I have no idea who is underwriting your policies but this is absolutely not true with any carrier in the US that I've ever seen. Insurance pretty regularly covers being a dumbass.

The article opens with Salt Typhoon, an attack on telephone switch gear detected by MS. Are you suggesting that switch gear was created "so shitty" by MS? I feel that, in your rush to blame Microsoft, you might have skipped over

Oh for sure, I was posting in response to the OP concerned about open source supply chain attacks. I think your work here is great and makes loads of sense specifically because of security. I trust an open supply chain a lot more than I

In this space, it's the closed source firmware blobs that nobody can inspect that I'd be a lot more worried about.

I think their point isn't the number of people, but that a heavy weed smoker might maybe run through a few joints in a day while cigarette smokers might run through a couple dozen.

If the chip is getting the job done and it's a fixed-function device, why would one want to spec a more expensive, more power hungry solution in its place? I don't think "minimum required hardware" is a "strange req

Valve quite famously doesn't have managers and instead runs a "flat" org chart.

Wouldn’t be required. Take any frequency, Hydrogen in this case, and multiply it by pi which is unitless. The resulting frequency is pi times whatever you started with no matter how you count the passage of time.

Dark matter is a proposition put forward to explain observations. It’s not a result of pretty math, it’s the result of a lot of different observations which don’t align with the current math unless you stick something like dark matter into

The male part isn't necessarily the key here, the idea is that you put a softer alloy and/or any sprung contacts onto the wear side such that springs and contacts will wear on the replaceable bits. This is the key problem micro U

Even moreso in that you can buy them, today, commercially, for just over $20k. China is several years ahead of us in this space, like they are in most others involving manufacturing, and the gap is widening by the day.

Do you deliver packages in a tropical climate? If the answer is no, maybe you have a different use case than the people in the article. Being able to make it through the day might carry more significance for these users than being able to

I'm shocked that not one single article I've found mentioned this incredibly obvious fact. This has ALWAYS been the case and only a few select models ever offered the option to turn it off. This change puts all devices on equal

If someone downloads the open model, how does that create a spying tool for China?

The question of facts are clear and admitted by their executive leadership. That the Bush admin gave them a bunch of scary stories isn't relevant - they knew the NSA was illegally spying on all Americans and, under pressure from an ad

Journalists speak truth to power, meanwhile the NYT aligns itself with power at every opportunity. For example, they knew the NSA was spying on us but never ran the story to protect GW's chances at reelection. Presumably they didn&#x

Ship what? In Amazon's case, Alexa. The voice assistant market seems like a great place to leverage this tech but two of the three major services in this space (Apple, Google, and Amazon) have nothing to show and Google is only recen

They repeatedly claim (in the article) that the allegations are "old news". That isn't a denial.

But the author here worked with him directly for years, the article recounts several personal interactions that went weird. You haven't met him, neither have I, but the person we're talking about certainly has.

Item 1 is certainly the case here. Espressif licensed most of their original IP from tensilica, and this is completely normal for building a commercial microcontroller. If you don't have the in-house skill to build a complete WiFi ra

Where RL can play into post training there's something of an anti-moat. Maybe a "tow rope"? Let's say OAI releases some great new model. The moment it becomes available via API, everyone else can make use of that model

It does do the math itself, it creates the code to do so and then executes that code to get the answer.

You did however need to be taught math first, you needed to learn how to pick things up, read numbers, interact with buttons, understand that a device might have an on and off state, and a zillion other things. It took about 5 or 6 years o
