This is cart before horse. Linus worked with PCs for years and saw (obvious) problems with Apple's hardware, and so he's invested in a solution. He's been critical of these things since long before Framework was founded.

CodeWarrior was commercial software, Apple's pre-OS X developer tools were called "Macintosh Programmer's Workshop". It was bought up by Motorola/Freescale around the turn of the century and lived on as tools for em

You make it sound like you aren't checking out what your competitors are doing. Why not? They probably have some good ideas that you can try to implement better than they have.

FPGAs just have a different set of attack vectors. Maybe it's smaller and more esoteric, but they're not a silver bullet.

ATA and IDE is the same thing. Usually CF cards will just work on adapters.

I know a guy who learned Standard ML when he was 11. I also know a bunch of smart guys who dropped out of comp sci at Uni because that's what they were taught in their first semester. Some of them became developers anyway, others decid

I'm nominally a senior (though only 8 years experience), and I work thirty hours per week. This is a small place where I still code most of the time, but I'm also responsible for a lot of code review (man, we need more code review

I still think (hope!) the real reason central banks (and governments) want a digital currency is that they're not sure completely replacing cash-infrastructure with one or more privately-owned, possibly foreign-owned, alternatives is s

The payment system is infrastructure. Some would say it's the most important piece of infrastructure that we have. It is remarkable that we have allowed it to become privatized due to the progress of technology.

The state have enough control over the banks they they can already freeze, seize and surveil assets as they see fit. Any legal constraints on this (human rights and such) can also be applied to a CBDC.

by rvense 5y ago
That is not the motivation for CBDC. Cash as a technology is, like all other uses of paper, being replaced by digital solutions. And like all other paper replacements, this is leading to a significant shift in power and ownership. In this c

These aren't exactly rare. I can accept this sort of stuff when it's done well. They should pass that MB on as a working spare, though.

And some weird Oprah Winfrey quote in the middle? And a list of people born and died on this date? I was expecting five headlines I could quickly scan to keep up with important events, not this.

Interesting, I didn't know that. In linguistics, it is the common (only) word for the family of languages that Swahili belongs to.

My favourite thing is that they have all sorts of social features so you can really engage with other fans and make lists and explore and do things... but you can also just ignore the hell out of that and buy some music that you like.

The inconveniencing of a property developer is fairly low priority compared to preserving our past, I'd say. You can't exactly make another one of these if it gets bulldozed.

Here in Denmark, it's impossible to get more than maybe ten kilometers from a settlement of 500+ people. I am, by local standards, comparatively out in the sticks, but I'm still no more than a few hours walk from a city of a 100,0

I am looking more into the exact nature of the multilingual data used by GPT-3 and it's a little hard. The main paper mostly focuses on the algorithms which is less interesting to me. The key is, if you have aligned or parallel texts,

Yes. And the cheap instances use shorter leads that technicians might trip over at any given moment.

GPT-3 trained on only English can produce French text? Citation please! I've looked for one, but I can't find it. I can, however, find more than a little information suggesting that GPT-3 is trained on multilingual data. > I th

This is... basically what I'm saying? How will you make a translation without knowing what the words mean in the real world? You can get a vector that says 'oiufd' is to 'flarewq' as 'rye8poq' is to '
