This actually points the opposite direction, to doubling down on commercial GPUs. NVIDIA recently told their board partners that they will need to source their own RAM and will not be bundling it with chips anymore. If there is a supply cru

90% of people aren't using "SQL" anyway. They are just doing basic CRUD operations on a data store with SQL syntax, usually abstracted through an ORM. The only reason they want a SQL database in the first place is for ACID. I

Helicopters avoid car chases by allowing them to follow the car until it gets to a destination or runs out of gas. Even if they "usually" start from a minor traffic violation (which they do not), the majority of individuals who ru

The report is wrong. If you bother to watch LA news you'll see they are used a few times a night to track vehicles from the air. This frees up ground units and avoids high speed chases which saves lives. It's fun to call this a wa

Lets be honest, Hangouts (which of the three versions) was a crappy chat app that they wanted to boost the usage of. It wasn't intended to be a functional SMS replacement.
