Are you warned about the risks in an active war one? Yes. Does Google warn you about this when you sign up? No. And PayPal having the same problem in no way identifies Google. It just means that PayPal has the same problem and they are also

The problem isn't specifically getting locked out of GCP (though it is likely to happen for those out of the loop on what happened). It is that Google themselves can't figure out that a social media ban shouldn't affect your

We're on Azure and they are worse in every aspect, bad deployment of services, and status pages that are more about PR than engineering. At this point, is there any cloud provider that doesn't have these problems? (GCP is a non-st

Transformers aren't it, though. We need a new fundamental architecture and, just like every step forward in AI that came before, when that happens is a completely random event. Some researcher needs to wake up with a brilliant idea. T

We need something better than RDP for running windows VMs locally. Can't a buffer be memory-mapped or something?

This is trivial to geofence, so I expect this to be one of those that doesn't benefit the whole country.

A $80 x86 mini PC is wildly more powerful than prior Pis - at least so far as my home assistant use-case goes (Pi 4). Of course, the Pi is still king of power consumption (where x86 has improved, somewhat) and form-factor. - $200 PC: https

I wonder if [good examples of] SVGs of pelicans on bikes are "being introduced" into training sets. Some of the engineers who work on this stuff are the kind to hang out here.

I attempted to make a ostree+Nix distro a while back, but ublue didn't exist at the time and the build documentation was a masterclass in obfuscation. Immutable is definitely the future.

One reason is that the JIT needs info on the types passed to the method, which are only available after a few calls. Per the article, a+b could refer to any type of a and b. The only way to know what was used is profiling.
