I am former AWS and this is pretty accurate. The other factor to add here is that, with some exceptions, the whole company feels like a Rube Goldberg machine and very few people care about what happens outside their cog (because they’re not

The slower car should signal the moment they decide they need to merge into the lane, then wait for an appropriate gap.

I’m sorry but that is an insane interpretation of turn signals. If you only turn them on once you’re about to execute the maneuver, they’re useless. The whole point of them is to warn other drivers you intend to do something so they can ant

I would be interested to hear what advantages you find Antigravity CLI has over Claude Code.

I keep hearing this thing about apps and I'm confused. I write code on my MBA M1, run orbital simulations, run a media server... All like I would on Linux. What am I missing on userland? I understand there is low level system stuff I c

People in Germany and the Netherlands must extra hardened I guess, since everyone bikes around there, even with their kids in tow.

After so many years, so many people still believe in this user control paradigm. Giving users control works for the slim percentage of power users. Most users will end up obliterated by scammers and other unsavory characters. Perhaps there

Indeed there was a split second of primal flight response, and then awe. Not like you have a long time to think about it!

I was lucky enough to see this one live. It was astounding. It became day for a few seconds and then it broke off into a half dozen pieces or so. It left an incandescent trail behind. It looked incredibly close. I had the feeling we were go

Not disputing all of that, but telling the GP flat out "no" is incorrect, especially when distributed training and inference are the only way to run modern massive models.

There are multiple ways to train in parallel, and that's one of them: https://pytorch.org/tutorials//distributed/home.html

I haven't touched this in a while, but you can train NNs in a distributed fashion and what GP described is roughly the most basic version of model parallelism, where there is a copy of the model on each node, each node receives a batch

How is Germany similar to the US? Perhaps in the enshittification of society, but certainty not in the forces that drive innovation. Germany could be that innovation hub in Europe, and it seems incredibly resistant to do so. And all of th

I also don't get it. I worked there for 8 years. I'm southern european and there was always a "half joke" about our lazyness. But we worked the hardest. My local colleagues were incredibly entitled and produced very litt

Off topic: was Kunming's slogan still "civilized Kunming"? I found it pretty funny when I was there some years ago.

As someone with 0 idea about semiconductors development: How does making your own chip compare to using FPGAs when you need low quantities? What things can you do with your own IC that you cannot do with FPGAs?

The point of the conversation is how people express these relationships in their day-to-day so they can be encoded in software. Would your grandparents' contact be saved on your phone as "Mom's mom" or as "grandma&q

But then you look at Japanese (and other far east) websites and they're full of info, buttons, links, etc. Like old western websites! I've always wondered why we diverged so much on UIs between eastern and western countries. Chine

100%. I'm also a Spaniard and immigrating next year to Bay Area and I can say that I'd only move to a handful of cities in the US. The cultural shock was too hard in places outside major metros. And I've lived in South East A

I just returned to Spain and went through this Cl@ve thing only to realize it cannot be used for a lot of "federal" (estatales) services nor for the "state" (comunidad autónoma) services. In Spain we have so many layers

That's all good in theory. In practice, it's just a massive time sink for citizens. I know because I'm going through some of it right now for regularizig an inheritance and I've wasted so much time, but having this data

A little off-topic, but: I just found out about Comma.ai and... is it really legal in the US? I know it wouldn't be in most (all?) EU countries, as modifications to the vehicle require certification by a professional engineer. It'
