The rounded corners look ridiculous on this phone. They also cut off a non-trivial part of the displayed content now.

It did not solve Navier-Stokes. We still will need to use the bad old numeric methods to simulate the fluid behavior. But it did find a long-suspected smooth solution with a singularity.

Revenue is rarely taxed, usually only profit is. And it's easy to avoid it.

Yep. Look at 3rd Ave around Pine/Pike. > Sure, there are more homeless people than some other locations, but across the city they congregate near major bus lines and stops so it's no shock that they're near the major bus c

And to add a bit more context: there's a whole Glyphosate Griefing industry now that invents bullshit claims. Pretty much every time you see something like "glyphosate reacts with kidneys resulting in hard water staying around for

Yes, we are working with responsible VCs: endowments and large well-established companies in the field. It's as if the whole industry is suffering from a high fever. This is purely my personal vibe, perhaps others might chime in with t

It's not our first fundraise, and not our first startup. But something _is_ distinctly different this time. People are no longer willing to wait for years and are betting on nebulous claims in hopes of a huge payout. And I feel that th

Seattle and SF did the same. The streets are now horror shows. NYC is just an exception, because it has so much pre-concentrated urbanistic misery that adding a bit more is not noticeable.

I'm in a startup, and we are (somewhat lazily) trying to do Series A fundraising. We _are_ a company that has AI as a part of our app, but not an LLM company. The advice from our early investors was to basically overhype ourselves, tel

Why would the fees be bigger? The old brokerages had to do manual work to put the bid on the trading floor. Electronic trading doesn't need to go away. The trade itself might take some time instead of being functionally instant, but th

That's because CUDA had been better than alternatives for quite a while. But ROCm and MLX exist, and they are rapidly advancing. Google has its own chips, as does AWS. There are also no signs of NVidia colluding against other manufactu

It's not just the culture, it's the school system. Nerds are distrusted pretty much everywhere. But if you have a school system that rewards achievement in STEM disciplines, you get better outcomes in STEM disciplines (see: China,

Why would they be subjected to anti-trust? There's a robust competition from AMD and Intel, and NVidia is not using any obviously illegal competition tricks.

Let me put it this way: the US school system sucks. It produces great drama artists, athletes, and marketing specialists but not STEM professionals. You can see it here: https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=37

Why? C++ is horrible, but when you have thousands of developers, you can make it work.

Works for me? I clicked on a few games even. The only brokenness is misalignment of text on the tag cloud. I took a glance, and it has the content marked as scrollable with the min-height of 0, height of 20 and line-height of 24. I have no

I have YT premium and I subscribe to a bunch of creators. So they receive a portion of the subscription, depending on the number of views. NewPipe doesn't support it :(
