While it's about a website and ostensibly could be considered technology related, to be fair it is mostly a political submission so all of the "No politics!" people will flag, and perhaps rightly so. But it will still exist o

In a few decades? Anyone remotely rational or educated is looking at what is happening in the US right now as unbelievable idiocy. Idiocracy was overly rosey, as at least there Camacho understood self-limitations and could defer to others.

The EV ventures of most automakers are massive money losers (just as it always has been for Tesla outside of selling green credits and subsidies). But for sure they all rushed to get there not because the EVs themselves were valuable, but b

They're using it as a major inducement to upgrade to AI Ultra. I mean, the image and video stuff is neat, but adds no value for the vast majority of AI subscribers, so right now this is the most notable benefit of paying 12x more. FWIW

I feel like Apple is some lazy target for people to point to why PWAs have little uptake. Android has long had PWA support. Almost no one uses it at all. In fact iOS users have long had significantly high web browser usage than their Androi

Sure, we have integers of many sizes, fixed point, and floating point, all of which are used in neural networks. Floating points are ideal when the scale of a value can vary tremendously, which is of obvious importance for gradient descent,

Small bit of pedantry: While there are 1 and 2-bit quantized types used in some aggressive schemes, they aren't floating point so it's inaccurate to preface them with FP. They are int types. The smallest real floating point type i
