Hello and welcome :) I did the same thing--lurk for ages but never sign up. I finally did--nearly two years ago, wow how time flies!--and have been having fun ever since.

I swear, every time I checkout who liked a post and I see your name, it makes me think instantly "3 others..."

ARGH!

Anyhow, welcome onboard!

Set sail into a joyful ride. This board is full of crazy heads and weirdos, so look out :shiftyninja:

No, but seriously, we're (almost) all friendly and welcome you and the time you'll spend with us.

If you have any questions, you can PM me if you want! (Y)

Haha, I get that feeling, but it's good. First thing I do in the morning is check out my RSS feeds, Neowin first :) Coffee's well and truly being devoured by then, too :p

Thanks! I seem to do that with quite a few sites, but neowin has a really good reader-base & I like how the news is coming in fast & covers a lot of areas.

Cheers!

I saw that, looks pretty crazy. Austria was getting hit pretty hard the other day, too. Finland is really weird just now. Very little snow over xmas & new year & only in the last few days has it been coming down heavily. Last summer was amazingly hot here.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
