You can travel to the ends of the earth, to a village down miles and miles of dirt roads and still see someone bent over their phone. People buy RAM.

I've seen references to this capability in reporting elsewhere. It's less useful in an aircraft than a car because you can gradually descend, reducing power proportionally as you're preparing to land. But I'm guessing th

They definitely do. A common configuration is running a supervisor model in the cloud and a much smaller model locally to churn on long running tasks. This frees Openclaw up to lavishly iterate on tool building without running through too m

Unpopular opinion: SQL Server is Microsoft's best product. Cost aside, it's a smart choice for a relational database and reliably meets most needs better than the open source alternatives.

Because Grab is a copy of Uber and it would not exist without Uber. It may be that Grab is an equal (or perhaps better) implementation right now. But the entire category of app-based ride-sharing was created by Uber.

It sounds like you've never sat down on a BART fabric seat only to discover it is wet. I won't miss the fabric seats.

It's called pipelining. If you have 5 floors of space to work with, there's no reason you couldn't run a 48 or 72 hour bacon-making process on a portion of the pork running through the facility.

I think you're missing the point. That section was to show that the model is sometimes wrong and lacks the self-awareness to be uncertain about that wrong answer. They're transparently providing an example where their product does

The vast majority of general aviation aircraft fly with 1950s technology air-cooled engines that also require 100 octane "low-lead" gasoline as certified. That includes Cessnas built in the 2000s. It's not just old planes lik

Keep in mind that most of the big three regions are located in the same metro area, often times right across the street from one another. They have private network peering that circumvents WAN circuits, your data is literally transiting bet

Most of these thefts utilize "relay attacks" that simulate the key being in close proximity to the car, using directional antennas to interrogate the key that's sitting in the house and then relay it back to the car. The solu

The industrial design of those systems was nice but the Micro Channel architecture bus was an abject failure that never got traction. There are better examples of great IBM PC products, like the ThinkPad.

Did anyone actually finish this article? It felt like it was building towards something really interesting but could have used just a bit more editorial discipline.

Minimum wage is around $15/hr in Seattle, $15.59 in San Francisco and $12 anywhere in the state of California or Washington. I'm not suggesting that this machine makes sense but it is worth noting that the cost of labor varies sig

That is the program cost. Like with software, much of this cost would be in the design and intellectual property of the program. The replacement cost, the cost of goods sold, is far lower.

We have no Microsoft affinity but have moved our large SaaS application from AWS to Azure. Our tech stack is 80% linux / OSS and 20% .NET. And we're deprecating the MSFT portion as quickly as possible. For us, Azure was a big win

Yes. This was a very minor failure in comparison to the overall launch. But this lack of transparency played right into the undercurrent of sleaziness that seems to hang around Elon Musk industries. I'm a big fan of SpaceX and of Musk

True. But by cashing out the maximum possible amount, this is far more than a hedge. In your scenario, I would cash out some but would have confidence in the strength of the business that I created... unless I didn't. In reality, I&#x2

I work at TASER/Axon, the company asserted to have this technology. This article, which appeared on the front page of the Drudge report this morning, is extremely disingenuous. They have repackaged a press release that announced our in

It is amusing to read about people complaining about how many homeless people there are in SF without seeming to consider the reasons why other cities have fewer homeless. This article further implies that with such high taxes we should be
