Quebec has a lot of empty land. But it does not have a lot of buildable land near plentiful power, super fast internet, and highly skilled technical workers, which are all things you need to build a datacenter.

Almost all of that was an increase in stock price. That's about as close as you can get to just sitting in a vault. If he were selling it and using the money for something else, that would be one thing, but he's really not using

That's honestly a bit dismissive. You might not like him because he's loud and "not an engineer", but you gotta give him credit for tripling their revenue under his watch.

This is true but a lot of the trouble in invalidation can be avoided by using smarter cache keys. For example, on reddit, fully rendered comments are cached, so that the renderer doesn't have to redo its work. But the cache key includ

If you have no cache, and your first thought is "this needs a cache", you're probably right. Chances are you need to optimize a query or storage pattern. But you're thinking like an engineer. It may be true that there

Commoditize the compliment. They know they need AI to make their products keep up with the industry. They don't want to be reliant on their competitors (Microsoft or Google) for that AI. They also don't want their competitors to

Usually the way it works is you get signing bonus with your first paycheck, and then you have to return a prorated amount if you leave before the first year. It's possible they negotiated something better, but unlikely. Amazon avoids

That was over a decade ago. There is almost an entire generation that has come up since then, being told China is good and British is bad. And in the meantime China made protesting illegal, and now rounds up and ships off anyone who prote

I've always been told that every wikipedia graph ends at Philosophy. But this tool says there is no path from Jello to Philosophy. I have to question its accuracy.

I worked for a company making GPU clouds. The biggest problem we had for deployments was not getting GPUs -- we had plenty of those sitting in warehouses. The biggest issue was finding data center space with sufficient power and cooling.

That's not at all what I said. I said I see it far more often in Americans than other cultures. And I have stepped out of my bubble many times. I've worked with a lot of people in a lot of countries. They agree with me.

Sure, at the highest levels you'll find these traits everywhere. But there is a reason these folks have ascended to the highest levels. What I'm saying is that you find it far more often in junior people in the USA.

It could be. But I worked at companies where we had full time employees all around the world, all of whom had full access to the same information the rest of us had. And I still saw this behavior generally. There were of course exception

Sure, and you can run an ad blocker too, but it's an arms race. Someone will figure out how to get around it and show you the ads anyway. And then someone will figure out how to make the LLM not do that. And so on and so on.

I think you are completely misreading this. No one is saying that it's ok if military service is a requirement. What we're saying is that if the military gets it first, that's ok, because it's a stepping stone to all of

Well, authoritarianisim does. They were able to do that because they don't believe in property rights or worker protections. So it's a tradeoff.

If getting right to repair passed requires justifying it via the military, I'm ok with that. I just hope they push to make it apply to civilians as well.
