It's easy to fall into a negative mindset when there are legions of pointy haired bosses and bandwagoning CEOs who (wrongly) point at breakthroughs like this as justification for AI mandates or layoffs.
Reminds me of a recent finding that attention lapses in a sleep-deprived brain correlate with flushing of cerebrospinal fluid (almost a garbage collection pause). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45771636
That's not the point of his piece, and spending time virtue signaling to the reader would undermine the message that this kindness is a form of grace, given freely without expectation of reciprocation.
There is a finite and relatively narrow range of ratios of CPU, memory, and network throughput in both modern cloud offerings and bare hardware configurations. Obviously it's possible to build, for example, a machine…
There's a lot of population centers in the US that could be better connected without crossing the Rockies. Beijing to Shanghai is roughly the same distance as Chicago to New York City. Travel time via train is 4.5 hours…
You're right that the orange man has been a big factor, but not because of his effect on the stock market. The stock market isn't the economy, and most Econ PhDs are not working on modeling stock prices. As the article…
A great solution to this problem, but it doesn't seem like this approach will generalize to problems in other fields, or even to more suble coding confabulations that can't be detected by the compiler or static analysis.
I've started calling them "acoustic" bikes, like non-electric guitars. Not technically accurate, but folks almost always get it and smile.
Unbelievable that they'll be selling the federal buildings in downtown Chicago in this property market. Very short-sighted to give up those prime locations in a fire sale.
You're probably right, but Netflix does a good job building their engineering brand by writing up and sharing their technical work publicly.
Except according to Graeber those jobs exist because leaders, companies, and society like having lots of employees doing this work for various reasons and we all more or less tacitly agree that the output of those jobs…
However, they require constant human monitoring and interventions from those humans every few miles to work properly - and it's not clear that the need for those interventions will be solved with more training data.…
Why wouldn’t they? This technology is not a competitive advantage for their company, wouldn’t make sense for them to sell as a standalone product, and it helps their engineering department attract good talent.
I expect that, over the next few years, companies that need to lay off workers will spin their mismanagement by claiming they are replacing those jobs with "AI".
This is a great idea, but I think the rush to find an alternative is premature - there's going to be a huge shift in the RSS reader landscape over the next few months, and the best alternative may not even be announced…
While what you say is true, I disagree with you in tone. Adobe makes money from Flash by selling licenses to the tools. During the long period of platform growth, developer community growth and turnover helped maintain…
Let's say that there are many wealthy buyers who can easily afford to buy a Porsche. However, Porsche sets up a dozen dealerships in remote corners of the desert, each separated by miles of dirt road. Each dealership…
It seems unlikely that the type of people who shepherd Wikipedia pages in their free time would fail to notice and immediately report that type of censorship. The proof would be unnecessary - even the implication that…
Looks like a heavy-handed attempt to maintain their culture - as uncouth as it may be.
The chart cuts off after 3 years - the point is that the original iPhone was supported with the current version of iOS for 2 years after the last one was sold (minus two days - iOS 4, the first version to drop support,…
His contributions to the community were released under liberal licenses and will undoubtedly be widely available tomorrow. Heck, you can `apt-get install diveintopython` on an Ubuntu system. However, a lot of links just…
The hardware in an iPhone really isn't that important as long as the interface is responsive. Apple has consistently made choices that ensure that performance can be squeezed out of slower hardware. These include…
Oops, I even checked before posting and didn't see it, though I was looking for it on the bottom right.
I wonder how many iPhone users realize that the Maps app on their phone is powered by Google maps?
