...but these people just use it as a way of talking to the media. As long as people of power and influence shift, so will the press, and then so will everyone else.

Home many times do you hear "Trump, on his platform truth.social, said...."? They've gone there because he's gone there.

Political parties should host their own mastodon instances, and give their members accounts. Companies should do the same. It removes all the problems of imitation because the organisation stands as guarantor that the account is the official one.

The major thing it does is stop you logging into Facebook. This is by far the best thing you can do to make yourself happier.

You'll carry it until the plastic cracks and it falls off your keyring.

So don't put anything too private on there.

What I don't get with prompts like this that the content of that long prompt feels low compared to the number of words used. It feels like you should be able to be a lot more consise and still convey the same message.

However, in image prompting, consise tends to equal pedestrian, boring, images.

and that it was acting as a "challenger" to digital monopolies operated by established platforms such as Meta,

Did those in the room burst out into laughter at this point?

No shit!

Oh. American researchers.

Prediction is a hard problem when coupled with caches. It relatively easy to say that no speculative instruction has any effect until it's confirmed taken if you ignore caches. However caches need to fetch information from memory to allow an instruction to evaluate, and rewinding a cache to it's previous state on a mispredict is almost impossible. Especially when you consider that the amount of time you're executing non-speculative code on a modern processor is very low.

Not having predictions is consigning yourself to 1990s performance, with faster clocks.

Whilst some open source implementations exist, RISC-V is not open source. It's an open standard. i.e. there's no license fee to implement it.

This technology requires finance. You can't train a model without millions of dollars.

If the money goes the technology is dead until the cost of the training machines comes down a few orders of magnitude.

A ~~good~~ fast video codec that is ~~free~~ included with some video cards!

You've certainly paid for it, and it's focus is on giving acceptable quality at high speed. For example, for streaming.

A codec is a module that encodes and decodes (COder/DECoder...CoDec) information into a format. That format might be H.264 or VP9 or whatever.

So yes. NvEnc is a codec, or at least, it is when partnered with the hardware decoding also. It's a codec for multiple formats.
