De éstos tengo que filtrar las "noticias" de la farándula, de aquéllos las de fútbol, de los de más allá las que refieren a "IA" o soja o usinas fotovoltaicas o Liga de las Naciones, tal persona es centrada y sensata pero perora a repetición sobre juegos y series. Harta.
(Y ni hablar de la cobertura cobarde de hechos "internacionales". Desde la Gran Guerra no hemos aprendido gran cosa, salvo a mentir con más disimulo.)

"...Vor den UN behauptet der russische Außenminister, westliche Politiker würden Angriffe auf Russland vorbereiten.
Lawrow war eigentlich pragmatisch. Es stellt sich die Frage, warum er nun so gaga ist! Ist seine Familie Geisel von Putin? Immerhin möglich, bei den ganzen Fensterunfällen in RuZZland! Oder ist er senil?

It isn't your imagination: Google Cloud is flooding the zone
Aside from Alphabet’s own forays into AI, they’re also selling pickaxes to most other AI prospectors.
It’s a story deSouza likes to tell in numbers. In a conversation with this editor, he notes several times that nine out of the top 10 AI labs use Google’s infrastructure. He also says that nearly all generative AI unicorns run on Google Cloud, that 60% of all GenAI startups worldwide have chosen Google as their cloud provider, and that the company has lined up $58 billion in new revenue commitments over the next two years, which represents more than double its current annual run rate.Asked what percentage of Google Cloud’s revenue comes from AI companies, he offers instead that “AI is resetting the cloud market, and Google Cloud is leading the way, especially with startups.”
The strategy extends beyond simple customer acquisition. Google offers AI startups $350,000 in cloud credits, access to its technical teams, and go-to-market support through its marketplace. Google Cloud also provides what deSouza describes as a “no compromise” AI stack — from chips to models to applications — with an “open ethos” that gives customers choice at every layer.
The approach reflects both opportunity and necessity. In a market where companies can go “from being a startup to being a multibillion-dollar company in a very short period of time,” as deSouza puts it, capturing future unicorns before they mature could prove more valuable than fighting over today’s giants.
“Companies love the fact that they can get access to our AI stack, they can get access to our teams to understand where our technologies are going,” deSouza says during our interview. “They also love that they’re getting access to enterprise-grade Google class infrastructure.”
Google’s infrastructure play got even more ambitious recently, with reporting revealing the company’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to expand its custom AI chip business. According to The Information, Google has struck deals to place its tensor processing units (TPUs) in other cloud providers’ data centers for the first time, including an agreement with London-based Fluidstack that includes up to $3.2 billion in financial backing for a New York facility.
Competing directly with AI companies while simultaneously providing them infrastructure requires … finesse. Google Cloud provides TPU chips to OpenAI and hosts Anthropic’s Claude model through its Vertex AI platform, even as its own Gemini models compete head-to-head with both. (Google Cloud’s parent company, Alphabet, also owns a 14% stake in Anthropic, per New York Times court documents obtained earlier this year, though when asked directly about Google’s financial relationship with Anthropic, deSouza calls the relationship a “multi-layered partnership,” then quickly redirects me to Google Cloud’s model marketplace, noting that customers can access various foundation models.)

Hello everyone.
I've been a BSD user for a long time, even back to the early 2000s when I ran FreeBSD instead of Linux on my Abit BP6.
That was the era I also using NetBSD and OpenBSD on a variety of hardware, some of which I still have.
E.g. a VaxStation, SUN IPX, PA-RISC HP 9000, etc.
In the last year or so I've had FreeBSD with sway on a laptop.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, by Gustave Doré (1870)
This painting feels very mystic, like a glimpse into a secret, magical world that exists just beyond our own. The moonlight filtering through the dark trees gives it a dreamlike and ethereal atmosphere.
The artist did a great job of creating a sense of dynamic energy. You can almost feel the swirl of the dance as the fairies circle the clearing, and the flutter of all the tiny wings in the air and on the ground.

A use case I did not plan for smolBSD, start it with 9p directory sharing in order to access a NetBSD raw disk image:
$ /startnb.sh -i images/base-amd64.img -k kernels/netbsd-SMOL -w /mnt/nfs
# vnconfig vnd0 /mnt/vm/nadd/disk0.img
# mount /dev/vnd0e /somewhere
happily crawl your old disk backup

Damn... Finally I am also affected by this stupid #YouTube automatic title #translation. Even if I open links on phone in NewPipe...
I saw some subtitles translated instead of original ones too. I guess I will see their stupid dubbing soon...
I don't have any accounts for 6 years and use Firefox cookie-autodelete on desktop.
