The author casually mentions this but basically the main reason through history to build communities is the existence of kids, which he literally decided not to have. I'm the opposite, I don't like or want a social life, I live

I thought "The Data Scarcity Problem" from the article is very well known to us engineers? It's where the pulleys of a very sophisticated statistical machine start to show, and the claims about intelligence start to crumble.

Steam Deck. An awesome piece of hardware, a leap forward for Linux gaming, but as an early adopter I got the black screen of death (common issue) fairly soon. Tried everything to no avail. Now it's a very shinny and barely used brick.

I don't think the article implied that the client was for some sort of internal server-to-server communication, or that the Redis instance was directly exposed to the internet. So no, I don't think they run these clients themsel

If I understand the article correctly, any sufficiently capable attacker can: - Know the global state of your GPU cluster via the client. - Target the most struggling GPU instances specifically since the client decides which one to hit. You

Perl was aimed at intelligent people that considered obfuscated code challenges a sport and had a tendency for masochism. Its main achievement is being there first, before everyone else, to run server-side code in a scripting/interpret

This is a good take. I experienced the same. Except in most cases it isn't true. Yes, my best school/university years were when surrounded by people interested in studying. That was the optimal scenario, and everyone's reward

Yeah, I understand but it but I wasn't referring to performance only, mostly to "living room PC gaming" in a convenient package, almost like a home appliance. I really hope Steam can pull this off.

Oh, c'mon. I've been waiting for that machine for years. So much that I bought the Steam Deck out of frustration b/c it was so close . Two weeks ago I got tired and built a mini-ATX gaming PC with a RTX 5080. Way to go Steam

Pretty sure the profit margin for these bags is 10x at least. Way better (and simpler) that dealing with expensive computer/phone hardware and it supply chain, even if their pricing is ridiculously expensive. Marketing guys just know a

I don't disagree and that's factually correct. I'm not sure about calling someone who can spend $200 in an iPhone bag a victim, though. Plus that kind of wasteful consumerism is only seen in certain developed countries in the

Not a bad argument in an ideal world. In such trajectory science is meant to cross the information overload / false equivalence threshold, where the "hey, check this out" scenario won't scale and the cost of validating a

Science is very good. Pseudoscience like measuring cost to fix a bug in a classroom setting is bad. Specially if it literally does "cost" and "classroom" together. That's just a sad way to grab some more research fu

The article implies that somewhat, before AI the leetcode/brainteaser/behavioral interview process had somewhat acceptable results. The reality is that AI just blew up something that was a pile of garbage, and the result is exactl

The whole period of NoSQL was particularly sad one. A couple great things emerged from it (Redis etc al) but for the most part it as all smoke and mirrors. The worst was the amount of people wanting to be the next Ed Codd and being nowhere

I agree. The law was lobbied to death before it was passed. Thus, the lawmakers are the problem. The intent was nice, but the ask from the article is essentially asking browsers to implement uBlock Origin built-in and expect Google to just

Amazon has spent most of its HR post-pandemic efforts in: • Laying off top US engineering earners. • Aggressively mandating RTO so the senior technical personnel would be pushed to leave. • Other political ways ("Focus", "Bel

Second this. The article reads as a false dichotomy of choosing a "lesser evil" master while remaining a slave. Vote with your engagement (?)

You may be right about nostalgic reasons, but as a freshman during the emergence of microcontrollers, I've asked the same question to and old professor, in the sense of "why discrete digital electronics is still widely used?"

My take on this is that Fourier is easier to understand, has more immediate and relatable practical applications, and can be explained to "common folk" with just-enough sophistication and some tangible analogies (like the wool pic

Apples to oranges. You're not comparing big tech to "normal-size" tech (in the context of the original article), you're comparing tech companies with the biggest budgets in the world, with companies that aren't tech

Source? Big tech software is successful and runs at scale. I've got anecdotal experience in both worlds and no. Big tech software isn't faster (what you have is way more compute resources usually), and the claim about "less b
