These people have zero idea what they're doing. Not a single mention of pipeline parallelism that would actually make the setup useful to run a big model.

He's dead wrong about the usefulness of the technology, but he's dead right about the uncontrolled corrupt circular financing that is driving this crazy over-expansion and market distortion. He fulfils a very useful function as a

They blew up my interest when the stole my money by cutting me off from Gemini CLI with no explanation or recourse. I did not violate the terms of service and my only crime seemed to be not wanting to use Antigravity. They still took my m

If the Chinese labs can compete on a shoestring budget with access to much less powerful hardware, Google should be able to compete as well. They're becoming almost irrelevant for agentic coding right now.

The way publications just regurgitate this stuff with no critical thought boggles my mind.

It's basically a micro Unix implementation aimed at old and resource constrained systems. I've been following it for a few years. The documentation is terrible, there are hardy any updates, but it does seem to be making slows, s

Frankly, if you think that, you're not exactly a power user of office suites. Apple apps are a complete joke in the professional world.

The statement that Apple has been supporting businesses for decades is just the most self-serving bunch of crap. You can tell how thin this is by the way they push local ads on Maps as some kind of headline feature. What a joke.

I unexpectedly liked this. I thought the recommendations were actually useful.

Wow, that is one ugly vehicle. It looks like it's been in an accident.

JetBrains does a great job with this by actually rewarding users who report bugs with free licenses and such.

Why are the words 'Computer Vision' not above the fold on the front page? How am I supposed to know that CV stands for Computer Vision rather than Curriculum Vitae?

I've seen a bunch of companies do this. The problem is always that it isn't Excel. This means usually things like XLWings, Excel-DNA, etc. are actually more useful.

There probably _is_ something in the port compressed up against the back - try scraping around inside with a non-conductive pointy thing.

There has been several articles about this man recently. I come away from them wanting to help him financially. I feel if you're going to publish an article about him, and make money from adverts on your website, you have a responsib

The only thing that might make Apple improve their documentation is if there was evidence that people started actually abandoning Apple's platforms. Currently it seems there is a never ending supply of developers ready to gamble years

Bizarre, pretty misleading pages about electro-magnetic radiation were a huge turn-off.

On the original ARM2 this design made a lot of sense because if you understood how the instruction timing worked, you could essentially perform as well as a specialized blitter. I never understood this at the time, and largely blame that o

You're making a mistake many engineers make in thinking that getting a startup off the ground is all about engineering. Frankly, engineering is often the easy part, and I say that as an engineer who co-founded a tech heavy successful v

These examples actually were more obscure than the usual list.

When a blog about a collaboration tool devolves into a formal state machine definition and blocks of lisp syntax, I have my doubts about the project's ability to communicate with potential users.

Yes, the communications primitives line up with event synchronizations and the select with the external choice operator, but Go doesn't implement the process operators parallel, seq and interleaved. This is what the guy is getting at,

This is realised in a real language as occam. I've never understood why so few languages have a par construct, it's much more natural than asynchronous launching.

I've had a good experience running Windows 10 on Azure DevLabs VMs accessed via Remote Desktop from Mac and PC. Even with the VMs running in Ireland (I'm in London), they're very snappy and can happily use Visual Studio, Ecli

Having the buck stop with you. With nowhere else to turn, you have to step up pretty fast. It forces you to own your decisions and not run to more senior people to help with your problems.

It's a lot more than 10 rashers. It's about 1kg or 2lbs of bacon (around 100 rashers). Completely nuts to eat that much, if nothing else, the amount of salt consumed would be enormous.

Great to have a resource like this. By way of providing some hopefully constructive feedback, the language seems a bit excessively informal: "Safe Rust is For Reals Totally Safe. Unsafe Rust, unsurprisingly, is not For Reals Totally S
