When would you say that to a kid? Honestly. Odds are incredibly high the kid lives in a straight household. If you just say you are married, the child will understand that your family unit is like their family unit. Without some kind of pro

Well, since you asked, sure I'll bite. Sexuality is not "part of the equation" when saying you are married. Except when it comes to saying you are gay and married. IANAL, but it is almost like the law was written to dispropo

(paywalled) That's about as good as a quantum computer can do using Shor's algorithm. I guess we will soon see 1000s of articles about how DNA computers are just on the horizon and all your security bases are belong to... Not to f

One second google search: https://www.edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/files/ai21-367... I only skimmed it (read the abstract, checked the graphs, reviewed what stuck out as I scrolled), but quick take aways

I'm not fond of "well actually"ing people, but your argument presupposes two things that I simply do not agree with. (1) A person's SOP can be disparaging others and yet they still earnestly care about the "masses&q

Nope, nawh, no thank you. Not every tool gets to live rent-free in my head. Sometimes I just want to do a thing once. Often times, I don't care how it is done, I just want the finished product. magick is not a single-purpose tool and h

There is a Mitch Hedberg joke about escalators that applies here. Almost all e-bikes can, at the very least, be used without battery power. Some can even be essentially "de-electrified" if need be. The fail state for an e-bike is

What software did the author use to measure / test memory throughput? Those DDR5 numbers are truly terrible. I've seen 1866hz quad rank ddr3 perform substantially better.

Walmart's last quarter sales were about 115 Billion [1] There are about 4700 stores in the US [2] That means Walmart has per-store-daily-sales in excess of 200k. According to [3] I'm actually down an order of magnitude (3 million

What the ADL did was bigoted, truly disgustingly, and 100% on the wrong side of history. The subsequent PR black-eye was absolutely deserved. That said, they have since corrected course: https://www.adl.org/resources/bl

According to the latest census data[1] there are 5.7x more white people than black people in the US. If I indiscriminately killed people I would be 5.7x more likely to kill a white person than a black person. I'm sure you could say &qu

Shooting from the hip here, but since Intel runs their own fab(s), that seems unlikely. Maybe for secondary chips on 3rd-party motherboards? It is also completely possible that they were affected in a different second-order way (IE no one c

((72*260)/60)/24 = 13 That is 13 full days of time per year. That is a vacation. Or a long training course to learn a new skill. An hour+ a day to hang out with your kid or friends or dog or laptop or car.

Not volatile, but Optane? Even in the era of super fast pcie4 ssds, the random read times for optane is like 6-10x faster. Fast enough that intel put optane into ram module for persistence. Plus intel sold nand ssd drives (model H20?) that

The looming AI-generated SEO nightmare feels like we are on the cusp of a cousin to the machine translation problem. Many years ago, someone had the fantastic idea to improve translation by comparing websites available in different language

I'd like to see the receipts on your statement. Easy examples I use every day: ML and Quantum Computing libraries. There is a depth to the Python ecosystem that can't be matched anywhere else. Honestly, I'm sure I will get a

That is a really strange way of looking at this. From what I can tell, the car wasn't broken, it was operating as expected. It couldn't get the battery warm enough so it didn't charge. If you had replaced that specific Tesla

Software folk taking the 10x thing seriously is akin to PC gamers unironically calling themselves the "PC master race". I have a hard time taking that conversation seriously.

It doesn't seem like a tax. You wouldn't call a state government requiring a car to meet some minimum safety requirement a tax, right? At least to the best of my knowledge, no automaker has ever done an "airbag tax". It&

Chief Justice(of the United States) John Roberts suggested that he doesn't read them. Trying to call people out for not doing so or not understanding the technological reason why data is sent doesn't seem productive.

This issue with "men are smarter than women" as a form of benevolent prejudice stems from the fact that there are largely only two bio-sexes (vs. genders). That, plus the explicit relative value judgment, makes it clear who the &q
