Definitely a big shift in perspective from the old days when a company was "family" and you had a pension and an expectation to stick with the company for the long haul. Nowadays it's unhealthy to treat a company that way, si

Depends on the work being done. In my experience in-person collaboration just means the loudest most stubborn person gets their way and it's difficult to pause things to fact-check and research while decisions are being made. And hones

The 5880 is the same generation as the 4090 and is a workstation card (it has higher memory but lower CUDA cores available). The price is expected to be around $5-6k. What I mean by 5000 series is the non-workstation next-gen lineup.

I wouldn't be shocked if the 5090 is also the only one with 24GB. Seems like NVidia is trying their hardest to suppress memory increases.

Companies that don't operate within the West's legal scope will become dominate and companies like Google and Microsoft will suffer for it, so big companies definitely don't want NYT winning. You think Chinese companies would

At its heart GPT is the world's best googler. As long as you can find it on Google, an LLM can probably do a better and faster job of finding and curating the information for you.

For small tasks this is fine, but for larger projects you have to be careful. The key to being productive with an LLM for coding is to be able to understand the code being generated, to avoid rather nasty bugs that may crop up if the model

This is a tech forum for discussing technology. This isn't the place for that, and honestly I'd prefer not to have to sift through a bunch of pedantic grammar nitpicking on here.

The whole "AI training blackhole" thing is a myth. As long as humans are curating the content generated by ML, the content generated is still valid training data. Remember, for every ML generated image you see online, someone had

In my experience consistency is more important than any specific style of commit messages. Similar to style guides for code; there's plenty of ways to approach it, but the real value is the consistency in how things are written across

What? This is about whether one country wants to cede a massive economic advantage to another country.

Good point, even to this day coal/coke is required to create steel (electric-arc is only used for recycling steel).

Most industry is heavily dependent on fossil fuels for vehicles. That includes nearly all construction. How would we get around that bottleneck?

Personal usage still relies on fast single threaded performance. As far as business usage, the cost is primarily energy which requires smaller node size for the same performance.

Those same issues exist in most NoSQL databases. If you're going to avoid MongoDB for data safety reasons, you should just go straight to SQL.

Yep, Jepsen has not only confirmed but later reconfirmed that MongoDB has for many years been on par with other NoSQL databases when it comes to transaction guarantees and data consistency.

Never profitable isn't literally correct, but when the net income is floating just above zero, the point is made. Walmart for example normally makes 10-15x the profit of Amazon (outside of covid). Amazon even has years of negative net

My biggest issue is the exposure to kids. If your kids are into professional sports they're going to be bombarded with gambling ads the entire time they watch.

The hardware requirements for WiFi 7 were largely determined several years ago. At this point any further changes are almost certain to be software controlled.

It's because the top earners make obscene levels of money, and a union might disrupt that. So you have a situation where a company might only lose lower performers to unionization, which they can afford to handle.

I think companies are worried about how unpredictable and abusable this currently is. Imagine how parents feel when their 12 year old jailbreaks an npc and starts having explicit conversations with it.

Is a translation of a book not also protected under the original copyright? This is just a human readable form of the original binary.

The problem is that it will refuse to play content if it can't play the ad.

This whole scheme only works if no one knows you put money into the pot. It works for crypto because the receiving account can be created anonymously, disconnecting that account completely from the original source.

It sounds more like a marketing gimmick to me.

At a certain point we're just going to start relying on AGI to design all our technology for us. You can get a head start on physical automation by advancing robotics now, but AGI, once it exists, will close that gap soon enough.

Microsoft owns the .NET trademark but the language and source code for the current runtime is freely forkable and usable by any person/company who wants to do their own implementation. It's no different than the situation with Ora

The compatibility shims that come implicit with .NET are incredible. In my experience many of the .NET Framework libraries work right out of the box on .NET (Core), even on Linux.
