> Why should drug cartels have free and EASY access to such wonderful encrypted sales platform? Isn't it time to update the law and catch up with tech?
To me, this as ridiculous as saying "Why should drug cartels have free and EASY access to the internet?". The genie is out of the bottle, and there is no substitute for good old fashioned (hard) police work.
Not quite. Finding and ordering drugs using the good old www without "people nearby" feature is a big difference, wouldn't you agree? Technology improved, police work must improve too.
To make matters more confusing, on some Macbook models (locale dependent?) the backspace key is labeled as "delete" (but still functions as a backspace key, unless you hold fn)
This deserves a black bar. He was a pioneer in computer security and was essential in kickstarting the important field of security economics. So sad to hear about this.
Ross Anderson is a giant, but the discourse about whose passing does or doesn't merit the "black bar" is --- unintentionally, in virtually every case! --- toxic. You can mail hn@ycombinator.com with the suggestion. I share your sorrow, regardless.
My question is why Apple would spend sweat and blood trying to make an “extreme” large chip for a very small handful of customers. To me, the economics don’t add up. The Ultra was already going beyond what they need and that at least was sensibly reusing multiple Max dies. Someone describe the effort:reward ratio to me.
> 6. M3 Extreme is going to be insanely power, without any E cores. This chip's integrated GPU will likely be neck and neck with Nvidia's flagship desktop GPUs.
And to compete against them Apple would need to make a separate GPU, not an integrated GPU.
The claim isn't plausible anyway. A single chip can't expend as much energy as a flagship desktop GPU, and Apple doesn't have some 10x more efficient method of computation.
I read somewhere (probably here) that apples a device company and so it makes sense for them to focus on device based AI.
With that in mind, having an apple ecosystem where you can prototype and train large models to then pack down to smaller apple devices makes a fair amount of sense.
