I think the parent is implying there are 1001 soc out there with some form of embedded gpu that probably have issues actually implementing webgpu. Like those in millions of Chinese tablets. Are they likely targets? Probably not now but in 5

Some percentage of customers can’t leave if they want to. The ones who have laid off and cost cut to such a level they can no longer undertake projects to move to another virtualization environment. I’m at one such company. The staff we hav

I stopped saying this because no one remembers. Or the people I was talking to were to young. It’s way worse now than askjeeves ever was!

My theory is they store payment information on the mobile app. The app connects to the store wifi automatically, even when going through the drive thru. And processes the payment then. I theorized it so they don’t store credit card info on

This was the most surprising/disturbing/enlightening part of the post imo. Surpring; this person literally had no clue! Disturbing; this person literally had no clue? Enlightening; this person literally did not need a clue. My tak

This is a very nice write up of not only Ocaml but also gameboy emulator implementation. Great job and thank you to the author! As an aside I’ve always thought it would be awesome to create a single page app with an assembler editor and ass

I really hope someone sends a probe to catch Omaumau. When Starship is flying regularly it should be doable, just barely.

This is a nice bit of work. Does this mean we can expect there to be a lot of Qualcomm zero days incoming? Is it likely that state actors have been in this already and security researchers can now catch up?

If traditional large companies do give stock options they’re at the closing cost of the date of the award (strike price). Not the zero dollar purchase price of big tech, which makes the much less attractive and profitable. I was at an insur

A lady backed into my 99 civic in 2008, totaled it. The body work was more than the value of the car. I’d still be driving it if that hadn’t happened :sad-face.

If any of that were true, then the llm would be actively involved in advancing themselves, or assisting humans in a meaningful way in the endeavor, which they’re not so far as I can tell.

Indeed it’s hard to retire from the US military as an officer because there’s a big filter at Major. You generally need to reach LTC to make 20 years. Enlisting for four (or more) then going officer makes it easy to get 20 years and retire.
