I know there are countless counter-examples but: - The "public" Internet, although since I used the word "deviant" people might not like me giving it as an example. - Social media in general, which again not necessarily

I have this (maybe wrong) opinion that Meta can't be the one to bring an actual VR/Metaverse project because they are too "on the radar" of medias. Adoption of new technologies is always done by more fringe members and t

A society cannot exist if any perceived slight and irrational thoughts are cause for change. Otherwise where is the line drawn? Do black coffee, black sabbath, yin and yang need to change as well? Maybe we can replace the word "black&q

That's a harsh take. FAIR (the Facebook AI research group) is a respected group in the field and they put out high quality research on a variety of topics. This would be like condemning research for AT&T/Bell Labs because the

Pretty sure it uses regular geo information as well because we travelled to France and immediately saw a bunch of French tiktok even though the SIM card was Canadian. It's actually a fun quirk, you visit a country and you get to see th

I think the article makes it clear that SpaceX does not care much about security here. It's more that they don't have (engineering) bandwidth to actually put something together and sell/support it. Focus is a very real thing

I actually really like the idea of guessing personality traits from how I write on the Internet. It's a fun novelty. Now the question is: do I get into Internet arguments with people that have a different/opposed primary theme? Co

It's used in a lot of small embedded devices. I'm in my twenties (for reference) and I've used them a lot of ESP8266, SIM900A, SIM7000 programming. It's non-ironically a very good system that "just works" most

How do you rationalize running for 37 hours while having hallucinations, I am legitimately curious. At what point do you say "I might be pushing myself too much"?

Can't speak about Meta, but my team at AWS does incentivize more complex longer-term projects. Improving metrics and getting short-term wins is pretty good if you want to get the L4 (entry) to L5 promotion, but you will most likely not

Here are several things that you can do (from more to less affordable): - Setup public IP updating. You server runs a daemon that updates the DNS record automatically. You can do that with NameCheap. ($) - You can pay 5$ to have a digital o

+1 to that. Nvidia isn't winning the AI accelerator race because it's making obviously superior products to AMD/Intel. It is winning because CUDA is easy to use and reason about. OpenCL's API is terrible to use and even

My understanding is that it's similar to a car, changing state (starting/stopping) is much more damaging that running the same thing, at the same temperature/voltage for extended period of time.

Bingo, Nvidia isn't making enough A100, A10G to fill demand from GCP/Azure/AWS. The idea that they are worried about their position in the gaming industry is off mark. What's happening is that with mining dying they know

I know there is a lot of negativity around mining nowadays, but I'd love to hear more about the challenges of running a large-scale operation.
