From the outside, Eric Schmidt basically put them on the current track and he long predates the acquisition. Most likely when the company was in its infancy and growing at high rates relied on cranking out products loved by all, it was easy

They look interesting, but they are being discontinued with a few other product lines as intel refocuses their efforts. Do you know of other alternatives?

No, 1 performance + 4 efficiency cores. It feels like just adding up the count is a bit of a cheat though.

If this is accurate, they have last summer's SLC internship at $34/hr: https://www.levels.fyi/internships/Goldman-Sachs/Software-En... Not bad in absolute terms, but even their NY/NJ offerings are h

Good one! One thing that never sat right with me about CO2 sensors is that apparently they drift considerably, and automatically calibrate themselves relying on being exposed to 400 ppm on a regular basis, otherwise they might have lower re

Any implementation of memory that's ever existed uses measurable physical quantities/states to represent information, not the other way around. Also, (in classical mechanics to keep it simple) it all comes down to position, momen

Nice project! Can something like this in practice be used with HAM radio via some loophole, or it's basically impossible to use a large fraction of commonly used protocols/payloads (https, ssh, any secured protocols, VPNs, etc) du

This fits MIT's historical pattern of buckling under external pressure, like what happened to Aaron Swartz or Star Simpson. Different this time because of the cancel mob aspect, but not too surprising.

My issue was not with stopping the assault, but more with the fact that the story as told seemed quite embellished, ran on a number of outlets, and it seemed specifically tailored to garner votes. To be specific, on one side the "bad g

My opinion is not informed, but from my point of view the opposite is true. It's been 10 years since the first specs and silicon, according to https://riscv.org/about/history/ . And it seems that one has to go

I do not have any personal experience, but sadly it does not sound too surprising from what's been out publicly. The moment he dropped out and immediately got the CNN job really changed my perception of him. Then after some events from

It would be interesting to see the breakdown of total dollar value by type of construction. For example where I live there seem to be mostly (by total number of units) large multi-family buildings, and then a smaller number of new custom ho

Would be interesting if someone who knows can explain. I'm interpreting it as there is a core/trusted team working on search that uses version control and does code reviews, but these are not visible to everyone else in the compan

Question for people that understand mRNA vaccines: why does the third dose supposedly have the same exact formulation? The narrative in the beginning was that this new technology would allow for vaccines to be developed and manufactured in

The hulu number was quite surprising to me, given that the ad supported tier is $6/mo vs $12/mo for ad free, and if someone watches enough the extra $6/mo would seem worth it. It might have a lot to do with their $1.99 for on

Cool idea! Small UI feedback: it took me a while to figure out the play button and that the URL is much longer and it encodes the whole script for copying and pasting/sharing.

GP is correct for Bitcoin. The crackdown on mining seem to applies to all cryptocurrencies though, just based on power usage, so GPU based operations will be affected as well.

I used to think like this, but I've come to realize it's highly dependent on what your dream is. For some things it's just not possible (or at least way harder than following your dreams in the first place)... the kind of thi

Being just a prototype it might just have been enough to test, like the test Starships these days. Once you can cruise you can trade passengers/cargo capacity for fuel. But probably all the numbers were quite aspirational. Also it prob

I think from their perspective it was very different though. The article specifically talks about compensation to a woman's family if her husband kills her. It sounds like if a slave or a woman was killed, it was considered similar to

In western history, this was definitely something (re?)introduced by various germanic people after the western roman empire collapse, and already they were encouraging monetary reparations. In roman times, if someone killed your cousin you

I think since the early roman kingdom days, murders within a family (parricide) were punished by the state, at least some of them (e.g. a father might have had right of death over his offspring, but maybe that ended once they reached adulth

Could you explain this a bit for those of us that either never worked for a large enough organization, or that did not pay enough attention to the politics while there? I get that a manager wouldn't want to put down their team since th
