If we're sharing Youtubers, I can recommend BPS Space video on ablation, which is a really cool, hands-on introduction to the subject backed up by experiment and actual manufacturing. https://youtu.be/UkLExdiz8jY

I'm not convinced. (A bit of advice: if you wish to make a statement about performance, always start by measuring things. Then when somebody asks you for proof/data, you would already have it.) If what you're saying were true

Exactly like any other big tech (Google, Microsoft, etc) or consulting (McKinsey, Deloitte, etc) company! There really isn't anything special about Palantir the company. They have disrupted consulting on marketing alone (all this forwa

Perhaps you're right that they couldn't be compelled by law to reveal it, then! However, I can still find people on Signal using their phone number, by design. If they can do that, surely there is sufficient information, and appro

Well, I've been using a fine-tuned variant of Gemma 3 model since it came out, and some embedding models, on a laptop. It's not "useless" by any means, in fact it still beats the latest Claude for my use-case in Ukrainia

Congratulations: you've single-handedly managed to humiliate a $29 bil. poster child for code-slop!

The alarming extent of US-affiliated signals intelligence collection is well-documented, but in the case of Threema it's largely inconsequential; you can still purchase the license for it anonymously, optionally build from source, and

I wonder whether the protesters could opt for offshore alternatives that don't require exposing their phone number to a company that could be compelled to reveal it by US law. For example, there is Threema[1], a Swiss option priced at

Mac studio way is not "AI on CPU," as M2/M4 are complex SoC, that includes a GPU with unified memory access.

AMD is already serving that segment, and quite successfully, too. I would assume Panther Lake is an improvement for Intel, most notably in the I/O department, but is it really "on par" even with the recent Ryzen variants, let

You know they can run NAT at the border right? Iran -> Russia -> the rest of the Internet. Russians would never re-advertise Iranian routes, and because they're all such good pals they could let them use whatever segment, so all

I happen to own a Precursor, and indeed used it for some experiments, but it's unfortunately limited by Xilinx Spartan-7 availability, which is one of the few FPGA's that have been reverse-engineered, and they probably don't

I previously came across OpenTitan, but it's hardware design only, right? It doesn't actually concern itself with bringing up transparent manufacturing process? For example, I couldn't find anything about the costs necessar

I'm not OP, but perhaps you, or somebody else here, could answer my question, albeit one that is slightly off-topic. In the recent years, in part courtesy of cryptoindustry investment, there were many advancements in zero-knowledge mat

This SQLite obsession is getting quite ridiculous. Now they put it in "the Cloud." What a shitshow. I wonder whether they know what SQLite is for... when Cloudflare did it, well, it made sense at least. This new generation of SQLi

The big challenge for me so far has been about setting up "breakpoints" with sufficient prompt adherence, i.e. conditions for agents to break out of loop, and request actionable feedback, rather than pumping as many tokens as poss

I mean, you see this with MikroTik all the time. The recent L3HW-enabled devices (up to 400G now) are so good it's crazy, and European onshore manufacturing, too. However, it doesn't support a subset of legacy "Enterprise&quo
