"Listen folks, it's no big deal if you can't afford rent or to purchase a house. Ignore my vacation homes in Aspen, Jackson Hole and Nantucket. Just think about how much better you have it than the people in Haiti and get bac

I think the question we need to be asking, in order to measure success, is whether export controls on China have encouraged China to invest more money than they would have otherwise invested in these technologies and whether those investmen

The government is faaaaaaaaaaaar too invested in Azure and AWS for Microsoft or Amazon to give even half a shit. The DOD has no where else to go and the companies know it. They'll sit on their hands until the legal maneuvers play out,

Well, you see, that's completely different. Nvidia agreed to give them money!

I'm sure Alex Karp and Palantir are already charging into the breach, promising to deliver things they don't have the capability to deliver! (Otherwise known as just another day for them)

The point I'm trying to make is that this thing we're calling a 'VUI' is shit. There's no reason speech has to be this boring one dimensional thing. It's like the people that designed these things have never ha

Not sure I agree on the core problems. The core problem is that these systems are just so incorrect in fundamental ways that they're effectively useless. Imagine a buddy of yours tells you about an event he's pretty sure you'

My best guess is they turn off the commercial operations that are costing them the most money (And that they didn't want Sam to push in the first place) and pump up the prices on the ones they can actually earn a profit from and then t

You need to remember that most people on this site subscribe to the ideology that growth is the only thing that matters. They're Michael Douglas 'greed is good' type of people wrapped up in a spiffy technological veneer. Any

I was able to visit this place last year, it was great! I spent all day wandering around and playing. I would have stayed even longer if they weren't closing, hah.

I'm afraid I don't have a lot to add to this conversation but I have to say I just love Tailscale. I don't often run across software that feels so right and when I do it's a great surprise. Every time I see a new featu

The examples in the article seem to be making the point that even when the AI cites the correct context (ie: financial reports) it still produces completely hallucinated information. So even if you were to white-list the context to train th

They look different because they ARE different. One was shot on film and the other was shot digital and then they used Filmbox to apply the film effect. It's two different pieces of source material, which means they had to act/fil

Great analogy, and it's what I think about every time I hop on Netflix. The old Netflix was an absolute gold mine. There was sooooo much good content and almost none of it was their own. The place was overflowing with great movies from

I guess the question is: What's the alternative to defining models? Just passing around DB cursors directly or maybe pulling the results out of a cursor and storing them in a dynamic collection? I don't disagree that models are po

The rules nurses have to deal with around things as asinine as taking PTO are AMAZING. They’re required to put in PTO requests months in advance and the hospital can and will say “Sorry, denied. We don’t have enough people…” As they are int

Could they house their data in a separate company that was founded in Ireland and is not an Alphabet subsidiary to get around this?

This might be my favorite story of the year. So many weird twists and turns. It has to be some kind of money laundering operation, right?

Powershell is so weird to me. It never does what I expect it to do but it’s also full of powerful features. When looked at as a programming/scripting language it feels totally insane and disjointed. I just jump into C# or Python instea

Good points! I'm certainly in favor of time-shifting demand to meet supply to maximally utilize renewables. Let's grab as much of this low hanging as we can. I just thought the framework of his argument was rather odd. Better wate

Am I the only one that find this article incredibly confusing? It starts off talking about wanting to move energy production to renewable sources. Great, I'm with you so far. A major issue with renewable energy (solar and wind) is that

To play devil's advocate, how much money did this breach actually cost the pipeline? A few million bucks? That's probably a rounding error on their quarterly report. Heck, it might have cost them more money to hire more people to

How do you get countries to cooperate that have no incentive to cooperate? Cyber warfare, whether ransomware or espionage, is largely asymmetric. Why would these other countries want to play ball when they have everything to gain? The answe

You don't just 'purchase machines' to magically create cutting edge semiconductors. If this were the case, why in the world would ASML be selling them to TSMC? ASML's Q1 Net Revenue: $2.79 billion TSMC Q1 Net Revenue: $1

Not to mention it takes years to build these fabs. Do they think the automotive industry will use the same chips forever?

So what are the benefits to using Tauri over Electron? Are app sizes smaller? Is the memory footprint smaller?
