[not an expert so I could be totally wrong] I was also just talking about the physical space. Even if the machines on the entire line have to be replaced it still probably makes se…

One of the good things about these attacks is that it publicizes failings and gives data to good actors inside the government to drive reform. Surely other operators (Intel service…

The lines that would have made consumer-level stuff are being reduced in favor of the higher profit margin/demand products. That means more supply of those other products (but stil…

They didn't know their air speed (because of the pitot tubes being frozen). I think the report says that there was a path to safety if they had kept focused but it wasn't as easy a…

There are two usecases: 1/ general purpose, 2/ customer controlled. Mistral is focused on the second one and every customer, whether it's Boeing or Airbus or Nokia or Glencore, wil…

It's sad that this was heavily downvoted on HN but times really have changed in this community. What you said is just straight up true and not derogatory or misleading.

The eyepieces (and editing views) on that equipment shows the other aspect ratios so they know what will be in and out for the other 99%. Anyway plenty of art is only consumable by…

Which is true. He didn't shoot in 35mm so if you want to get the full shot on the screen you must go to an IMAX theater.

Paid journalism is still often good (Bloomberg, FT). But yeah if you're just going to free sites it's the same as the free newspapers they used to give out for free in the subway -…

It's sort of a cool idea. "Pre-RAM" without the tracking/AI integration so it can be used for clandestine activities in a dystopian future.

Politics and tech have gone hand in hand for generations. Just think about Stallman and free (as in beer) software or encryption export controls or much of the history of computing…

Like 20 years ago

Probably going to the school above is a good start.

> all high end watches are mechanical. No, most high end male jewelry are mechanical watches (and much of women-oriented jewelry as well). High end watches are such a solved proble…

German culture is thorough, not efficient.

I did Philosophy and Physics - each of which I have fond memories of.

The standardization process should weed out 'footguns' that are prone to accidentally (or maliciously) lowering the security bar.

Yeah they're a media conglomerate and their customers are advertisers. They have unstoppable traction with Instagram and Whatsapp and a legacy model with Facebook. There really isn…

If pricing is per-token then in theory the vendor can offer you modes that optimize token usage or quality whereas all-you-can eat encourages vendors to satisfy you just enough to …

This is really important. Unless it's straight up fraud or a safety issue, most market participants are totally allowed to ship garbage (who are we to judge?). At some point when m…

First off range should be based off of 70mph/110kph since that's what actually matters when people talk about range (how far away from home can I get on a full tank?). And 250 mile…

Might also be smart to make the adversary think you are overselling when you actually have the capability.

It's also good for recruiting. They're building a new supercomputer in Edinburgh and I'd imagine it's a pull for certain researchers.

They recommend treatment because the mandate is to keep the animals alive, not whether or not it's good long term for humans. Many doctors and vets though are against the mass use …

The penny doesn't matter but being off by a cent can mean there are serious problems in the workflow.
