Doesn't it seem like there should be some sort of annealing process required? this material being essentially a powder smashed into a tablet form seems like it would likely be a very poor conductor unless the superconducting properties

At this point just get together like 20 companies with a vested interest in ARM being a non profit and buy ARM from Softbank.. ARM charging more and more to show growth for their chips will have an obvious effect on prices of chips across h

I'm familiar with the GPL -- one of the key provisions is that users can redistribute the code -- whether RedHat decides to release one version or zero versions of their code should not prevent anybody from redistributing that code whe

by xt00 3y ago
(paragraphized/reduced verbosity) RedHat has been trying to figure out how to both benefit from open source and also avoid helping others at the same time.. if you think of RedHat the OS as a combination of the linux kernel (worked on

Yea selling an entire OS that consists of a ton of other peoples open source projects—often paid for by other companies to have somebody work on a thing — then when people say “hey we should get a copy of the small tweaks you did to all of

Could somebody who maintains a particularly important open source software change the license to say basically “you must release your source code to anyone who requests it free of charge whether they are a customer or not”? Yes Redhat is a

I’ve always found the git bisect “interface” tedious to use so I do it with a gedit window just writing down how many commits back I jump to etc. Probably the most annoying bisecting is when you have to apply patches to a source tree at eac

Yay a new part of chromium with a new name made by different people (probably) than the original v8 people. Seems like Google has an affliction of “not invented by me”. Just read the first sentence if you are thinking I’m being a bit harsh:

Both the argument about why it’s reckless to speculate this and not knowing if the nukes will work is exactly why having nuclear weapons is a deterrent.. you can basically assume that it would be used as a weapon of last resort so if your p

Saying “hey don’t go down the path we are on, where we are making money and considered the best in the world.. it’s a dead end” rings pretty hollow.. like “don’t take our lunch please?” Might be a similar statement it feels..

ARM is so foundational, it should be bought by 3+ companies like Apple/Qualcomm/nvidia and turned into essentially a Chip ISA Lab where basically all of the companies that want to license stuff can pretty much do whatever they wan

It seems the only reason all of these competitive models are getting released is because you have a number of big players probably freaking out that somebody else is going to break out into a huge lead. So while the flood gates are open peo

Anything that includes client side scanning is a slippery slope to fully controlling your device. Will it be illegal to somehow disable the client side scanning? If so then how long until you are breaking the law when you turn off the gover

The one I used the longest was from 2012 and WiFi worked just fine. I do remember it taking a bit of googling to get it working back then but I think it mostly just works with like Ubuntu 18. maybe I got lucky with my particular WiFi chip o

I’ve been running Linux on MacBook Pro’s for years and the main benefits are: high quality display, excellent trackpad, solid build quality. Yes they are more expensive than other laptops but the display and trackpad especially are 2 things

Reasonable thing to discuss since tons of people (myself included) here would say 95% of the time meetings are a waste of time. But maybe the “hot take” should be if meetings suck then why don’t we fix them. Maybe people don’t want to fix t

From a physics point of view if the satellite is visible by both high density areas and low density areas they are both competing for the same bandwidth so if it was purely a price increase on if you can see the same satellites as high dens

Fundamentally Intel in the foundry business suffers from a major problem.. if their customers can design a chip that they can buy for $50-100 when Intel would normally sell them a similar-ish chip for $1000 then they’ve basically just screw

Every war has collaborators on the enemy side.. so this will be the same.. tons of people will happily load the gun for the AI overlords if it came to that — especially if they make a buck along the way..

If people being in the office is somehow more valuable, then pay them more than remote workers and see what fraction want to be remote vs non remote. Capitalist solution to the problem for all the hardcore “let the market find the solution”

I would assume you have an AC unit as well as a gas furnace — but the AC unit is super close to just being a heat pump, so it’s worth considering replacing your AC unit with a heat pump at some point and turning off the gas furnace to see h

I remember reading Age of Spiritual Machines -- which I guess was published in early 1999, and thinking there is zero chance in 2019 that we would have computers that could even get close to passing the Turing test or behaving like ChatGPT

Last time they did a big layoff the stock went up.. so I guess keep firing people as long as the stock keeps going up is the plan for say people who own lots of the stock.. I wonder who might benefit?

Probably the only useful thing in the article is highlighting that some EVs are so heavy that their stopping distance from 70mph can be a much larger distance than people would expect at over 200ft. It might be safer for the driver of that

Would be interesting to see if there is a strong relationship between the companies doing layoffs and the companies who did WFH en masse and might be thinking a layoff will “encourage” their compliance to come back to the office.

The headset matters a ton as well as the types of games — best to use a high frame rate and teleport only to get acquainted with VR.
