AI is a bubble and will pop soon, theres no way even 80% of the spending has yielded the returns they were looking for. Nvidia cards will lower in demand though probably the bubble will be a net gain for nvidia over the preceding 4 or 5 yea

I remember being told in school that we shouldn't use Wikipedia (not just for citations, but at all ) because anyone can edit it. We were told to use other websites directly, or better yet: paper books. I would get in trouble for &quo

It also invites exceptions as error handling instead of a monadic (result) pattern. I usually do something more like Result<Users> userRes = getExpiredUsers(db); if(isError(userRes)) { return userRes.error; }

In linq (C#) IEnumerable<User> getExpiredUsers(DbSet<User> users) => users.Where(u => u.ExpiresAt < DateTime.UtcNow); Such simple logical expressions (called expression trees) get converted to SQL queri

Americans accept pedestrian deaths caused by huge monster truck F350s every single day. Not that an AI powered car running people over is nothing, but nobody in the US gives a shit about pedestrian deaths

If you ever go outside of the US it is shocking how much other countries do with so little. Countires with a tenth of our population and an even smaller fraction of our GDP have cheap, efficient, high quality health care systems and clean,

Depends on your note-taking strategy. I would just transcribe what the professor was saying and ended up not paying attention. I turned my brain into a transcription machine and didn't take any time to grok anything I heard, then I had

This is cool - I often wish java had some of the nice features of C# without having to go all the way into Kotlin. In your post, you say: >Compile to standard Java bytecode and run anywhere the JVM runs But in github, the readme says tha

Tech illiteracy at some age groups is insane to me. I understand that my 93 year old grandma wasn't great at this sort of thing. But I encounter people who are in their 20s who don't know how to print a document, or people in thei
