>Can a super smart business-y person educate this engineer on how this even happens. There is nothing business-y about this. As a non-profit OpenAI can do whatever they want.

There is one OpenAI board member who has an art degree and is part of some kind of cultish "singularity" spiritual/neo-religious thing. That individual has also never had a real job and is on the board of several other non-pr

I think it's a good idea that knowledge workers learn the fundamentals of at least one trade. I am interested in HVAC and building automation. You can also master a trade and become a knowledge worker. Here in Denmark it's possibl

What do embedded real-time Linux people use for bootloader, init system, utilities, and C standard library implementation? Even Android that does not have real-time constraints ended up using Toybox for utilities and rolling their own C sta

>Big complex hardware is a no-no for true real-time. SpaceX uses x86 processors for their rockets. That small drone copter NASA put on Mars uses "big-ish" ARM cores that can probably run older versions of Android.

It is interesting how Iran is the only country that is, through its proxies, getting kinetic against Israel. The Iranian proxies in Yemen and Lebanon have been firing missiles at Israel for a month while the Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syri

Do you even read NYT, WaPo, and CNN? They have all been very good at showing things from the Palestinian side and how much people in Gaza are suffering. It's absolutely unhinged to put them in the same category as Fox News.
