This seems like a reasonable move even putting aside the reasoning about breaking the assumptions that make a subscription model cheaper than a pay-per-use model. Why would they actively subsidize the ticking timebomb? When OpenClaw has an

I think even experts like Eric are now being conservative on Starship because the program is genuinely in a tough spot. For most satellites/space stations, you need a proper payload deployment mechanism. The pez dispenser mechanism was

Agreed, this is the aspect of the AI criticism I find strange too. We should want to be targeted in how we use it, just as how a practical fusion reactor wouldn't replace solar in every situation. Not reject it outright. We should be u

I feel like part of it is the obsession with AI assistants a la Jarvis from Iron Man, but most people do not have the skills or need for an AI agent to support technical work, so they just end up trying to do mundane things that have alread

Just dealt with this last night with Claude repeatedly risking a full system crash by failing to ensure that the previous training run of a model ended before starting the next one. It's a pretty strange issue, makes me feel like the 1

This is fascinating to me because I just recently built something similar (as a test), not for improving AI, instead it's for tuning hyperparameters for a physics simulation. We've managed to optimize execution of the simulation e

Being able to run dx12 in a virtualized environment that's still under Windows (and thus not actually changing anything vs just developing only for windows) is going to lure undecided game developers how?

Brave just has adblock by default with an opt-in system for ads based on notifications. It isn't replacing the ads on the page. Not sure how you see that as racketeering, it's a completely different system.

You're a decade behind on consoles, 50k animated triangles haven't been an issue for years. Even early PS4 games had more triangles per character, in some cases more triangles simply for hair, let alone the rest of a character.

So, being rich and educated is bad because apparently you think they're acting like slaves, but being traditionalist is also bad?

Are these reviewers big enough in the industry for there to be any reason to assume they got a pre-tested vehicle? If not there's absolutely no indication that this failure suggests a higher overall failure rate.

I don't see why you're getting so defensive and making meaningless arguments when the entire point of the article is that the current arrangement isn't that great for consumers. Yes, they're well within their rights to b

I agree with the other response, well written entertainment would retain the viewer's attention consistently. I can binge 24 episodes of a well written show without looking at my phone at all, but something that doesn't require mu

I really enjoy complete pin drop silence, but when that isn't available (like when working at a computer that just can't be completely quiet) it's far more preferable to have some sort of conversation or music blocking out th

Add in how their humor generally doesn't amount to much more than bad faith descriptions of real world issues, senseless comparisons accompanied with a bad Photoshop and it's no wonder people use a second screen at the same time!

Or more accurately that they don't make enough from the EU to justify dealing with the GDPR mess.

There is a W5700 GPU but it was only made public about a month ago. I think they're still working on improving the base drivers for Navi so they haven't gotten to adding in proper support. Granted that I haven't really tried

I don't think that's necessarily true, most of us on HN were probably aware of it as an option for a while considering that the main audience of the site is fairly "tech crazed". I wouldn't necessarily take that to

Landings are not generally done like that though. A landing would be basically impossible without active guidance, due to it being a far more precise maneuver than in-orbit maneuvers.

by hgoel 7y ago
The unevenness of the gravitational field on Earth is for the most part ignorable. It isn't like maneuvers are precise enough that one could account for it in the calculations anyway. Space is empty enough and engines imprecise enough

That won't magically make it feasible to manufacture such precise objects in space anytime soon.

I find it funny that you don't realize that you just did the very thing you're accusing Americans of.

But someone who wants to contribute to the research doesn't just have this knowledge pop into their mind out of nowhere. They're going to learn it from somewhere and what's wrong with one more resource to help out with that.

Video games are never a great comparison for raw compute performance. AMD's GCN based architectures have all been very good at compute relative to their graphics performance (recall how it was nearly impossible to find an MSRP AMD GPU
