The only advantage of teams is that it’s bundled with other Microsoft software. It’s worse than slack in every way. It’s a textbook example of a monopoly.

To be fair anything short of selling chrome or breaking up the company would have a positive reaction. The possibility of losing chrome was priced in.

Perplexity (an “AI search engine” company with 500 million in funding) can’t bypass cloudflare’s anti-bot checks. For each search Perplexity scrapes the top results and summarizes them for the user. Cloudflare intentionally blocks perplexity’s scrapers because they ignore robots.txt and mimic real users to get around cloudflare’s blocking features. Perplexity argues that their scraping is acceptable because it’s user initiated.

Personally I think cloudflare is in the right here. The scraped sites get 0 revenue from Perplexity searches (unless the user decides to go through the sources section and click the links) and Perplexity’s scraping is unnecessarily traffic intensive since they don’t cache the scraped data.

The bench numbers seem about right for 200GB/s bandwidth. The prefill speeds are really impressive for an SBC though.

They’ve been saying this for the last 2 years

They get a new feature to boast about

“Free market” fans when free market

The speed of many machine learning models is bound by the speed of the memory they’re loaded on so that’s probably the biggest one.

They’ll sell each of them off to be run into the ground by some other billionaires. Both are heavily subsidized by Google’s ad business which is still somewhat unobtrusive up front. As much as Google’s services have degraded, it will be much worse with another company at the helm trying to squeeze as much value out of their investment as possible.

This will be the subprime mortgage crisis of the 2020s.

Looks like I got early access: %

Tech bros have ruined the prestige of a lot of titles. Software “Engineer”, Systems “Architect”, Data “Scientist”, Computer “Wizard”, etc.

You can but if you want to get a perfect score at the evaluation after year 2 you need to complete the community center and meet a few other requirements. You can reevaluate at any time after the 2 years but it’s more interesting to do it within the original time limit.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Stardew Valley is the most anxiety filled game I’ve ever played. 100s of goals, each with many codependencies and individual time constraints, all to be completed within a 2 year window.

Probably just a reporting bug. Comments stayed consistent.

exFAT is still the best format for multiplatform compatibility so it’s good to see that it’s still getting maintained.

“Don’t shoot! I’m with the science team!”

I’d guess the 3 key staff members leaving all at once without notice had something to do with it.

Fragmenration is not preferred by most users and many of the services and systems these two run require large international teams. That’s not to say that they don’t need to be checked by antitrust.
