From what you wrote you seem to tend to treat devs as human CPUs and not as intelligent people that might be much more capable than anyone in the management and who are naturally complex problem solvers (no offense, MBA is easier than under

The intuitive probability we have built-in in our brains doesn't match the mathematical concept of probability, leading to certain paradoxical outcomes that don't make sense in regular language but are perfectly normal for trained

They will never understand you as they think managers are the most important part with devs being just human CPUs for their "wonderful ideas".

Meta AI employees will privately tell you Google, Open AI and a bunch of others are much more advanced than them. For some reason Google can't capitalize on it and it can't be because "AI is not in their DNA"...

They already did the miniaturization with iPhone 14 Pro which is why I asked. I don't really need to go through a rationalization why this ugly hack is good for me.

I am talking mostly about replacing the ugly cut-off at the top with a "smaller hole" instead, not really caring about any software functionality from iPhones.

Do we know if Apple is getting rid of the notch for M3 macbooks in favor of the "dynamic island" solution from iPhone 14 Pro?

A move to chiplets would be just prolonging their terminal suffering if they didn't replicate Haswell in the first Ryzen chips, making them somewhat performance-competitive and due to chiplets also economically viable with the ability

Will HuggingFace get paid or is it alongside other AWS "partnerships" where the authors will get their product taken for free, forked and maintained by AWS?

Given Meta and Google are slowly turning into another Amazon (e.g. by an influx of Amazon managers bringing their "culture" with them) and Amazon is now paying competitive, I don't think that would be a big medium-term proble

I used to get the best ideas when I decided to do something completely different in the middle of a problem, e.g. walk/bike to a forest etc., allowed by WFH. Suddenly something clicked and I figured out the solution. However, most comp

It's weird how AMD managed to make RDNA 3 such a letdown given RDNA 2 fought with 3090/3090 Ti neck to neck in raster performance whereas 7900XTX is at the 4080 level. They use a much better node compared to RDNA 2 as well but are

Technically, it's not pattern matching. It's estimating conditional probabilities and sampling from them (and under the hood, building blocks like QKV attention aka probabilistic hashmap and the optimization used decide what it do

It would be great if PineBook allowed internal display input not just external display output to function both as a laptop and lapdock.

Nvidia took a risk and invented the whole "AI on GPU" industry. AMD and Intel ignored it until they saw big $ there and their strategy was to create an "open system" that would cause external pressure (from folks like yo

There was a startup in SF that tried to do that using iPhone video feeds as one walked around the room, but they went belly up recently and whatever tech they created was siphoned to another platform startup.

It looks to me like AirBnb has an equalizer effect on property rentals - I looked at prices at some remote places in Argentina before a trip to Andes and they were pretty much similar to US prices. There is a little benefit in using it now

That's why developments like PinePhone are important - just yesterday I played with booting 11 different Linux distros on it. The only limitation is battery life but I guess some backporting from Android should resolve that one as well

Wasn't that a package deal? "Buy all of it or we won't sell you anything!"-style? IIRC they were shopping only for some tech not those brands.

"babble in a confident manner" OK, so we figured out how to automate away management jerks. Isn't that a success?
