t have any problem.”.

> Finnish President Sauli Niinistö later said he told Trump that Finland takes care of its forests but did not say anything about raking.

So he wasn't wrong that forest management matters. But he wasn't supporting controlled burns either. The combination of his control over federal forest land and this quote:

> “Maybe we’re just going to have to make them pay for it because they don’t listen to us,” he added.

is what rankled people.

Finally, while forest management contributed to the California wildfires of the last 5 years, PG&E's mismanagement of power lines and power line maintenance played a large role as well. Either way, having people rake the leaves wouldn't have done much :).

I always wondered how a company could offer free video hosting in exchange for mining them and creating AI. Once they've been mined and they know who watches them, the content becomes superfluous and I suppose it can get deleted. So that is where we are now.


It's open source, fork it and knock yourself out.


I just love awkward English.


I just read kde is getting hdr support. What about gnome?


Gnome is currently helping to design a standard HDR protocol for Wayland, they definitely won't add HDR support into the DE unless there is a standardized protocol for it (which is a good thing IMO)


HDR is key. Finally!


This is huge, but only for games(?). I'm looking forward to video support as well.

HDR is a major missing feature in Linux, which makes it not ideal for HTPC usage.


Wait, is it the car or the driver? I'm a little confused.


The driver. It’s only a meme about the car manufacturers because many such drivers seem to choose similar vehicles.
