Hacktivists? These are clearly state-sponsered and managed groups.

The title is clickbait, the analysis is somewhat bombastic, but somewhat more nuanced.

There’s several high level videos out there explaining it, but if you’re looking for a nitty-gritty walkthrough like Ben Eater’s videos, you’re going to be waiting a good number of years, IMO

The high level videos are fine, but I haven't seen any content pieces that explain how quantum computers are built and operated from base principles. I recognize that there won't be any "build a basic quantum computer at home" types videos, but something that goes through the specifics of how a hardware qubit is built and how it operates with simplest use case possible.

I keep reading about Quantum computing and while I understand the use cases and the general operating logic, I still find it difficult to get how it works on a technical level (I've watched/read multiple explanation content pieces).

I wish there was something like Ben Eater's "Building an 8-bit breadboard" series for quantum computing. It's pretty dense, but even watching it on the second monitor did give a useful perspective on how CPU's actually work.

The US should have really labelled russia as state sponsor of terrorism. They sent a cruise missile into children's cancer hospital in Kyiv. Is this not at least as bad as what Al Qaeda did with 9/11? I would argue it's worse; they didn't target a children's hospital after all.

For a such a price I would expect a larger Optane SSD (I am assuming you would use it for your boot/application drive).

2TB base storage is also ridiculous for such a price, although you can fit a lot of music in 2TB even if you store everything in FLAC.

Smoke less weed. 😄

This is crazy. How can they just take down your domain without at least discussing the issue.

He strikes me as a "wannabe American". As someone who has lived in the US, but didn't necessarily want to immigrate on a permanent basis, you can smell the deep insecurity with Elmo on this issue.

Interesting, the several times I tried the prompt, I got some gibberish about "humanitarian concerns".

This was earlier in the year though.

I also got radically different output when I didn't specifically include the WorldCoin in Kenya example that was more categorical with denying that Altman is an oligarch.

Prompting Gemini LLM about Sunder Pichai was also interesting.

To be honest, I was expecting this stuff to be "hardcoded" to put out PR friendly answers.

This doesn't seem to be for a handheld though. The addition of HDMI CEC and the high TDP suggests this seems to be a console of sorts.

Beautiful irony to see this coming from Sam "Worldcoin" Altman.

Bonus points, try inputting a prompt into ChatGPT asking whether Sam Altman is an oligarch and his "rescue" of Worldcoin executives in Kenya is an example of oligarch power.

Is mmWave even a thing?

I live in a country with no 5G yet (honestly I don't feel like I am missing out all that much), but I haven't really heard that much about mmWave after the initial PR push during the early introduction of 5G.

As I was reading this rather information dense piece (the part on Ruthenium interconnect required multiple re-readings for some reason), a strange thought came to my head.

I imagined a senior Intel executive having to explain this research to Trump (or even his senior advisors). How would you even summarize this in a concise (e.g. x3 bullet points) way while still emphasizing the importance of this research?

"Using "next gen" ruthenium instead of legacy copper for greatly improved semiconductor wiring and electricity distribution"

Something like that? 😀

They want the best of both worlds.

Or perhaps the "have your cake and eat it too" idiom would be more appropriate.

At one point BitTorrent/P2P was responsible for something like 30-40% of all global internet traffic.

The thing is the protocol never really developed beyond some useful, but minor evolutionary updates.

Short-form vertical video social platforms are here to stay.

We are not going to turn back the clock. I say this as someone who doesn't use TikTok.

The only semi-realistic (and I use this term very casually) option would be some sort of radical, never-seen-before change in our global societal and socioeconomic models. The dynamics of short form video social media will be the least of our concerns in such a scenario.

I still use HDDs for mass/archival storage and will continue to do so, but I do think in 5-10 years SSD $/TB will be catch up to HDD (or come close enough where more and more people will choose SSDs).

We'll found out in 5-10 years. 😀

I wonder if these 30TB+ drives will ever come to the consumer realm.

I have a feeling that NAS-scale consumer SSD arrays will likely be a better option in the medium to long term.

Chinese chip makers have been barred from using Arm's advanced Neoverse V-series CPU cores for some time now. HiSilicon will likely leverage a modified version of the Armv8 ISA or even Armv9 for that matter since both architectures are not subject to the US trade ban.

Modified version of an ARM ISA? Does ARM even sell licenses that allow a fully independent child branch ISA based on ARM IP?
