I still insist on the higher bitrate stuff. I don't expect to notice the difference, I just think that music where the artists have bothered to prepare those files is probably recorded with more care than otherwise. I'm not genera

That is probably similar for companies that rely on Cloudflare in as widespread a manner as GitHub can be.

Being on Copilot means your employer lets you use it at work. It's essentially Copilot's primary value add in the new billing model.

I quit reddit cold turkey when they did the API stuff, purged my posts and deleted my accounts, have never been back.

I feel like this is an inverted interpretation? Transmission tech uses those methods because the math shows the desired properties. Linear algebra is used everywhere, orthogonalization, SVD, eigenvalues etc are valuable because the resultin

Oh, so that's what that building was!

I don't fully agree, you just need the Nauvis base to be able to build a ship to Vulcanus. All key ship parts are essentially free on Vulcanus, it's much better suited to being the base you scale up to get space-based logistics re

But is that also accounting for any regulatory pressure/investigations that might have otherwise hit those donors? Perhaps just the promise of not being prosecuted for their crimes if/when their scam collapses is sufficient ROI fo

Probably not worthwhile. If you just leave it in orbit you're going to have to track it and worry about debris/micrometeoroid strikes. The ideal would be to stick it in some permanently shadowed crater on the Moon, it'd be a

The requirements for a rocket to be allowed to fly nuclear material tend to be even more stringent than those for flying humans.

And then he betrayed all of that when he decided to IPO SpaceX and pivoted to space datacenters. Putting aside all the other things he's done over the past few years to betray his own stated ideals or plans.

Let me guess, you still think the worlds loneliest buffoon still gives a shit about settling Mars?

That just leads to a copyright system that favors big corpos even more than it does already.

We know from the graveyard of companies that reached orbit with their small rockets and ran out of funding before they got to be reliable, that reliably flying even a small rocket is pretty good.

That attitude is how you start building up more and more debris until an orbit is basically unusable.

Why would they need our permission to take it? They can grab the seeds from anywhere on the planet, and they can just watch any farmer and/or forest for a couple of years and see how it works. Of course this is putting aside any ideas

There is absolutely no reason for alien life to have evolved the same biological materials that we have. But also, a space faring species that can build an AI probe capable of remaining functioning for the many years an interstellar journey

As usual HN is being incredibly alarmist. Cameras are smaller and cheaper, you can even hide them behind the screen itself to make it harder to cover them up. We literally had selfie cameras in phones using under display cameras. Surveillan

I should've been clearer, I meant AI model. If you're referring to financial models, then yeah, that can be a reasonable direction.

It doesn't matter how much more superior the US's models are if international companies are worried that the US government may cut off access arbitrarily and without warning.

The challenge I think is that students then struggle because they used AI throughout the semester and didn't actually learn. The proper response would be to be strict and fail students that don't perform to a satisfactory level, b

Who needs allies when you can have a digital god to subjugate those allies into proper vassals? I know this is an insane statement, but I think much of current American foreign policy can be explained by the belief that their technology mak

China has no reason to do that. The US is freely handing them the international market for AI.

I've felt that AI has made this issue a lot less painful. I too have dabbled in hobby OSs a lot, but dropped them around getting drivers and the basic userspace setup, because implementing all the legacy interfaces just kills the fun a

It depends on the language but agreed. If I didn't have internet or AI access, I'd still be able to pull out manpages or dig into source code. I wouldn't like it and it'd be slower, but I still understand my environmen

I think they're just suggesting renting as a way to test that the hardware they're considering purchasing would actually be able to do what they need.

As a fellow EMR stylus enjoyer, which one do you prefer the most? The thin one in the phones tends to be too small to use comfortably and the one that comes with the Galaxy Book/tablets is decent (but the Galaxy Book has very inconsist

Those same landlords also control many of the levers that might cause their investment to be less profitable.

It's largely landlords causing trouble building housing where it's needed because it would limit how much they can make.
