They have an amazing track record for this as well. I buy m2 processors because I know they're great. I don't even bother trying to figure out a comparison to Intel chips any more. I've done semiconductor research and used

Higher kinded types always remind me of regex. People think “I know, I’ll use HKT to solve this problem”. Now they have two problems. These techniques can be way overkill for someone until they are dealing with an overwhelming amount of t

Just using this post as a self righteous dunk on developers trying to cash in on "Open" AI when it is in fact not open, including OpenAI itself.

The problem with steel threads is that they take only a single path through a series of components. Rather than building something robust, you're more or less wearing a rut through the implementation strategy for a single service, and

Can this be set up to yield data from individual functions instead of simply returning it?

There's a bit more context to the story. The author and the company had a discussion over a reverse engineering claim as well : https://github.com/UlyssesWu/D2Evil/issues/1 I have to admit I'm some

Simple blue light LEDs created a residue on the surface of the lens like a cataract and kept them from being useful in panels and individual lights. The “invention” of the blue led was really just a slightly convoluted way of keeping the l

Nah, it’s seriously ancient. I might get into again here now that google search is hitting the skids.

I did a version of this waaaaay back in the day. Naturally since Google was sooo cool back then I called it Google Goggles. Now of course they're not as warm and fuzzy.

You have to be crazy to think awareness requires wetware. Silicon is going to zip past every possible measure of it in the next 5 years.

These exercises are always half BS and half valuable insight that you can't even get from years of experience. It gets very hard to tell which is which though.

One problem with NFTs is that it's harder for them to be stolen. And once lost, they can never be recovered.

You can remove those if you want. It's a bit cringe to deal with, but I'm not going to call it a line that should never be crossed.

That's the wrong take, and here's why. Interdependent trade doesn't promote peace as much as it discourages outright war. Russia is beating on Ukraine, but it has crossed a field of knives to do it, and will bleed out very

CyberPunk 2077 hits different if you live in Seattle. I'm not saying Seattle is as bad as a dystopian video game, but more of a point on the same line.

Files have some drawbacks... they're difficult for multiple people to work on together (slides). They're often not easy to organize, and they're often not available where you want them.

Ted Chiang has another interesting take on this, namely that perfect memory is often undesirable, and that the past often is molded to fit narratives about the present. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truth_of_Fact,

It's hard to see how North Korea is taken seriously by anyone these days.

Probably will be a go-to for fixing up old buildings and failing bridges. We always can use more tools there. On the other hand, I wonder what kinds of hoops one has to jump through to demolish/recycle this material.

Queens are notable because they had immense power... and knew the score with gender bias and had the means to change minute details of the subjects' lives. However, they rarely changed cultural norms WRT gender. I'm thinking mai

Yeah I was thinking of gigantic industrial/factory floor surfaces, some types of malls, and/or large theme parks. I think the first successful fully autonomous driving platform will probably have this wheel/frame style as a

Great ideas are great often due to a combination of a strong value proposition and a lack of competition, which you (eventually) cannot control for. Execution is the only thing firmly in your wheelhouse over the long run. VCs and other in

Every time I'm doing a lift and shift, I'm glad I don't have to move an OS around on different chip architectures, maintaining performance speed. PowerPc to Intel, and now Intel to Arm. That's nuts.
