My ex's best friend is one of.. 11? 12? I forgot. Probably more by now. Both parents of that family are weird but as far as I can tell it's mostly the mom who wants more but... I'm not entirely sure if she actually wants more children or she just likes getting parental pay which is 18 months in this country. On 12 kids that's 18 years that she hasn't had to go to work. Don't think the woman in the picture got 18 months

Nobody uses Bitcoin lol, it's a speculative asset now, not a cryptocurrency. You're an idiot if you use it.

On the one hand, I hate layoffs. On the other hand, clearly whichever employees get laid off next haven't been doing anything useful because literally nobody at Oracle has.

It's not unusual, but it's kind of a big deal for a corporation as large as Oracle to be doing it because it means they're hiding tens if not hundreds of billions from showing up on the bad side of their account charts.

So they've got negative cash flow so that they could show epic growth, but the growth itself is hella juiced because the GPUs are only relevant for about 3 years till the new ones are out and make more AI for less power. And they depreciate them over 7 years. More than twice as long as they can or should use the GPUs for.

They're also juicing their numbers. They've got obsolete GPUs on the books for years after they're irrelevant.

Ah fun, I didn't even know about that since the original ticket's location is never mentioned.

Well I'm still with the Americans on them not wanting it there. I don't want it here either. Knowing the EU and my own country in particular, they'll commission a big American tech company to provide it as a service. Maybe Palantir will start offering them lol

IPC in modern CPUs is up compared to 2007 or whatever though

Uhhhh

The article is about the US where cops are using ALPRs to track their exes

You REALLY sure people's data is going to be kept safe there?

Good for you if Australia's government isn't into spying. I personally don't trust a single government to have 24/7 recording video cameras everywhere.

They literally don't teach it at school and I'm pretty sure my grandpa couldn't tell the difference either so quite literally nobody taught me until I got a screwdriver kit that had both PH and PZ.

Uh why do you think that the private companies running the service are just going to do what they're told? For that matter, what makes you think the government itself wants a privacy-first solution? It's better to keep data indefinitely in case you need it in the future.

I'm not American myself, but phone use cameras can't work without being constantly on. Speeding cameras flash when speeding is detected, red light cameras too. Phone detection requires AI so it's gonna be a constant video stream. Everyone's going to be recorded 24/7 and it doesn't matter if you're driving, cycling or walking. Who says how long the data is being kept and where it's going?

I tend to think that having speeding cameras in crucial spots is necessary (in some places they straight up exist to collect funds though) and a busy or dangerous intersection absolutely merits a red light camera... But I don't want phone detection cameras purely because of how invasive it is.

I'm not sure demand for AV1 is enough to ship units

Probably either laziness or they want to avoid software decoding in general for performance reasons
