Local models can access anything on your filesystem without sending it over the network. Easy to imagine certain tasks that would have better performance.

Technically the film is named after this novel; they optioned the title and then slapped it on their Do Androids Dream script because it sounded better. You're pretty close in your plot summary, it's about a dystopian future where

Your friends usually want to feel like they are your social peers; casually buying dinner for everyone reminds them that you're loaded and they aren't, but if they chip in they can maintain that feeling of being on your level. I g

A safe is extremely safe against hackers on the other side of the world. Quite safe against more local threats without special equipment and time on their hands. Security is relative to your threat model!

FAANG salaries are so bloated because Bay Area housing costs are insane. Someone making 500k could put half or more of into their mortgage. I've said it before on here, but I live very comfortably in Philly for a lot less than that.

Whether or not the regulation is outdated, it is the law of the land in the US at the moment and is relevant to enforcement actions by the SEC. This definition of security will determine Coinbase's success or failure in court.

I thought it was because the major labels are also the biggest shareholders, and therefore incentivized not to hamstring the company?

This is literally any worker? If you don't have a stake in the company, your bosses profit more from your work than they pay you for it, almost by definition.

Some of us don't have an option. My daughter's school is open from 8 to 6; I can't possibly get to work any earlier or stay any later than those constraints allow.

They are impossible to buy because Ford has been selling them faster than they can make them. Will it be the top selling EV of 2023? No. Will Ford keep making them? Absolutely.

Competition is here! Ford's electric F150 is selling quite well, and most of the other major auto brands have electric options on the market too. I haven't seen the sales figures, Tesla is probably still leading the EV segment at

Because the privacy abuses are privacy abuses, regardless of their country of origin? If Google is already properly respecting their users privacy they won't be affected by a strong privacy law - except we know that they aren't, a

Your third point, strict privacy laws for all, would protect American devices from the CCP, no?

Sort of - higher interest rates make your monthly mortgage payments higher, so if there's a fixed monthly payment you can afford, higher interest might offset the lower price and actually make it harder for you to buy in. This of cours

To add to sibling comments, YJIT needs the Rust compiler, so if you have to build your own Ruby binary, and you have to build it on a system where you can't get a Rust compiler, then RJIT will make your life easier. Not sure how common

Plenty of SQL features have been added since the 70s, notably window functions (which TFA relies on heavily). Most of the major databases are from the 80s, and even new kid on the block MySQL has been around since the mid 90s. SQL draws a v

A bread factory takes on risk by holding the ingredients for bread (which might expire, and cost money to store), paying bakers to make the bread (who might get sick or do a bad job), and on and on. It takes on and manages these risks, and

This is another set of parallel rules for the rich and poor. SBF can walk for less than 1% of his bail amount, but someone stuck in jail on a $1000 bail can't make a similar deal for $5.

There is something about the language and/or community that leads folks to build their own X instead of collaborating on a common open-source version of X. Perhaps the lisp learning curve is high enough to dissuade those who want to co

Agreed! The so-called "Age of Reason" was the anomaly, and probably not that much more reasonable than our own time.

Does Apple's 30% cut of all app store payments count as "services revenue"? If so, quite a bit comes from sketchy loot box games (though certainly not all)

The difference between `any` and `unknown` is that `any` is an escape hatch from the type system. `any` can be used anywhere and will satisfy any type constraint. `any` is how the developer says to the type system "trust me, I know wha
