Good Evening, “RISC-V” was a 12-year, 17-day sociological study conducted by University of California, Berkeley. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

cool to be running a @discord.com server with 10,000 people that someone brigades in order to mass report, getting the the accounts of mods and the only admin (me) disabled for a joke I made 6 years ago noticed I couldn't send DMs to my clients anymore for my current freelance work so, cool, thanks

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Really incredible but entirely predictable that, with the all the likely potential to damage the already lackluster state of AOWR for years to come, Roger Penske would go out of his way to do something so incredibly divisive with zero guarantee of success because politics.

I keep seeing takes that F1 is leaving IndyCar in the dust in America, but IndyCar found a way to embarrassingly link up with an unpopular despot of a country for a street race without even leaving its home market. That's innovation! F1 has to go to other continents to do that!

Initial appraisal on Xe3: It's a nice improvement over Xe2, and it's a good thing it isn't a radical change generationally: L1$/SLM increasing to 256 KiB in-line with Battlemage is appreciated, and the doubling of L2$ to 16 MiB is even more welcome given limited memory bandwidth.

My guess gaming this in my head as someone with limited knowledge: Only way out is for at least one major power to retaliate (reasonable concession already has been shown to be unviable). Probably PRC, perhaps also EU—PRC has already shown that retaliation prompts the USA to shoot its foot harder.

This trend seems to be growing here. False comfort that AI doesn’t work or that it isn’t getting better is pervasive on Blue Sky. As a result, people who could add important points of view to current discussions on the meaning & use of AI instead try to believe they don’t have to think about it.
