As one of the leading Internet infrastructure companies, Cloudflare finds itself at the center of various copyright disputes.
The American company says it powers nearly 20% of the web. This includes several Fortune 500 companies, but also many pirate sites and services.
For years, rightsholders have urged Cloudflare to do something about these pirate sites. However, the company typically doesn’t take action against customers that use its ‘pass-through’ CDN services. Instead, it simply forwards takedown notices to their respective hosting services.
According to some rightsholders forwarding is not enough. To compel Cloudflare to take action against pirate sites, they requested formal blocking orders in...

Quand Nvidia a racheté 3dfx, la Voodoo est morte façon Marion Cotillard dans Batman, et tout le monde était "mui tristé"... Mais vous allez pouvoir sécher vos larmes de "crocrodiles" car un dev vient de la ressusciter... dans un FPGA (c'est une puce reprogrammable).
SpinalVoodoo, c'est 430 registres de configuration, un pipeline graphique complet et des jeux à l'ancienne qui tournent OKLM du genre Quake ou Screamer 2.

An MRI scan is never a pleasant occasion – even if you aren’t worried about the outcome, lying still in a confined, noisy space for long periods of time is at best an irksome experience. For hearing protection and to ameliorate boredom or claustrophobia, the patient wears headphones. Since magnets and wires can’t be used inside an MRI machine, the headphones have to literally pipe the sound in through tubes, which gives them poor sound quality and reduces the amount of noise they can block. [SomethingAboutScience], however, thinks that photoacoustic speakers could improve on these, and built some to demonstrate. These speakers use the photoacoustic effect, which is mostly caused by surface heating when...

Pour le site de Sheffield “The Tribune”, cette fracture se conjugue aux problématiques propres à la cohabitation entre communautés immigrées.

The 3DFX Voodoo was not the first dedicated 3D graphics chipset by any means, but it became the favourite for gamers among the early mass-market GPUs. It would be found on a 3D-processing-only PCI card that sat on the feature connector of your SVGA card. The Voodoo took any game that supported its Glide API into the world of (for the time) smooth and beautiful 3D. They’re worth a bit now, but if you don’t fancy forking out for mid-’90s silicon in 2026, there’s another option. [Francisco Ayala Le Brun] has implemented the 3DFX Voodoo 1 in SpinalHDL for FPGAs.

First came the AI beauty pageant. Then the AI music contests.

The organizers said it is intended to "celebrate the creative talent 'behind' AI Influencers" and recognize their growing commercial and cultural clout. Contestants will compete for a total prize f …

On Friday, Reuters reported that Amazon is going to try to get into the smartphone game…again. The Fire Phone was perhaps Amazon’s biggest commercial misstep, and was only on the market for about a year before it was discontinued in the summer of 2015. But now industry sources are saying that a new phone code-named “Transformer” is in the works from the e-commerce giant.
At this point, there’s no word on how much the phone would cost or when it would hit the market. The only information Reuters was able to squeeze out of their contacts was that the device would feature AI heavily. Real shocker there — anyone with an Echo device in their kitchen could tell you that Amazon is desperate to get you...

Siri, can you tell me where I belong? | Image: DEEWEE Last week's recommendation, Sotomayor's Wabi Sabi, has a very particular vibe that you don't find in a lot of records. One of the few things it called to mind was 2022's Topical Dancer from Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul, which I ended up revisiting this week a lot.
The two records don't seem particularly alike on the surface. But they're both rough around the edges smash-ups of electronic and organic elements packaged for dancefloor abandon. The way the sounds and rhythms click together feels very much of the same ilk.
There are, of course, differences. Significant ones. Adigery and Pupul draw more heavily from rock and early electroni …

Odds are, you’ve taken pills before; it’s a statistical certainty that some of you reading this took several this morning. Whenever you do, you’re at the mercy of the manufacturer: you’re trusting that they’ve put in the specific active ingredients in the dosage listed on the package. Alas, given the world we live in, that doesn’t always happen. Double-checking actual concentrations requires expensive lab equipment like gas chromatography. It turns out checking for counterfeit pills is easier than you’d think, thanks to a technique called Disintegration Fingerprinting. The raw voltage signal from the sensor is stored as a “disintegration fingerprint” of particles detected per minute.

That’s some sloppy looking slop. | Image: Rex_Spy / Reddit Reviews of Crimson Desert have been mixed, but the bigger issue for the game has been the discovery of what appeared to be AI-generated assets in the final release. Now the developer has acknowledged that AI art was indeed used during the game's creation, but says that it was intended to be replaced before release. In a statement on X, the company said it was conducting a "comprehensive audit" to identify and replace any AI-generated content. The company apologized for both its inclusion in the final release and for not being more transparent about its use during development. "We should have clearly disclosed our use of AI," it said.

Thermal energy storage is pretty great, as phase-change energy storage is very consistent with its energy output over time, unlike chemical batteries. You also get your pick from a wide range of materials that you can either heat up or cool down to store energy. Here, the selection is mostly dependent on how you wish to use that energy at a later date. [Hyperspace Pirate] is mostly interested in cooling down a house, on account of living in Florida.
As can be seen in the top image, the basic setup is pretty straightforward. PV solar power charges a battery until it’s fully charged. Then an MCU triggers a relay on the AC inverter, which then starts the cooling compressor on the water reservoir. This proceeds...

Grok, how do you make chips? | Image: Laura Normand / The Verge Elon Musk announced plans to build a Terafab plant in Austin, Texas, that will be jointly run by Tesla and SpaceX. The goal is to eventually build chips at scale for robotics, artificial intelligence, and space-based data centers for Musk's various companies.
Musk has expressed concern, as have other executives, about the chip industry's ability to keep up with demand as the AI industry has boomed. But building a chip fabrication plant is complex, requires billions of dollars, many years, and a ton of specialized equipment. And, as Bloomberg points out, Musk "has no background in semiconductor production and a history of over-promising on g...

A few weeks ago, I migrated our e-book library to Booklore. Unfortunately, it seems that I backed the wrong horse: Booklore has since ceased to exist.
Unfortunately, toxicity isn't uncommon in open source projects, so I'm not going to add to it by talking much about the context behind Booklore being deleted.
However, as it's relevant to a decision that I made in this process, I will say that I was already a little concerned about the ongoing quality of Booklore, so it doesn't surprise me too much to hear that other people were being quite vociferous about the developer's use of AI coding tools (amongst other, IMO bigger, issues).
Whatever the rights or wrongs of it, Booklore's repo no longer exists, having...
