Great, electrical and mechanical engineers are already underpaid, under appreciated and overworked. I’ve always found it amusing that lawyers and accountants flash their license around with pride, put it in their email signatures, etc. and

1.35x speed up in single core versus M3 Max. Insane. Everyone else has failed to bump single core performance in years. Where are these single core gains coming from?

Waiting for the first pro line phone with both the Apple modem and Apple wifi/BT stack in it. Battery life is always a struggle when the phone gets older.

If all of the AI providers just went bankrupt it would be a fairly solid 1 step back, 2 steps forward for humanity. We weren’t ready for it. And degrading world conditions and crazy leadership make it scary to be a civilian in a world with

I’ll admit when it first came out I hated the Gemini summary. It hallucinated a lot. Back then it was useless. But now I don’t mind it: it’s lightning fast (for an LLM capable of mid level reasoning), but more importantly unlimited and free

Titles like this just reiterate that people don’t take systems engineers/ing seriously.

This is what’s gonna be in the brain of the robot that ends the world. The sheer speed of how fast this thing can “think” is insanity.

You can’t have a dock for the users tablet because, despite appearances, the system is actually safety rated, and rated to temperature Class H (125degC) as well. This is in contrast to consumer electronics which are not hard realtime, also

I’m convinced all these blog posts on AI productivity are some kind of high level propaganda trying to create a Folie à deux that AI is much better than it is. The worst part is that it’s so convincing: not only does everyone who can’t make

Yes, and I’m convinced AI companies either pay or brainwash these people to put out blog posts like this to spread the idea that it actually works. It doesn’t.

I’m not sure, the moment I opened the page there was something unusually satisfying about the buttons (that had bothered me about shadcn), so I guess there is some method to the madness.

Lexus CT200h is one of the best interiors ever designed. The design language was tactile: every single button or control had a different action or feel. https://cdn-fastly.thetruthaboutcars.com/media/2022/07/2

Second this, just use it for files, it’s great for it. 10+ years uptime if you leave it alone.

No.. just.. no. This will be a thing for like 1, maybe 2 years, then people will realise it doesn’t make sense to spend $50K of time per annum to replace a $500/month subscription for a better product.

Your pricing page has a bug on it, the annual price is higher than the monthly price.

I have this weird thing with Ghidra where I can’t get it to disassemble .s37 or .hex flash files for PPC (e200z4). The bytes show OK and I’m pretty sure I’m selecting the right language. Any insight on things to try would be appreciated. ID

Plenty of GCP, AWS and Azure experiences in this thread, but any Cloudflare experiences?

If they want to sell a buttload more cars just make FSD free on all Tesla’s, done. The possibility of FSD is probably the only reason I paid $10K more for a M3 over a BYD Seal. But free FSD? Who can compete with that. Nobody. Also, turning

Thanks, didn’t know. Starting at $2k/month though.

The really annoying thing about Cloudflare is that Workers don’t belong to zones (i.e. editing any worker is an account level permission, either: Read only or Edit), and thus you can’t scope a particular user or API key access to a particul

The uni should just donate to the Linux maintainers for damages - however much time was wasted - and just move on its merry way. Money is money and buys time, no harm done, useful research conducted, and a whole lot of publicity gained.

I heard from a friend he paid around $12k AUD for the cheapest new ICE car, Holden brand, which I guess proves the west can compete if they try? Edit: Holden Spark.

I was thinking the other day that there should be wearable bangles for blind people with ultrasonic sensors or something that encode a 360 degree view of the world into vibrations. If each bangle had 40 or so pixels, you’d get 80 pixels wit

Solid state batteries already exist, but they’re unreliable. A few bus companies have been messing around with them over the last few years, even putting them on public roads. One had a huge recall when they started delaminating after a yea

This is awesome and exactly what it needs, but good luck creating a language that’s “signal driven” enough to encode it and then send all the possible states to the client. If you were able to make it, it would be kind of a Hail Mary moment

The latency is a little intense from Australia … but surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be. It was playable. I wonder if you can use speculative execution to play the game a few frames ahead and then the client picks what to disp

Do you think it’s possible that the periodic table is too simple of an abstraction and that quarkish elements exist which cannot be aligned on the table but perhaps are never seen in nature or extremely rare?

So if we understand the internal differences between protons and neutrons, what’s the practical application? Turning neutrons into protons with low energies - alchemy?
