Speculation by a non-accountant: At the end Nvidia retains ownership of what are probably very low value assets. Contrast that with car leases: there is a robust market for used cars. Nvidia is in effect financing the GPUs by not requiring

The author of the article also wrote a CLI parser library for Typescript, called Optique. I really appreciate them including a "When Optique makes sense" section in the docs. It would be great if more projects did that. https:&#x

I've navigated burnout and some slightly toxic environments. I bailed on a job in 2022 when I was tired of it and the hiring market was still good. The hiring market turned and it took me a long time to get something new once I was rea

I think the author's ideas are likely too complex for a wide audience, but they could be a game changer for those who can handle that kind of complexity.

With SaaS you mostly give away the chance to benefit from the near zero marginal cost of software. The vendor probably shares the benefit of the marginal cost via lower prices, but at some scale of users and some price per user, the SaaS cu

It makes me wonder: Would an airline that drastically simplified its fares be more likely to appear in flight search results? Simplifying the fares would make it less computationally expensive and, in theory, could take fewer steps to answe

A very interesting dive into, as the title says, the computational complexity of air travel planning. Graph algorithms with lots of complexity added due to the wide variety of fare conditions that airlines have dreamt up over the years. The

What a great development. Commenters have noted various challenges that will need to be addressed but they seem largely solvable to me. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this as it moves from the lab to real applications.

Windows are terrible insulators. Adding more panes of glass improves their insulation ability, but it hasn't been practical to add many panes because it makes the window assembly very heavy and thick. The tough, thin glass developed fo
