It's a joke, people have been calling Pokemon a fad since 1998. Pokemania in the early 2000s was bigger than the Pokemon Go moment in 2016. But Pokemon endures.

As a outside observer, NAND and DRAM prices have skyrocket ed with the AI infrastructure boom just as the China-based fabs are coming online. It is wise for these Chinese fabs to eventually use a very aggressive dumping strategy to price w

That's an extrapolation to finish the entire game. If limit your token count to a fraction of 2 billion tokens, you can try it on your own game, and of course have it complete a shorter fraction of the game.

But DuckDuckGo does censor search results, if DMCA takedown requests are countered as censorship (which they should be because the system is abused). Eg, DDG always fail the "watch (specific movie or tv show) online" search query

As somebody also directly impacted by the US immigration system, yes please do enforce the laws on the books universally and impartially. Immigration reform will happen, but regardless no queue cutting.

It seems using the E-Verify portal to validate Form I-9 employment authorization is only mandated in some states right now. It seems the others just need to collect the information but not validate it.

Why hasn't the federal government mandated Form I-9 employment eligibility as part of federal tax returns? Seems like a more systemic way to improve issues around people overstaying visas or using tourist visas to work (in the formal e

What an indictment on NVidia market segmentation that there's an industry doing aftermarket VRAM upgrades on gaming cards due their intentionally hobbled VRAM. I wish AMD and Intel Arc would step up their game.
