I guess because travel agencies need to be able to show customers the most economical flights?
By prohibiting agencies on their website, they can not give consumers (through their agents) the ability to compare different choices.

It for any large files. They want to limit bandwidth usage but not blanket limit everyone. One user using Plex of Jellyfin probably doesn't move the needle.
Yes and that's what people are criticizing - it's just an arbitrary and thus very bad rule. Completely unrelated to CloudFlare, I streamed a single TV series from a friend's plex account 1-2y ago, that's less traffic than some of my friends use in 2 weeks.
I'm not saying they can't have that rule, it's their infra - I'm just saying that "a boatload of bandwidth" can be anything, depending on who you ask.
What you really want to buy is a Ming Mecca chip. Original model came out around 2003, but they've been iterating. These things are bigger than AMD or nvidia silicon, actually even much larger than a gigantic Cerebras wafer, typically 500-900 million USD in price. As you could guess, Ming Mecca is not broadly publicized, historically used for NSA crypto cracking although now adapted to AI and used for data crunching from gathered messages. More recently all those gathered messages have been used for training strategic /tactical intelligence developments to oversee and deploy resources optimally via a cluster of, at least last I heard, 18 Ming Mecca v7 chips
The Coral TPUs are closer if anything to what's in Pixel phones. In particular they're limited to iirc 8-bit integer types, which puts them in a very different category of applications compared to the kind of TPUs being talked about here.
I ordered the framework desktop 395 - 128Gb edition for just under 1900 eur. With some extras I paid just over 2000 incl shipping to EU.
Didn’t feel overpriced to me.
Could you explain?
From my experience, they are exact digital copies of the ebooks on amazon. It’s not like mp3 in lower audio quality, it’s word by word the same book.
I tried downloading several Dresden Files ebooks from Anna's Archive. They contain various difficult-to-understand errors including word substitutions that tend to ruin the text. AA offers several editions, but they appeared to be the same error-filled book in different file formats. The errors are not present in the Kindle editions of the same books.
Me, Mistral and Claude writing modules on top of a homebrew assistant framework in node with a web frontend. I started out mostly handwriting the first couple modules and the framework for it. (todo and a time tracker) and now the AI is getting pretty good at replicating the patterns I like using, esp with some prompt engineering as long as I don't ask for entire architectures but just prod it along. It's just so easy to make the exact thing you want now. All the heavy lifting is done by ollama and the node/browser APIs.
The only dependency on the node side is 'mime' which is just a dict of mime types, data lives inside node's new `node:sqlite` everything on the front side that isn't just vanilla is alpine. It runs on my main desktop and has filesystem access (which doesn't yet do anything useful really) but the advantage here is that since I've written (well at least read) all of the code I can put a very high level of trust into my interactions.
Sorry to cross your excellent questions, but it doesn’t seem they are beating HP Z2 mini G1a to market. HP announced first week of January that it will be “available in spring”, while now framework announced for Q3.
It also seems HP will use the PRO version of the chip.
Kudos to framework for announcing the price and anchoring the market though!
I keep getting an error “your file exceeds the maximum allowed size” or something.
It’s a clip of 1:20 on iphone. I tried clipping it to 1 min but then it wouldn’t allow upload. I exported the clip to files and then uploaded but same error.
How may I reduce the file size on my iPhone?
Since the 2022 Russian invasion, the West has provided 200bn in aid to Ukraine [0]. And Russia has been winning on the ground lately. It seems the West is thinking more aid will not change the outcome, but only diplomacy will.
Russia has not been winning on the ground. It's two and a half years into the war and Russia is still stuck contesting edge territories. Russia has overwhelmingly larger numbers, but with as high as 7:1 casualties to Ukraine and with a significant increase in casualties over the last eight months.
The frontline is stabilized and the ruble is collapsing. What exactly is being won here?
The western aid was an important lesson on the importance of proper timing for investments: it was always too little to win, but too much to loose outright. Had Ukraine been able to strike with full force from the beginning, the world could look very different right now.
Russia has been gaining tiny amounts of ground while suffering massive losses. Latest estimates say casualties are currently averaging 1,500 a day.
Total casualties since the start of the war (less than 3 years ago) are 600,000+. That's about 200,000 more than more than the US sustained in Korea, Vitnam, First Gulf War, Afghanistan, and The Second Gulf War combine.
Heh, if you call few meaningless villages per day winning. Whats really happening is decimation of russian armed and naval forces (and young population) dramatically to the point where russia is regional power at best, not any form of superpower anymore and its weapons are often considered as subpar. They almost emptied massive cold war stockpikes of more sophisticated technology.
Which seems to be US plan since beginning, give enough support to make them bleed but not really corner them existentially to trigger nuclear strikes.
We can see a massive success here, mostly due to very predictable russian stupidity and primitive emotions at controlling positions. Well done CIA, well done indeed, hopefully this will make world a better place in the future. But it can easily backfire too.
This Russian losses are primarily not young people actually. There’s been somewhere in the ballpark of 600-800k casualties (I believe the latter) which has been a huge struggle for the labor force. But, in fairness, it hasn’t been the young folks.
Intel and Qualcomm are doing this, although Intel uses HBM and their hardware is designed to do both inference and training while Qualcomm uses more conventional memory and their hardware is only designed do inference:
They did not put it into the PC parts supply chain for reasons known only to them. That said, it would be awesome if Intel made high memory variants of their Arc graphics cards for sale through the PC parts supply chains.
