It’s not the size the matters, it’s the amount of hands that matters.
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 1 week ago:
Sounds like the goal of the test wasn’t to vet ignition power in relation to output. These people are testing the durability of system designs that can maintain a reaction after ignition.
If this was a car, they wouldn’t be testing the fuel efficiency, they’d be testing how long they could drive before the wheels fell off.
- Comment on Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports 1 week ago:
IMHO, the old CEO kind of got a raw deal. He was right. To save intel, they need invest in fabs, not grow for a bit, and eventually separate the manufacturing and design businesses into two separate, unrelated companies. But investors want growth and money now, they don’t want to play the role of venture capital for a legacy company that needs to transform.
TSMC was able to advance its fabs because they have high volume from everyone that isn’t Intel. Intel’s fabs primarily make Intel stuff because they can’t get other clients. Other clients don’t manufacture with Intel because Intel’s design department can copy their homework. Intel needs to invest heavily into fabs, then split in two. If that doesn’t happen, chip manufacturing in the US is toast.

The point wasn’t to buy, the point was to fuck with the valuation and suffer zero repercussions.
- Comment on Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports 2 weeks ago:
ITT people are rightly pointing out that Broadcom would suck, but TSMC would also be a disaster. The world’s most critical fabs would be owned by one Taiwanese company, and building a competitor would be damn near impossible.
Chips from AMD, Intel, Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc would all come from one company. Yikes.

This guy found the original.
It was originally about Napster / Gnutella.

If you are going to use a cloud camera system, look into the company and make sure that they have proper E2EE.
And NVR is probably the best bet, but if you want a dumb consumer cloud cam, HomeKit Secure cameras like Eve are a reasonable solution. It’s all encrypted in iCloud, which cops still hate, which is a good sign.
- Comment on Google Assistant car mics might be shutting down soon 2 weeks ago:
Why on earth did they make these when they already had several automotive solutions that worked direct from the phone? This is such a dumb product.

If we had one more season of Silicon Valley, Russ would absolutely be rubbing finger prints out of his Founder Edition Cyber Truck.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 3 weeks ago:
Looking at the 2024 sales numbers of the lighting and R1T, the Cybertruck is selling well comparatively.
That said, I can’t imagine that the look of the truck, and the actions of Tesla’s CEO, are helping sales in anyway.

- Comment on Apple reportedly excited to power Apple Intelligence with DeepSeek 4 weeks ago:
This article doesn’t have any sources, and all of the sites talking about this are pretty unreliable. I’ll believe it’s real when the reliable rumor sites pick it up.
That said, Apple Intelligence has there tiers of prompt processing. Apple’s private on-device model, Apple’s private cloud model for more complex prompts, and external model integration for the most complex prompts processing. The latter is model agnostic.
Apple launched with ChatGPT as an optional integration, but in theory, it could plug into whatever. Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.
Apple will probably just swap GPT for DeepSeak in China, just like they swap Google for Baidu with search.
- Comment on Apple, Google, and Samsung will accept Matter certification for their own Works With programs 1 month ago:
My only problem is that matter support usually means “basic functionality” for your IOT devices. On / off, hot / cold, etc. You typically still have to create an account with a proprietary app to configure more nuanced things. For example, the shape and soil characteristics of my irrigation zones, the motion section trigger areas of my cameras, the fade and trim setting of my light switches, etc.
I don’t know how you sort this mess out. I’d love to never install a 3rd party app for IOT stuff, but I don’t see that happening anytime remotely soon.
- Comment on Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old 1 month ago:
The problem isn’t the alert itself, it’s that cops put Twitter links in the alert. If you want to see what the car, suspect, or victim look like, you need to be able to access Twitter.
Police have been doing this for years now. It’s a fast a cheap way to microblog without buying or supporting something with the city’s budget.
