Funny how folks on this site can simultaneously claim that Twitter (Musk's only claim to "internet mogul-ship") is "dying" and that Musk somehow "controls" the Internet. Which is it, folks? You can't

There's a flaw in your reasoning: you did not consider that a lot of the projects at FANGS are completely unnecessary and exist only because these companies massively over-hire. Ideal working environment is when there are a lot of wort

5% is nothing. Any FANG could lose 30% at least and all metrics would only improve. People working there know this. There's an unbelievable amount of fat in these companies. The main issue is that often during these cuts it's not

Cruz might. Graham won't take the wind-down of the "forever wars" well, and will therefore be ostracized.

Not against businesses, but he did destroy several political dynasties by now: Romneys, Clintons, Bushes, some argue even Obama's minions are dead in the water. In Zuck's case there are plenty of 100% legitimate issues the Trump a

He has three hundred million reasons to "cozy up" to it. Trump believes (and not without evidence) that he lost in 2020 because of $300M+ Zuckerberg spent on electing Biden. Really difficult times could be ahead for Meta - Trump i

$30 is like five pens on that site, and that's if you get cheap ones. I don't even use pens often, and I still buy them from there.

I've been to London a couple of times over the past few years, and haven't seen anything "hydrogen" there. Maybe they just aren't marked. In China they're very easy find, and they're rather obviously hydro

Idk about how it is now, probably the same, but a few years back, at Microsoft hiring managers would need a VP permission to hire a straight white male candidate if their "diversity" quotas weren't yet met. I was a part of an

I saw quite a few hydrogen buses when I was in China. Idk what the Chinese think of their longer term viability, but they're there, and they work, at least in China. Maybe Japan (and the rest of the world) simply lacks the infrastructu

This is written by the same people who claim that 80% or whatever companies will use AI by 2030 etc. I hate to break it to you folks, but this shit is entirely made up, like much of the rest of the clickbait you read online. There's a

I'm running 123B parameter Mistral Large with no issues. Larger models will run, too, but slowly. I wish Ollama had support for speculative decoding.

Google, too: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/09/google-donates-1-million-to-... . Google's internal meme/activist site, Memegen, must be losing its mind right now.

You don't understand - that was the _minimal_ amount of damage typically inflicted in urban warfare of this intensity. Mariupol itself wasn't even carpet bombed because there were a lot of locals hiding in the basements. Nor was B

It's reasonable when the alternative is 2-4x4090 at $2.2K each (or 2xA6000 at 4.5K each) + server grade hardware to host them. Realistically, the vast majority of people should just buy a subscription or API access if they need to run

Do you really care? Open WebUI has excellent UI and features, and its complexity is well hidden, IMO.

Interesting that you show Mistral Large in your screenshots. That model is only licensed for "research" use. While it's not terribly clear how "research" is defined, selling a product with it featured is clearly not

The hypothetical war in Europe would not be fought the same way it is fought in Eastern Ukraine, where anywhere between 30-60% of inhabitants are ethnically Russian, depending on locale, and Russia goes out of its way to not just methodical

They are the same where it counts, at least in 2024. Starting multi trillion dollar wars with no exit plan, passing spending bills full of insane pork, borrowing $2T per year - those are widely "bipartisan" issues. On these issues

I know this form of procrastination and action avoidance. :-) Never in my life have I applied to more than 3 companies, and never in my life did I need (or receive, as a hiring manager) a cover letter. My CV was always quite sufficient. The

I'm having a hard time believing that "a few suitcases" of equipment would strain the generator of a large ship. There's also no way _three_ countries (one of which is a member of NATO, further straining credibility of t

That doesn't make this any less strange. For one thing _three_ Pantsir hits would definitely have downed the plane. If the plane was not shot at during the first two approaches, why would it be shot at during the third? It would be vis

My take is that even if AI qualitatively stops where it is right now, and only continues to get faster / more memory efficient, it already represents an unprecedented value add to human productivity. Most people just don't see it

by ein0p 2y ago
That'd be a first, if that's the case. To the best of my knowledge to date there haven't been any other cases where a civilian plane was hit by an AD missile and continued to fly. I can't find anything on Google either.

AD rocket, by design, inflicts catastrophic damage even on military aircraft that have far better survivability. Even 10K rounds per minute autocannon of the Pantsir would generate such a dense cloud of shrapnel it'd be difficult to mi

There's a lot of confusing info about that incident still. You typically do not get to fly for 2 hours after an AD hit (if that's what it was), nor can you actually make several attempts at landing. In this case there were several
