Note his "build a business on it" angle. It's not an open source problem. Greedy techbros want free support forever from the community while contributing almost nothing back. Same for large corporations. They see this as &quo

And it's not even a divisive story. Most of the left and right seem to agree on this one. Specially younger people. Ignore the media stories, their paychecks are written with corporate ad money. On the Internet people of all kinds seem

It would be interesting to have some highlighter over the titles to make it easier to scan. Could be some very simple AI in a browser extension. Maybe even have some color tags while there. Pretty simple. The extensions I've tried adde

When you can get fired by the board within 6 months, it matters. This could be a death blow gig for a competent career CEO.

The problem is most current systems are not designed for these new architectures. It's like distributed programming but in local silicon.

Preach. I gave up hoping on Intel after getting burned. I feel sorry for the good talent there and I hope they find a home somewhere better.

That was about drivers and in 2012. At the time Linux was not interesting for them as clients. But now with AI, Nvidia has open source drivers. https://www.phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-Transitions-OSS-KMD

I would argue there were many good things but not well delivered. The Optane persistent memory should've been revolutionary for databases but Intel just put it out and expected people to do all the software. I'm seeing the same th

There was a project to add flood prevention dams in the area but it was blocked for 20 years by the party in power. And it was from their own party's campaign promise. Also, the cleanup of existing dams and rivers was blocked due to en

There are systems to allow salmon to go over dams. From ladders to cannons. I hope they are right about this dam not needed for flood prevention. Spain just lost hundreds of people and suffered billions in damages because these kinds of pol
