To be honest, I think a lot of the justification here is just a difference in standard library and ease of use. I wouldn't consider there to be any notable effort in making thread build on target platforms in C relative to normal effor

I think you should look that up. I was even being conservative: Korea and China seems to be managing consistently around the 6 year time scale, while Japan has done it in less than four years from construction start till operation. Grante

Just to be pedantic: The median construction time is 7 years. With very slow planning, it is a decade, not decades. It can be done faster though. Our power consumption won't be going down, and it generally wouldn't be the AI compa

What your are describing is purchasing certificates from renewable energy vendors, which while technically a small investment (more money to the renewable energy vendor → renewable business growth → more renewable energy projects) has very

It's not the power demand that is the problem. It's that the majority of AI deployments are happening in a country which has a has had very poor renewable adoption and is now actively sabotaging renewable projects with an active

I think it's a bit more popular outside the US than you make it out to be. As an anecdote, I know a handful of people on it in Denmark - and that's despite the local Danish price being higher than the German one and Denmark having

I can't help but giggle slightly at the effort put into presenting not just the term, but also both the japanese and japanese-romanized forms, considering that it's just an entirely literal translation of a basic business strategy

It's just a name, but those franschises would likely consider it a real fight for prime real estate and customer base, each aiming to overtake the others.

You can absolutely be mad at a lawnmower that cut your foot off as there isn't any scenario where your feet should be at risk during normal operation of a regular lawnmower. Unless I intentionally try to insert my foot into the blade

> You are being facetious. I mean, do you actually believe that the JVM exists in a context where Java does not exist? What does the J in JVM stand for? Java runs on several things that are not the JVM. Android does not use JVM to run Ja

JVM does not know about Java, it knows about an IR that Java, Kotlin, Scala, Closure, Groovy, etc. all target. Java as a language also doesn't know about JVM, as it commonly targets things that are not the JVM, whether that is Dalvik

by arghwhat 9mo ago
I don't agree. First of all, Java isn't a platform. Kotlin and Java are both just languages, and Kotlin has explicit interoperability with Java exactly to make it easy for Java devs to "upgrade". The JVM is a common targ

I feel like this misses the point. Also, vision and image generation are entirely different things. Even for humans, with some people not being able to create images in their head despite having perfectly good vision. Understanding optics i

The pricing when I looked was similar. I went with a Lenovo last time because the Framework 16 hadn't quite matured, but premium anything is never going to make financial sense. Buying and repairing a framework is never going to be che

Yes but someone might also have silly opinions from having no experience how production assembly actually looks, such as underestimating just how different working with that is to working in high-level languages like C and why such language

by arghwhat 10mo ago
Java also targets an abstract machine model (JVM) - such statement really doesn't mean much. Assembly is not about corresponding to exactly which gates open when in the CPU. It's just the human writable form of whatever the CPU in

That's still one OS. Customization is mostly userspace "system" apps that they swap out and maintain, but reused across all their phones with some small variation. Hardware enablement will differ between models, but that&#x27

I can't speak for where you live of course, but they park in pedestrian areas where I live. It's the norm in many businesses for employees to drive their work vehicle home and park it where they live, so they're everywhere. N

Our regular local European vehicles are often larger, they're just safer. So no, nothing specific to the use of imported vehicles. For example, a Mercedes Sprinter in the standard long box configuration (as is used by local grocery d
