Everyone was trying to pretend the bottom of the market back in 2007 right up until they couldn't keep up the farce and everything collapsed. I believe that's what we have today. The economic indicators are all worse than they wer

Maybe they wanted to live together to save money (remember, the rest of their family isn't in the US), but that is irrelevant to the fact that they were paid way less than half the going rate in that city (I remember his stated salary

Producing AI papers isn't the job requirement for 99.9% of STEM jobs. I won't talk about other fields, but American devs (regardless of race) tend to be much more passionate about computer science and (perhaps as a result) tend to

There haven't been any meaningful attacks on H1b visa. When running for office, Trump said very clearly that H1b was good for his companies (saving money), but bad for the American people. Today, he's claiming that we need H1b bec

Stick around any corporation (especially one that is heavily regulated and has a revolving door with the government) and you'll hear all kinds of stories. I'd put this into that bucket of "someone I trust told me they heard t

JS has required proper tail calls (PTC) for a decade now. Safari's JavascriptCore and almost every implementation except v8/spidermonkey (and the now defunct chakra) have PTC. v8 had PTC, but removed it because they insisted it MU

There have been many demonstrations that F150, cybertruck, and others have short ranges when loaded and even shorter ranges when towing (I saw sub 40 miles on a full charge claimed by some people). If you use your truck as a truck, that’s s

CAS latency doesn't matter so much as ns of total random-access latency and the raw clockspeed of the individual RAM cells. If you are accessing the same cell repeatedly, RAM hasn't gotten faster in years (around DDR2 IIRC).

This is an assertion, but there’s no supporting evidence and many indicators you are incorrect. 50 years ago was 1975. It wasn’t the dark ages and the worst cases were already being moved to asylums for at least 150 years before that. Suici

Nobody would consider Chrome or Firefox to be immature or lacking polish because they have replaced entire compilers several times over the past few years? I don't have an exact count, but they probably do this every 3-5 years which pu

The solution for suicidal thoughts is a drug known to induce suicidal thoughts? You said elsewhere that there were "no known long-term side effects". Aside from that not being universally true for any drug I've ever personall

If you don't have a serious model for what you are treating, then you are experimenting on your patients and hoping it works for unknown reasons. Not too different from folk remedies. Even worse, patients are essentially never informed

You are half correct about 2^53-1 being used (around 9 quadrillion). It is the largest integer representable with 64-bit float. JS even includes a `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`. That said, these only get used in the rare cases where your number
