4o is pretty bad in my experience. They shouldn't have used the "4.0" naming for it or said its Lite or something. Instead they are trying to market it as roughly equivalent which it definitely is not.

I was into it in the 90s, it was really fun to build your system. You'd dream of how much better it would be with a 3-way crossover or even just that equalizer and it did make a big difference sometimes. Tighter integration killed it

Healthcare has a cartel restricting supply of new doctors, and new hospitals. Only a small number of new doctors can intern each year ensuring the relative supply decreases vs population. The same for hospitals - even if you have the mone

Just buy a lab unit from CDW. The American website annoyingly has a "call us" for pricing but a PA-440 is $979 CAD for comparison. https://www.cdw.ca/product/palo-pa-440-security-appliance-la...

All I see everywhere is autogenerated docs with function prototypes I could have just looked at in the code. Nobody is explaining the "why" anymore.

Cisco was a very similar situation actually. Lots of "routers" out there (way more than other brands making GPUs), but the cisco stuff just "worked" in corporate environments and had the best interop with the rest of th

Windows has been rudderless since Sinofsky lost the power struggle and retired. It was true the rest of the company needed to be freed from the tyranny of the windows org but we threw the baby out with the bathwater, and since then windows

Having been a victim of win RT and other "modern" windows APIs the simple truth is the old stuff actually works and the new stuff is crap and gets deprecated after nobody adopts it.

The USSR had the same strategy. It didn't work back then because the goal posts moved faster than they could march toward them.

Its not possible for the IRS to auto create a return for you from your bank statements full stop. The idea is flawed. Surveys show as much as half of workers make money outside normal employment so this is not some obscure side effect but t

Banks don't report every transaction and even if they did it may not be "income". E.g. moving money from one account to another is a transaction but no income was earned and it is not taxable.

I pay $1 to buy an apple and eat it. It is gone and tomorrow I will have no Apples unless I buy more. Instead I buy (invest in) an apple tree and now I have apples continuously. The difference is the spending for a one time use vs productio

Defalation has more risk of feedback spirals, it heavily incentives you to wait to invest as tomorrow it will be cheaper than today. This is why small positive inflation rates are preferred. You could target 0% but in practice you will os

When comparing to .com the fortunes of Cisco, Sun, and 3COM are really the comparables to Nvidia. Their hardware got commoditized and their valuations went back to reality. Cisco still has not hit their .com peak 25 years later.

Don't get married to a project. If you don't get traction you should do something else. Business is ultimately about serving customers not about building the thing you want to build. If the customers won't buy it then its

For inference the common answer will be "no", you use the model you get and it takes a constant time to process. However the truth is that inference platforms do take shortcuts that affect accuracy. E.g. LLama.cpp will down conve

The old Microsoft wasn't so myopic which resulted in not one but two of the biggest software dynasties with windows and office and in more recent times Azure. You can't get a winner if you leave the game early.
