No one can explain why regulators refuse to regulate corporate behemoths without this model. And being on the payroll is played very differently now: consider the Pelosi family investment strategy as it relates to big tech. Bribes are not r

I read it this way, too. In fact, I found the whole thing to be an apology for the continued expansion of asking for more than is reasonable among those who refuse to learn concern for others, or worse, social cues in a given culture. The &

That is a good study, and it does explain one of the behaviors. But do not discount the importance of powerlessness in these behaviors. People who have relatively less power in their work, their surroundings, their relationships, there abil

There are only 4 names I need to remember for the remainder of my career to be satisfied with my SSD needs: David Goeckler (CEO) Michael C. Ray (GC) Robin Schulz Samsung

This is healthy thinking. China might not be a place where there is any censorship, nor goons rounding up Uyghers, nor restrictions on travel, nor foreign-country-located police stations hounding ex-pats to return home under threat to their

Being a free-speech-focused hacker in China seems like it would be harder than in the US.

How about "going to prison for sharing books is a human rights violation?" Or do you live in a place where that feels normal?

Somewhere there is a production codebase containing a particular sequence of check-ins that reflect the peak of my similar flailings. I am not proud of my desperation, but I can acknowledge it now.

Sweet. Now I need to devise a patch to re-enable Low Regenerative braking. It's still in there and drivers in China had it restored earlier this year.

I, for one, am skeptical of everyone who still calls themselves a journalist.

Perhaps the author meant "clenching."

Gosh I spent a lot of time contemplating a sojourn into backyard metalcasting. Building my own lathe was a longtime dream.

The best software engineers I ever worked with were all C programmers. Further, and quite separate, the term "software engineer" was coined on behalf of assembly programmers, whose language lacks even further features. Finally, I

Why is the NYT so willing to be complicit to his fraudulence? Or at least, trying to sell the reader on the idea that being charmed by a fraud is acceptable? I find it galling. When one of the Davids does magic, we know what they mean. Gell

New York's "I'm bad at being an AI lawyer" law still needs some attention.

False dichotomy and flatly wrong, on both counts. Further, my favorite line: "It is real alpha to ignore the allure of novelty."

A regressive tax that burdens NYC citizens in the interest of business. The voices of the outer boroughs have been quelled.

I agree with your take. My plugged into the wall machine is a 128GB 13900k 4090 system. My mobile machine is an Apple Silicon Macbook Pro. There are some tasks that are still better on the unified memory of the Macbook, but only a handful.

It's been this way for decades. Consider Feinstein's permanent, steadfast, and sweeping support. She asked completely a performative set of "questions" about its abuse in 2017, along with a lot of pro-702 data. Mostly, s

Misrepresenting wholly fabricated case law to a judge out of sheer incompetence has been grounds for disbarment in at most US States for over a century. ChatGPT told me that. It might be true.
