That video cannot be seen without watching Jeremy Howard's rebuttal: I Like Notebooks. I also believe this was the video that got him kicked out of a conference(?) because it was too confrontational? Which was just ugly for a guy who c

Surely that has more to do with having a fleet of edge nodes that mirror content close to consumers? There are only so many ways to ship video bytes across the internet. Best way to save money is to move fewer bytes.

Left pad was from the creator pulling the code from the public source forge, not from a destructive code change. I assume all of the big tech companies host internal mirrors of every single code dependency + tooling. Otherwise they could no

It is amazing how much is added by the eyeballs. Imagining it without would seem somehow lifeless in comparison.

This was a minor point in the Diamond Age novel. Artificial intelligence is capable of acting in digital movies, but is still imperceptibly off. Requires a real human being to give that extra bit of authenticity.

All sorts of practical questions. Can you bring in a lunch (is that a Coke bottle or a secret camera?)? Are there trash bins? If there is water, does that mean there are bathrooms (who does the restocking?)? Is there coffee?! Who/how d

...lowest CPM of anything except maybe anime fan sites. I am not in ads, so could you expand on this? Why are anime sites low value vs other niche? I would naively expect that anime has huge numbers of <20 year old fans who are m

Not sure if the author is here, but the downloadable SQLite database significantly benefits from applying compression (~75% with gzip). Also, is there a write-up of how they collected the prices? I have wanted to do a similar analysis for y

Are the original assets that important? Presumably they are potato quality relative to modern expectations and have to be recreated anyways. So long as you did not require perfect fidelity, pixel-to-pixel rendition, but something within the

People can and do die from misuses of electricity. Not a move-fast-and-break things kind of domain.

What is the power draw under load/idle? Does it noticeably increase the room temperature? Given the surroundings (aka the huge pile of boxes behind the setup), curious if you could get away with just a couple of box fans instead of the

Government failures in communication is a huge bugbear of mine. I have multiple degrees, and I am routinely stymied by the intention of some government forms or signage. Is anyone involved wondering how the verbiage will be interpreted by a

How do you select for this? I am significantly less cocky than in my youth, simply because I have accumulated a long list of personal failures (ie teaching moments). Failings which I would not want to discuss with a potential employer.

The article made several mentions of requiring additional trained crew. Where is the gap in getting staff? I expect there is a tiny fraction of specialists (engineers, medical, ship command) and a boat load of low skill jobs (cooks, cleanin

That is rather of of how I think the books as well. Alien space magic exists. Every once and a while a researcher discovers some mini Cthulhu, how do the humans respond? It is a book about human drama. If you lean too heavily on space magic

I have been wondering how hard modern search would be to implement. More and more of the world is getting hidden behind walled gardens denied to search. Reddit, newspapers, Facebook, Twitter, are all locked down or heavily restricted. I am

Is there a name for this feeling of wanting to know more, even knowing that you will be horrified regardless of the answer? Morbid curiosity seems insufficient. Like, is there a subreddit dedicated to people drinking their own urine? Was th
