Domain hoarding is really annoying. Recently I noticed superposition.de was available and wanted to register it for a side business, now a domain grabber got it and is reselling it for 27.000 USD... I can't fathom how this is a legal p

So is Hyperlight a competitor to things like Firecracker or does it serve a different niche?

I've seen this so many times already, going from server-rendered web apps to client-side rendered web apps in React, then through multiple generations of state management and component management strategies in React, then back to serve

Probably needs to be taken with a large grain of salt and might be exaggerated but I recently heard a claim ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKdtyDnGM-o ) that the FHA program basically prevents a large number of foreclosure

I guess. I mean my own services get fake reviews without my involvement. I have a B2B software business for which I know all customers personally and still there is a product page on G2 reviews (which I didn't create) full of fake revi

Man, this is really the worst case we've been fearing in Germany as well, i.e. an overzealous government that wants access to the master decryption keys of any app using end-to-end encryption so they can backdoor them anytime they like

I did my PhD in that area, building the first working superconducting quantum processor (working in the sense of showing quantum speed up, although practically useless of course). That was one of the most fun things I did my entire life, I

Do you use recover() a lot? I have never used it much, I guess it is important in some cases but I don't think it's used that much in practice, or is it?

Fiber has been laid out in many areas already, it won't be long until most households are upgraded. But to be honest it's not as much of an issue as people make it out, in most areas you can get 250 Mbit downstream and 50 Mbit ups

Lots of leet scientists there, in all seriousness. CEA is my alma mater, though I worked on quantum computing, not fusion.

Bot detection. If someone has residential proxies and can forge millions of IPs you're out of luck and have to analyze the call pattern or other data to remove the bots, if it's data center IPs you can remove them quite easily wit

In general, how do you run these big models on cloud hardware? Do you cut them up layer-wise and run slices of layers on individual A100/H100s?

What's doom scrolling for you is user engagement for the company, and by their definition you're not wasting your time, you're increasing their revenue by seeing and clicking on ads. That's the only thing that really mat

I have a Monica and while I like typing on it I couldn't imagine writing anything substantial with it, the physical effort required to hammer down the keys hard enough is already quite fatiguing, even for someone enjoying mechanical ke

Nice, I'm eager to upgrade as it's really cool to have a single cable to hook up my laptop to all my peripherals and monitors, but so far resolution & refresh rate were quite limited in multi-monitor setups, I think that new s

I think one can simply use the Euler-Lagrange method which is able to account for the constraint forces acting on the ball. Haven't worked that out for this particular problem but it should be relatively easy. Davies argument is a bit

I think we might get these eventually in Golang, at least to a degree. In the end it's just a question whether they will be zero-cost like in Rust or incur some runtime overhead (I would assume the latter). Would be fine for me, I rely

I find this interesting, I saw a couple of other comments by you on this. Do you have a blog article or paper about this architecture?

Negative, I'm just a meat popsicle myself.

I think that's overkill, most of the time I just bubble errors up and I have very few cases where the error handling depends on the type of error. I guess it's because I don't use errors for things that are recoverable and tr

I mean it has polymorphism via v-tables and composition via traits, that's enough object-orientation for me. Inheritance is a core principle of OOP but in practice most C++ class hierarchies are relatively flat (there are exceptions li

My university regularly put discarded books in a cart in front of the library with a money box, so you could just take a book and put one or two euros in the box. Among other things I got a copy of Benoit Mandelbrots "The fractal geome

The relevant market for them is smartphones and smartphone apps, and again, Apple doesn't have a monopoly there. Most markets have concentration effects and players that dominate the market to a certain degree, that doesn't automa

Apple doesn't have a similar position in any space though, or do they? In terms of market share they're not even the biggest player in the smartphone market, they sit below 20 % (the most profitable 20 % though). Google, in compar

If the kids are bright, send them to a school or an environment where they can live that out. I don't know about the US but in Germany the quality of schools varies dramatically both between regions and within. I loved computer science
