I'm always mystifed as to why the heck this is on any goverment phones in the first place? With the exception of perhaps PR wonks whos job it is to be on "the socials" (thank you PR wonks, btw).

Bookmarked (and appreciated!) solely to let me be lazy and send a link instead of repeating the same speech to other devs.

This sounds suspiciously close to the "we are in no danger except for a bank run" statement from SVB right before the FDIC took over.

They obliviously missed an opportunity to call it "Roxy" and avoid the unfortunate current name collision...

"Why are so many (of .003% of the male population)..." This feels like some kind of weird PR resurge effort to promote a fake trend into real popularity, for who or what reason I can only guess.

Not a finance guy but I think that would literally be the opposite of how banks work. They have to lend out customers money in various forms, including giving that money to other customers in the form of loans, loaning it in huge chunks to

I always find the wording of these discoveries interesting where a certain thing started at a particular time, instead of by a particular time. The difference might seem small but I think using "by" better conveys some tempora

If this isn't just playing "follow the leader" behind companies like Meta and Amazon, I wonder if it's related to loss of revenue from customers balking at the exorbitant rates for Jira and Confluence. I understand there

Basically "We've got so many empty desks you'll have to share them until we have more people filling desks...". The quote here was interesting though: Pichai said in a companywide meeting last week, according to audio ob

There's something unspeakably captivating watching a cowboy-dressed academic outside in the apparent wilderness with a backdrop of snowy mountains demonstrating examples of reconstructed ancient proto indo eropean language.

Should probably mention you can do this outside of Stability.ai's system (selfhosting) for those interested: https://github.com/benrugg/AI-Render and this one, I beleive: https://github.com/carson-

Zodiac was great! The description of the effect on the consumers of the PCB-tainted items (not a spoiler) was spine-crawling.

I'm of the opinion that officials who declare a site is "safe for habitation" or whatever it was termed originally should personally guarentee this by habitating onsite for at least 3 months thereafter, drinking and bathing i

Ever since they decided to paywall I've been skipping them as the actually valuable content can often be found elsewhere. Even more of a reason to do so now. I'm sure some will decry going elsewhere as inciting the move to generat

I'm with you there on hoping for more concentration on local training and inference, especially on something like the new Orin (open to donations, NVidia!). I think there's still something of a financial disincentive to promote se

It's interesting to note that the premise of DIARI is "[to] foster the development of new AI systems created by and for Black people in the US and Africa. DAIR will prioritize leadership by members of these communities and create

Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell also use this technique, making some of the most amazing paintings because they're grounded in real anatomy and references, instead "this looks about right". The artist not using photographic refe

Let them play NES, classic games like Super Mario World. Then show them the same games on the emulator FCEUX, specifically the hex editor (for glitching the game by plonking numbers at random addresses) and then the lua scripts that give th

Absolutely loved Principles so much that I bought copies for my team members and some leadership. I implemented small measures of radical transparency with the teams I managed where it made business sense as well. Wasn't always popular

Not a finance guy, but from what I read and listened to, yes: "The fund combined multiple uncorrelated return strategies that are leveraged appropriately to maximize returns, while lowering risk." (from CNBC). I think this was a n

I know at least a couple CEOs that would probably chain people to their desks, families notwithstanding, if it could be made just a little less illegal. I don't think the industry as a whole is moving to this model any time soon, as mu

Don't take this as advice, but I see housing prices/rents crashing once office space owners see this as a valid option and strive to outcompete other other real estate owners. This is particularly encouraging as it kills a number

Google trying to game the results with some highly publicized a/b testing is going to result in them losing market share, not people getting angry at lawmakers. This is a hilariously uninformed move on their part. Bet it gets blamed on
