All of them. These computers are being thrown out, so none of those scenarios are happening.

Honestly I'd argue you don't. I like the explicit nature of top down state and passing down actions via props because then you can see directly, via props, what mutates what. I've built quite sophisticated applications that

Hmm, I've seen recyclers with stacks of these machines (including new M1 Max's) that they say they have to throw out because they can't do this. I wonder if you are missing something.

That's what I said about JavaScript almost 30 years ago.

I've been working to retire early and have financial security/peace of mind. All of this fluff just doesn't interest me that much.

I'm guessing tax preparation companies don't make a lot of money off those filers anyways. But if you start taking away the more expensive customers, i.e. the business owners, investors, etc... then it becomes a problem. Lobbyin

1. Energy - The renewable folks would have us believe this is incredibly cheap 2. Land - Most of this land is not usable for other purposes. At least in the U.S. I am not speaking about globally because the problems there are largely poli

Well that's not true. Most cattle is grass fed for the majority of it's life at which point they will have them eat at feed lots to fatten up. Second, feed lots can use things like by-products of sugar production (molasses, beet

Wow that is crazy, Microcenter in the USA had 4090s going for under $1100 USD not too long ago.

Seeing as only a few % of Americans achieve what you are saying I don’t think it’s strictly true. Maybe if you want to fatfire or something

Interesting, I use ms sql a lot so that’s actually a plus for me.

Yeah it's all down to the individual. I used to play all the time when younger but now I play in pretty short bursts and it works fine. I just avoid any games as a service type games. The PS5 is really nice at this because you don&#x

The vast majority of the electricity in our state comes from coal plants. I am all for slowly switching to electric in hopes of greener sources in the future, but if we all do it right now it would arguably be worse for the environment.

Wouldn't NPV of future cash flows dropping mean you may have less cash flow in the future to pay for employees you may have hired anticipating those cash flows?

Why does it always jump straight to white supremacy and Neo-Nazism? There's a lot of area in there that is being ignored and/or casually dismissed. It's not an honest discussion.

Does anyone know a good resource for someone who was very familiar with older Python (early 2.x) and would like to get up to speed on the latest Python along with current/best practices?

I don't know, I have heard that a lot of the newer ovens with an air fryer mode don't work very well at all. I wonder what is different.

I guess I don't agree with the assessment that it is a glorified search engine at all. It's a lot more novel than that. I also agree that consent should be received before using an artists images in the training process. That sai

I was mainly talking about my usage patterns, not every desktop or workstation user. I work with a lot of data daily. Something more general might be game asset load speed. Those are often sequential reads. They put a ton of engineering e

You don't even need to get to that complex of a scenario. Just running simple database queries would benefit from this.

My point is that it's not just a matter of using the source IP directly. A lot of productive work goes into the creation of the model itself. Those weights & biases did not appear on their own. It could not be created without the

We are already seeing SSDs with over double the read speed and ~70% more write speed. You don't see how that could make a difference? Even with 128GB of RAM on a workstation there are a lot of data sets that do not fit.

I look at it like it's some companies IP in the way oil/gas companies sell earth's resources. It takes a lot of work to transform raw crude into usable product, similarly OpenAI and others put a ton of money/resources&#

I primarily use EF, although I have used many others in the past. You are right that not all ORMs are equal, not even close. But with EF at least those problems aren't really a big deal. You are right that SQL is perfectly adequate -

I mean, using services such as those you are being tracked extensively anyways, it's pretty much unavoidable. I just never accepted the terms on my LG and use a Roku instead, although I'm not sure it is much better. But the inter

The problem isn't the mismatch of the data structures. Imo it comes down to lazy loading and that's about it. Using lazy loading to navigate relationships is where the impedance mismatch manifests and it is completely avoidable

The main reason in my area is that a.) these fancy new efficient ones aren't available easily and b.) no contractors in the area to install/service them. I just got a new gas furnace and really wanted to add a heat pump to the mi

I feel like this is a pretty interesting analysis [1]. I eat cured meat and even make my own pastrami all the time at home. Not really worried about this at all, but I keep my eye on new data. [1] https://genuineideas.com/A
