My own pet theory, based on absolutely no inside knowledge, is that MS doesn’t want to have Windows on M1+ until other CPU makers have caught up to Apple. It would be a huge embarrassment to have Apple hardware running Windows that much bet

He may not be particularly leveraged, but one could argue that a significant portion of his net worth in the form of Tesla's sky-high valuation is more or less "faith-based". To what extent his Twitter excursion would erode t

Edit: Actually it looks more like an Elitebook 845. Here's one with similar specs (smaller 512GB SSD) for $1569. https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-elitebook-845-g8-notebo... Original: Yes, it looks qu

It's not clear whether it's also got a dGPU or just the iGPU. Both are Radeon graphics. The vagueness of the description leads me to guess it only has an iGPU.

To be fair, this HP does seem like a fairly minimal-effort marketing exercise. It claims to be "Built for developers", but it doesn't really have any special developer-oriented features, other than maybe the keyboard and the

According to the article, Coolwulf went to Nanjing University for undergrad, so pretty safe to assume he would do an interview with Chinese media in Mandarin. And since he likely grew up in China, it was probably very easy for him to learn

So an average FAANG senior SWE would be able to afford 6-8 in a year? Not sure it needs to be cheaper.

I don't think the comment by wfh is saying that it's not possible to prevent these hooks. In fact, wfh is saying the opposite, i.e. that they already have the mitigation in place, but cannot enable it because there are legitimate

Didn't Microsoft do this in the old pre-Chromium Edge? It probably would've caused more of an outcry from users if anyone actually used the old Edge as their primary browser. Personally, I feel like this is the "wrong way&quo

In my experience, <any>philes end up sounding the same. Once you start enjoying something for its own sake, going overboard becomes the whole point.

Honestly? The most likely scenario is that a very large asteroid is spotted heading for earth some decades or centuries in the future, and we have to use every warhead we have to blow it up or turn it away. Extremely unlikely, but still mor

War is always a good pretext for crushing internal dissent, since critics can easily be branded as traitors. Some Russian observers believe the only reason Putin is invading Ukraine right now is because his position has weakened to the poin

My personal theory is that this is a side effect of startup/SV culture trying to make work seem like an extension of college. The office is a “campus”, where you get fed, socialize, and sometimes sleep/crash on a couch or the floo

Which have also been watered down in order to give the seniors somewhere to move up to. So the rungs get relabeled, but the ladder doesn’t actually reach any higher.

And just as empty and ultimately demoralizing. It feels great to “advance” so quickly at the start, but then most people are stuck at some level of “senior” for the next N decades. Why not have meaningful titles commensurate with actual lev

Don’t rapid and blitz already kind of fill that role? I’m really not sure that having fewer draws is a great metric to guide optimization for classical chess. First, some games that end in draws are actually fantastic, back-and-forth battle

Are those goals not somewhat contradictory? How would a more even game not lead to more draws instead of fewer? Unless the new rules punish slight mistakes much more severely, perhaps? But that would lead to other issues in the balance and
