The Absurdity of the Dump-Biden Uprising
  • If you ask me what’s absurd is clinging on to Biden against all the evidence. He’s clearly super unpopular, and that’s in no small part to his age.

    He must step aside and basically any halfway reasonable candidate under 60 would be in with a decent shot of the job. Give the population something to vote for rather than vote against.

  • Please vote
  • I think he was massively over coached. Trying to fight to remember a ton of talking points and then getting them muddled up and stuck in that detail. He’d have been better off just freestyling it.

  • robots.txt is a suggestion
  • TikTok spider has been a real offender for me. For one site I host it burred through 3TB of data over 2 months requesting the same 500 images over and over. It was ignoring the robots.txt too, I ended up having to block their user agent.

  • One thing the EU got right was reducing interchange fees to 0.5%. The ridiculous situation in the US where airlines have become credit card companies that happen to have planes is madness.

    Folks might like kickbacks but they’re paying for them anyway, it’s just hidden in the price and subsidised by folks who don’t use these cards.

    The US should follow the EU’s lead here.

  • Valve faces a £656 million lawsuit in the UK for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers'
  • Yeah. If this restriction exists it’s pretty clear it only applies to selling steam keys on another platform, not for selling generally. Pretty often games are cheaper on Epic or GOG and don’t use steam for delivery.

  • These are all the devices compatible with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18
  • The A16 Bionic has as Neural Engine capable of 17 TOPS but 6GB of RAM.

    The M1 had a Neural Engine capable of just 11 TOPS but all M1 chips have at least 8GB of RAM.

    So the model could run on an A16 Bionic if it had 8GB of RAM as it has 54% more TOPS than the M1, but it only has 6GB of RAM. Apple have clearly decided that a model small enough to fit just wouldn’t give good enough results.

    Maybe as research progresses they’ll find a way to make it work with a model with fewer parameters but I’m not going to hold my breath.

  • Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over OpenAI partnership
  • He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”

    I’d be very surprised if corporates wouldn’t just be able to disable it in MDM for their worker’s phones. Not sure it’s Apple who has ‘no clue’ here.
