Right now it’s unlimited*, where the * means that you’re not allowed to abuse it by doing things like Bitcoin mining. So far the model seems to be financially sustainable (they release quarterly financial statements).

Yeah, no. The difference between the WMDs and Xinjiang is that for one we only had the State Department’s word for it, and there was no evidence, while for the other there are numerous independent groups that have provided evidence, there a

The US is not the country actively committing genocide. It’s absolutely not a perfect country, but there’s no competition on which is more evil.

Imagine you’re watching a show, it’s really funny and you’re enjoying it. You’re streaming it, but you’d probably have paid a few dollars to rent it back in the Blockbuster days. You’re then told that the show was produced by an AI. Do you

Chess.com explicitly states in the report that that sort of methodology does “not meet our standard” for cheating detection. If they don’t feel comfortable using it, I certainly don’t.

They didn’t find any instances of cheating after August 2020. At that point his OTB ELO was only around 2450. It’s only after his last known instance of cheating that he improved into the truly great level.

Because of scale, an EV running off of coal-powered electricity is better for the environment than a gas powered car, not even taking into account emissions that aren’t carbon dioxide. That aside, there are a variety of electricity storage

Part of the difference with Java is that a lot of libraries haven’t changed in twenty years because they already work. Adding async/await would probably mean writing an entirely new library and scrapping the old already working code, w

On Zoom at least, switching accounts and signing out/in seems to do something different. If I’m logged in with Google SSO, and I want to switch to a different Google SSO, clicking “Switch Account” and then selecting Google doesn’t let

Sounds like an appropriate cost of doing business with data. If you don’t want to pay for it, collect less data.

Social security, unlike all the rest of the US Government welfare programs, draws from a separate trust. It currently has roughly $3 trillion in the trust. When you pay income tax, there’s a portion (usually noted on the paystub) that goes

In my experience, they’re simultaneously important for data science and very annoying to install and manage.

The keynote had a lengthy explanation of how you have to point the phone at a satellite for the feature to work. The phone directs you how to point it.

The low purchase amount is a supply issue, not a demand issue. I’ve talked to many people who want to buy an EV but can’t because all the dealers nearby have a waiting list of over a year long to buy one.

You can set both the seed and the number of inference steps when running StableDiffusion locally (or in Google CoLab). I assumed that they just set a seed and then generated the image at each inference step. With a decent GPU, it’s only goi

Apple allows ad-blocking filters that are basically Safari extensions but must be downloaded through a separate app. I can’t recommend any specific ad-blocked though. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/get-ext

I know some people “who can” who cared a lot about teaching and decided to be a teacher. I also know some people in industry who were on the edge of being a teacher but decided it didn’t pay enough. More pay absolutely would draw in the peo

More money will encourage more of “those who can” to switch to teaching, which will help to undermine the stereotype. There are already many “who can” who already teach, but they’re almost exclusively the ones who also intrinsically value t

Hm, that’s strange since they break down fine in my home compost bin. I wonder what’s the difference for them?

There’s a difference between the collapse of China and a slowdown in their pace of construction. The CCP is intentionally trying to decrease the amount of construction and housing developers in China have been running into issues with debt

My experience in tech has been that we’ve had a lot more positive social interaction online than in-person. In-person, everyone feels like they have to be productive for the full eight hours in the workplace, while working remotely people f

In a isolated VM? No way. Most people don’t know what a VM is. Hopefully most people wouldn’t plug a random USB into their computer, but I suspect that (# of people who would plug in a random USB) > (# of people who know about VMs)

They don’t mean the same thing, but the reason he’s giving for walking away (an estimate of the fraction of mDAUs that are bots) is not a valid reason under the contract. It would have to be a material statement (ie. affect the value by 25%

True, but they can’t cache a portion of the page that happens to be shared across every page on the website. If I go to a dozen different pages on the site, any in-http-page styles will be loaded a dozen times, while a separate style sheet

I personally started at age 8, back in the late 2000s. I had fun but it was perhaps a little too much for me. By age 10, it definitely clicked though.

Wikipedia references should include both the live url and the archive url, and then set the “dead” flag to either true or false to choose which url to link to. Probably either an automated process or an inattentive user falsely marked the u

If the auto manufacturers don’t want chips to be part of their core competencies, then they’ll probably need to go back to building cars like they did thirty years ago.

I think OP is saying that TSMC is saying “Okay auto manufacturers, we don’t want to manufacture chips that meet all of your requirements when we have so much order volume, so you’ll have to drop the requirements or find a different fab.” So

I don’t know how it actually went down, but since it’s open source software the Matrix integration could have been written by a random developer who doesn’t work for Mozilla.
