Not to be a apologist of what Russia is doing (really really against the current invasion/occupation) but from what we've seen around social media, it's not clear that the actual soldiers on the ground understand that they ar

I am fairly certain that he is fully aware of the irony. However he's not in any position to criticize Russia because it will lead to immediate deportation.

This is part of Microsoft and OpenAI marketing/branding strategy. Similar wording was used during the acquisition when OpenAI used "pre-AGI" in their press release: > Instead, we intend to license some of our pre-AGI techn

That's fair (it's unfortunate that this is a repost from yesterday as I think my wording was more nuanced before), but that's not what the article says, they specifically call out that they chartered flights for the CIA to mo

There is something funny about all the comments saying "The best Dune game is the 1992 version" as if 30 years of improvements in computing couldn't translate to larger-scale events with more complex gameplay mechanics. Not s

Sure but that is still a significant departure from the article, torturing immigrants for just entering your country would be unheard of. Chartering a flight to move CIA captives to a black site is completely different (although still immor

Flamebait headline, the airline cooperated with the authorities by chartering flights to deport migrants. Amazon co-owns it because it uses the planes for air freight. I, for one, do not like this trend of overloading words with a "sof

imo our government is probably lawless enough, but I doubt that it is competent enough to pull something off like that. The CSIS pays bad wages, their employees are mostly there for the cushy 9 to 5.

That does not really matter as long as the default are somewhat sensible. As far as I can tell Black's are. gofmt is also opiniated. Someone somewhere picked the defaults and maybe I disagree with those defaults, but in the grand schem

I disagree on that though. By sticking to vanilla Black (no pun intended) you ensure that people joining your time will probably already be familiar with the style, you prevent strongly opinionated employees from pushing for changes in the

Quite right, I have not met a lot of people that were actually strongly opinionated about their coding style. They simply did not want to use a tribal one that was not well defined that just added friction to the development process.

Indeed, I don't like Black's style, but I prefer working in a Black codebase than one where everyone has their own preference. Having style guidelines in a team is also a great way to remove pointless debates when reviewing PRs.

The investment is to make the RISC-V CPUs in Intel foundries. It's actually quite in line with Intel's current strategy of opening their fabs to external CPU designers. As for the "threat" of RISC-V to Intel, I don'

I think this is a good move. The compensation structure of Amazon (max $160k, rest is RSUs) made sense when the company delivered stock value growth each year. It felt startup-esque. The issue is that the stock performance has been unimpres
