They already do. But some customers want to more finely control the various trade offs with different technology implementations, and services like this allow them to do so. Everyone else can keep using what they already have.

These aren’t options. Also, if you ran the second biggest company on the planet, your investors would hate you for that behavior.

> Nvidia has warned for the first time that it is at risk of losing a $1.25bn (£950m) downpayment for the British microchip designer Arm if regulators persist in holding up the deal. So, roughly half a million RTX 3090's to put it i

My car has the same horsepower (or luggage space, or windshield size, or more seats, etc.) as a Porsche. For some reason nobody here brings that up. Considering that AAPL is the most valuable company on the planet, they might just have a go

Why is it that Max Headroom, now 35 years old, has more realistic eyes than most video games today? I'm looking at you, Madden 21.

To me, this is Example #1 in the proof that demographics is a big driver of inflation (or deflation).

I had similar thoughts. It seems to me that a better choice than resigning would be to get that part figured out. (Maybe they did, but I couldn't tell from their post). Either way, I wasn't there, so I probably shouldn't make

Out of curiosity, to whom is the Moderation Team accountable? Seems like they and the Core Team should be accountable to the same oversight board. I don’t know the inner workings of the organization, so apologies if I’m asking a dumb questi

I have had a crazy theory for awhile now. It goes like this… Scammers have a do not call list. The only people on it are violent drug lords and members of congress. The first will kill them, the second will kill their business (by fixing t

Jeff - you mentioned "Pi's bus being only Gen 2 and x1". Do you see a linear scaling if those interfaces on the Pi are improved - i.e. is there anything else that looks like a near-term bottleneck if those are improved? Great

Looks like this could be pretty nice. I noticed your disclaimer at the bottom of the linked page [0], and wanted to get an idea of how far you were looking to take this. Will it go beyond maths into normal functions (string handling, etc)

Because models <> reality. That’s it. Full stop. Anyone who thinks otherwise will eventually face this same fate. For instance, from the sub-heading, “But the pandemic messed up its predictions” should really be this instead, “but t

But FB can outspend them all on the thing that counts at that level - focus. FB is crazily focused on it. It is unlikely to be more that a rounding error or a distraction to the others.

It would be interesting to see a something like a conductive metal monolith and then just bolt the processor boards to one side of it. One side would be flat, the other grooved with coolant flowing down to keep cool.

Let’s say you have a requirement for 5 years in a particular language. Would you rather hire a developer with 20 years experience but only 3 in the language you want, or would you rather hire the guy who has 6 years experience in the langua

There’s so much more than UI: back ends, database, IO layers and so on. You might even look into physical network and telecom. Those still require a lot of configuration and logic, which is essentially what all CS grads have been trained i

That's 450 people per stairwell. Assuming 20 people per floor, it would be packed with lines extending out into the floors.
