All that private key nonsense falls in this bucket as well. What else is a private key than an attempt to guard your system behind a thin veil of "an obscure number I know and you don't" ? Classic security by obscurity.

dying in the line of duty is still weirdly seen as good leadership The captain being the last person off a sinking ship is a naval version of "lead from the front". The captain going down with the ship is a probable consequence

If AMD can be turned around, why can't Intel I’m sure they “can” be. That doesn’t mean it’s a simple matter to ensure it will happen. Misdiagnose the problem, trust the wrong leadership, or fail to secure sufficient financial backing

There's a lot we quietly take for granted. Supposedly the NPUs on phones were originally added to let the phone identify objects in your photo library. When shopping for phones, I tend to shop for better battery and camera... but I als

I've even calculated optimal dimensions for pergola-type awnings on my house, but I detest the condescension directed towards insulation. The author has apparently never sat next to an uninsulated southwest Denver wall baking in the su

Why do we find it acceptable to help... I think if the widely available help for alcoholics, smokers, or opioid addicts mainly mitigated the negative consequences - enabling them to drink, smoke, or dope more - it wouldn't be nearly

Counter argument: if we accept the military example as doing leadership/management well, you can say the same about their career track. Far as I can tell, there’s no “IC” track above Corporal, which has an average age of 21yo.

What are the odds of something like WWII though, compared to the odds it’s all spent by the second generation?

Colic is medical shorthand for “we have no idea”. Which inherently means there are many, many different & completely unrelated causes of colic.

That’s hard for me to wrap my head around. I have friends who want a second kid but worry about whether they could still pay their mortgage and buy food. No wealthy family is worrying about that. The cost of raising a kid might go up with i

They have 125,000 employees and 13B in revenue. TSMC, Nvidia, and AMD combined (fab, GPU, CPU) have around 88,000 employees on 710B in revenue. Intel may honestly have far more headcount than they need.

Taiwan might be a more appealing target if all of TSMC's output is located there.

I've always thought there's some geopolitical chess at here. The US can't abide being completely dependent on the island of Taiwan. So if TSMC wasn't willing to do this, the US might fund an alternative. This could leave

Espresso is a weird animal. In my experience, there’s basically “good espresso” and “bad espresso”. The fancy equipment mostly helps you make the good kind more frequently. Experts can critique your cup, but hitting the sweet spot of “good”

It’s not even about terribly special moments. Stitched together, those videos and Live Photos of even small moments help me remember what they were like then.

The voice assistants are too basic. As folks have said before, nobody trusts Alexa to place orders. But if Alexa was as competent as an intelligent & capable human secretary, you would never interact with Amazon.com again.

Bike construction is a key variable. My gravel bike is a smoother ride on crushed gravel than my hybrid or electric are on city streets.

You're a paramedic, so you have more training than I do. I was always taught CPR is a form of life support, and you have around three minutes from the time of arrest to begin CPR to prevent brain damage from hypoxia. So, why would seco

4WD mechanically interlocks the front and rear wheels (setting aside the front and rear differentials). You cannot use 4WD on clean pavement because of this; the front and rear may need to turn at different rates which 4WD doesn’t allow. It

One unconventional datapoint for reference - docs couldn't make sense of my apneas, have none of the normal risk factors. Eventually discovered it was a subtle oral food allergy.

The difference between nice and average gear in rock climbing is pretty slim. A few grams, smooth action on the moving parts... it's also primarily a failsafe, so it's inherently obvious that it won't help you climb dramatica

The only joy I have found in riding an extremely shitty bicycle is cackling with disbelief at how unbelievably shitty it is. Your maxim is probably more broadly applicable if you specify "serviceable gear".

x86 is the same way for programmers . All the renaming and so forth is completely hidden from the program. It is only detectable through performance differences.

The entries in this register file would be larger & slower, which means you will not be able to squeeze in as many. This reduces your performance. Also, the hardware to distribute any entry as the second source to any other entry is eff

In theory, a codebase is a language precisely describing a program. The same program can be described in other languages. So that’s what you’re asking the LLM to do, in the same way you can describe a flower in either English or Spanish.

For a naive newcomer - could you go line by line, wrap the whole thing in “unsafe”, compile to an identical binary, and then slowly peel away the “unsafe” while continuing to validate equivalence? That would at least get you to as much rust

I'm not saying smartphones are never a problem. However, look at old photos of the bus or subway in the USA or UK from decades ago. Passengers were not having social hour - they were minding their own business, reading a newspaper, lis

I would call that the difference between a small town and a city, which isn't new. You establish those ties because you see the same grocer regularly - there's only two grocers in town, after all. Meanwhile, in the city, you could

Vampire bats were named ex post facto. They are a New World species, and vampires as an idea predated discovery of the bat.
