If you've faced discrimination from DEI then I regret to inform you that you are being judged on merit and talent, relative to a sample of your ethnic cohorts. You might qualify for the job, but you still have to compete for it. You

Ironically it's the opposite - they have to care. Companies like OpenAI are forced to virtue signal because if they don't, the Verge will publish an article at 8:00AM tomorrow titled "Transphobic/Homophobic Model Now H

Face it - FreeBSD has been taken over by corpos for years. The open source community tried warning them, but no, they never listened.

You just linked to three anecdotes. That doesn't prove anything, it just shows that HN users are willing to take a stance one way or the other sometimes. If you wanted to prove that it's accurate you might include qualitative data

Sometimes I worry that the internet has enabled ordinary but gullible people to find exactly the supporting evidence they need to be considered insane by society.

It seems like the perception that MacOS and Windows are miles apart in quality stems from the two ends of the horseshoe theory refusing to admit they're next-door neighbors.

The reason is business demands. Maybe it's not the sexiest reason for ideological users or simple PC operators, but it's undeniably why systemd is the standard now. Enterprise applications (which comprise the vast majority of Linu

Yep. The make-or-break moment will be shipping 18A for sure, but Pat's roadmap has finally started to pay off it looks like. It's an impressive turnaround for a company regarded to be face-down in the water and 10 years behind the

I disagree, because I think aid can be helpful depending on how it arises. $50,000,000 is not an insane amount of money (consider defense spending), and it would not eliminate a significant amount of student debt. It does buy you a lot of r

Absolutely reprehensible. Imagine how much better that money would be spent sending GBU-12s to Israel in unconditional aid packages! We have to free up government spending so we can play suck-up to the right people. It's for America&#x

Not really, but there's basically no path of recourse for OpenAI no matter how you frame it. They could accuse DeepSeek of sanctions violation or IP theft, but nobody in China is going to prosecute them. I don't even think DeepSee

I love the way KDE handles system monitor widgets, especially nowadays. It's great for people that want to make graphs with desperate sensors like plotting your CPU temp against your GPU temp or your IO speed with your network speed.

ATC (as well as most government jobs) are a real case of "you get what you pay for". When you bring wages down so low that educated engineers don't want to work your job, your options are to lower the qualifications or leave

You can buy a 3060ti with modern CUDA support and 8gb of VRAM for ~$220 right now. If your only goal is inference/finetuning that should be the best option at it's price point.
