They have to keep their head down for fear it will get cut off (figuratively speaking, mostly). I doubt the majority of Chinese civilians are happy to be in a repressed state such as the one they're in. And unfortunately it's pret

I appreciate the breakdown. But practically speaking, does it really matter? The goal of language is to communicate, and in this case we all understand what the author is referring to when they reference "RAW". It's like chas

It would be bad in that it makes employees' stock less liquid. Stock-based compensation is a huge part of many employees' comp packages. I think a small subset of people might adopt a short-term approach to equity ownership. I thi

Out of curiosity what carrier are you using? Pulled the thread on this a bit and it seems that it will be highly carrier-dependent and will likely be flakey if it works at all. TTL is one of the simplest methods carriers use to detect if th

I agree with the sentiment. Experimental culture is inherently risky though, and risk is not something you want too much of as a public company as your shareholders can and will be very loud. They do still experiment but in their R&D di

I doubt that very many (if any) companies do this. I don't see how this would benefit them. Why do you care what's out there if you may not be hiring for months/years down the line when the landscape may have changed dramatic

I'd guess that this is in large part due to the sheer amount of datacenters they plan to bring online in the coming years and the fact that they can't scale up green energy quickly enough to meet the expected demand. In an ideal w

It's hard to get that in a single camera because of the size. If you consider the size of professional grade camera lenses there's a reason why they produce much better images. But conversely it's pretty impressive what phone

China has actually been leading the charge in terms of green energy lately, at least in terms of making solar power equipment more accessible by way of driving down cost. I have no idea however if they're just exporting this to other c

I don't know that there would be a huge overlap between the people who would fall for this type of marketing and the people who want to run LLMs locally. There definitely are some who fit into this category, but if they're buying

What are your specs? That does seem to fit the bill though of being more of a niche use case for which MBPs will be best suited for going forward. Seems like most devs who are not on rust/c++ projects will be just fine with an Air equi

Out of curiosity, what are some good use cases for a MBP now with the MBAs being so powerful? I can think of things like 4K video editing or 3D rendering but as a software engineer is there anything we really need to spend the extra money o
