Has Google launched one successful new product in the last 10-15 years? Not acquired and polished it up, that they can usually do, but actually launched themselves.

Yeah the ranking looks completely busted. Unless people actually like those words.

BTW, this is the reason why many countries consider cluster munitions illegal. It's not about their effect during the conflict, it's about how long after the conflict these are still a problem. Unfortunately this type of weapons i

I often refer to this quite explicitly, something like "my skills include reading and writing modern math", as if it was a foreign language, or musical notation.

Don't you worry, Apple is still looking for a product market fit. And when you have enough billions, do enough brainstorming and cool ad videos you can actually find things that never existed in the first place. Then we will see mass a

Next time a British RC-135 overflies Germany it should change its callsign to Obi Wan Kenobi, or something like that. People from flight tracking forums will take care of the rest. Though it is not quite flashy enough, hmmm...

This only applies to simple stuff, but not to things like DMA, or framebuffer devices.

And ultimately you carry none of the risk. It's not your company, and the company can (and will) cut you off at a random time. Unless it is your company :)

Good point. One potential drawback is that there's a metric ton of software already written for the RPi's GPIO. Plus all the HATs. Heck, you can even transmit straight from the pins [noisy and likely noncompliant] radio signals us

Here's the protocol I use: for any new project first use the 8GB version. Let it settle for a while, then check what do I actually need, and swap the board for a cheaper one. Minimizing the specs makes sense it you have many RPis runni

Coal even releases nuclear isotopes into the air.

Profit is the whole point of owning a company, unless it's run by an oligarch, like is the case with Twitter. Not too dissimilar from Abramovich or another Sheriff from Moldova owning a sports club.

The quicklime method shouldn't be particularly fast, at least that's what my chemical intuition says (CaOH2 is barely soluble in water). What a bad name!

Shhh, the people here want blood. BTW, did you know that there's an endless stream of "satisfying" drama on YouTube? I heard that Mr. Beast is finally in some hot water!

High performing is the clueless, not the loser. Bare minimum is the loser. Those names are not chosen well, especially the "loser".

And yet it is not obvious to everyone.

Keep in mind that in practice this classification is not perfect, as in you cannot just bucketize people into three categories and declare perfect understanding. You should treat the roles described in the article as archetypes of human beh

This is also what happens in nuclear reactors that go bad. These aren't full blown nuclear explosions, and if there's any major explosion at all it's usually from the hydrogen that is created when hot metals touch water.

I often subtitle old, obscure, foreign language movies with Whisper. Or random clips found on foreign Telegram/Twitter channels. Paired up with some GPT for translation it works great! You can do this locally if you have enough (V)RAM,

Check out 3blue1brown, they have a series on transformers. Very approacheable. The randomness is very explicit in inference.

It's just how this sort of a model works in inference. You can set the temperature to zero, then you'll get mostly constant outputs (but not quite, since as far as I can tell nobody is working on determinization of such systems, a

Yes, this happens by design.

How is this different from function calling?

Yeah, a beam-rider, doesn't have a fiber optic cable like the TOW. There was some cool footage early on in the war where a skilled Ukrainian Stugna-P operator pointed the beam just off of an enemy helicopter (or maybe some armored vehi

The point of such fake filesystems (like /proc or /sys) is that everyone immediately understands them. Yes, you could have a syscall for /proc, but it is more complicated.

Why do people work on such projects? I mean specifically the engineers. You're still paid the same engineer salary, except now you expose yourself to criminal prosecution. The corpo is at least getting some extra returns for the risk,

Why does it matter that it's a foreign entity? Do the local entities enjoy some form of democratic oversight, like for example the military or the police does?

I am really cheering for this recent TikTok crusade because there is a pretty good chance that corps like Google will get hit in the process. They, for example, surely have this kind of data, even if not explicitly materialized in some unde

It was much more than the Ghetto that got entirely destroyed, to the point where new street layout has been implemented after the war since there was no reason to use the old layout. Well, apart from property claims, some of which are still
