There's a lot of software involved in GPUs, and NVIDIA's winning strategy has been that the software is great. They maintained a stable ecosystem across most of their consumer and workstation/server stack for many years befor

Probably just a more fine-grained permissions system. Like allowing location to be viewed if your phone hasn't been touched in a configured amount of time, or if you're on your regular route home from work, or maybe you're sp

That's not tough love, that's just dodging a topic you dislike by insinuating that anyone who disagrees must be mentally ill. Really just comes off as projection of your own insecurities.

PhD students are typically only paid by the university if they provide labor in the form of being a teaching assistant for undergrads, guiding lab sessions and grading assignments and exams. Alternatively they're paid through their adv

I think this varies a lot depending on the person and the relationship. When I was younger, I couldn't put up with ribbing at all. I always took it as bullying. I still think very negatively of some of the people I was "friends&qu

PhDs are probably the leanest degree for a research school to support. They don't attend classes after ~2 years, mostly operate independently besides consulting with their advisor, don't take anywhere near a professor's salar

Long term stability is pretty important and C/C++ has a pretty good record of that. A lot of the bad press is also for ideological reasons, not entirely practical ones. Finally, I think it's because the C/C++ manages to stay

When I lived in Iran as a foreigner almost 2 decades ago, it was common for foreigners to try to sneak a satellite TV box and receiver in their luggage. They'd arrange payment through someone in their original country, and obtain the d

I think the key point is they did it with a superconductor. My understanding is that while superconductors have zero resistance, there's still a limit to how much power you can dump into them before superconductivity breaks down.

This is the same ridiculous dynamic that keeps American manufacturing in the dump. People whine about wanting local manufacturing, then complain it doesn't pay enough, and then are surprised that the rest of the world doesn't pay

Why do you expect someone who hasn't yet become a citizen to say otherwise? My sister assimilated, got used to the idea that she would settle in the US and live like an American, then her green card application got rejected (something

What were those repercussions? Besides just being fired for not doing what their employer wanted (indicating complicity from the company rather than pressure from the government)?

What changed recently? Until the latest admins, most platforms didn't change their stance on what is and is not allowed all too much. I'm not trying to imply that dichotomy, just saying that simply banning nazis is not effective,

Robbery is a crime, so why should people take any measures to protect their things from being stolen? Murder is a crime, so why care about death threats? New age medicine has been around forever, yes. But the effects are only known to be ne

In cricket, yeah, the umpires can ask for the review themselves. Sometimes it isn't really clear, like, if the ball is caught very close to the boundary line, given the size of the field, it can be tricky for the umpire to tell if it w

Musk owned Twitter for years of the Biden admin, at least one year of that was him openly simping for Trump. So... what sort of threat was this, that suddenly disappeared when Musk bought it? How credible was the threat if Musk was able to

The 1st amendment doesn't prevent the government from making suggestions to private companies. They aren't allowed to coerce them into censoring things. So it still isn't a crime. What the Biden admin did was not acceptable,

They claim a 5% reduction in spread with cloth masks and a 12% reduction with surgical masks. I think 1 less case out of every 10 or 20 is pretty acceptable? Especially at the time when many countries were having their healthcare systems ov

The language they're using implies the Biden admin pressured them to censor (which, as pointed out, doesn't make sense because they were doing it before Biden too), rather than just admitting that they were complicit with the Bide

As the other reply mentions, that's where the "in your face" part comes in. Many of the diseases that can be prevented by vaccines are in living memory for those countries. On top of that, 'poorly educated' in those

The implication of saying they were "pressed" by the Biden admin (as they claim in the letter) is that Google was unwilling. I don't buy that. They were complicit and are now throwing the Biden admin under the bus because it

They're into folk medicine, but their anti-vax issues generally come from people who don't have any means of knowing better (i.e. never been to school, dropped out at a very early grade, isolated, not even literate). Typically jus
