Nice to see the XR jam back for another round. Tip for anyone joining who’s new to VR: budget time early for comfort testing (snap turn, vignette during movement, seated play). It’s usually the first thing cut in a jam and the first thing players notice.
@neil also I honestly think that the various national professional licensing regulators need to be cracking down on this. Anthropic and OpenAI are practicing law (and medicine, and from some overheard conversations this weekend civil engineering) without a license and it’s reasonable to aggressively stomp that out, especially because the answers are Markov-chain streams of consciousness blather and not actual proper advice.

I suspect that that might be more of a problem in the USA than it is here - here, anyone can give "legal advice", and it doesn't require a licence.
Calling oneself a "solicitor" is problematic, as is doing certain, specific tasks, but giving legal advice, and drafting and reviewing contracts, doesn't fall within that list.

I know there's no such thing as a finished website, but the conversion from the old WordPress/PHP7.x website to a nice static website for #RC2014 is pretty close to being finished.
I'm really happy how this has turned out, despite being rushed through. I think everything works at least as well as before, and even all the old links seem to work too.

The Communist power installed itself by military force, not only when the Bolsheviks occupied a place after a battle to drive out the Petliurists, but also in places where the region was already free and the peasants were on their own.

#PHP2Shell security flaws now sucessfully exploited in the wild
sibling led us into the tavern to a table at the back with a view of the entire place. "ah, the Strider spot." they knew exactly what i meant.

When Apple announced there was going to be a folding-screen iPhone, I figured there were two possible explanations. The first was that they had figured out how to solve an industrial design problem with folding-screen phones that nobody else had been able to solve. The other was that the days when Apple would let a market niche slide because they couldn't come up with a product to fill it that met their standards were over.
So, yeah

@jalefkowit when they launch their touchscreen MacBooks the conversion to “generic consumer tech company” will be complete.
(Disclaimer. I work at Red Hat, which is owned by IBM. But my opinions here are my own)
On-Prem "AI" works and is Good Enough ™ so more and more companies are running Open Weight LLM inference on their own bare metal. Says IBM CEO Arvind Krishna. I am not surprised. If you can save 90% of the costs and, more importantly, keep your data and prompts local, err, sovereign, as it is called now —it not only makes business sense, it also keeps the lawyers happy.
And also to be very clear: This is about companies, not the basement GPUs you run at home. These systems are not cheap, but here is an interesting development I hear more and more about in the various rumour mills. Racks and racks of NVIDIA systems are sitting in storage as data centres can't be spun up fast enough and a market of selling that surplus to companies that have empty racks in their own datacenter is real. And growing. But don't talk about it or else ;)
New: we got leaked audio of Flock's CEO speaking at a police conference. He said backlash to Flock isn't real (said it's bots and paid protesters; no evidence); his wife told him to never apologize; and he may never do media interviews again.

Yep a lot of us built stuff like this before and will probably do it again.
