If they were truly paranoid, there would be a lot more they would do. I would call it naive, but then again, they are.

It's not just strange, but completely regarded, _assuming_ no more information, but since it's JPM, of course they know more, which probably make it a lot less regarded. I would not be happy with this trade if I had any $JPM.

Their web-application is worth $200,000. The software of the training infrastructure is worth perhaps $2M; the inference infrastructure is worth perhaps $500,000. Their hardware is worth nothing in 3 years. Their B2B relations are worth per

I never sold hardware, so there is that. I am rather anal about correctness and virtualization products are really complicated and as such almost nobody gets them to work reliably (if there is just one known bug, it's trash, IMO).

It's not curious at all; your workload was probably easy. The same program can crash constantly on one piece of _correct_ hardware, while working fine on a different piece of hardware. I was torturing the hardware and KVM wasn't d

I hate virtualization with a passion, because it's just more crap that doesn't work written by people that shouldn't touch computers. In theory, it's great. In practice, if you need to get "support" from someon

Many countries have false advertisement laws, so if you say something is open source, it does mean various things. So, if you sell the product for free, then of that free product the source has to be practically available.

> Without proper press access how is there any real accountability? No. Real accountability is that the people can torture their leaders when they fail, but that just doesn't happen anymore. Imagine that this was just a big rock and

People keep saying this, but have you actually asked 100 people yourself and found at least 33 agreeing? I don't get why California doesn't just join the European Union and exit the US; it's not like the red neck states like

The US is preparing for war and disinformation is a tool in such a war. The Pentagon just wants the same level of control as the other authoritarian regimes. It kind of shows that "democracy" was never real to begin with. Certainl

CompCert would be a good example, but everything I have done professionally is also stable; with exclusively people like me, bug tracking systems would not need to exist. I also have made some software that is proven (meaning from a small 5

What exactly is the application you are thinking of? I also do IoT, but "low-power" can mean different things for different people.

Unless you physically build the FPGA, you still have a black box, but you just shifted the problem (now, I am not saying that this is a bad thing, since if you run Linux on Intel, it's still proprietary and people still run Linux).

I do not agree he was a great programmer. All of his programs are trivial from a computer science perspective. In fact, you can quite easily check this by trying to let an LLM generate a program like grep. It can do that. Now, there also ex
