yeah - they took forever, one reason being that Sun was in financial troubles and then acquisition took a long time. Second was about licensing and Apache Harmony. So, eventually they dropped most of the big things that were planned - Proje

it wasn't about Oracle trimming the fat. Java 8 took 3 years to release and then Java 9 another 3 years. They had to commit to half a year release cycles and LTRs every 2 years. Since then the releases became a lot more predictable. Wh

the release cycle time was a deliberate choice. Java tried to do fairly large updates and sometimes the release cycle would be very unpredictable as things would slip and take much longer than anticipated. So to make it more predictable and

that's not how AI was used in this case. It's more like a professor with assistants. Professor says the assistants - why don't you dig in this direction, I have a hunch it might produce something valuable. And AI assistant do

they threw it on all the millenial math problems (I think there are 6 at this point unsolved, well, 5 now). And according to them at some point they saw that one was close to being solved, so they pointed all the agents at it. The same thin

what happened to the Jonny Ive and them purchasing his agency? 6.5 billions paid, nothing so far, this was such a sus transaction, sounded like the way to get money out of OpenAI.

I think instead of "be concise" you could tell it how long the answer should be. I.e. give the answer in one paragraph. Or in 10 lines max. At least before it would listen to instructions like this.

Because 1 angstrom equals 10⁻¹⁰ meters and 1 picometer equals 10⁻¹² meters, the relationship is: 1 Å = 100 pm. 1 pm = 0.01 Å.

they are paying for marketshare/customer base. Cursor has a good chunk of it. xAI overbuilt their data centers - they can't find paying customers for them, that's the reason they made deals with other companies like Google to

I think another thing that affects security is that in javascript culture people often tie to the latest version instead of concrete version. This makes it so an update to a popular library can compromise a huge number of packages that depe

one of the biggest health problems in US is obesity. 30 to 40% of the food produced in US goes to waste. Just these two facts will tell you that while, yes, we do need food to live, but on another hand we have an abundance of food and if A

you said that English is not your first language, so heads up - you don't need "for" when you use "e.g.", it already means "for example".

I logged in several times to other people's accounts and reset their passwords. But it's too tiring, people keep adding my email. I hope it's because I have small simple email and not because they want to steal it.

if you look at Mac Mini design, it didn't change much in many years (2011-2024 is practically the same) https://preview.redd.it/always-loved-the-design-of-the-mac-m... so maybe that's the reason they chose it. The
