> Why? Because every line shared becomes collective momentum that accelerates the journey.

Truly admireable on their part and a great paradigm for others. Reasons for this doesn't really matter to me but I can't help but wonder if somehow they were obliged or otherwise indebted to follow this route.

What’s most disturbing and highly irresponsible about comments like that and all of the reporting on this development is that there’s almost zero acknowledgement that the lab in question was being funded by the US government and much of the Gain of Function research was being directed by a US nonprofit with ties to the US government.

macns commented on Apple introduces M4 chip   apple.com/newsroom/2024/0... · Posted by u/excsn

Together with next-generation ML accelerators in the CPU, the high-performance GPU, and higher-bandwidth unified memory, the Neural Engine makes M4 an outrageously powerful chip for AI.

In case it is not abundantly clear by now: Apple's AI strategy is to put inference (and longer term even learning) on edge devices. This is completely coherent with their privacy-first strategy (which would be at odds with sending data up to the cloud for processing).

Processing data at the edge also makes for the best possible user experience because of the complete independence of network connectivity and hence minimal latency.

If (and that's a big if) they keep their APIs open to run any kind of AI workload on their chips it's a strategy that I personally really really welcome as I don't want the AI future to be centralised in the hands of a few powerful cloud providers.

You mean .. with their said privacy-first strategy

music seemed really low quality to me as a musician. I wouldn't pay to listen to it

I bet there's plenty of other non-AI tracks you wouldn't pay to listen to

.. Sundar is announcing that DeepMind and the Brain team from Google Research will be joining forces as a single, focused unit called Google DeepMind

This would be enough as an anouncement, rest of it is just sugar coating.

What version of Firefox do you have installed? The up to date version is 107, released almost half a month ago. If you're on 106 or earlier, you're not running an up to date browser.

Which might be fine! If that's the kind of system that works for you.

  ~$ firefox -v
  Mozilla Firefox 102.5.0esr
.. which is November 15, 2022

Debian is good if you don't want up to date browsers, the only shock i had when i tried Debian after this snap fiasco, ironically that's among things snap is trying to solve (quick updates)

what? can you be more specific? I'm using debian as my daily desktop and firefox and I've never ever had issues with anything, especially the web browser. I'm also staying away from fancy new things like snap. I've always managed to get everything I wanted either using apt or dpkg.

Can you please give an example of an application you needed available only as a snap?

Why do I need Docker for such a simple task? From their blog:

> The proxy is extremely lightweight. An inexpensive and tiny VPS can easily handle hundreds of concurrent users. Here’s how to make it work:

    SSH into the server.
    Install Docker, Docker Compose, and git:
I'm sorry but installing Docker on a tiny VPS last time I checked wasn't any light at all.
