Every time I drive by the huge shiny new Intuit building on 101 near Google, I throw up a little. Regulatory capture in action.

Once Biden waited so long to fact reality and drop out, there was no time for a proper primary. The mistake was not really the handing of it to Harris, it was dropping out so late that there wasn’t really any better option.

There is precisely one way in which the will of the American people is measured. When we talk about "what America wants", it doesn't include the opinion of people who didn't show up in November. People who choose not

Ronald Reagan was obviously a RINO. /s But in all seriousness, my bewilderment isn't so much that Reagan's stance against Russia was discarded (parties change over time, as well as the relationship between nations), but that

It's what America wanted. I've decided to stop caring. It's all a joke now. We'll try again in 44 months.

It should have been obvious this was achievable once you realize that a monad is merely a monoid in the category of endofunctors!

Most people would agree that Mengelberg‘s 1984 paper clearly answers that question … of course, we all know that his language is famously hard to parse!

Ah yes, Jobs saw the mouse and windows UI at PARC in 1979, and therefore nothing they ever did was original and they deserve no credit for innovation. :thumbsup:

He didn't get hit by a bus, though. He led the company for decades. Surely you've heard how opinionated and domineering Jobs was? Every strategic decision and major product decision was either from him or went through him.

You seem to miss the point. Twitter was an imperfect yet functional website before Elon. Elon fired most of the staff. Twitter then continued to be an imperfect yet functional website. Hell, I remember ten years of HN saying "WTF doe

Steve Jobs is one of the founders and the long-time CEO of Apple Computers, which makes products that are widely regarded as some of the most innovative in tech. If you're familiar with the original Mac, for example -- that was Apple.

by khazhoux 2y ago
Are you suggesting Apple was not innovative, or that he did not have a role in Apple's innovation? We can pretend all day that the Apple II, the Mac, iMac, macbook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad would have been exactly the same without Jobs

Why do you say that? Was his refusal of cancer treatment more impactful on the world than his creation of Apple Computers?

Are there any metrics to show 18F or USDS are strong successes? My impression has always been that it is a well-intended but low-impact effort.

I'm still seeking an answer to what DeepSeek really is , especially in the context of their $5M versus ChatGPT's >$1B (source: internet). What did they do versus not do?
444.
by khazhoux 2y ago
What I still don’t understand is how one slurps out an entire model (closed source) though. Does the deepseek paper actually say what model it’s trained off of, or do they claim the entire thing is from scratch?

I have a bunch of questions, would love for anyone to explain these basics: * The $5M DeepSeek-R1 (and now this cheap $6 R1) are both based on very expensive oracles (if we believe DeepSeek-R1 queried OpenAI's model). If these are im

Sure. But today's right-wing assumes, a priori, that any minority or female professional must have been a product of "representation" and not actually qualified.

I didn't mean "do what they want" as in ignoring law. I meant "do what they want" as in: the winning party gets to choose the policy. The winning party can ignore the will of the losing party.

From what I'm seeing, this program started in 2014 and was killed in 2016. Seems like this is dredging up an old issue to boost today's culture-war narrative.

I think you're misrepresenting. His side won, and now they get to do what they want. It's always that way, no? Like, isn't that the point of an election?
