QuoteAn unnamed "informed" source told Ars Technica that there's a greater than 50 percent probability that the stranded astronauts will end up leaving the International Space Station on a SpaceX Dragon capsule, with another unnamed person telling the news outlet that the scenario is highly likely.
NASA officials are more cagey about what's happening on the record, a marked contrast from previous weeks when they expressed confidence in the Starliner's ability to safely bring back the astronauts
Starliner is a lemon and astronauts may not be flying home on it

Speaking of legal exposure for muskrat:
QuoteThe lawsuit claims the driver of the Model 3 was "tired" and "not in a condition to drive as an ordinarily prudent driver."The complaint said the Autopilot sensors such as cameras "should have identified the hazard posed by Decedent’s motorcycle in its presence.""A reasonably prudent driver, or adequate auto braking system, would have, and could have slowed or stopped without colliding with the motorcycle," the complaint said.Tesla was not immediately available for comment.The lawsuit adds to growing scrutiny of Tesla's driver assistant systems Autopilot and Full Self-Driving.A Tesla Model S car was in "Full Self-Driving" mode when it hit and killed a 28-year-old motorcyclist in the Seattle area in April this year, police said this week. -

I'm not sold on anything on ARM just yet over the X86 instruction set, but for just fucking around and using web apps it's great. For more productivity focused workloads I think it's going to get trounced by the latest Gen X86 stuff from both AMD and Intel.
I disagree, ARM is so customizable that if customized to the right spec frequently beats x86 in raw throughput and processing capacity - not to mention the lower power consumption. That sort of thing probably is going to live more in the datacenter than in end-user devices, but every hyperscaler is releasing in-house designed ARM processors that are often a performance uplift (if your code is ARM compatible).
And in terms of client computing I think it's just a matter of time until Qualcomm and Apple build something that's good enough but cheaper than x86 that'll eat away at their base of sales. No doubt that HEDT will still be x86, but that's not really what ARM is meant for anyways

Those poor kids. Their parents yanked them back to a shit hole country where they don’t speak the language, don’t own a tracksuit, and will get beat up by America hating classmates when they mention that they miss America.
I think the kids were raised thinking they were Argentinian, not American, considering that putin greeted them in Spanish.
But yeah wow I can't imagine how those kids have got to be feeling right now. It's like something out of a movie

Harris' background poses quite the conundrum for the GQP. On the one hand, she's black, so full demonization. On the other, Indian/Asian and what they would probably call a model minority despite the brownness.
I had wondered how they were going to handle this and if it could possibly work in their favor. Should have known the answer was badly.
Seeing the GOP completely short circuiting on the idea of someone with more than one ethnic background or identity was an incredible mass self-report

Because I come on here mentioning the hostage exchange when there is no discussion on the topic in other obvious and clearly set apart topics on this forum and then get attacked for it for no apparent reason other then being new?
Not sure if serious....

21 hours ago, KYHorn said:26 prisoners (including 2 Russian minors) were released between 6 countries, with 10 returning to Russia, 4 returning to the US.
The Russian FSB prisoner in Germany was released, as was Vladimir Kara-Murza

21 hours ago, RPM said:In return, Russia will receive eight of its nationals, including three that were being held in U.S. prisons: Vadim Konoshchenok, Vladislav Klyushin and Roman Seleznyov.
Two Russians held in Slovenia, one in Poland and another in Norway are also headed home. All have known or suspected ties to Russian intelligence, according to U.S. officials.
Key among the prisoners returned to Russia, according to American officials familiar with the talks, was Vadim Krasikov, a convicted murderer who was sentenced to life in prison by a German court in 2021 for killing a Georgian asylee who had fought against Russians in Chechnya. German judges said the killing had been ordered by Russian federal authorities and called it "state terrorism."

So I'm supposed to just rollover and take it in the ass?
This is the most impactful thread ever on Surly, and is about a real war and conflict that's raging, that has ties to sensitive US domestic political issues, and has somehow remained a high quality thread thanks to all the self-policing.
You should probably not come into the thread being a goofball like that as a new user with a low post count, especially when that's the calling card of our new user creation page frequent flier trolls

Lulz I guess they decided to cut into their billion dollar profit margin some instead of jacking up prices again after all the backlash. What a novel idea, companies using their existing operating margin to cover unexpected expenses instead of pushing onto their monopolized market!

I think Intel has stepped on a bigger pile than they realize with the 13th and 14th Gen issues. They're burning their HEDT users and denying RMA and warranty requests on items that Intel acknowledged were manufacturer damaged parts
The above post is one anecdote, but I know a couple people who have had to completely rebuild their intel 13th gen machine and moved to AMD after constant crashes while using stock mobo profiles.

I have a meteor lake laptop and after the first few months of shitty bios firmware when they got it dialed in it's incredible. I can't imagine how fucking badass lunar lake with up to 32GB of LPDDR5X-8533 ON PACKAGE is going to be.
That's bananas. 68.26GB/s bandwidth available to any core at incredibly low latency.
I think other API improvements like direct storage access over PCIe are gonna be a bigger deal for workload scaling than the CPU/sysmem interlink. Most enterprise and consumer software are plagued with single threaded bottle necks that more often than not make data transfer take as much time or longer than the compute work itself

Reading the site while not logged in on my phone( safari) sucks ass. I'll scroll down reading a thread and it reloads almost every time, halfway while reading a post, as if I tapped the screen again. It's aggravating, and I WANT to read the material.
and the ads make the reading area relatively tiny.
I'm not bitching at all- just telling you what happens as a lurker. You gotta REALLY want to read the shit to stick around, and even then it's like, "Fuck it. It can wait till I get home." That being said, there IS a solution available; but a noob might not realize that.
Why not sign in on mobile web on your phone? It would get rid of those ads

Their client computing group is very profitable.
Data center is in freefall.
AMD has been eating into their client computing sales, Intel no longer is the go to option in the corporate laptop and workstation segment and AMD has them beat at a lower price and power consumption for most consumer uses.
On the other hand, this goober just yolo'd a 700k inheritance onto INTC this morning so I'm sure it'll all work out lol

Their recent issues with 13th and 14th gen chips causing permanent damage to themselves ain't gonna help much either. Their datacenter sales have been getting eaten alive by ARM, it's gonna take more than a leadership change to correct their ship

You don’t believe at decade of stagnant surcharges is long enough? I’m sure infrastructure constructions costs haven’t risen since ‘14.
They've already been raising rates to pay for other shit like generators they can't use, and have been finding many other avenues to increase the rates to Houston.
So call me crazy, but that CEO's quote and your framing isn't entirely honest about a "decade of stagnant surcharges"
