60 cents per kWh? That’s shocking. Here in Oregon people complain about energy prices and my fully loaded cost (not the per kWh but including everything) is 19c. And I go over the limit for single family residential where I end up in a high

“I’d like 2 cheeseburgers, and 4 fries. No mayo or mustard. Actually make one of them a double, and one with bacon. Oh how much if I make the first a combo?” You think this conversation could be handled with the tech of 4 years ago? Siri ca

No one means a BlackBerry when they say smartphones. It implies a large screen that can consume content easily, and with a large data plan, neither of which existed until The iPhone. I never saw someone watch 2 hours of YouTube on a blackbe

This makes no sense. They ran the tests from a “neutral cloud provider”, as if someone is using AWS S3 to store their Azure and GCP data?? And they didn’t explain where exactly Tigris was running or how they controlled for the network laten

The private key isn’t a key in the “API KEY” sense, it’s a key in the “public/private key pair” sense. It’s not sent to github and there’s no way for them to know if the signing of the token used to make the call happened in a secure m

The cost of the processes for these alternative meats astronomically outweighs the cost of ingredients, especially the cell culturing. It is unlikely that any of these companies are even making profit at this point. This is a long play to g

GitHub Desktop is way better for reviewing diffs than the git cli. Everyone I’ve ever worked with who preferred cli tools also did an add and commit everything, and their PRs always have more errors overall that would be caught before even

Intel is more than just fabs. AMD spun off digital foundry forever ago and just uses TSMC, no reason Intel couldn’t do the same. At this point their fabs are a liability. They have a new leader who’s from a semiconductor manufacturing backg

The implication I got from the GP comment is that the U.S. would be reluctant to have CCP manufacturing the processors due to the (proven) risk that they’ll modify and backdoor stuff. If TSMC over invests in US factories then they could be

Rather than close or ignore PRs, you should start a dialogue with them. Teach them that the AI is not a person, and if they contribute buggy or low quality code, it’s their responsibility, not the AIs, and ultimately their job on the line.

Windows phones were incredible, the OS was the most responsive at the time by far. No apps though. They were building in Android app support when they pulled the plug.

I have no idea about this product category but am interested in learning more about FPGAs. What is the ballpark price point that something like this would be? Are we talking $100 or $1000?

Each job runs on a separate runner. If you want to pass data across, use artifacts to upload and then retrieve the specified file(s).

Can you explain this a bit more or link to something? I don’t really understand. What’s encrypted? A guid? A monotonic integer ID? Is the encrypted ID only used for user facing stuff? How is it decrypted? What do you gain by this?

They started selling FSD back in like 2017 and it was supposed to be self-driving ALL THE TIME by 2019. It’s 8 years later now and the best you’ve got is “upgrade the hardware to version 4 and you can make a 25 mile commute without disengag

Huh? 40 hr work weeks are a recent thing, many people in history worked 12 hr days 6 days a week. Technology and social progress definitely leads to fewer work hours.

Capitalism is an unthinking, unfeeling force. The writing is on the wall that AI is coming, and being altruistic about it doesn’t do jack to keep others from the land grab. Their thinking is, might as well join the rush and hope they’re one

The ultra only needs to be charged for like 45 mins every couple days. It’s nice for the “find my phone” button and for getting alerts when my phone is in my pocket.

What it means is in any given year, you have a 1 in 10,000 chance that a data loss event occurs. It doesn’t stack like that. If you had light bulbs that lasted 1,000 hrs on average, and you had 10k light bulbs, and turned them all on at onc

This is mostly an engineering problem I think. The new Dewalt DCBL777Y1 leaf blowers are so quiet that even on loud I can use it in my garage without feeling like it’s loud or my watch triggering a sound alert. With my gas leaf blower, even

Can you plant bushes or shrubs between you and the road? Also if you add a water feature between you and the road it would add more constant background noise which would raise the baseline that noises would have to exceed before you could h

Same. The suggestion that it’s like audiophiles totally missed the mark, because lots of audiophile claims do not stand up to double blind tests. I can guarantee that 60 vs 120 hz blind tests would be insanely easy to pass if there was wind

How is that comparable? On-package RAM is lower latency and higher bandwidth and also much more expensive than external DDR5 sticks.

My Mac only sleeps on closing if it’s not plugged in and connected to external monitors. That’s how I would want it to work. How are you wanting it to work? Closing it keeps it on no matter whether it’s plugged in or not?
