Depends on your definition of "safe". Imagine an adult DMs a nude photo to a minor (or other kinds of predation). If it's E2EE, no one except the sender and receiver know about this conversation. You want an MITM in this ca

Persia's only singular civilizational goal right now is nukes. What's funny is, all nuclear engineering programs in US universities (undergrad and grad level) are disproportionately filled with Iranian/Persian students (eve

This is akin to someone in 1861 saying US cotton plantations, and by extension the entire Southern economy, aren't viable without slavery, so let's allow slavery to run. Western liberal civilization has theta decay without occasio

It's because the software EM function in tech companies doesn't have parallels to managers in other professions. The technical decisions are made by the high-level SWEs. The product decision and customer-facing work is done by the

Exactly. 2 is only sufficient for HA against random failures. It's not enough for HA against a determined adversary willing to use targeted force.

In my opinion oatmeal is better as a spicy-savory rather than a sweet dish. You could add black pepper and a bit of salt to it and maybe a hot sauce for even more flavor. Montreal steak spice also works well. Could take it to the next level

AI has tremendously improved quality of life (both personal and professional) but I just don't see it translating to increased economic productivity.

That slot is called USB-C. I can fully imagine inference ASICs coming in powerbank form factor that you'd just plug and play.

Well even programmable ASICs like Cerebras and Groq give many-multiples speedup over GPUs and the market has hardly reacted at all.

Well it's less mental load. It's like Tesla's FSD. Am I a better driver than the FSD? For sure. But is it nice to just sit back and let it drive for a bit even if it's suboptimal and gets me there 10% slower, and maybe s

Anthropic has been killing it with the marketing recently. Wouldn't put it past them for this to be one more brand campaign.

By and large "AI assistant" is not a real thing. Everyone talks about it but no one can point you to one, because it doesn't exist (at least not in a form that any fair non-disingenuous reading of that term would imply). It&#

Hardly. You're going from analog to digital and vice-versa. You probably need specialized appliances. For every country in the world. And it's "solved" but only in proprietary contexts; I don't think there's a

Enterprise doesn't buy chat/meeting products without PSTN interop (dial-in dial-out to traditional phone line). Discord would probably need to double their dev team to add PSTN. Building something like Slack or Teams to the level

Exactly, that's why counting job postings is a terrible proxy for gauging market conditions. Companies may hire anywhere from 0 to 100s of people through the same JD.

Microsoft has consistently proven over the last five years that they have zero ability to execute. It's an astounding failure after failure to do anything right.

It's perfectly possible to have a successful SWE career without touching Leetcode-style questions. It's just that most of those jobs don't pay well.

To be fair, "you're fired!" doesn't happen in the US tech industry either. Even for performance-based firings, the employee almost always gets a few months of salary and garden leave in exchange for a release of claims.

Exactly. Airfoil is an optimization. There is a common misconception that planes wouldn't get off the ground if you didn't have airfoil. No, most of the lift (depends on the plane but in the ballpark of 80-90%) comes from the over
