Apparently Son had a stake in Nvidia too which was sold off last year at a slight loss if you believe BI. Crazy. https://www.businessinsider.com/running-list-softbank-invest...

Since gas prices are on high side and highly regulated by the government in India, I don't think Reliance ever faced pressures the way other refiners in the world did with low/high oil prices. If anything high pump prices are just

If computers can help with spam, they can certainly help with other well-defined and well-audited types of illegal and misinformed content. It would be worse to not invest in more automation, even malpractice.

Do you know what community organizing is? How movements accomplish change? Everything does not have some easy optimization method, only in silicon valley does everyone think it does. edit: What I mean to say is, people have been organizing

Making hardware hasn't gotten any easier except at the edges where open source has taken a hold, but it seems like the only reason you'd want to design hardware anymore is to have more vertical control. Tesla, Apple, Google are al

RCV or any voting system isn't better than what the current prescription is for CVRA lawsuits: having districts. It enables more local elections, lower cost of campaigning, and more minority representation. Edit: It's also easier

Time for more corrections, I don't keep up with Apple stuff. The 855 has ~5-6MB of L1+L2+L3. The A12X/Z has ~18MB of L1+L2+System cache. That's ~2x the performance and ~3x the cache against the 855, and 10% worse performance

The 3700X CCX die has 8-core+36MB L2+L3 cache and is just 74mm2, the IO die has pcie4, ddr4, other IO and is 12nm 125mm2. For a total of 199mm2. If you want to compare cpu, graphics, video and nn, then the AMD 4800U die size is 156mm2, this

The Apple chip doesn't have all big cores and only 6 total cores in the A12, Intel or AMD (CCX) have 8 big cores with SMT. Apple's multithread performance is accordingly slower. Once you account for these two big omissions, you&#x

Apple's services businesses should be next. Anybody should be able to start an app store on any platform, and services like Apple TV+ shouldn't be bundled with hardware.

There is at least one way Google can get out of this mess: 1) Do serverless through standards and avoid vendor lock-in There's a huge opportunity for a cloud vendor who has a credible zero lock-in offering.

I got an email from Amazon saying the 3950X was back in stock, 25 mins later, it was all gone when I actually checked. AMD will need to provide some retail guidance for the holiday season, maybe widespread availability won't happen unt

I can't help but compare RTS to TBS more: Civ 2 came around the same time as SC, and the Civ series has kept growing in popularity. People are ok with the long feedback loop IMO ie. chess. The gameplay just needs to be fun and challeng

Letting them be promoted within a job would be a good start too. If reforms like this happened, the incentive for companies to abuse the system would go down. Setting up fake staffing companies would still be a problem, but catching immigra

I think Deepmind definitively showed the agents are learning high-level play, which was great to see. I didn't really pay attention to AlphaGo, but did skim the AlphaZero paper, and I'm not really left with any doubts about how go

You're an idiot if you think insulting someone is effective shaming or the only way to do so. As the CoC points out, you can reprimand a community member in any number of ways and keep track of it.

If you read what Linus said, nowhere did he conflate technical merit with social merit. Your comment very much does this. He specifically said there haven't been pain points around technical issues, but around process issues, which is
