Anytime there's a shortage, you can be sure a government policy is behind it. The irony of all the bureaucrats bullshitting about climate change to cover for a policy outcome of their making is not lost on me. Never change, California.

I somehow doubt that the number of github stars is part of VC due diligence.

Exact opposite experience on my end - impressionable gen-z kids, and people with minimal background on the topic,* are seeing it as the second coming of christ, where as all the math-and-adjacent PhDs, especially ML-focused, I work with are

On every new windows 11 box of mine, I spend around 4-5 hours setting it up in a way to prevent any phone-home or auto-update. Group policies, deleting things, setting up fake domain controllers etc. Preposterous amount of time spent to mak

Solar roadways was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the headline.

Ha, someone else has shopped there before! "More-hardened hardened screw extractor-extractor $3.99 this weekend only!"

Very much this - kids dealing with existential issues on the bottom of the Maslow pyramid don't have the luxury of this sort thing.

Apologies, that is indeed the distribution of offenses for people on electronic monitoring.

The policies implemented in Chicago weren't exactly targeting jaywalkers - some 10 people get shot in Chicago every weekend for about a decade now with a huge asymmetry of how the justice system deals with people that shot and missed.

Hmm I've got an HP Z6 that doesn't seem to care? Are you sure this isn't a 1u rack will fry itself if you put a spaceheater type of thing inside of it?

Artist's impression of a black hole, more news at 6. I guess all the crypto hype is now AI hype. Can't wait to see the wave of companies renaming themselves from X Blockchain to X AI.
