If you’re looking at this post and thinking to yourself “but.. why?” that means it’s currently functioning correctly.

How does the compute performance compare to 4090’s for these workloads? (I release it will be significantly lower, just try to get as much of a comparison as is possible).

Ironically I think this is the nail in the coffin. Pushing the whole company towards 18A as soon as possible made a lot of sense. Arc made a lot of sense (as it becomes competitive when you get to 18A). We’re not there yet. Sacking the CEO,

Wouldn’t be relevant here, as there are no CEOs anywhere who don’t take compensation. If they’d been taking their compensation as stock grants then they’d want that back instead.

I do appreciate all of what you’ve said but the author of this piece is actually mistaken. The browser isn’t actually processing the string “chucknorris” and forgiving incorrectly provided hex codes, which is a common misconception. What ac

I sort of get why this feels dishonest, but in the same way I’m not sure social media is something that users expect to be a reciprocal experience in 2024, save speaking to ones own immediate circles. Kids might believe that MrBeast is repl

It seems like an interesting project, but using Skia (or any canvas/GPU render) concerns me for a bunch of reasons, not unlike Flutter. Have you given consideration to indexing, accessibility and durability when working the problem? T

It could well become very popular, but using words like “magical” and “blazing fast” immediately triggers my framework fatigue. To say if it succeeds that it could obsolete all other frameworks is an incredibly bold claim. .NET already did

This. It seems very much like that bogus stat that HR departments were peddling 20 years ago about how they only hire the top X% of people because they reject (100-X)% applicants - it tells you nothing about the quality in the gap. These sy

This is the correct answer. People still don't realise just how much power over virtually every public company in America (and therefore the economy) is concentrated in the hands of a handful of people at Vanguard you've never he

I'm hearing mixed information about whether this even works on Windows (I've been told the Firefox version of the extension only works for macOS, not sure how correct this is).

Pardon me, but I’m rather suspicious that your grandpa never really said this.

The market seems to think this is great news. I disagree strongly here, but I can see why traders and potentially the board thought this was the right move. A lot of hate for Pat Gelsinger on Reddit and YouTube from armchair experts who do

The analogy I was going for was that the team is the public, the finance department is the corporations and state-owned fossil fuel companies, and the board are the governments involved in the COP. Admittedly it wasn’t a great analogy or pa

Inflation-adjusted I believe Rockefeller was worth more than $400b at the peak of his wealth. The Walton estate now is worth over $350b, but it’s not a fair comparison as it’s had much longer to compound. The other thing is that while Space

He’s so right though. They’re almost as poorly thought out as the RR Evoque. The visibility is bad, the clearance for entering and exiting in the rear seats is unnecessarily cramped, and it offers no more storage space than a Clio. It’s a c

I have a feeling Amazon is about to throw a big bag of money at you and that this will be the fastest acquisition in HN history. Congratulations on your successful launch!

This to me is the big risk here. A worm hidden in a game mod or something. I can see it staying in the wild for a long time too. How many of the people that are playing on these cards, or crypto mining, or doing LLM work, are really going t

I do tip, but is this perspective really helping the people that live off their tips? You don’t feel the need to tip the people stacking shelves at Walmart or the Amazon driver. In almost any other job we reasonably expect that someone’s co

Completely irrelevant, and it might just be me, but I really like Anthropic's understated branding. OpenAI's branding isn't exactly screaming in your face either, but for something that's generated as much public fear&#x

You're correct, but even then you've still the problem of storage - the torrents are only useful (and there's a lot of them) if a sustainable number of seeds remain available.

This isn't what I had in mind, but now that you've suggested it I would absolutely listen to this. In fact, I'm convinced having read it that this is where we're going good or bad (I can see a lot of YouTube gurus sugge
