Sounds great - but what is fundamentally different from the hit-and-run on-site engineering that companies like Accenture have been doing for decades?

We've removed/merged most of the unnecessary services. The ones left have operational needs to stay separate. The current hell is x years of undisciplined (in terms of perf and cost) new ORM code being deployed (SQLAlchemy). We do

Like 99.99% probability, sure. Greg's previous big feature was on Deepmind's AlphaGo, three years after its Google acquisition. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6700846/

Are you saying this movie production wasn't paid for by Google? If it was, surely he did?

It's official too. It's on: https://www.youtube.com/@googledeepmind Moderators: Please change the link; feels kind of unethical to bait someone into paying for this now.

The article refers to the German word Führer as "praise". Is that correct? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrer It is weird to use a non-English word like that though. Lots of connotations too, of course

It's okay to not be nationalistic all of the time. Airbus will survive this extreme edge case. None of these comments matter in the bigger picture.

Wintel laptops certainly are. I bet you would love the Mac Mini M4 though. (I've spent some time perusing your site during the numerous times it's been posted here.) Use MacOS Sequoia (15.x) for at least the next year though.

A software change that remedies solar radiation issues? Cool.

So the patch will be physical, I imagine. ("Apply this very expensive special tape from (e.g.) 3M here and here.")

Mac Mini M4 or Macbook Air M4 is not expensive. Just bought the latter (extensive rebates at the moment) to replace my Intel-based 2019 MPB. Wow! It's pretty much the perfect laptop, at that price. My primary complaint so far: The gree

In the 90s I used to sort of tease/banter our sysadmin guy at a small, developer-centric company in Europe (SunOS/Linux/etc-focused) in a friendly way with something like: "It seems to me like all the things you're

This is a major win! Basically: It's now (still) voluntary for services to implement scanning for CSAM material. Not mandatory. End-to-end encryption will continue to be legal. Source: Swedish national public service radio (Sveriges Ra

$2.7 billion deal. Saab is currently building two of these for Sweden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blekinge-class_submarine They are 100% purpose built for the Baltic sea.

Very quick rollout is crucial for this kind of service. On top of what you wrote, institutionalizing rollback by default if something catastrophically breaks should be the norm. Been there in those calls, begging to people in charge who per

I believe there's a semi-common sci-fi construct to send probes containing human brain dumps running on silicon to these far away star systems. Just hit pause until a week before arrival :).

I'm waiting for the Apple TV 4k 4th gen. I think it might might be one or two more years, on top of the now three years from 3rd gen (2022). AI/LLM companies will pay TSMC more than Apple is willing to further subsidize this neat

You didn't even bother to do the most basic amount of research on the specific situation before posting those links, did you? I don't understand how you think what is entially spam will bolster your cause. It's just plain rud

Yes. This. So, yeah, essentially fundamentally incompatible with the US economy. The US is going to have to heavily subsidize the payroll of tens of thousands of very accomplished EEs/etc to make this work. By doing that they will also

To be clear: the cause here is decades of mismanagement.
