This is not necessarily true for all situations. Northern Europe is planning to produce a lot of electricity with offshore wind, but laying deep sea high voltage electricity cables isn’t cheap. There’s already a lot of gas pipelines that ca

My impression is that a big part of the reason for the sudden boom in humanoid robots is that they lend themselves particularly well to RL based training using human-made training footage using VR. It’s much easier to have a robot broadly c

Ending world hunger isn’t that expensive: https://wfpusa.org/news/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-world-... Nvidia’s profit alone would’ve been more than enough to end world hunger by these estimates.

Nobody shipped this because previously almost nobody could use CLI tools. Now you can just ask an llm to generate the commands which makes things much more accessible

You replaced “1.3B is not pocket change” with “1.3B€ isn’t a huge chunk of this”. Those have opposite meanings.

Interestingly Shannon did write about entropy relating to the English language, and how given a sequence of tokens, the next token can be predicted using the probabilities of finding that token after a certain sequence in other bodies of te

But that example is of writing a green field library that deals with an extremely well documented spec. While impressive, this isn’t what 99% of software engineering is. I’m generally a believer/user but this is a poor example to point

Just out of curiosity, what do you believe Snowden intended by leaking what he leaked? From your comment it almost reads as if you think the publication was the point, not that those implicated by the leaks should be made to change their wa

Both of these can be true. Compare the US to countries like China for example, which has had success growing its economy with more state led companies and financing through state owned banks. It’s not perfect, but compared to western countr

Does all of that matter if an attacker has access to your device and can take screenshots of your conversations, or read those conversations out of memory in their unencrypted state?

Couldn’t the browser garbage collect the promises (and their callbacks) that have been rejected or resolved? I.e. effectively “shift” the promises at the start of the queue that have been dealt with and will never be relevant again? At leas

Only because everyone believes it’s a winner takes all game and this perfect competition will only last for as long as the winner hasn’t come out on top yet.

Barring population growth, there is essentially fixed demand for agriculture. For software we don’t know what the market will look like once everything about making it gets automated. Either we will churn out the same amount of software wit

Generally, this is not really true. The point of CRDTs is that as long as all parties receive all messages (in any order), they should be able to recreate the same state. So instead of merging changes on the server, all you need is some way

The game has definitely changed. It used to be profitable to be a photographer for hire, and that’s no longer the case. But the revenue generated through pictures (by influencers) has increased a lot. If today all you do as a programmer is

This is true, but: - there are more programmers today than there were back then - the best programmers are still those who would be considered technical back then

And in those cases, most people condemn it. But when it’s an algorithm (which was created by humans) we say “these people were already insane, and the creators of the algorithm should not be held liable”, apparently.

Regular users don’t think of push notifications as something that needs to go through some central server owned by Apple. If Alice sends Bob a message, shouldn’t that require only their phones to communicate with one another, without some t

CUDA kernels are a non starter because they require Nvidia GPUs. Things like CAD software will mostly use some kind of lower common denominator graphics layer like openGL. Webgpu is actually a decent alternative to that. There certainly are

Weird take. Norway has about the same gdp per capita as the USA with stricter regulations than France. Ireland’s GDP per capita is higher than that of the USA, with less bureaucracy than France but more than the US. Not to mention that all

But now every firm has access to AI. If a firm that doesn’t fire people but instead simply boosts productivity, they will out compete their competitors. The only way to compete with that firm is to also hire enough employees and give them A
