I disagree with the Chrome comment, but how about decoupling Mobile Safari upgrades from OS upgrades? It would be nice for all users to get access to these new APIs via a simple app update. This would allow developers to actually start usin

The author is concerned that LLMs confidently hallucinate false information, and also shares his confident hallucinations about how LLMs work.

Website is a bit flakey under load, but that's going so subside after today. I would recommend not YOLOing your money into multiple accounts today - rushed decisions are what got us here. If your immediate payroll issue is sorted, spen

Not urgent. With the government guaranteeing deposits, SVB might be the safest bank in America (at least for this week). I agree with others that you should be diversifying over the medium/long term, but I wouldn’t be racing to do that

The US has over $9tn of deposits and the entire FDIC insurance fund is only $121bn, which is less than the total assets of SVB alone. FDIC insurance can cover a few bank failures, but not dozens.

Would this still be true on a tiled rendering GPU, i.e. mobile? If not, is there any possibility that dividing a fullscreen quad into _more_ triangles would actually end up faster?

This is a seriously impressive project! Seeing all that text on one screen really puts the size of GPU memory in perspective in a way that texture data doesn’t.

Sort of like a bank, only better than a bank because, you know, banks always get knocked off. No-one knocks off Old Rishi.

In Japan it is quite common for an unrelated executive to be chosen as the successor, and they will then either marry a daughter of the CEO or even be adopted by him before taking over. This ensures that the company remains a “family busine

That might be a reasonable expectation if FTX only allowed deposits by accredited investors, but I don’t think “professional investors” were the target audience of their Super Bowl ads starring Tom Brady. https://youtu.be/uy

Tip: it's not an official grammar rule, but in colloquial terms, scare quotes [1] are often used to indicate that the speaker is being sarcastic or that the quoted thing isn't actually true. So a typical American reader might infe

It seems pretty straightforward to me from the perspective of the founder. Would you rather: A) Be worth $6.6bn and have control of your company, with people generally crediting the company's success with your leadership or B) Be worth

You're right! The only fair solution is to drop Grischuk in central Kyiv; if he survives the journey to Norway and arrives on time, he should be allowed to play.

In music (as opposed to apps), it’s not about a 30% cut, and more about a $10 _cap_ on monthly music spend by consumers. That $5-10 needs to be split across all the artists on the streaming platform in proportion to their streams. And consu
