The problem often is that the new manager can teach their hires to write better code and train them to be new managers. Given that a team leader in such a scenario is often checking for correctness, I am not sure if current LLM based AI w

Thieves are not educated enough to understand the difference and will steal the fiber and try to sell it (with no success) and in the anger, destroy huge swathes of the remaining fibre.

You mean to say there are no shortcuts to improving lives of poor people without actually improving their lives. Only yesterday, there was video of people stealing concrete mix from road construction sites in India for their own homes. EDIT

I think when the the SICP authors said > “Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.” people probably did not realise what it meant, but AI is bringing it to forefront. Huge amount of work

There's a big difference between live discussion and blog. A blog reader can search what something means, live listeners cannot.

But now with AI, this should be "easier" for some definition of easy. In the sense that in the past, this might have taken 15 minutes to write, now with AI, this can take 5 minutes to write by first getting AI to produce a summary

This was the original rule in linux kernel as well. No more than 200 loc per patch. We should also introduce this to git commits and pull request descriptions: 1. 400 chars/10 lines per commit 1b. Not more than 3 commits in the initi

We will find out how much of work is given to people just so that there's a person/company associated with a technical decision. I personally think this might be quite high.

I think Nvidia are being a little disingenuous here. If I understand correctly, Bull/Eviden has already solved this problem and is in production in JUPITER.

I mean, for what it's worth, we have subsidized Anthropic by allowing them to train on copyrighted stuff. (I know it is still legal, and I support the legality, but the economics are what they are with people's content paying a bi

No. I was there in 2012, Redhat's solution was the only solution which would have properly worked. Eventually, the infrastructure developed for measured boot due to these measures allowed Linux to use TPM in it's proper usage, and

Unrelated to this news, but this is so rudimentary, when the correct solution instead is: 1. Make it ridiculously easy to install hardware vendor keys and register it with OS of choice. (like a standardized dialog box in UEFI and a standard

I mean we can talk about the actual naming scheme but essentially yes. It is also an explicit signal of someone different taking over the ownership.

by whateverboat 4mo ago
Better would be to namespace AUR packages. That way, ownership is not lost and we don't need orphaning at all.

There's always a tradeoff between eating crops that will make you sick and kill you when you are 60 vs not eating enough nutritious food that will kill you when you are 40.

Not refuting your point but... Most people who work in tech are not eligible for O1 or EB-1. F1 is a student visa, J1 requires you to go back after finishing your stuff. L1 can actually work but needs to be converted to either H1b, O1 or E

I would turn it differently. The grants are awarded but they come with requirements that are impossible to satisfy without severely degrading the quality of the product. 1. Most grants are one-off before the EU moves onto new fields of gran

We have now sovereign CPUs but we are struggling to get HPC ones. They will be there soon though in 5-6 years. RAM is already possible for Europe to manufacture if they can get the fab. Supply chain remains a question mark for the raw mate

Without those people being trained at the level of grad school in workforce, you would not have enough people to even maintain a good checklist for F35. The program will go down within a year. Grad schools do more than research, they train

I'm probably one of the few people who prefer Linux+KDE stack over macbook software ecosystem. But hardware wise, macbooks are just blowing other laptops out of water after M3-M4. It's not that mac have become much better but that

Today's data center GPUs are essentially overclocked, and so at limit of how much the chip materials can physically handle, and therefore degrade over time. For example, GH200s operate at 1W/superchip but the actual safe power is
