There is a lot of truth to this. Find "design partners" early in the process and build the MVP for them. After several iterations of making requests and providing feedback that you action on, they're a lot more willing

After 30 years, I don't think spam is going to get solved with email.

No idea but I suspect the "unified" on chip memory is very very quick. Some friends and I were BSing about the "pro" level parts, it you can graft 2 or 4 M1s together, use off chip RAM and then treat that onboard 16GB l

It's more than morale, it's just being a good human. If a promotion is coming down to how someone got thanked by a peer, if that's the differentiator like some of these poster are suggesting, then it's probably not a g

I'll get myself some down voting here... I kind of like asking questions about data structures and algorithms. I don't see them as simple black and white questions though. I see several values: 1) If you're a "comp

I think this program is generally well intentioned. I directly know organizations that benefited from it and it absolutely helped cushion the blow of initial lock-down. I also think that any time the US federal government is offering out

A while back I helped a startup that was doing managed video services, specifically internal surveillance. A very logical "service" for them was to have actual humans review and verify various incidents and so they staffed up a

They did. AMD had a very strong position against the Pentium IV era offerings from Intel. They took it on the chin for a couple years and then the came out with Core2 and pretty solidly handled AMD for a while. AMD doesn't look nearl

I was consolidating a lot of backup media over the winter break a few months back and I actually saw some "XF86Config.good" files that I saved from the early 1990s... It's actually quite amazing how far we've come.

He's cashed in on this theft to the tune of "$50m-$100m" what would it take to constitute mallace? Sure, he's not building war weapons or anything like that, but he stole the IP and he made an F * ton of money from it,

I tend to agree, I think if IBM were to release some core designs to go with it then they could potentially spur something interesting. I really see it two ways, the fact that Talos has real hardware that isn't priced up in the stra

I don't know about the Conti belt but the Gates has been rock solid since they introduced the center track guide. The first wave did have some problems unless the pullies had guides, they could slide off. For what it is, I love it,

I've had a Spot ACME with belt for about 6 years. I've used in on my daily lunch ride 4+ days a week. I was worried about all that stuff, I love the bike and was worried about nothing. Belt damage? They put these belts on moto

People seem to interpret it a few different ways. The idea of "checking out of society" really appeals to some and he's heroic for doing it. Fight Club has a similar, almost cultish, following.

Compiling pypy is memory intensive, I don't believe it can be done in 2GB which is where most of the really affordable ARM devices seem to cap out.

Their MAUs and DAUs exclude insta and whatsapp. Bottom of page 4 of their 10Q. I wonder if there is sort of the uncool factor going on. People might "use" FB but it's not cool to post very often or admit to it. 1.56B DAUs

Anyone remember the 3d printed gun stuff from a few years back? I think this isn't very different from it. You can take these raw pieces and explain how they are simple and good and draw these simple ethical conclusions from them,

That's not a fallacy he fell victim to, that was campaigning and electioneering. It was hot on the tail of a big news expose about $600+ toilet seats and $40 bolts that the pentagon was buying. Plus America was starting to accelera

If we were to realize Breakthrough Starshot, then it'd be right around the cusp of how long I'd think we could maintain institutional interest in it. 60 years to get there, 12 years to get the signals back, so 76 years. If you

I was just going to say that "Newspeak" in 1984 basically seems like exactly what is going on with "fake news." On the surface, it just seems absurd and fascinating in a certain way that we can have video footage of the
