Yeah this. I tried to modify a hobby OS recently so it would process the "soft reboot" button (to speed up being rebooted in GCP) and it was so unbelievably hard to figure out how to support it. I tried following the instructions

I set my parents up with a computer and locked it down nice and good. A few months later they called me asking me about this full screen message they couldn't figure out how to make go away that was demanding they call Apple or Google

Sadly no. There isn't really a single person who understands the entire SOTA chip fabrication process in enough detail. Think thousands of material science PhDs with master and apprentice style relationships inserted at every level of

I agree. A better article would dive into the economics of what and why they didn't release the model that won gold in the 2025 International Math Olympiad. And the answer there is (probably) because it had a million dollars in inferen

Kinda. Except in OCaml this deficiency does not exist: > Named arguments are allowed only for methods, not for let-bound functions, function values, or lambda expressions.

I do not understand how they could develop a language inspired by OCaml but not bring over labeled function arguments. A real L when it comes to ergonomics. And they just have no plans to ever fix this??

The skepticism people have towards metabolic dysregulation models of obesity is too much. We know for a fact the inverse happens: girl starves herself for years to slim down to become a ballerina, eventually decides it's not worth it a

This is from a mismatch in incentives and is well known. The agents maximize their income by getting lots of quick sales. The seller maximizes their profit by being prepared to wait. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princi

Yes. I know. I wonder if they persist in asking too much because they're overly leveraged. My second paragraph.

I'm in the market right now. Anecdotally, it seems like there's more inventory available today than at any time in recent memory, but attractive properties still sell fast while loser properties pile up. I'm not quite sure wh

They deprecate internal infrastructure stuff zealously and tell teams they need to be off of such and such by this date. But it's worse than that because they'll bring up whole new datacenters without ever bringing the deprecated

doesn't the Rust ecosystem also inconsistently mix Option and Result? anyway, it's a fairly trivial wrapper to handle the odd annoying thing that raises Option.try_with (fun () -> thing_that_exns ()) Result.try_with (fun () -&g

This implies you can control your name being linked to your social media profile based on whether or not you type it in? That's not required though. Your friends have already given your name to them by allowing the app access to their

They are better. Life expectancy at birth in the US is dragged down by myriad societal issues but if you survive to middle age, life expectancy begins climbing to the highest in the world.

FP is great but not necessarily at all costs. OCaml is immediate by default instead of lazy, and allows imperative code with side-effects. Both escape hatches from the pure FP world. So, performance is easier to reason about and you can int

Yes this. Intel is in deep shit. This is exactly the thing you'd expect their new CEO to say right now.

Could Facebook hire away OpenAI people just by matching their comp? Doubtful. Facebook is widely hated and embarrassing to work at. Facebook has to offer significantly more. And if someone at OpenAI says hey Facebook just offered me more mo

I can see the Microsoft board room meeting now. A: The Europeans grow restless that we are suspending email accounts of Trump's political enemies. B: What are they going to do, host their own email servers? [maniacal cackling]

In 2025 it's actually not that expensive. CDNs aggressively drive down the cost of streaming video. A 1080p music video costs about one tenth of one cent to serve to one person at retail CDN rates. You could easily host this yourself a

Same. I'm probably too old man shakes fist at cloud but whenever I see "$3000 per month in AWS costs" I think "or pay $6000-9000 one time to buy instead and be good for 3+ years".

yeah but nobody wants to put "spent two months migrating goo.gl url shortener to work with Sisyphus release manager and Dante 7 SRE monitoring" in their perf packet that's a negative credit activity
