God forbid Sweepie's wife should ever question him. He would put her in a green box.

Tenuous Ramping

The Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative announced that in order to support non-profit medical research they are building "computing infrastructure" - that is, purchasing over a 1000 state of the art GPUs.

And then you threw your toys out of the pram.

OK. So I've gone a bit rabid. One last one before I go to bed.

Having dismissed the rest of what comes across as unsubstantiated ramping...

"Dismiss these contracts at your peril."

You may have noticed that I have a soft spot for Wyld despite Mr Williamson sweety shop messaging. I can almost more than see it happening.

Your big problem would be is Tern going to still be around when it does and if so how much of Wyld is left in their tank?

Oh and whilst I am on a downer,

"We put Drug-GPT™ Q&A head-to-head with ChatGPT™ in real-world scenarios. The results were clear: Drug-GPT™’s specialization took effectiveness to a new level."

It should surprise no-one that if you supply your LLM, keep up oldies, with 'curated inputs' it arrives at different answers.

Your big question should be about the nature of the 'curated inputs' and the methodology used to validate both those and the resulting outputs along with the possibility of any bias associated with the analysis.

After all most companies dealing with hard core medicine publish peer reviewed papers in medical journals which are subject to further scrutiny...

In this case from an Historian,

I would be inclined to suggest it is not at all clear whether the tech you ascribe to Talking Medicines, also available to others, is worth anything.

Haven't seen Tully for a while here. Perhaps Mr Waiting should ban him. Ooops not in Mr Waiting's power. Tully is a Blue Boi.

Still, whilst I cannot comment on the status of their colon they do appear to be quite happy to have a Facebook account and have watched the video for us and making the following comment,

"At 1:08:29 into the Presentation, Meta show an example of their Quest 3 game technology (baseball) where the ball is heading towards a fielder and about to be caught - the tag is "with Tru Touch Haptics

Could not find any other examples of haptics or reference - however I did not watch the entire program."

Being me I would suggest that a baseball is quite a heavy object and may be travelling at some speed. Dealing with that sensation using haptics on a local install would not be hard so I would be inclined to suggest that,

assuming it does what it says on the tin, I have little reason to doubt it does, it might be at least two if not six orders of magnitude beyond what Zuck is touting or indeed his customers would want to cough the cash for.

Now I am not discounting the possibility that FVR might almost have some peripheral input but in Zuck terms it strikes me that they are just being mentioned for the sake of PR whizz.

Thanks for the thanks and thanks, given others have tried to disguise it, for dialling up the important paragraph.

"He says the 2015 public messaging should have been clearer - vapes are only for adults addicted to cigarettes."

Your parallel might be,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette

and vapes would be closer to or beyond that mark.

Now before the Harpies descend part of that prior resulted in this,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette#Sales_laws

I think Chill, and others, are going to have a hard PR battle on their hands.

Yeah.... But. If you wanted to trust Mr Zuck with your operations you would have to be some sort of stupid.

Imagine having a colostomy and then for the rest of your life being followed around the Intertubes by adverts for bags and wet wipes.

Unless Mr Zuck is changing his tune...

As previously mentioned FIDO is open source. Here we have FIDO2

https://fidoalliance.org/fido2/

Here is someone using it,

Note that fosstodon advertises itself as being,

"Fosstodon is a Mastodon instance that is open to anyone who is interested in technology; particularly Free & Open Source Software."

https://fosstodon.org/@bitwarden/111137953499522029

There you go Folks. Device Authority is now using stuff that everyone else gets to use because FIDO is FOSS.

Again creds to DA for implementing it but given everyone else can it's no big deal. Over to you Darron.

I noted a few posts back that Wyld, in particular Williamson, was in the habit of describing themselves as a Virtual Satellite operator but that seemed to have changed in this video from two days ago,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHcUc-cMmEE

https://youtu.be/WHcUc-cMmEE?t=39

https://youtu.be/WHcUc-cMmEE?t=215

The above was published two days ago.

For contrast this was published on the 18th this month, 9 days ago,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7_aKfHdBVI

https://youtu.be/r7_aKfHdBVI?t=192

"As a Virtual Satellite Network Operator we don't own our own satellites...."

He seems to be at pains to point this out.

Compare with,

https://youtu.be/WHcUc-cMmEE?t=215

Interviewer "You provide the satellite?"

Williamson "Yes."

Not really.

Assuming you are quoting someone rather than making it up yourself this likely harks back to the old "Use us or do Nothing" chestnut which, as any fule kno, is based on legacy devices that will be prevalent in the industries you mention and a contracting market.

In fact it might be interesting to consider the Wyld effect in particular on the Energy sector or indeed any remote application. If such companies are going to start installing Wyld product then it is likely that they will take the opportunity to upgrade their sensors to something that no longer needs to rely on Device Authorities old tech.

Just in case you miss it that should be an opportunity for you to bounce up and down over the apparent collaboration between Wyld and Device Authority. That might make a few new pennies for DA.

Since no-one has bothered with a link...

"At some point DA is going to be proven to be worth a fortune, have been banned from ADVFN Tern thread so will post here more often."

Still Waiting does like to think of himself as being a bit of an EdgeLord without knowing what the word means.

So. Since you have quoted Mr Antill's fluff let's put it in context.

Device Authority

"Having FIDO Device Onboard integrated in our leading IAM solution, KeyScaler allows our customers to benefit from complete trust in their Intel specific IoT devices and data throughout their entire lifecycle," said Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority. "FIDO's open sourced approach can be used by anyone and we do it as well."

Long term sufferers will remember FIDO and the efforts by the rampers to suggest that since Device Authority was involved they now owned all the FIDO. This idea was by and large furthered by such people based on IP owned by Device Authority who could simply not be told that FIDO is an open source standard that does not permit the integration of proprietary technologies unless the rights were also open sourced.

Granted Device Authority was involved in setting up the resulting standards at some level but at best all they can say is that they are capable of properly implementing it. There is no barrier to anyone else successfully doing the same.

Futhermore,

https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/110/materials/slides-110-iotops-fido-device-onboard-00

FIDO is Intel Driven. They and their partners might consider it to be best practice and it may well be however consider that in the above the mentioned players will all make use of or interface their product with Intel product. As a result they will naturally be biased towards such a standard.

The 'news' is in effect fluff.

https://xkcd.com/927/

Where's the cold greasy flannel?

In fact I am going to go full on ramp mode and stupidly suggest that they are waiting for Wyld to drop chunks and will do so at the same time. Why waste an RNS or be forced to play catch up on news elsewhere when you can coordinate and roll it into one.

See that stuff on my face? That's egg that is.

Nope. Very much doubt minute watching the trades is going to have any more meaning than it ever had before. Just seems strange that the results of the vote were known shortly after 09:00 and they haven't been released yet. I thought that normally Tern and most companies were quite quick about such things. Perhaps they had prepared to blow the cash prior to the vote in the expectation of it going their way and they are just finalising the details to include in a later RNS.

I do like making up rubbish.

Anyone got a Reuters link to Mars doubling the production on Snickers?

Some coordination going on?

Do beg pardon.

Thanks for the history lesson.
