To elaborate on this, if the individual in Somalia didn't want to die from said cancer and preferred better regulation, they would readily move to Ohio.

Dollar street [1] (linked from the article) by Gapminder is a fascinating resource for learning about what life is really like for many people. [1]: https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street

Almost a kind of domino theory, if you will?

The intersection of entities whose security is based around "responding to every CVE quickly" and the entities that care about supporting OSS projects has measure zero.

Mathematics is such a wide field and the questions asked here are ill defined. If the comment is "the AI founder bros are hyping it up and it's not as good as they claim", I think we all agree that's true. LLMs are good,

This is my favourite book, it's hilarious and it kind of mirrors how I go about my life: pondering every little detail and how everything fits together. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as dullness though?

In the US, that is an unthinkably bad swearword for some reason.

5 year amortization is pretty realistic I'd say. A100s (came out 2020Q1) are still in heavy use. (I think V100s from 2017Q3 are starting to be phased out a fair bit.)

Another similar thing is to leave an easy sentence half-finished so when you come back to it, there's an obvious first thing to do and hop back in.

On a quick look, isn't this a bit antithetical to the concept of the internet as a decentralized and hierarchical system? You have to route through the public internet to interoperate with the rest of the public internet?

I agree on the first. On the second: I would bet a lot of money that they aren't actually breaking even on their API (or even close to). They don't have a "pay as you go" per-token tier, it's all geared up to demons

The APU is not on during flight, so not a safety thing. It's just for providing power (and bleed air) on the ground (if there's no other power source). E.g. can't start up at airports without external power with the APU INOP.

Glad to see them releasing it under an MIT license.

I think it's a bit early to say. At least in my domain, the models released this year (Gemini 2.5 Pro, etc). Are crushing models from last year. I would therefore not by any means be ready to call the situation a stall.

I'm not afraid of running servers, that was not the point. The point was exactly that I wanted a serverless postgres. If I can throw together a random project, completely isolated, that costs $0.10 per month, that enables me to do ma

A good example of how good ideas can suck with bad implementation. NYC has a paratransit system where you can essentially do something like this if you have a disability that stops you from taking the train (there's still lots of subwa

It's my understanding that Neon had some tech to basically "wake up" the DB when a request came out -- so you could "scale down to zero," if you will. I was hoping to explore this for small personal projects: I by f

They just renamed "system" to "developer" for some reason. Their API doesn't care which one you use, it'll translate to the right one. From the page you linked: > "developer": from the application

Late 2025, "its PhD-level knowledge of every field". I just don't think you're going to get there. There is still a fundamental limitation that you can only be as good as the sources you train on. "PhD-level" i

Fully agree as a "top student" from probably a school similar to where author is a professor. I would add that reading this piece and the attitude the author has towards students, I doubt I would want to attend their class (or pos

That "LaTeX alternative" looks awful? `integral_t^oo` in place of `\integral_t^\infty`? Why would anyone switch from LaTeX to this other than the speed?

I'd say it's not that off: for computer science the numbers are 686/1150, so only about 40% are US citizens or PRs. This is even more scewed at top schools in my experience. Also thanks for finding this data, didn't know

People seem to be getting stuck on the PhD opportunity cost piece for STEM. The matter of fact is that Americans don't do PhDs in STEM: if you look at the top schools and top departments, they are 70-90% international students. The PhD

It's a new spin on an old idea. Software whiz kids are what a part of society now see as the cream of the crop.

Fully agree on minimizing the use of cars. But I still wanted to do this computation to compare: EPA says a gallon produces 8.8 kg CO2/gal tailpipe emissions [0]. A best-case sedan does about 50 mi/gal [1]. That's 17.6 kg CO2
