Being completely untainted is the standard many reimplementations set for themselves to completely rule out legal trouble. For example ReactOS won't let you contribute if you have ever seen Windows code. Because if you have never seen

But on inference they have to compete with other inference provider that just has a homepage, a bunch of GPUs running vllm and none of the training cost. Their only real advantage are the performance optimizations that they might have imple

But how would your solution have helped in this case? The guy was probably a paying user, so Google would have already known who he is. He's also 36, so no excluding him based on age. And neither the escrow nor the statement really add

There is however another very powerful aspect of the phrase: it suggests that something is not obvious. This makes it very powerful when correcting someone without making them feel like they said something stupid. "The sun is yellow&qu

Or just add a couple zeros to all the requirements until postgres is a worse solution than whatever the interviewer envisions. Isn't that the point of stating throughput requirements?

If the point of the interview was to test if the candidate can design something that can handle google-scale problems then maybe the interviewer shouldn't state throughput and availability requirements that can be satisfied by postgres

This is almost universally true for every national identity (or however we want to widen the term to include Euro). If you have a good product, you usually lead with that. "Made in X" becomes one bullet point in the list of things

We successfully shamed people out of wearing Google glasses. We also mostly have social norms about when recording with your smart phone is ok. We don't need to accept defeat about these glasses just yet

Better example then: I assume the TV series 24 will be banned for glorified depictions of torture and violence. Real actors portraying torture as an effective investigation method for high-stakes anti-terror investigations, despite being il

Funnily enough "It isn't only X, Y too" doesn't trigger my AI-sense nearly as much as "It's not just X, it's Y". Similarly in the above quote the "It's not just U. It's not just V. It&#

Much better than they did half a year ago, but a single RTX 6000 won't get you there Models in the 700B+ category (GLM5, Kimi K2.5) are decent, but running those on your own hardware is a six-figure investment. Realistic for a company,

For the main camera there are cases with sliding covers for many phone models. Marketed for protecting the lens from scratches, but quite effective for privacy as well For the front camera that's a lot more difficult. You could probabl

Yeah, we could have just standarized around a path to api specs. Maybe .well-known/openapi.yaml Maybe it's cynical, but the best reason I can come up with is that 'established common url for api specs' does not sound nea

What we need are tractable experiments to test these theories. Maybe ASI can help design these. Until it can, it will just be another voice arguing for one position over another on pretty weak arguments. Right now my money would be more on

The wikipedia article traces it to Persian, which formed it as a compound of words from different East Iranian languages. So you are on the money with Middle Eastern. From there it spread to the Balkan via Ottoman Turkish, and also from Per

I would agree that most crypto is not very good money. It's more like a speculative investment that just happens to be easy to exchange I don't think fake money is the right term though. It's just as much money as the US doll

It is semi-competent at making SVGs. Which are the only kind of images I really need in dev work. For marketing or personal stuff I do sometimes want images, but I don't really mind going somewhere else for that
