I call BS. The Snowden files completely rewrote the rules of security inside Google and everywhere and led to zero-trust. These companies are now protected against this unlawful hacking of the government on their local companies and thus also better protected from governments around the world. Ironically, the leaks made the US more secure.

Cloudflare should just block Italy altogether.

Add Spain with LaLiga on top too. Inb4 "the CF CEO it's a right winger", so it's the Soccer -LaLiga- CEO.

onnx on the web has the most models available and can use webgpu which is available everywhere.

Huggingface’s transformers.js uses it. And I use that for https://workglow.dev (also tensorflow mediapipe though that is using wasm).

I don’t think webnn has gone anywhere and is too restrictive.


Since ONNX is just a model data format, you can actually parse and run ONNX files in jax-js as well. Here’s an example of running DETR ResNet-50 from Xenova’s transformers.js checkpoint in jax-js

https://jax-js.com/detr-resnet-50

I don’t think I intend to support everything in ONNX right now, especially quant/dequant, but eventually it would be interesting to see if we can help accelerate transformers.js with a jax-js backend + goodies like kernel fusion

jax-js is more trying to explore being an ML research library, rather than ONNX which is a runtime for exported models



Verge motorcycle said they made it longer on purpose... I dunno why. Their larger battery size charges faster. They may have done some stuff to save money on the smaller 10min charging version, and maybe not as much money saving on the larger battery that charges faster.

I like the "panoramic vision" screen across the base of the windshield on the BMW iX3. But wish they dropped the main screen. I only want the minimal one on the windshield, and a heads-up on the windshield. Big screens in cars are like CRT tube televisions. give me the future!

I have a car without a screen at all (which is illegal to sell as a new car today), so there is no phone home and telling the insurance industry how fast I drive. Really though, it would show how little I drive.

This battery and the 5min charging for it, I thought was for the motorcycle is it going in first.


He said GPU servers

The point is that we did have CPU servers with TBs of RAM. These machines are still pretty much relevant.

He didn't say VRAM. GPU servers are just servers with GPUs.

who cares how much cpu ram a gpu server has? But yeah, if that is what he meant, then that is silly.

Although... may be impossible to buy 2TB of RAM later in 2026! ;)


Russia promised not to invade if Ukraine gave up the nukes.

To be the devil's advocate, I don't think Russia foresaw a situation that had Ukraine looking to join NATO right after NATO had been used offensively for the first time ever to put its thumb on the scale of a civil war that didn't involve NATO countries.

If Putin didn't want NATO getting involved if he started a war there's one special trick he could have played! He could have not started a war ...

The only reason Ukraine joining NATO is a problem is if Putin/Russia (or someone else) wants to attack them.

I know there's a real risk of peaceful trade, mutual alliance, humanity, and democracy from breaking out in such circumstances but somehow I think the risk might be worth it for the billions of us who aren't completely fucked up megalomaniacs.


> The only reason Ukraine joining NATO is a problem is if Putin/Russia (or someone else) wants to attack them.

I mean, that's objectively not true since Libya, who attacked no one, but had a NATO bombing campaign to assist their civil war.

NATO is no longer a purely defensive pact.


Who joined NATO that you're blaming the Libya military interventions on?

If your inference is true then Ukraine's membership would be entirely orthogonal to any intervention NATO took to prevent Putin from committing genocide against his own people.

If NATO would come to Ukraine's aid anyway, then again their membership doesn't matter.

All NATO membership adds is a promise of defence.


s/devil/putin/

Sure, but I think these discussions are more enlightening when we model superpowers as rational actors within their ideological system rather than just whatever propaganda is locally convenient.

> when we model superpowers as rational actors within their ideological system

But they are not. We can thus look at the people who make decisions, but not at the countries themselves. So, it’s most likely not about joining NATO, but about European integration and economic growth.


They absolutely are.

Not much of a change, TBF.

No no no, some random American diplomat told a random Soviet diplomat during the East Germany negotiations that NATO wouldn't extend east at all.

No, it wasn't put on paper anywhere.

No, it wasn't mentioned (much) when the countries of eastern Europe all chomped at the bit to join NATO in the 90s.

No, it completely makes the Budapest Memorandum bunk.

No, the people of Ukraine absolutely do not have the agency to want to pivot towards the EU and become wealthy and stable like the former Warsaw Pact countries did. It must have been the CIA, so Budapest is bunk again!

(and other lies the war apologists tell themselves)


Like the founders telling employees to lie about compliance cuz everyone does it.

There is a line between fake it till you make it and fraud.
