Apple's hardware tax funds their R&D, which is why Apple develops stuff like the M2 ultra when the Intel and Linux OEMs sit around waiting for Intel or Qualcomm to shit out some useless chip that's undifferentiated.

Democracy is essentially mob rule. It's great when the mob is doing what you want, not so great when it isn't. Currently most Western democracies are designed to protect minority rights against the majority because of this. In fac

So is the corollary to this "less intelligent brains take less time to come up with solutions that don't work?"

There's no difference between an art student looking through a museum or archives for ideas and an AI using the material for training. Same could be said for reading. A medical student reading through textbooks or a writer who reads is

To be fair, I did this with SOAP/XML for one project. 99.999% of the time the messages are exactly the same except for the payload, and nobody cares about the other .001%. If it's parametrizable why bother with completely dynamic

The question was "what is a wetland?" All justices agreed that the property wasn't a wetland. There was no consensus on what a wetland actually was. The property in question was hundreds of feet from a lake, with a row of hou

People don't like this, but it does change the calculus in Russia somewhat. It should make the Russians and their allies doubt their capabilities even more than they do now. If the strategic forces doubt they will work will they still

From what I understand the big problem with making an atomic bomb is making sure it goes off when you want it to. All the jawboning about efficiency and engineering is nice, but irrelevant given the above problem.

Animals love meat too, so it's not just a human thing. Many of them will prefer meat as well. otoh, not many people believe vegetables are delicious. That preference should be stronger, from an evolutionary perspective, since it's

Jenkins is one of those things you configure and forget about...until you need to do it again. Over time, there's so much stuff that it does that replacing it is a ton of work. And by work I mean verification and communication. Many de

Until there is a politically stable alternative, the Dollar will rule. Nobody trusts China, even the Chinese. The Euro? Only a few years ago pundits were proclaiming its death. The Pound? Nope. The US is willing to go to incredible lengths

From what I understand a large number of video people are wedding/event people...which makes sense, because there aren't that many TV shows. While I doubt they'll be editing on-site, now they can with their IPP instead of the

IMO serverless is incredibly useful when latency isn't important. Backend stuff, metrics, analytics, APIs, etc should be serverless. It allows you to scale incredibly easily at basically 0 cost. For everything else, you have to test an

The Roma have been trying to claim lineage with Rome for a very long time, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who is aware of the Roma. Apparently if they say it loud enough and often enough it becomes true. After all, they are no

In the grand scheme of things, places like 4chan have to exist because humanity needs it. If you want the real sewer look at the WaPo and NYT comment sections. There's more hate on their than on 4chan...though it's directed at rig

I worked with an ex-DEC guy up in Nashua NH, and even he knew that DEC screwed up big time by being too engineering driven. The NIH was so strong there that they made their own in-wall receptacles (probably apocryphal). Bob apparently hired

Your attempt at hiding your marketing driven decision is lame. You're obviously trying to leverage the OpenAI name. I mean, you could have called it gpt5, because it's 5x better. But you didn't.

With AI search, you won't have to go to the referenced page to read the content, which will kill the display ad business. How's google going to get around that?
