Really bad habit, when I’m into something I open some tabs and if I switch to something else I keep opening new bunch of tabs. Once I no longer remember the older tabs I create a tab group from the current tabs in case there’s a tab I care

How many t/s would you expect? I think I feel perfectly fine when its over 50. Also, people figured a way to run these things in parallel easily. The device is pretty small, I think for someone who wouldn't mind the price tag stac

With M1 Air, Apple had to blow us away. People, including me, had hard time believing Apple's claims and many people were coping by looking at the Keynote charts and assuming that Apple must have tricked everyone by not giving proper s

Let's say you want to have the absolute max memory(512GB) to run AI models and let's say that you are O.K. with plugging a drive to archive your model weights then you can get this for a little bit shy of $10K. What a dream machi

These things are important only at peacetime. Also, some parts being made in USA only means that they need to find a new supplier and if that doesn't exist then can help someone to figure it out. USA is an important partner but nothing

What do you mean they don't have access? Maybe they kept copy of the technical documents and just keep building the machine and send them to China and not send them to USA?

I'm not convinced that legal structures can do anything between hostile countries. If that was possible they could have just sue Russia and get the war sorted out.

But this is not a card game, they can just build and ship these machines. IP and licenses are made up stuff to facilitate certain business transactions. You can just disregard those if you no longer care about those business ties. What USA

I get that but just because they use licensed IP doesn't mean that they have to sell it to the USA. >And it's individual nation states (in this case Netherlands) that makes this decision, not the EU. That's the current sta

Irrelevant. This measures trust towards USA to send their people who are willing to fight implied by them joining the military, not willingness to fight amongst the general public.

The problem with this is that we can't get rid of the baggage of higher and higher level of libraries and languages that exist to accommodate humans. I agree that it makes sense to use these currently but IMHO the ultimate programming

You can always revisit that part of code if it doesn’t perform. For vast majority of code running on consumer devices there’s no difference between smart implementation and mediocre implementation. LLMs are great at being mediocre by defaul

The Bluetooth app thing is just an example of LLMs helping me build something I don't have beyond-basics knowledge of. For other stuff, I still find it very useful because why would I bother to code something non-novel when I can just

I think going bankrupt can be grounds for making the software open source or at least free to make the users whole. Think of it like a liability, when bankrupt the stakeholders can choose to refund customers or make the software available -
