And the story above this one on HN “US government plans to develop AI that can unmask anonymous writers” This isn’t about individual liberties, it’s about centralizing enforcement at the federal level, where federal politicians can control

His goal was to expand Google into china [1], then he folded on that due to employee pushback. Similarly with all the other mini dramas (working with the military, "AI principles"). He may not even be wrong, the biggest risk to go

Whats stopping them just selling the excess chips to hyperscalers? They already force them to buy "Datacenter" chips (pure price discrimination). Why not cut them a license to sell the gaming chips in a cloud environment. There is

I think for any code thats meant to be read and maintained by someone else a regex is a bad idea. You are saving a few lines on the surface, but adding a potential backtracking bug in the future.

Exactly this (using bigquery but AWS for everything else) is pretty common. It takes a while to build a service like this, AWS spent too long in the wrong direction (redshift) and haven’t been able to catch up.

Because it’s the same hypocritical behavior from all rich people who push socialism (for thee but not for me). They will all whine about billionaires not paying their share and how we need to tax carbon to fix the planet. But given the chan

Rather than for scrapers I suspect this is for booking aggregators. Wizz and other low cost airlines try and avoid these aggregators as they charge huge commissions and can keep them by threatening to take away a chunk of bookings, Wizz eve

Maybe not. A lot of the lobbying from Ford/GM around electric car subsidies is based around the companies actually selling electric cars. The board & management may have that plan but until they can sell electric cars that a) exist
