It's entirely feasible for Google to involve humans in review, and create a team for developer support. The scale is not nearly as large as people think, and Google is wealthy beyond belief. Larry Page said it very clearly: “Find the l

Boeing can definitely go down further, and in fact I expect it, given the inertia of a huge business that has bled a lot of talent. Just look at Intel.

"may have bones" would be a more accurate headline, in line with the tone of the ruling. "may" warns of the possibility while being less definitive than "can". I'm surprised the ruling was 4-3 and not a bi

What an incredibly tone deaf admission of unethical behavior. As general counsel he happily admitted to making false accusations of a federal crime against a minor. This level of comfort and pride in unethical behavior raises the question o

100% this. These problems were solved in the 90's. The people who solved them moved on to other things, retired, etc. Designers and PMs don't get promoted for keeping things the same. So they went ahead and broke usability and gav

Yes, on some cards. I have workstations with dual RTX A6000 that run far too hot (~85 C) and drivers crash with PCIe errors. These are dual slot cards with blower fans, so they are loud, and it seems that NVIDIA chose to let the silicon get

There is no schadenfreude for the people in my circle. The same can be said for Intel. We all see it as a huge national security issue that these companies are fumbling, given how foundational they are for U.S. security, self-reliance and t

I see two sides to this story. By his own account, Feynman thought the psychiatrist was a bullshitter (I can see his point), turned the interview around, trolled him and presented a clearly adversarial attitude.

Telling almost no one in advance was intended to protect the board from Altman's interference but put them in an indefensible situation. Alone against very rich, well connected people, without even a narrative to offer.

This argument is however not on solid ground. It's not OK to cause pain and suffering to a creature capable of intelligence and emotions just because it's less intelligent than an arbitrary, conveniently chosen threshold.

For me it's about having a silent PC and not making the room feel like a sauna. I have a Ryzen 7950X in ECO mode 105W that's very fast in every workload I can throw at it, trivial to run whisper quiet with a basic Noctua cooler, a
