Marginal cost of a small microprocessor in an ASIC is nothing . The RAM costs a little bit, but if you want to firmware update in a friendly way, etc, you need some RAM to stage the updates.

Not really worth it, in general. It does reduce latency a little. In practice, you do have a continuing context, though, so you end up using it whether you care or not.

The pay-per-use API sucks. If you end up on the $50/mo plan, it's better, with caveats: 1 million tokens per minute, 24 million tokens per day. BUT: cached tokens count full, so if you have 100,000 tokens of context you can burn

Drones and 2d compositing could do a lot. They would excel in some areas used in the video, require far more resources than this technique in others, and be completely infeasible on a few. They would look much better in a very "famili

Yah. A lot of the complexity in data movement or processing is unneeded. But decent standardized orchestration, documentation, and change management isn't optional even for the 20 line shell script. Thankfully, that stuff is a lot e

It's a page layout / word processing program. I see the icon and I think "maybe text editor, maybe drawing program". #4 or #5 are best at conveying what it is for and for being distinct from other icons.

Everyone is going to be hurt, but if you're not the US you need to hedge. Being firmly aligned with the US is too dangerous right now. Lots of negative costs and outcomes come with that hedging. Not really sure who it's going to

I'm looking forward to the Telo-- if they get to market. It's absolutely all about utility. It will be interesting to see if people only want pickups as a fashion statement or if a weird, very practical vehicle can win. (Same be

Data rates are almost always multiplied by powers of 10, because they're based on symbol/clock rates which tend to be related to powers of 10. There's no address lines, etc, to push us to powers of 2 (though we may get a few

I end up transferring 940kB (with a lot of blocking cranked up). Typing "hello" in the search bar takes it up to 1MB. Then the first page of search results is another 1.3MB. Now, I assume all of this would start working before i

People always use bits for connectivity. 62.5kB/sec -- maybe really 55-60kB/sec downloaded. Or 18 seconds to get a megabyte. This is simultaneously fast (on my 14400 bps modem that I spent the most time "waiting for downloa

I think the point that's being made is-- it's a lot easier to stick together over the long term when you spend the first 20 years of your life together in a family unit. It's possible to build long term, stable bonds under

I really wish I could make myself listen. The times I have just sat and listened to a well-told, well-paced story have been magical. But the dopamine hit of reading -too quickly- competes; the pressure to "be busy" wins and makes

I can put it all in, say, 24 bits, if my database is small. 140k games, 120 positions each. log(140000*120)/log(2) ~~ 24.001, and surely there will be some duplication. The encoding is just the index number of the game + move that re

OK, so you've never actually been involved in peering between providers. That explains things. If you are buying transit for multihomed site, you just mostly need to worry about advertising your few local routes and receiving a table.

His claim-- as best as I can read it-- is that B leaking a long-length route changes where traffic is routed, but not to B. It's possible he's saying something else, but I can't figure out, and he hasn't clarified.

Peering means "give our downstream customers' routes plus our own routes; receive the same from them". Transit means "give our entire table, receive their routes plus their downstream customers routes". You don&#x27

I do feel like I can review 2-3x with a quicker context switching loop. Picking back up and following what the junior engineer did a a couple of weeks after we discussed the scope of work is hard.

I have to check what junior engineers do before running it in production. And AI is just really fast junior engineering.

I've got mixed feelings about the DMCA, but its one redeeming value is that it's available to everyone. Deciding to make it readily accessible to large publishing interests but giving a random author the side-eye is not so great.

I think expended effort is what counts here for these types of interactions, and how much of that effort is tailored to the specific person. I mean, we're almost always standing on the shoulders of other people, and we're almost a
