I mean also, AI is still just a "confident idiot". Even the latest iteration of models are wrong more than half the time.

I was out there for a rock climbing trip a few weeks ago (didn't manage to set a foot inside a casino). The taxes on nearly everything are also exorbitant, on top of the inflated prices for everything in the city. We won't be goin

I'm convinced this was a psyop actually, with the intent of delaying other country's 5th gen programs or development of quantum radars. It definitely had some cost overruns but I think its performance as a fighter is pretty impres

Why in 2025 can we not ship a statically typed high performance language for browsers?

Precisely why we do: * No Mail Mondays. Engineers are deep in the code and are not disturbed other than the on-call. Engineers are expected to have a stack of work they can make the progress on if they get stuck. These days are in-office. *

We dodged a huge bullet in the US with this. We already pay _excessive_ amounts of federal income tax for extreme inefficiency, the vast majority of it simply being funneled into the pockets of the ultra wealthy.

The problem is there's so much momentum behind it that's hard to course correct. PyTorch is now a goliath.

Ironically, the downvotes pretty much prove this is exactly correct.

The biggest reason is developer ego. Devs see their code as artwork an extension of themselves, so it's really hard to have critical conversations about small things and they erupt into holy wars. Off hand: * Formatting * Style * Conve

An operating system ran by an advertiser is the worse thing you could ever run. Chromebooks were awesome because they were impossible to screw up. Then the advertising department rammed itself in there.

The problem is one-offs don't make steady, predictable, recurring revenue. Owning a consulting business is hard: you have to have customers waiting.

I mean I feel like once one of the ARM chipmakers can lend a hand on the software side it should be a landslide. Google and Samsung managed to make very successful Chromebooks together, but IIRC there was a bunch of back and forth to make t

Incredible the government was more concerned about maintaining its power than helping people. Just like today's Federal Reserve. Fascinating.

How on earth does it cost this much?? This could be done for like $5k/month on even the most expensive of AWS setups if you weren't pinching pennies.

Not at all. I'm using industry standard definitions. To be clear, the US does not have an operational hypersonic either. A ballistic weapon follows a somewhat parabolic trajectory. It goes way up, often into outer space, then it falls

I think you misread my comment. Maneuvering ballistic missiles are nothing new and have been around since the 70s.

The Java version looks pretty danged cool paging through the some of the code. I was trying to think of a use case for this and I was reminded of a Sun Microsystems demo (yes I'm that old) I saw. The paused a JVM and "slept"

Eating less, exercising more, has worked for the entire existence of human race. In fact, it worked for me just fine too. GLP-1s are a safe and proven tool and should be used wherever appropriate to assist people. Both of these are simple f

No, it should not. SHOULD a person do it? Yes. SHOULD they be forced to do it or go to the Gulag? No. Save jail for violent criminals, not this white collar BS.

Every union I've been a part of has been more of a pain than its worth, or has tried to keep individuals from become any more successful that others. I don't understand the obsession with them on HN.
