I met a genius network engineer once who was in a "relationship" with a woman in South America who was obviously fake. He would proudly show me her messages to him that were obviously stolen from some IG or OF model. The texts wer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like the electrical version of "water hammer" in pipes. The electrons have velocity. When you suddenly change the impedance of the medium, the extra electrons already on the medium tha

So correct me if I'm wrong, but you'll still be allowed to push public commits to a public RISC-V related repo, but you'll need a special government license to resolve issues opened by anyone related to China?

I think most of that was coming from the (then) next generation JS crowd who was trying to fit everything into one neat little box. They've since burnt themselves out and found the limitations in their approach during the process.

I find the contents of that whitepaper to be interesting and full of valuable information for anyone looking to make a decision on such services. I do think that it would be technically possible to, eventually, abuse this system. The proble

Apple is a market leader in its industry and one of just two major mobile OS providers. Firefox is a web browser. One of dozens. And not even one of the biggest. They'll figure it out. They've been keeping that train moving since

Is it still unprecedented if it's common knowledge that they do it all the time, and have been doing it for decades? I mean they really don't even hide the fact that they clone pretty much any commercial product we send them. Most

I always thought it was weird that something so complex, easy to mess up, and important to the government would require a third party external dependency. For a while towards the end it really kinda became a shining example of late stage ca

What do you think Linux would look like today if the kernel team was friendly and outgoing and willing to put on kid gloves and help all the newcomers? What would it look like if everyone's code were "good enough"? What would

If we do that you'll have two social classes. You'll have the price fixed low income housing that looks like it belongs in a Command & Conquer game and you'll have the corporate owned HOAs that are just out of control exp

I would argue we need to put limitations on what entities can purchase residential property. There is no reason a corp needs to own a 2 bedroom house. It is manipulating a critical market and destabilizing everything. Push them out of the m

I agree with the sentiment, but I believe your motorcycle analogy is a bit flawed. Bringing a motorcycle to a 5K is obviously cheating. The motorcycle is a factor of 10 faster than its closest competitor. That is not where LLM/AI is cu
