I don’t agree this is incredibly strange. These people are upset that they are unable to drive virtual sports cars in an online world. Why? It doesn’t transport them anywhere so they’re paying money for no real world utility. What differenc

Yes but not exactly. 7B13 was sold to both GCP and Alibaba. There are 2 variants of it with GCP having 60 cores and no turbo and Alibaba 64 and turbo. Looking at the part # won’t tell you which variant

It’s interesting I can’t find the Elizabeth Holmes TED talk in full anywhere. Even in the documentaries the clips have been cut to carefully exclude the logo.

Reminds me of a crypto startup. Classy marketing, virtue signaling, huge team, and a placeholder for vaporware that we’re all supposed to take seriously.

alright that was mean. but I’m winning points, so I could make a very sound argument that even though contradicting the guidelines I was incentivized by design to be mean. In a way, I’m an innocent victim of unspoken policy

Thrilled that this guy read a paper then explained it to us all very slowly using the words actually and basically. He appears to have had nothing to do with authoring of the paper and was unable to show a demo of the technique. Great that

“ If there are seven proven ways to success ” This is a major red flag. Arbitrarily selecting the number seven is an attempt to mislead the superstitious numerologist types. It’s almost always the cue for well meaning opinionated bullshit

Right unless they wrote the RTL and fabbed themselves, verified the netlist and compared to the golden master and shipped it securely, all the rest of the efforts likely don’t provide much more than a false sense of security. In fact you’re

The metadata is as important as the message in many cases and very few people actually use PGP. If both sides use Proton mail the assumption is their browsers are secure. One plugin wrong and the screenshots will leak. PGP is a 90’s solutio

I just use gmail. Privacy is dead. See the problem with services like proton mail and tor is it concentrates the activity of people with something to hide. It makes you a target

I know for a fact this is true. But, you can go to voip.ms and for 50c a month have all the burner numbers you want and hold them indefinitely. One thing he didn’t mention is that most numbers today are cellular devices constantly broadcast

Source? I see estimates from 6m to 150. I don’t think anyone really knows, but I expect it’s more like 6, which is somewhere around a good developers nest egg.

The actual consequence of learning programming is money. A material reward that improves quality of life. I’ll also wager that intelligence does transfer to other domains but that’s just MHO.

I’m pretty sure intelligence in chess does not transfer to other domains. This is someone who wasted years of their life to become a really great board game player. An accomplishment in the world of boardgames for sure, but with no actual c

Come on they’re dumping metric tons of industrial waste into the oceans every day but here we are sorting cans from cardboard. It’s just virtue signaling. It’s totally meaningless. That it’s now law is just a mind game. They get you to habi

I’m not a fan. Thinkpads have had magnesium enclosures since 2000. I don’t like the framework design or philosophy. You’d have to be insane to buy an Intel laptop for the same money as an ARM Macbook. This reusable thing doesn’t make a bit

Was there a legitimate reason to take that risk? What I don’t get is why there is no beacon on this device. That should be law. This search is costing tens of millions and without a beacon they never had a chance. From what I understand of

I’m sure they are and with a little tweaking and the right lighting they can almost certainly turn a liberal into a communist, or “have them see themselves more clearly and then rationally reevaluate their perspective”

But that’s clearly the utility being proposed. It disturbs me that a few feet from the Berkeley campus there are now five dispensaries. This is where they’re going. Let’s “fix” the “broken” people. Yesterday you had to put a bullet in them
