that is the whole point of an index fund - they buy whatever is in the index so you can get exposure to the total market. The scandalous thing is that an IPO'd company is going to have a lot of volatility for weeks to months after it g

idk if you're comparing like-for-like here. I think on EC2, other customers can balloon up to fill your idle time because they're running on the same physical hardware. What this is talking about is renting hardware that is exclus

You don't even need to argue that you're better than the AI. The point is that the client could have uploaded it to ChatGPT too. Perhaps they even did, and they didn't like the answer they got. They are sending it to a human

The kloc fallacy never actually disappeared. Project and engineering managers got wise to the fact that it was only loosely correlated with shipping features, and stopped emphasizing it. Most everyone else has carried on silently believing

The problem is literacy. Even if you can read and write, that does not mean you can reduce a complicated idea into text. It also doesn't mean you can decode ambiguously worded and poorly structured writing. A meeting is often needed; n

Yes, lots of little web services and such run as unprivileged users, not root. I personally run a bunch of stuff as very restricted users in containers, with the threat model being that e.g. an RCE exploit in one of them will only affect th

probably because the shell on TempleOS is actually a HolyC REPL, and HolyC is JIT compiled.

Frankly, very few people should be taking either of these drugs. Sometimes I forget how often people pop these things, it's really crazy. Consider just having a headache and dealing with it.

a cop works for "the state," but he's definitely not a "state-level actor."

Until they talk about being able to remove Edge, they aren't serious.

If Microsoft leadership thinks that they took a wrong turn in the last few years, they are in for a rude awakening (I hope). They took a wrong turn in the late 90s. Probably earlier than that. They have managed to stave off all user feedbac

So the chefs are preparing food that has the same macros as ultraprocessed meals (I assume like tv dinners or something?) Why do they keep referring to the freshly-prepared food as "ultraprocessed"? “Is this processed or unp

I'd argue that those are actually very performance critical because if it takes 5 seconds to unlock your phone, you're going to get a new phone. The point is taken, though, that seemingly the performance is fine as it is for these

A ton of vector math applications these days are high dimensional vector spaces. A good example of that for arm would I guess be something like fingerprint or face id. Also, it doesn't just speed up vector math. Compilers these days wi

The entire quoted section in the middle adds nothing. It just keeps repeating the same things over and over, and it doesn't answer the question of how we know the offset at all. Makes me think his "friend" is an LLM.

I can make corn too. I go to the supermarket and hand them these little green pieces of paper, and then I have corn. Seriously, what does this prove? The AI isn't actually doing anything, it's just online shopping basically. You&#

You can actually act on the advertisements and coupons, though. And the companies who sent those offers to you are obligated to abide by them. This potentially would be like if you got a BOGO coupon in the mail and when you tried to redeem

Unused RAM is wasted. But used RAM is also wasted, sometimes. If I can accomplish the same thing with less RAM, that's better, because it lets me do other things at the same time. It doesn't mean I'm not going to use that R

The point of an IRB is to stop you from nonconsentually sterilizing people. As long as the system stops that from happening, I don't care about the paperwork. It's not my concern. The "ethical" issues with this study do

See another comment I made in this thread about GKH's response - the UMN group submitted a handful of small patches as part of this study, and "wasted" probably a handful of man hours or at worst a few man days of maintainer

I don't believe they revealed that they were hypocrite commits at the time of their acceptance, that was only revealed when the paper was put on a preprint server. But they did point out the problems to maintainers before the changes w
