Always happy to see new innovations, but isn't this solved by XA Transactions?

Groan, all abuse comes in the name of safety. Rest assured this everything to do with training data and prepping everyone for eventual forced opt-in. Anthropic really likes to put a show on about their ethics; then in a drop of a hat, nerfs

Anthropic intentionally degrading responses shows you they're also focusing on the wrong things. Rather than producing the best model possible, they're nerfing their models' capabilities.

Social Security such a Ponzi scheme. At least, proper reform should be elective. One can either pay in, or make it mandatory that part is invested privately. I'll pay in probably something like $250k-$500k in, and I'll doubt I&#x2

Handy for sure! In production though, I've moved completely to systemd isolation of apps, rather than Docker-like containers; essentially blackboxes and present a supply chain threat. There's also a DRY principle here. Verificatio

No duh. This isn't different than any other tech IPO in the last 15 years.

I’m so confused by conflicting headlines and studies. One set says gpus sit idle most of the time, then there are apparent capacity problems with Anthropic. So what’s the deal?

A new game: determine when you meet someone if they use tik-tok or not without asking them. People's opinions are groomed and programmed. It's pretty hilarious how small minded people are.

Because of absurd bike-shedding by soccer purists. Literally: just have a clock the counts down. That alone would reduce confusion but casual consumers who don’t understand the rules. This isn’t hard.

Sigh. Can these thieves figure out how much copper and gold is in Flock cameras?

by exabrial 4mo ago
Why are blue states, cities, and counties obsessed with surveillance? And things like red light cameras, speed cameras, and anything else they can get their grubby hands on?

NASDAQ, Toast, Apex Financial, Transunion, many others... Java is reliable, it's memory safe, it's mature, the tooling (IntelliJ and Eclipse) do not have competitors in other languages, the debugger is top notch, JFR is a lifeline

For MySQL: https://github.com/zendesk/maxwell We use this to clear application row-level caches in JPA. We didn't really need Kafka either, we stream it ActiveMQ with a customer producer. Works brilliantly

Hh I didn't consider that. Produce more shares, have Berkshire buy them up at a lower price than the public, in exchange for capital right now. Berkshire can sell them for a profit later or participate in earnings. And with their share

But why finance it at all if you have (I assume) the cash laying around? That seems a tad risky if the bet doesn't work out. Not nitpicking your answer, I just don't understand.

The big scam is that Equifax can hire a music major as their chief security officer (true story), settle for billions, and the litigating law firm will took 20.4% of the $380.5 million. Hilariously part of that settlement was they realistic

I like the command line interface. Invoke the actual binary, not yet some other tooling you have to install on your system (cough, npm) with dubious groups and permissions.

Question from an outsider: my perception is Google has lost $80b in excessive spending on teacups. I never thought I'd see them attempt to raise money, seems like they've always had an unlimited pile of it. Why is this necessary f

UEFI, display panels, wifi, storage controllers, etc would be what I'm worried about. I doubt Microsoft is going to make it easy.

Yeah, there is zero chance I'm ever running Windows ROFL. However, I'd jump from Mac in a Heartbeat if this supported Linux.
