Reminds me of the old "MongoDB is Web Scale" series of comedy videos: https://youtu.be/bzkRVzciAZg Some friends and I still jokingly troll each other in the vein of these, interjecting with "When async progra

This is from 2019. It is a very short excerpt from a 2019 book, which is mentioned at the end, but oddly the link is not to the book itself: https://tylercowen.com/dd-product/big-business/ The two papers reference

From a corporate strategy perspective, cancel Arc or keep Arc, I can see it both ways. Intel has so many other GPU-adjacent products and they will doubtless be continuing most of them, even if they don't pursue Arc further: Jaguar Shor

Seconding this. Ruby Central is not a large organization by headcount, but in terms of impact, it is massive. Any person up to the task of leading an organization like this must know that drastic, public action involving long-term contribut

It is very hard to put any belief in the rumor mill surrounding Intel's discrete desktop GPUs. Already this year, there have been at least three "leaks" saying "It's canceled!", and every time, a counter-rumor

Do people normally not use oil with nonstick pans? I always use some regardless of pan because it crisps better and adds flavor.

I am frequently asked for hardware purchasing advice by family and friends. Starting around 2017 or 2018, if asked to recommend a "gaming" laptop, I have refused. I never had a good experience myself, and more often than not, what

This is my takeaway as well. Having brushed up against a few things like this, I assume there is more back-and-forth about reorganizing Tech Paladin than what is published. However, I am certainly not suggesting an escalatory exposé of comm

Same here. I used to have great success with PlayOnLinux, then it seems worked on it ceased 3-4 years ago? It was very duplicative, making a fresh Wine environment for each application, but for that cost it seemed to be less prone to issues

I appreciate the detailed explanations. I understand some of the basics, and this has given me some more routes to read up on and learn.

Here's my paraphrase of the best description for "seems reasonable" AI misinformation that I've yet seen. I wish I could credit where I first heard it: AI summaries are akin to generalist podcasts, or YouTube video essay

I am aware of that. I did a bad job phrasing my post, and it came off sounding more confident than I actually intended. I have two questions: (1) What are the expected consequences of a violation? (2) Why haven't any consequences occur

How many years has it been since Ubuntu started shipping ZFS, purportedly in violation of whatever legal fears the kernel team has? Four years? Five years? I obviously have nothing like inside knowledge, but I assume the reason there have n

Very informative. Much appreciated.

The way you phrase that, it sounds like these services are more advantageous to the bank, but possibly not to the account holder? If so, that goes against the tone of the article, where Mitchell implies (I think?) that he would have benefit

Thanks for answering! So there is some set of services that are useful specifically to a tech startup but not a restaurant, but then there are a category of services that "nobody" wants, neither restaurant nor startup. Do you have

Your answers are appreciated, but they beg further questions. Do you mind that I inquire further? >1: Chase's business account wasn't appropriate for a tech startup; nor was it appropriate for the amount of money Mitchell was

The fraud story is interesting, but something I had hoped would be addressed by the end of the post, wasn't. You wrote: >Someone out there is probably mentally screaming at me "you fool!" at this point. With hindsight, I

Wish her the best with this. Intel staying competitive in GPUs can only benefit the consumer. Those who want a mid-tier graphic card, without paying to compete with AI use cases, may not a huge group, but we do exist! Those who use desktop

Depends what you mean by "break". There have been backwards-incompatible changes, but as you say, very few since the 1.8.7 to 1.9.X jump. I can think of one meaningful breaking change going from 2.7 to 3.0, where the longtime beha

I remember! I stand corrected on the name and the issues! I forgot that name "fglrx", probably a mental self-defense mechanism. Those were some bad times, trying to get different display outputs to work at the same time, guessing

This is my issue! All these years later, I am still not used to it, and I accidentally trigger multi-tap nonsense that I didn't intend because I am trying to click with my thumb.

They were referencing a time, in the middle of the 2010's, when "amdgpu" was released. It is a completely rewritten, different driver, and is mostly open source [0]. Before that, the driver was named "radeon" and it

I agree with all of that, but I think there is additional nuance. I would love if the path were as simple as: (1) Make housing easier to build. (2) Receive sufficient housing supply. Even if you make it easier to build houses, there is a ma

It is difficult to balance the competing priorities of "home ownership is widely affordable" and "home prices must always go up". When the balance is not broadly possible, our system seems to favor "home prices must
