Even at war and cut off from the world the Russian economy is growing. Driving by buoyant commodity prices. They have tech for civilian aviation in their massive military industry. And just the sheer size of the country guarantees the deman

And the Chinese have a modern engine under development that can be used in a commercial airliner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACAE_CJ-1000A

Both China and Russia are building alternatives to Boeing/Airbus commercial airliners. But are in two completely different situations. COMAC relies on international suppliers, probably hoping that will make it easier for them to be all

Can your client actually pay? If not pursuing legal actions will just be a waste of money. In general breakdown payment for larger projects into smaller installments / subprojects.

Isn't Google chrome open source? It should be possible to point to the source code of whatever google.com extensions that may exist. Or is this only available in the packaged distributions of Chrome?

How can anyone think that Hong Kong new territories and Guantanamo, which were areas essentially taken by force and then had a dubious leasing agreement painted over them, is the same situation as an agreement between two formal allies?

I was trying to be tongue in the cheek - my point is emphasizing dangers and restricting access can act as a form of marketing.

OpenAIs models are so powerful and so close to AGI that the global balance of power would flip if autocratic regimes like China were to gain API access to it. That’s what I am getting from the geopolitical safety researching marketing depar

What is the point of making the matrix multiplication itself multithreaded (other than benchmarking)? Wouldn't it be more beneficial in practice to have the multithreadedness in the algorithm that use the multiplication?

Yes. Solar panels, and air cons for that matter, are as cheap as ever. We europeans can easily afford this. Insisting on no air con is a cultural phenomenon. We associate it to something unneccessary, unnatural, excessive, distasteful, and

"Company President Brad Smith also revealed that China accounts for only 1.5% of Microsoft’s total revenue at a recent congressional hearing, raising questions about its future in the country." 1.5% sounds like a number massaged t

I think it is hard to make a for profit general purpose language today; if you by that you mean that the developers directly pay for it. The business model has moved on; and builders for languages / platforms have found other ways of c

I cannot tell if you are joking or not. But it is obvious she is litigating in public until she gets the payoff she wants: https://mastodon.social/@ashleygjovik Of course a big corp cannot give in easily to behaviour like t

So what about US companies like Apple, Tesla and Microsoft that operate in China and wants to make their AI offerings available there while being bound by Chinese requirements to run cloud services in the country? Wouldn’t they be caught by

It looks like a modern statically typed multi-paradigm language with OO, exceptions, higher order functions, pattern matching, annotations, concurrency primitives etc. sitting on top of LLVM and something called CVJM. I guess it is in famil

I will give you this: The emergence of mature powerful web browsers made it possible to move a lot of functionality to the end-user's device and that gave raise to the frontend / backend developer split. But you are pointing to a

It was the "view as a (pure) function of your model" approach that was architecturally new in react. This article explains it using a bit of react jargon (action, store, dispatcher) which is kind of unnecessary - but that's w

What you write about has got nothing to do with react.

You can be old and experienced and still have an attitude of being open to new things ... at least to the point where you understand them before you embark on a rant.

Could it be that you never tried to understand react and why the approach makes sense to millions of developers?

What a silly rant. There is a huge world of different approaches to front-end and lots of them do cool and interesting things that would both up your productivity and give you completely new opportunities ... if you bothered instead of just

No they are not. Not unless you connect a machine gun to your neural net. Otherwise - we are talking about a chat bot - yes if there is no safety - it will say something racist - or implement a virus for you that you would have had to searc
