They literally have no idea what they doing from one moment to the next. Obviously they are making up facts and strategies on the fly maybe minutes before press conferences. Just look all the math errors, irrational formulas and tariffing p

These would be inherently temporary problems though right? If it became eventually clear that alternate methods were the way forward, NVDIA would be highly motivated to do the optimization work wouldn't they? Any new step functions tha

This is already happening. Canada is starting to accept Americans on refugee status. I have multiple US friends or acquaintances applying for Canadian Visas or Citizenship as either an active plan or as a contingency. A cousin of mine who i

You know what every other online money transfer mechanism has? An ability to reverse transactions in the case or error or fraud. Because those things happen all of the time.

At the risk of taking this thread further OT, I am a product manager / consulting CPO but a whole heartedly agree with you. I like the way you phrase it. A tool to evaluate progress and provide realistic completion dates. That is how I

Rooting for Intel to survive. But shipping units for revenue on 18a is still a ways out, and if they were coming even close to signing enough foundry customers, Pat would probably still be CEO.

I went back to Rogue as an experienced Nethack player. Managed to finally win it after a good number of attempts. You have to get lucky with some early gear finds, and then spend absolutely as few turns as possible on the lower levels (othe

They'll have plenty of data to support the primary motivation: that enforcing arbitrary RTO policies will absolutely aid in generating staff turnover and voluntary attrition without having to payout severance costs. The policy gives th

Indeed. Imagine Ajit Pai but now 3 steps further to the right, and emboldened to punish media and communication companies who don't do enough to promote "conservative speech". It's all in Project 2025 and beyond Orwelli

A lot of these are not scams! Over the last few years I've made in aggregate well into the 6 figures of side hustle advisory calls and engagements from these networks. Legit ones I've worked with include GLG, Guidepoint, Alphasigh

There was a story from days of the first dotcom boom when Larry Ellison got a call from his banker complaining that he was overdrawn on his personal account by a billion dollars.

AMD also wins on perf/Watt which is pretty notable for anyone who still believed that X86 could never challenge ARM/Risc in efficiency. These days, lot of data centers are also more limited by available Watts (and associated cooli

Kanban as mentioned by this commenter and others are great processes that do maximize productivity, flexibility, and often developer happiness. I love Kanban for the initial cycles of a project and as long as you can keep it going. The weak

This. This is the real social problem we should be fighting. SW should not impinge on career or social status. As a hiring manager, if anything I'd want to consider sex performers as a green flag in a job history. Speaks to resourceful

Yes! Agonizing that 10 years in and the battery still can't get you through more than one day. My pebble from 2013 was a much more practical and useable device than any Apple watch I've owned over the last decade.

Bit embarrassing for intel that they had to swallow their pride to get this one made by TSMC. But, by that same token, that alone is good reason to believe it should be highly competitive with everyone else (AMD, Qualcom, Apple) building c

The real big lie is the idea that the recommendation algos were ever actually for the user. The premise that many folks miss here is the idea that Spotify is, at best, thinly interested in recommending music that is good for YOUR interests.

Coincidentally, while trying to get my daughter to sleep last night, I watched her solve a lengthy sudoko on my phone, while my own brain couldn't help to wander to imagining all the possible solver algorithms that might be out there.

I think it's telling that they are delaying the microcode patch until after all the reviewers publish their Zen5 reviews and the comparisons of those chips against current Raptorlake performance.
