Source cited by a number of media articles is a substack called Popular Information. They say it can be found via the federal contract procurement system but I wasn’t able to find any results for ice that were actually warheads. I didn’t search exhaustively but I am not sure exactly what they’re referring to since armor is also under the category that includes ordinance. There’s a link in the article for searching the database, maybe someone can find it.

They should probably link to the guided missile contract somewhere directly in the article. Primary sources are key in this shit show.

Nvidia has a lot more to lose than $100bil if this all goes tits up

Only lasted less than a day before it was intentionally corrupted by 4chan and shut down for idolizing Hitler

Never been banned but I stopped commenting or even logging in on Reddit years ago, I always used r/all almost exclusively and they ruined that algorithm multiple times over. I could never really tell if I was talking to a bot or not when commenting either.

We need answers

Pretty sure it was a loose cable. They’re basically giant iPhones and I saw similar issues on those. I should also mention said counter had an antistatic mat on it to soften the blow.

I was an apple tech for a time. With iPads that were out of warranty (basically go buy a new one or GTFO) and exhibiting a certain display issue, I would take it in the back and slam the thing on a counter at a certain angle. Worked every time for that particular problem.

As of 2023 Mozilla had over 1.3 billion dollars in reserve (thanks Google!). This is not over yet, but it will be drained pretty quickly if they keep treating a nonprofit like a typical silicon valley tech company.

Mozilla is run by a nonprofit and just lost 80% of its revenue from the Google ad antitrust case. How is your using their browser making them any money? That’s literally the rub here. The whole promise of Firefox is that they don’t data mine your activities like chromium browsers do and data mining and ads would be the way to make revenue anywhere near on par with what was lost. The CEO gets paid the same either way out of the billion or so that Mozilla has in financial reserve. Firefox keeps losing user base yet the CEO pay keeps going up.

That’s very optimistic. Mozilla is not in good shape and the c suite may simply ride their paychecks from the endowment off into the sunset.

Yeah you’re correct the deal was cut off late last year so it was not renewed for 2025 but it was on the radar for a couple years. It’s why the sudden sketchy rush for other sources of income so they can keep going as normal. I did make an edit to my post and changed ‘comes’ to ‘has come’.

It’s been set up to fail. Over 80% of their revenue was from that deal and Google could likely dictate whatever they wanted as part of it. That income is the only thing that even allowed for such an insane pay package for their c-suite in the first place, and so the current form of Mozilla is a direct result of all that cash. It’s supposed to be a nonprofit and now they’re basically in withdrawal because they cannot afford their insane"normal tech company leadership" salaries.

Idk how Mozilla survives this without another sugar daddy, the leadership pay looks like the biggest liability killing the company and they have to willingly give it up before the company goes bankrupt and/or becomes another ad machine.

I would really love for them to drop pocket and all their other stupid shit and just make a browser like they used to. Even just that is a huge undertaking these days though, and that is because of (again) Google’s ability to basically dictate web standards. They strung Mozilla along as a pet “look we’re not a monopoly” competitor while continuously raising the bar to entry for any competition. I think the antitrust case should have gone after web standards to allow for competition rather than basically cutting off the only real competitor, but that would have been harder to do and the actual case was based specifically on Google’s search and ad monopoly rather than the chromium browser monopoly.

Most of their income has come directly from Google, the incumbent browser monopoly. I’m full tin foil hat on this one, Google is pulling the strings here.

Idk the CEOs $6mil salary sounds more like malice to me

I think the baked-in political biases highlight how not “open source” the weights really are without knowledge of the training data. You can bias these systems however you want to and it’s nontrivial or impossible to remove it once it’s there.

This is why Nvidia stock has been hit so hard. CUDA is their moat

I can’t find any remotely authoritative sources saying this. Who is this YouTuber?

Thanks, I wish more people did their own tests and published them like this since marketing for electronics is loose at best

The entirety of “open” ai is complete bullshit. They’re no longer even pretending to be nonprofit at all and there is nothing “open” about them since like 2018.

Many insurance companies won’t even insure homes in much of Florida.

Lol Lemmy has the funniest ai haters they drown out any real criticism with stupid strawman nonsense
