I suspect they anticipate exponential increases in ML generated content creation quality and/or they expect that users will gobble up AI slop and it won’t effect medium/long term engagement growth.

This seems to be a different US government agency, but this seems to contradict earlier US statements about the limited impact of sanction on China’s semiconductor development.

I am surprised it took so long. This is genuinely useful feature, albeit with the restriction that you can’t physically cover the webcam.

Nice design retro-inspired design, but too bad touchscreen seems to be subpar.

I also can’t stand 75% keyboards, but that’s a personal preference.

Don’t have much experience with ultrawide unfortunately.

I did notice the ASUS PG39WCDM and LG 39GS95QE-B are OLED.

The OLED Burn-In Test: 9-Month Update

I’ve never had an OLED monitor, so I can’t speak from experience, but the findings of the above-mentioned experiment are not very comforting considering it’s a mere 9 months of running the test. I have some older OLED smartphones with burn-in and it’s extremely annoying for regular use.

Seems like a rather as ingenious way to reduce atmospheric CO2 as long as the mineral CO2 deposited in the ocean is actually inert.

I think it is becoming pretty clear that we won’t be able to achieve CO2 reduction goals, so additional approaches to reduce actual CO2 are very much needed.

Edward Sanders, the CEO of Equatic, argues scalability is key. He told the BBC that the company’s approach could theoretically remove up to 20% of current global CO2 emissions if around 1,200 large facilities were deployed by the mid-2040s.

1,200 large facilities to account for 20% of current CO2 emissions seems in the realm of viability.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a workstation/enterprise class Blackwell mobile GPU with more VRAM.

Google has had it’s own TPUs since 2015.

Amazon is working on a 2nd gen version of its own ASIC. I believe the 1st gen is available on AWS.

From my understanding, the main challenge is software and ecosystem support (a major issue for Intel and AMD as well and they’ve been at it for far longer).

On one hand, I wish there were more options and competition in the laptop/smartphone form factor, but then again I also wouldn’t buy the OneXPlayer even the design does look interesting.

Did not know they had a 65% share in the US. They are pretty popular where I live, but people also earn a lot less than in the US
