I think calling this a "wild-ass guess" undersells it a bit (either that or we have very different definitions of a WAG).Very well though-through and compelling case. My biggest question is whether composable models are indeed the

So a Christmas card list would be illegal? That seems...excessive.

I think they know it's bad, they just don't need to make it better because its their OS so they're the only game in town. Developer experience isn't why people write apps for mac/iOS, so there's not much incent

That's awesome! Did you fly helicopters before starting on the instructor path? Helicopters seem like a blast, but the cost is on another level (and that's speaking as a fixed-wing pilot used to the crazy costs of GA generally).

Aside from the Rust aspect (which is cool!), I can't believe we've come this far and still don't have low-latency video conferencing. Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but people talking over each other and the lack of convers

I'm wondering where the raw video from the helicopter came from originally. My guess is that this isn't something you can do with an SDR and hobbyist equipment, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Agreed, the "if anything management is getting screwed here" got me good. Still not convinced management, who walked away with millions in cash, got screwed, but it was a well-crafted article. Edit: I should clarify that by "

Totally forgot that Boeing owned them. They have been on fire lately with all the new features and I hope this doesn't impact them.

It seems like cursor acceleration (breaking the linearity between pixel and physical distance) would make this non-trivial; curious how you implemented it.

The court did not rule on whether civil rights were violated, only that they have standing to bring their case: our opinion does not preclude Square from disputing White’s factual allegations. ... Nor do we express any view on whether a de

To copy a reply from rgbrenner: The CA SC didn't address that.. our opinion does not preclude Square from disputing White’s factual allegations. ... Nor do we express any view on whether a defendant violates the Act by discriminating

Getting 5 seconds when the credits start to stop it from auto-playing the next episode bothers me sooo much more than the previews (also not a fan of those, but mute is good enough for that).

The scale of this is so hard to comprehend. Seeing the people standing on the dry-dock below the ship, its just mind-blowing to see how massive both of these things are.

I'm in the process of porting some DSP code from python to rust and was really wishing I could use matplotlib to check my intermediate data. If this works like it looks like it should it would totally blow my mind!

Do you like Vidalia onions? More seriously, how much interaction do you have with the farmer(s)? Seems like there would need to be a lot of communication to make something like this work. Super cool story!

Really impressive results, though I wish they had gone more into the deep learning part of it (but I guess that's probably the secret sauce). Can't help but notice how well Nvidia is positioned for what appears to be a growing wav

It's a nice idea, but I don't see how you can objectively measure the risk or value of individuals like that. For example, if a company spends 5 years treading water/pivoting before it takes off, how do determine how much of

Replacing housing with salary, it doesn't seem obvious that the answer is yes, though. Quick Google for wage vs inflation came up with this, which appears to show that real wages actually haven't increased when you account for inf
