"It's not genocide, it's just mass-scale war crimes" is a soulless pedantic argument that that convinces no one, and ignores numerous statements of intent from Israeli ministers, politicians, and military leaders.

I'm really happy to support the tiny YouTubers I like on ko-fi or Patreon. It's way more than the pennies per year they might make from my ad views.

If you have GERD or similar you should be on a PPI, not over-the-counter antacids. I can't imagine a doctor recommending that except for mild, occasional complaints. PPIs have their downsides, but they're the best available treatm

Injecting code into third-party DLLs is as sloppy as it gets. It's an awful hack.

GPT-4 is not solving logic problems, it's doing an extremely good job of generating text based on recognizing familiar patterns. If you give it something weird and unfamiliar, it will absolutely fail.

How'd you miss her as one of the New York high society characters that Trump was constantly having petty complaints about?

Nadella certainly knows how to be evasive like that, but "all of the rights to continue the innovation" seems like a pretty direct claim that they can just pick up where OpenAI left off without any significant setbacks. It's

I think the situation is changing every five minutes. Sam going to Microsoft is surely an offer that exists, but it may or may not actually happen.

Random low-level employees looking at stuff out of curiosity won't have the power or even the motive to act on that data. For higher-level people it really just isn't worth the risk, unless there's some incredibly valuable se

It'd be pretty silly to quit in this situation, unless you just absolutely loved and worshiped Sam. You wouldn't be acting on some moral principle. The only thing the board has really done wrong is not communicating their reasons

This seems to align with the stuff Kara Swisher was hearing, and suggests Sam was "not consistently candid" about product announcements or something similar.

It is not at all uncommon for people to staunchly defend their friends, even after they have done terrible things. I don't think this rules out anything.

"An AI researcher at Oxford" sounds pretty qualified!

This statement makes it sound like they're confused about why Sam was fired, but Sam's original tweet does not convey any hint of that. Compare: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1725631621511184771

"He lied to the board about what he was going to announce" would sort of make sense, but it's odd that Swisher isn't trying to connect the dots here.

UX can help a bit, but fundamentally the problem is people who have an issue or question but are completely unable to communicate it in a way that can be understood and addressed. The garbage bug reports I see on my projects and others are

There's a lot to criticize about Axios, but having high-profile connections is like the entire reason they exist. They don't make stuff up.

Yeah I think most of the speculation is way too mundane. Those factional disputes may exist, but it's clear that something big and serious happened to prompt a very sudden firing with that particular statement.

If you're a materialist, it surely is. I think it's extremely unlikely within our lifetimes. I don't think it will look anything remotely like current approaches to ML. But in a thousand years, will humanity understand the br

Wayland not working with NVIDIA is a massive deal-breaker. I've used Linux desktops on and off for the past 20 years, and it's incredibly frustrating how everything is perpetually in a state of semi-brokenness as they move on to t

With modern hardware and OSes the ideal answer is typically to run non-essential tasks exclusively on efficiency cores. So you leave the performance cores free to handle stuff that the user immediately cares about.

99% of people going to restaurants do not care about the ambience or over-the-top service. I have absolutely had the experience of an inexpensive local seafood restaurant on Long Island making much better food than an upscale place in Manha

I've found that Bard has an overly aggressive filter, like if I'm brainstorming ideas about thieves in a fantasy world (think Lies of Locke Lamora), it will frequently refuse to cooperate. I think it's running some kind of

Bitcoin specifically is notoriously awful for this purpose, and has been for many years, because of slow transactions with high fees. But even setting those aside, what's the actual point? Why does a normal person care about making onl

Yeah the defense had no alternative story to offer. Before the trial they sort of hinted that Caroline Ellison was responsible for all the fraud, but they never really made that case in court, presumably because the facts didn't exist.

There's no realistic grounds for appeal, probably not even in a country with a more lenient system for appealing criminal convictions. In America, forget it. He's been convicted, he's gonna stay in jail.

> maybe it's thermal throttling The GPU is a very large fraction of the thermal output these SoCs are engineered to handle, so there really shouldn't be any throttling if you're only loading the CPU.

The A17 Pro benchmarks are extremely disappointing, so I don't think 3nm is actually doing much.

It's only been 3 years since the M1, most people aren't buying new computers that frequently. Windows for ARM runs well on Apple Silicon, and has its own translation layer for x86 software. It should be fine unless you need specif
