That incentive works both ways. For instance employee sneaking in a security hole and then selling it to a mate so they can collect the bounty.

Should be given $5-10million under NDA. No headlines.

Indeed, it's like "here peasant, have this fortune of $5,000, may it change your life". Pathetic.

Isn't that the same with e.g. human brain? Computer program can compute billions of equations, whilst human will struggle with just one.

Here they offer no finance for over £5k. Crap.

I bought a laptop for a relative and didn't realise it doesn't have touchscreen. They complained for a day and I often saw them try to touch the screen and then being disappointed it doesn't work. Week later they never mentioned it again and use the laptop just fine.

When I was buying them a second one and asked about touchscreen, they said they don't care anymore for it, so second laptop also was without touchscreen.

It's not justifying an upgrade. Shame there are no finance options for M5 Max 128GB.

What is this for? I cannot understand these models. They are very much polluting the internet with nonsense and use capacity that people and businesses need for actual work.

If these are the cause of why I have to pay 2-4x I used to for a computer, then Google should go fuck themselves.

Because these are normal instructions.

If you do multiplication using mul instead of loop and add, is it acceleration too?

Why is it still called SIMD-accelerated, if these are now just normal instructions. You just have to take a little bit more effort into restructuring your algorithms to make use of them.

Well, if we didn't have corrupt regulators, Google would have been fined out of existence ages ago.

That said it will be interesting way of exploitation. If you want to find people who have certain email content, you can serve them ads manipulating them into taking an action. Like buying a scam product / malware.

They could implement Grapple Store and then clone most popular apps.
