Cygnus, Red Hat, MySQL, JBoss etc. all had successful business models. Android, React and other projects come from companies with mixed business models, but they have had success as well - there are billions of active Android phones, and ma

I lived in New York City until 2020. According to the 2010 census, the majority of households in New York City do not own a car. I got around fine via buses, subway and railroads. If need be I could take a taxi. The subway runs all nigh

I was a Unix systems administrator for many years, then went back to school to get a bachelors - a CS degree. What they taught was good - theory of computation, graph theory, data structures and algorithms, (DBMS) databases, computer archit

Housing prices are "sticky", which means when demand goes down, prices don't fall quickly - things like this happen initially. Then if it continues, prices eventually drop.

Cygnus was founded in 1989 and had success. Red Hat started in 1993 and was successful. MySQL was released in 1994-1995 and was successful. JBoss started in 1999 and was successful. A lot of these companies ultimately were swallowed up b

The specification of exactly what you want probably needs to be refined, but for that it's probably helpful on your end to know what is available and what is needed. There are different methodologies for taking Stable Diffusion and add

I bought my refurbished HM Aeron second hand from a chair repair shop in New York City five years ago. With WFH and all I have been using it a lot in the past five years, and it has held up well. Worth every penny.

I mean the conventions of HAVE and USE prefixed macros in C, as opposed to the C found in K&R or C17-ISO/IEC 9899:2018. Like this (they use HAS, not HAVE) https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl5.git/blob/HEAD:&#

I would rather own one Nvidia. The five most valuable companies in the world are, in order: Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet and Amazon. All very tied to software, or the hardware which software runs on. Walmart is worth less than Faceb

Right. In 2011 Jeff Dean ran into Andrew Ng in the Google cafeteria, which AFAIK is where a lot of the modern Google AI started happening. AlexNet won the ImageNet challenge in 2012 (which HN was not impressed with at all at the time - h

Nvidia is worth more than Apple now ( https://companiesmarketcap.com ). It's the second most valuable company in the world behind Microsoft, which is worth about 5% more. I would guess a lot of Microsoft's Azure capex

Earnings estimates were bumped up recently by analysts due to buying (a lot of which looks like from FAANGs) and Nvidia beat those estimates, on top of the enormous run-up in revenues and profits it has had in the past year.

There are three billion Android devices in active use. Writing native applications for a platform with three billion active users is niche, but not that niche. Over 100 billion apps were downloaded on Google Play last year. There probably

I agree. It's obvious this technology has a big future, the question is, outside of the current $3500+ niche marker, when? The Oculus Rift was created in 2011, id Software was demoing it at E3 2012, and in 2016 consumer versions of H

If I do cardio exercise for an hour and am measuring my BPM the whole time, a little less than 20% of the battery is drained. They changed the BPM algorithm in the latest Infinitime update, not sure what the battery hit was in the old one.
