Not sure how Celsius is worse? Its unit is the same of Kelvin, just shifted by 273. 0C is freezing, 100C is boiling. Some people say Fahrenheit is more representative of how people feel, but that is very subjective and biased towards the We

How is projector superior? More often than not, with the same amount of money spent, projector produces worse image quality, consumes more power, and don't last as long.

What is intrinsic difficulty? A product at scale has many intrinsic dimensions, not just technical. Saying scaling is not an intrinsic difficulty is pretty weird given a highly scalable product usually looks nothing like their 1-user counte

Saying "proving 1+1=2" is pretty misleading though. The book deals with all the foundational things needed to set up a mathematical universe where 1+1=2 actually has meaning and is consistent. That setup took 400 pages.

It's like my RPG character putting every points to one single trait. I'll one shot everything alive but will instantly die if accidentally drink water with 6.9 pH.

You'll also need to compare the amount of compute used now and then, which seems exponential to me.

That only means you won't be denied if you express immigration intent during interview. Besides that it's nothing special. There is no special path to GC/naturalization for H1Bs.

The only way this makes sense is he entered the country without inspection or something is very very wrong with his backgrounds. I personally know many people who overstayed their B1/F1 visas and then do AOS to green card via marriage,

I used to work in a small independent team of 30 people within a large corp, half of which was dev. We used to run our own gitlab on-prem, our CI/CD was also on-prem. It worked perfectly, never had down time, devops guy could configure

I have tabs from like 6 months ago. Modern browsers have gotten pretty good at hibernating unused tabs and restore when needed. And this website is extremely light, it gets restored in milliseconds.

$10,000 is only enough for CPU cost (2x AMD EPYC 9754). The rest of the servers (mainboard, RAM, storage, power supply, network card, rack, cooling, etc.) can easily triple or quadruple the cost.

I was blocked as well, so did my wife. A quick google search shows thousands of complaints on, ironically, Reddit itself. So it's probably not just an A/B test, more likely a gradual rollout.

Alphabet is only a holding company. I wonder what kind of authority he has over scientists at Google, Waymo, Deepmind, etc. Probably close to none, so a huge demotion in everything but in title and compensation.

But Alphabet is just a holding company, what does Chief Scientist of Alphabet even mean?

Yeah, I think people who really want to learn will very quickly grow out of this. This is for people who don't want to learn but actually have to for some reasons.

This is at the driver level, just like when you plugin new webcam, keyboard, gpu, etc. Windows will automatically install a default driver for that device. Now, instead of a driver, Windows will happily install some random craps that the ha

This is the dude who ushered in the age of nonsensical boilerplate-ridden OOP code where you need to go down a bajillion of abstraction layers to see the actually implementation. Makes sense that he doesn't care about the bajillion lin

Well, how many humans do you think are able to prompt this to the LLM? "The homogeneity in x is an intertwining between a dilation (x,r,u) to (lambda x, r,u) and a dilation (P,Q,R) to (lambda^-2 P, lambda^-1 Q, lambda R) which seems to

Simple. If they put your company on something like the entity list that Huawei is on, nobody is going to work with you, public or private. The US government can even force non-US banks from other countries to report oversea US citizens&#x27

It's like saying: - winners in the 30s were the last time we have pure human to win (before computer) - winners in the 70s were the last time we have pure human to win (before internet) - winners in the 90s were the last time we have p

There is nothing wrong with scribbling in your own books. There is also nothing wrong with donating such books with clearly written disclaimer on the front page about the condition of the book. Repackaging as 99% likenew and selling them sh

Is it only me or the titles of top books from History, Nature, and Politics sound very click-baiting? I'm really taken off by these titles.

Not really. The gpt-oss models were notoriously hard to remove the built in safety. It totally depends how it was trained.

DeepSeek series are open weights models. Assuming you have enough compute at hands you can always download their weights from https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai

Most (probably all) open model providers implement OpenAI-style API. If your app's already using OpenAI models, it's as simple as swapping the endpoint and the key to switch to these models.

2-3 years ago MAIR was on a roll with Llama 1 2 3, Zuck was on his rehab tour to be a cool guy, and Meta as a whole was pumping record numbers after record numbers. I can't believe how that falters so quickly after the addition of Alex
