Rekall is a company that provides memory implants of vacations, where a client can take a memory trip to a certain planet and be whoever they desire.
I think there are two parts to this. There are factors beyond clock rate; clock rate alone doesn’t give a full picture. Going from say 166 MHz to 1 GHz brings radical performance improvements without too many drawbacks, once you go above 3-4 gHz, the marginal increase in clock rates becomes increasingly expensive in terms of heat management.
EDIT: Didn’t realize there was difference between mHz and MHz.
Wait, so if you include LLM-derived source code into a GPL project, it loses it’s access to copyright?
This doesn’t make sense…
And one would thing the same would have to be true of proprietary software.
[Google] tried unsuccessfully to have the verdict reversed, but then Epic came to the rescue. In late 2025, the companies announced a settlement that skipped many of the court’s orders.
Epic leadership professed interest in leveling the playing field for all developers on Android’s platform. But US District Judge James Donato expressed skepticism of the settlement in January, noting that it may be a “sweetheart deal” that benefited Epic more than other developers. The specifics of the arrangement were not fully disclosed, but it included lower Play Store fees, cross-licensing, attorneys’ fees, and other partnership offers.
The best option for people in other countries that believe in freedom and justice (in the true sense, not in the American polemical sense) is to get rid of all American platforms. At least in tech, there isn’t a single major US platform that’s not involved in open criminality (and even crimes against humanity) and/or have an outright malicious attitude towards customers.
Another option would be full white-labeling with transfer of regional IP (copyright, trademarks, patent - everything) and any key operational infrastructure. Essentially, the US HQ would have zero control over of the platform and would get a small fee and that’s it.
The Chinese are smart enough to use this approach in verticals that they seem somewhat strategic (one can argue fully strategic areas are simply closed off to American oligarchs).
Does this have any meaningful impact on performance? From what I remember PCIe bandwidth restriction have a minor impact on performance (under 5%) and that to only in specific cases.
To hell with American technology platforms!
That’s not to say there aren’t (or can’t be) issues with platforms from other countries, but with platforms from US domiciled business entities you are unfortunately guaranteed to end up in a oligarchic quagmire with a giant serving of commitment to dishonesty, crime and corruption.
Even Mozilla became corrupted by US business types.
I avoid using similar user names and providing identical structured info, but I could see LLMs being able to unmask you from writing style and topics alone.
It only took Qualcomm 10+ years to get serious about wearable SoCs.
I remember them having some comically bad SoC SKUs for the wearables market that failed on key areas such as efficiency (battery life).
On one hand, I sort of understand the reasoning for this approach, on the other hand it’s crazy that the components market is in this state.
It sounds like he has way too much money and time on his hands.
This seems like such a short-sighted move on the part of AMD. The ~$50 discount you get with AMD GPUs is not worth the hassle of subpar software support when you are spending $500+ (if not a lot more, the cheapest 9060 XT in my country is around ~$500) a component that you expect to use ~5-7 years minimum.
As much as I don’t like Nvidia, I can be confident that my 3080 will continue to receive support for at least another ~5 years. It’s a perfectly capable GPU even at 1440 (let alone 1080).
But even if i wanted AI. Those 50TOPS arent useful for anything i believe?
That’s the question I’ve been asking myself. Reviews and marketing copytext constantly talk about the NPU and TOPS, but what applications is this relevant for?
Does this help with ML video upscaling solutions like Topaz Video AI? Does this help with running local LLMs (I didn’t have very good results on my 10 GB VRAM 3080)?
I have yet to hear from anyone what the NPUs are used for.

All American polemics and “pledges” are BS, at least with respect to anything substantial.
Not saying it was always like this and that it will always be like that, but it is reasonable to assume there it will take another generation (20-30 years) before we see any positive developments with respect to the culture of corruption, criminality and dishonesty that has unfortunately come to dominate American society.
Doesn’t matter if a hypothetical Barack Obama II comes to power. From my time in the living in the US (several years with extensive travel across many different states), the impression I got is that on real matters an Obama is actually not too different from a Trump. The biggest difference is that Trump owns his corruption and criminality (with excellent electoral success).
Even in foreign policy, Obama de facto approved the annexation of Crimea (our new leadership asked for support to fight the russian invasion of Crimea and were rejected) and he went along to characterize russia as “a regional power making trouble with its neighbors.”
A comically stupid approach that’s not too different from Trump’s gibberish.
And if you think I am being uncharitable, ask yourself the following question:
Meta has been found to knowingly enable fraud to gain $16 B in 2024 alone. Meta was also reported to have developed a “playbook” to manage this fraudulent scheme; so the whole thing was premeditated and with clear intent.
Is anything going to happen Meta (the entity) or Meta’s leadership (be it the far right or the centre right is in power)? Anyone who has lived in the US in the last ~30 years knows the answer!
I am aware of the difference between recovery options and sideloading applications. :) I’ve installed/used LOS (and other ROMs) multiple times and I am a heavy user of F-Droid and its applications.
Just pointing out that this is just one more reason to avoid Android (saying this a Samsung user).
After Google decided to ban sideloading (their alleged “change of heart” is increasingly looking like a PR exercise), I decided to not buy any more devices devices based on American platforms.
My A73 works fine, but I planning to get a Jolla phone later his year. Going to use both in parallel to aid in switching.
I do wish European banks and eGov services started porting their apps to SailfishOS.
This is definitely senior goons at Block engaging in some opportunistic PR.
I am one of those people who likes huge phones, even back when they were called Phablets (I also had company provided Note 3 and aNexus 6P).
I’ve been buying mid-range devices since mid 2010s (Nexus 5, Xiaomi Mi A1); mid-range devices were fine then and even more so now. The one drawback was camera quality, but IMO this has been resolved. These days I stick to the Samsung A series. I bought my A73 in mid 2022 and I see no reason to upgrade (although battery charge is starting to become an issue, although it’s manageable). It’s too bad Samsung sunset the A7X series.
I can’t imagine spending more than $500 - $600 on a smartphone (and even that is pushing it past the optimal spot on the price to performance curve).
You’re going to need one powerful GPU to run this. My old 3080 won’t cut it.
Haha )
