I think you really limit yourself by having such an ardent stance, that creates a place where you are unable to explore the possibility of success by anchoring yourself to very old historical facts. The web was trying to be a connected onli

ASML is where it is because Apple and Intel dumped a ton of money into it. Intel especially back when they were doing fine, before the current rockier years. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-intel-asml/intel-fund

The submission itself talks about creating & loading snapshots, which is sort of a Checkpoint Restore In Userspace (CRIU), allowing one to create a new context with a lot of existing libraries already loaded very very quickly.

Good news, but the Supreme Court deciding to override the FCC and declare fiber to be exempted from Local-Loop-Unbundling requirements is still a travesty. The Supreme Court sides with Verizon, whose argument was effectively, sure, there ar

SLC feels like a very modest downtown city, where-as Denver's urban core feels much more significant. And there's major East-West and Southern low-rise urban corridors out of Denver, that feel active, where-as SLC to me felt far m

The Simon Willison coverage is great. Simon is cited in the "why we should have seen it coming" section, for his Stable Diffusion Moment piece. He nicely covers the key points of this paper: > The premise of the paper is that

Does Lua have the ability to launch very low cost sandboxed instances? With Deno I know I can quickly spawn lots of isolated instances at very low overhead. If I really want to push it far, there's tools for loading frozen snapshots th

There's hundreds of programs that can be scripted with embedded Lua. For example, nginx web server, or neovim editor or awesomewm window manager. Having an embedded scripting language gives these systems enormous flexibility & util

Reciprocally, it's just amazing how much better AutoHotKey is at scripting the computer is than everything else is. The language was clearly never the reason why AHK persisted. There's works like AutoPy ( https://github.

For any long work, I love having a draft PR going, and then making PR's into that. Its basically like stacked PRs but I don't need each PR to be shippable independently. The advantage is so nice. You can make a bunch of finer-grai

I can't find evidence it really made it out to consumers, & even less evidence there was any followup, but Intel did have a Xeon + Arria 10 GX FPGA chip, back in 2018: Xeon Gold 6138P with Arria 10 FPGA. https://www.an

It's such a pity AMD revolutionized bandwidth & interconnectivity on Epyc (128 lanes PCIe) , but has left consumers hanging. Threadripper HDET was 64 lanes (the Pro really was a full Epyc, 128 lanes, 8 channel memory) but now Threa
