It’s OpenAI in particular trying to screw everyone else. The wafers they contracted from Samsung and SK Hynix are something like 40% of those companies’ production. There isn’t enough production volume for the other AI companies to over order like that.

Is Rubio going to scold Trump when he inevitably says something he shouldn’t have?

When the recipe calls for “a bottle of soy sauce” you’re not supposed to throw in the actual bottle.

Just to be clear, the FDA has only reversed its refusal to review the vaccine for approval; it hasn’t been approved:

In an announcement Wednesday morning, Moderna said the FDA has now agreed to review its vaccine after the company held a formal (Type A) meeting with the FDA and proposed a change to the regulatory pathways used in the application.

Since the summary doesn’t say which three popular password managers:

As one of the most popular alternatives to Apple and Google’s own password managers, which together dominate the market, the researchers found Bitwarden was most susceptible to attacks, with 12 working against the open-source product. Seven distinct attacks worked against LastPass, and six succeeded in Dashlane.

Benj Edwards handles most of their AI coverage. I wouldn’t take his use of AI as a sign of what the rest of the staff is doing.

Benj Edwards, the author responsible, has posted his side.

Good news (from December):

“Absolutely,” [Bryan] Fuller told The Mary Sue recently about wanting to revisit Pushing Daisies. “We have a season three pitch, and the entire cast wants to come back, and we’re hoping we get to return to them. We just have to find somebody who wants to make it.”

Ars Technica has published a retraction

edit: Benj Edwards, the author responsible, has posted his side. tl;dr: He was sick and he messed up, and he asked for the article to be pulled because he was too sick to fix it right away.

Benj and Kyle were the authors of the article; Dan’s name wasn’t on it.

Nominees for the job require Senate approval, so technically they could try to make Trump put up someone good. Bondi was nominated when it turned out the Senate wasn’t likely to approve Trump’s first pick, Matt Gaetz.

I expect that not only will the current FCC decline to do anything about this, the complaint may have given Trump a new business idea.

However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.

Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an “Install on Windows” link with text below it “Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only).”

The git repo has a server installation guide.

$24.95/yr seems high. Are you looking at a specialty TLD? I paid around 10 USD/yr for a .com with Cloudflare, and 12 CAD/yr for a .ca with Canspace.

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

Trump has invited the leaders of 60 nations to join the Board of Peace with the stipulation that each contribute $1 billion dollars.

It’s not “Join the Board of Peace or get tariffs”, it’s “Give me a billion dollars or get tariffs”

Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize need to be submitted by January 31, and peace-related accomplishments after that probably aren’t factored into the decision-making process. So most of what Trump has done since he got back in office didn’t even count for last year’s award, and his new threats will count for this year’s. If he understood how the award actually worked he might realize how badly he’s messed up.

If the Supreme Court is going to rule against him in the tariff case, they may want to delay a little longer to update the ruling to cover this bullshit too.

Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents," Sweeney wrote in a first tweet responding to MacRumors’ report of US politicians requesting that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores.

Politicians want the offending apps removed from the app stores, and Sweeney thinks app store business is his business. He really ought to worry more about improving his own store.
