It's interesting because the cities some people decry as not business friendly often get lots of job growth while charging companies a lot to expand there. Cities like NYC, SF, Boston, Seattle usually offer zero incentives and even cha

I agree with you that it's the wrong choice, but it's not just about ceding control. It's also about ceding the revenue. For example, to connect their system to the internet, that'll be $20/mo. I'd guess GM get

But is OpenAI building that compute or are they renting it? OpenAI and Anthropic are signing large deals with Google and Amazon for compute resources, but ultimately it means that Google and Amazon will own a ton of compute. Is OpenAI payin

I rewrote this in Go and it also deadlocks. It doesn't seem to be something that's Rust specific. I'm going to write down the order of events. 1. Background task takes the lock and holds it for 5 seconds. 2. Async Thing 1 tri

Apple was actually late to the glossy display party. HP and Dell moved to them a few years before Apple. I don't think Apple was "insisting" on them, but rather following an industry trend that they were late to.

I think it'd be unlikely for the Israeli government to try and push this issue. Yes, Google has assets within Israel that could be seized, but it'd be a bit of a disaster. Israel would be creating a scenario where it told companie

If they're able to gather the intelligence without a public signal, they wouldn't be wanting a public signal. Any discussion of "should we tell Israel" would be limited to people who knew of the secret subpoena's ex

The difference is that Mozilla’s for-profit arm is owned by the non-profit. The for-profit part of OpenAI is there to make a lot of individuals and for-profit corporations rich. OpenAI’s profit-generating subsidiary isn’t just there to furt

I think it's the difference between having enough CPUs that you can launch a product and having enough CPUs that people start planning future products. Volume takes time. That's why we're seeing 2026. And before someone says

Yea, this is how I feel too. I've been hoping that Intel would turn itself around, but Intel has failed at its roadmap over the past few years. Intel canceled 20A and 18A is delayed. It had looked like Intel would leapfrog TSMC, but th

Since 2017, Louden County housing prices have gone up 59% according to Zillow. To put that in perspective, NYC is up 24%, LA up 56%, Chicago up 28%, SF up 7%, DC up 10%, Boston up 29%, Atlanta up 48%. Ashburn, which is where the majority of

This is really cool, but I found one thing in testing it out: it seems to do really poorly with WebP images. I've run some WebP images from reddit through your site and they all end up looking terrible. If I run them through Squoosh.ap

I'm not surprised they don't offer an even higher tier. When you're pricing things, you often need to use proxies - like 1080p and 4K. It'd be hard to offer 3 pricing tiers: 1080p, 4K, 4K but actually good 4K that we don

In some ways, it's more like Disney getting out of silent movies or Microsoft stopping shipping software on floppy disks - or cell phone makers giving up on dumb phones or Apple discontinuing iPods. The market for DVRs has shifted a lo

How would this move .NET further away from WASMGC? This is a new GC for .NET, but doesn't add new things to the language that would make it harder to use WASMGC (nor easier). For example, .NET has internal pointers which WASMGC's

It's very different from k3s. With k3s, you have a Linux installation like Debian or Fedora and you install k3s on it. You can SSH into the box, install any other Linux program not running in Kubernetes, etc. It also means that you nee

As someone who tried Roku, Android TV, and Fire TV before switching, better hardware offers a vastly better experience. The Apple TV's hardware is fast. The UI doesn't lag. Things feel smooth as butter. Yes, maybe the Apple TV doe

I agree that tokens are a really hard metric for people. I think most people are used to getting something with a certain amount of capacity per time and dealing with that. If you get a server from AWS, you're getting a certain amount

In C#, there's expression trees which handle things like this and it's how Entity Framework is able to convert the lambdas it's given into SQL. This means that you can pass around code that can be inspected or transformed ins

It's not just about emotion or loyalty. It's about built-up knowledge and the difficulty of switching. When you're a long time user, you know how to do everything with what you're using - whether that's an operating

The UNIX specification is not the same as POSIX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification . You might say "their exact view of what UNIX is isn't important and POSIX is," but POSIX is not t

There are patches required. Many GNU utilities are very close to the UNIX spec, but not quite the UNIX spec - including glibc. But making a Linux distro that is UNIX certified would likely make it a worse Linux distro for most people since

The Single UNIX Specification does specify the behavior of many command line tools like ed, grep, awk, etc. OpenBSD sometimes notes where their tools vary from the UNIX spec. It's usually very small ways that don't matter to most

by mdasen 1y ago
It's not just about paying for certification. You also have to replace a lot of things like ed, awk, grep, etc. with versions that are compatible with the UNIX specification. GNU utilities didn't target 100% UNIX compatibility and

I'd say that you care about it being UNIX-like, not UNIX®. You don't care that Linux isn't UNIX. You don't care that GNU versions of things like ed and awk are slightly off-spec. In some ways, Apple's adherence to U

by mdasen 1y ago
There isn't much downside, but it probably involves a small amount of money (paid for the certification) and it means spending time making sure that everything remains 100% within spec. There's lots of little edge cases where BSDs
