There are many issues here. The lack of incentives is probably the most important one. For new professors (in research universities), good teaching is usually just a good thing to have, but it is not a deciding factor for their tenure. When

There are websites using WebRTC for p2p transfer.

It probably also means that companies will not do it: It seems impossible to keep the tariff this high for years, and Trump will only stay in office for a few years...

Sadly we don't consider things that are economically efficient as craftmanship :)

What if the models are somehow trained/tuned with Ads? Like businesses sponsor the training of some foundational models... Not the typical ads business model, but may be possible.

I feel like top management and share holders don't really care about things that may happen ~30 years later. And even if they care, there are a lot more other issues that may ruin a company, e.g. the entire industry is replaced due to

While financial incentives is important to some, a lot of people write books to share their knowledge and give the book out for free. I think more people are doing this now, and there are also open collaborative textbook projects. And I per

The issue is that something like this will not affect the criminals, they can just use something with encryption.

There are off-chain solutions to handle most of the payment, and only put a summary on-chain. I think there are already micropayments in Brave or something.

1. Parallel radix sort (CPU or GPU) can also be pretty fast. For input distributions without too much pattern and keys that are not too large, radix sort is probably the fastest if you can use it. 2. For typical applications, memory transfe

I would argue that subscription is the only sensible model for browser (if payment is needed). For browsers you do want to keep up to date with security patches as well as new features, that is pretty critical for both usability and securit

And I don't understand what is the benefit of lying as well - everyone on the internet knows what this is about, at least if they used ad blockers. A lot of people don't, but they will not be affected anyway.

When things are performance-sensitive, you want things to be tunable and predictable. Good luck playing with the JIT if you rely that for performance...

I'm just curious if it is possible that some former/current employees in Mozilla can just form an org, say they will maintain a fork of Firefox, and accept donation from the users that were pissed and maybe apply for some funding

I thought reflink is provided by the underlying FS, and Hyperspace is a dedup tool that finds the duplicates.

Is this the dedup function provided by other FS?

CoW is not aliasing. It will perform the actual copying when you modify the file content.

Wow I never knew this, I always just type `--no-ext-diff` when piping the output. Thanks!

Tbh I feel like the people didn't care much about it because the people who got kidnapped there were mostly attracted by job offers that were known to be shady (quick money), so there wasn't much discussion around this. The actor

Or maybe try not to judge researchers based on the amount of grants that they can get...

I feel terrible for the idea of jugding academics based on the amount of grant money they can get... It feels like encouraging a lot of smart people to find ways to waste money, even when they know that they don't really need that much

Meh, not actively messing up the course is already better than some of the other professors...

I sometimes just wonder, a lot of professors are bad at teaching because they don't have to be good at it. Is it the same for universities? It feels like reputation for universities are quite detached from the courses they have or teac

It depends on incentives. From what I can see in CS, a lot of young researchers are focused on short-term projects, disconnected from actual problems, and spend lots of effort to package the result to increase the chance of getting a paper

This depends on languages. For c/c++ without a package manager, people hesitate to add external dependencies (and especially when high performance is needed, e.g. game engines).

Yeah, LLM is kind of just making expensive cheats cheaper. You can do it without LLM, and indeed students did similar things prior to the release of ChatGPT, just less common.

No. A serious language designer will try to make things they like at the beginning, not trying to patch it later. Patching via breaking public API (language design) is never a good thing.

RISC-V has SIMD extension as well. Even when there is no SIMD, prefetching or instruction selection/scheduling will have a big impact on the performance, so it is unlikely one can easily write a few lines of assembly and get to a simil

Another way to look at it is that you can have more hospitals using systems with a lower cost, thus saving more lifes comparing to only a few hospitals using an expensive system.
