I love it. My bets are on that this idea will be stolen and turned into some micro-transaction plagued app on store before the end of the week.

Interesting, in the era of productivity tools I just realised I don't re-size windows anymore. I just use Swish or Spectacle.

I think it's important to be distinct here... These "Space DC" companies are not showing up on some Techy-Shark-Tank (or walking into VC meetings) with a promise to investors that they have an established strategy which will

Likely a combination of practicality, and the importance of airflow throughout the sand in order to heat it and pull from it effectively. Also, water's specific heat capacity is 4.186 J/g°C, while air's is approximately 1.005

Capitalism, at work. Wherever there is a cost, there will be attempts made at cost efficiency. Google understands that hiring designers or artists is expensive, and they want to offer a cheaper, more effective alternative so that they can c

I guarantee if there's even a 0.1% chance of this architecture eventually outperforming traditional ones, then Zuckerberg et al are already eating the cost and have teams spinning up experiments doing just that.

Replacing faulty nodes or equipment in space seems totally reasonable... It's not like getting faulty drives replaced in my datacenter racks don't already take weeks/months...

It's a hoop to jump through, but I'd recommend checking out Apple's container/containerization services which help accomplish just that. https://github.com/apple/containerization/

Anecdotally, I would have thrown "127,271 BTC to USD" into Google. I didn't mind it.

This is also somewhat highlighted in Google's paper "Borg, Omega, and Kubernetes" which they published in 2016. https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

HRW would cover the simple case, but they needed way more-- e.g. per-request balancing, zone affinity, live health checks, spillover, ramp-ups, etc. Once you need all that dynamic behavior, plain hashing just doesn’t cut it IMO. A custom cl

Somewhere between 85% and 90% of all countries have some sort of mandated severance pay in the event of a layoff. A small percentage of countries also mandate severance even if the employee is fired (with cause).

I feel that companies still misunderstand how to evaluate these metrics they're collecting on the efficacy of RTO. IMO, RTO efficacy should be measured on a team-by-team basis. There are no doubt zero "one size fits all" appr

I feel that the reason RTO is still such a wonderful topic to write about or debate online, is that the spectrum of human "experience" is so wide, that there will always be a significant number of people on either side of the fenc

Is the problem here the modern web? Or that this "simple" feature had its dependencies split amongst 3 microservices, instead of 1? Seems more a system design failure to me.

Knew this was coming thanks to their chrome API's for on-device gen-AI (summarize, translate, generate, etc). I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner... The amount of data available from Chrome users seems enormous.

Not to hand wave-- but this feels industry standard IMO. I have a dozen PRs sitting unacknowledged and stale across a handful of FAANG (and other) repos, including Apple's. I start my first day @ Apple in a few weeks, so I ACK that my

It seems to be an import pipeline bug. Photos does a lot of extra work on import (merging RAW+JPEG pairs, generating previews, database indexing, optional deletion), so my guess is a concurrency bug where a buffer gets reused or a file hand

Their tokenization suggests they're new Qwen models AFAIK. They tokenize input to the exact same # of tokens that Qwen models do.

So this confirms a best-in-class model release within the next few days? From a strategic perspective, I can't think of any reason they'd release this unless they were about to announce something which totally eclipses it?

If you have a raspberry pi or some device laying around that you're happy to act as an always-on-server you could set it up as a Layer 7 firewall using something like Nginx to act as a reverse proxy for SSL/TLS interception. Throw

Unless they are transparent with us in detailing why the technology behind this is different to a slightly altered system prompt... Then I will assume OpenAI is just trying to stay relevant.

This makes sense if we compare compute cost instead of hours. Transformer self-attention costs scale roughly quadratically with context window size. Servicing prompts in a 32k-token window uses much more compute per request than in an 8k-to

Neat idea. I'm sure this will solve some friction for the neuroscientists/mathematicians out there with ~20+ windows open. Personally (as someone with ADHD), this would just relentlessly grind my gears. My thoughts are unpredictab
