My money is that outside of a couple of dog and pony demos with everyone on one well-administered LAN you could not make this work with system time and NTP on consumer devices. You will regularly see 100ms difference in NTP time. The fact t

Each individual fiber, which is a fraction of a cubic mm in cross sectional area, can provide this much bandwidth in a fairly trivial low-cost configuration. Cables like the one pictured carry many of these fibers.

B2C and B2B are completely different when it comes to moats. If I can save 20% of my data center costs and cut a price-gouging vendor while bringing the solution in-house at a big tech org I am a hero. Consumers won’t buy a Surface because

Don’t look too closely or you might realize that your value system is not universal, and that it is an artificial construct and depends on all sorts of other artificial constructs such as a market system. You can’t seriously believe that yo

You’ll have to provide a lot more context for this to be believable. Maybe it is an unrealistic goal for animals who aren’t interested in having a stable global population.

Sorry, that was a joke. They do have to save them somewhere and then delete them. Nature doesn’t help much. Maybe if you use enough non-ECC RAM or something.

No, they don’t delete them, they just don’t keep them after 24 hours, and they keep them before that. No deleting. for message in messages: if message.t < 86400 keep(message) else continue // let

Both are saying the same thing: in order for the base model that is phi to perform well as a chat agent, it would need to be tuned for that purpose before its benchmark results could have real-world value.

Fiber is not targeted at a volume/consumer market, yet. That’s the primary reason it isn’t cheaper, but it is still pretty cheap, and has the potential to be cheaper than copper. I’m confused by your whole sentiment. They said use fibe

I’m blown away by these responses. I took adhd meds and did not get a whiff of a high, but chocolate and even maca I can detect as getting me high. Now I wonder if people with adhd with different etiology are just “treating” it by getting h

OP: “Zoning laws mean you can’t just build large volumes of cheap accommodation.” Building codes prevent cheap housing more than zoning laws. It sure seemed like a marginally-informed rant to me. I live on a street that attempted to convert

This argument is tired and simplistic. Zoning and other homebuilding laws also prevent large-scale tragic disasters that occur because of self-interested corner-cutting and profiteering. Many people died on a regular basis because of the un

If that’s the case I’d suggest you probably have a bug in your code somewhere that depends on a timer that resets at midnight. So when it spans midnight everything resets, but this isn’t the server resetting.

Agreed — people choose you because you’re shiny, and to the rest of the world it looks like a family, but watch what happens if you try to give up being shiny.

The answer must also be within all of their domains of expertise for the 50% to have any meaning. You can’t have a “room full of smart people” as you’ll just arrive at suboptimal outcomes because your consensus relies on the lowest common d

I think all those are true, but if so the percentages of first-generation immigrants should increase as you ascend the educational pyramid. I believe it does from undergrad to Phd, but not from general population to higher education, so cle

Strategic self-anticonformity is the technical term for reverse psychology. By making raising VC seem specific and exclusive, they make it seem high-value and make people want it more. It is telling people that the object at the top end of

First generation immigrants are still a tiny minority of the population. The fact that the entire team consists effectively of first generation immigrants says something, probably both about higher education and American culture.
