The first comment in this thread drew a comparison between Spotify and Shopify. Perhaps you were skimming and missed it.

Yeah. In principal, scientists should be excited by weird results. In practice, though, humans are complex creatures with intellectual and emotional inertia. There's an understandable element of dread when you realize your life&#x27

"Communal ownership of the means of production" evokes an image of a hippy co-op trying to buy pallets of GPUs, or something, which is probably why it sounds unattainable. But if you reorient that to something more along the line

The comment you're replying to made use of a simile, which is a figure of speech using "like" or "as" that constructs a non-literal comparison for rhetorical effect.

If only. If ICE arrests and deports someone without due process, there is no court case.

The point is you can't reliably tell if someone's choice of vehicle is wasteful unless you get to know them a bit. Snap-judging someone's entire lifestyle in the second it takes to recognize a make and model isn't const

I think part of this is because people often don't appeal to local government unless they've got an axe to grind. Nobody goes to the city council meeting to comment on how everything is great and things are fine the way they are.

It's not so perplexing when you understand that Python has long had the best ecosystem of libraries for data science and ML, from which the current wave of AI stuff was born. There are plenty of reasons to dunk on Python, but the real

Just a drive-by thought, but: What you're describing sounds a lot like Temporal.io. I guess the difference is the "workflow" of an agent might take different paths depending on what it was asked to accomplish and the approac

I mean, it probably was a branch that several people contributed commits to that was squashed prior to merge into mainline. Folks sometimes have thoughts about whether there's value in squashing or not, but it's a pretty common a

For sure, but on balance, during that second: - A smart little girl aced her math test. - A loving father smiled at his kid. - A grandma blew out her 80th birthday candles. Lifetimes in progress, building their own memories and experience

If you actually want to offer substantive contrast, then I'd suggest elaborating on what you find interesting.

Your entire comment is threat modeling, which is great! But it demonstrates my point: using an old, insecure thing is sometimes obscure enough to fly under the radar of one class of threats, but presents a juicy attack surface for another

The basis for my understanding is a convo with a Google engineer who was working on self-driving stuff around 10-15 years ago -- not sure exactly when, and things have probably changed since then. At the time they used just a single roof-mo

My (tenuous) understanding is that the challenge with lidar isn't necessarily the cost of the sensor(s) but the bandwidth and compute required to meaningfully process the point cloud the sensors produce, at a rate/latency acceptab

To be fair, some international keyboard layouts actually have variations of key shapes and locations. The shape of the Enter key and the cluster around it is the main example. So it's more than just the labels.

I'm not sure I follow. Your complaint is that Framework only sells direct and not through retailers?

FWIW, I have a bind to toggle relative/absolute. You can have both!

It's ok. Turn on relative line numbers and you'll see the light. :)

Would you mind talking a little bit about the threat model that would lead you to using Graphine on a new device? IIUC, you have to unlock the bootloader to use a custom ROM, which makes the device vulnerable to physical access in cases li

I'm glad this is something we're starting to figure out. The more something you read or hear makes you immediately mad, the less you should share or repeat it without additional verification. Our instinct is of course the opposi

I'm well aware your take is a visceral reaction to the marketing copy in the FAQ (which to be honest, I can't blame you), but that's why I asked the question you didn't answer. :) I'd just encourage anyone with a k
