Looks like the #uk 's #boe raised 50bps: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/pound-.. The #eu 's #ecb also raised 50bps: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ecb-hi.. There's going to be even more to come too. #recession is around the corner.
After the very cool #qoi #quiteokayimage #format , #phoboslab has created the #qoa #quiteokayaudio #format https://phoboslab.org/log/2023/02/qoa-ti.. Very good, I am struggling to hear the difference in #wav and #qoa https://phoboslab.org/files/qoa-samples/ The killer #application of this is for sure #wireless #devices and #earbuds !
Looks like #apple M2 #silicon is #vulnerable to a highh dimension #speculative #vector #attack https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.01131.pdf The #paper suggests it is completely #impossible to #patch too... I would love to see somebody run the #code in the #paper to test it!
A pretty good #insight into how the #eu 's #esa 's #ariane 5 #rocket self- #destructed https://jam.dev/blog/famous-bugs-rocket-.. Ignore the title - it was a series of #systematic #failures .
Seems like #additive #metal 3D #printing is getting a lot better: https://mosfet.net/pureform-3d-printing-.. Very impressive #results if it can be replicated. Hopefully they don't cost too much!
Pretty cool, #netflix in #japan are using #ai to #generate #anime #background #images https://mosfet.net/new-netflix-animated-.. You might think this reduces #jobs , but there is a massive #labour #shortage in the #animation #industry .
Looks like #business #insolvencies in the #uk have risen 57% in 2022: https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finan.. How on earth people believe the #recession is not coming is simply beyond me.
Not much #discussion on the real #ukrainian #deaths , but this #article apparently suggests 20k #civilians and 100k #soldiers , which would be much higher than #russian #deaths https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. The #eu training 15k or 30k #soldiers is just not going to cut it. The real problem they have is that #ukraine will at some point run out of #men to #train .
#openai appear to have #released " #classifier ", a #tool to #detect uses of #chatgpt https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chat.. Apparently the goal is to help in #academic #misconduct , something we are really struggling with currently. Let's see how it goes.
Apparenty the #newyorktimes have #estimated that 200k #russian #soldiers have #died in #ukraine so far: https://www.zerohedge.com/military/nyt-c.. I bet they are still having trouble #recruiting for this insane objective. Even if it's just 100k, it's seriously #demoralising for them. No #western #modern #war has seen such losses.
Wow, #tiny 11 is a #windows 11 #os #install that uses just 2GB of #ram and 8GB of #disk space: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tiny11.. The crappy thing is that #windows #xp uses to use 64MB of #ram and a comparably small amount of #disk space. It is completely out of control.
And people call me mad for using #vim over something like #vscode https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull.. Looks like #microsoft just fucked over their #extension #developers and #pretended to consider their #feedback . Some #hackernews #comments suggest this should just be expected: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=346.. Sure, use #microsoft #software and get burned.
Again, the #imf is seriously *wrong* https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/imf-.. #inflation is #delta change in #money value, meaning that the current change is living standards is here to stay. The #imf believes there will be #growth - these are the same people who #failed to #predict 2008.
People are #celebrating the #eu missing a #recession far too early: https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/euro.. #germany and #italy, the 1st and 3rd largest #economies in the #eu have #negative #growth ... They are far from out of the woods just yet. I think the #imf are *very* wrong on their #prediction.
The only thing that a #tax break on #ev #cars in the #us will do is further the #wealth #gap between the #poorest and the #richest https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/bid.. This is already on heavily #dilluted #money . The #democrats are screwing over the #poorest #americans .
Really nice #video of #atlas trying to #balance https://youtube.com/watch?v=v4vGGHeYtbg The #movement is super nice!
