I wonder if it would it allow for quieter data centers too.

It'd be simpler to just have a high LVT and treat it as a credit instead of deductible.

It stops being borrowed?! What kind of question is this.

Had a similar experience reading Jane Austen, it never really made sense to me until I watched the movies

I've been pushing to open source a VLIW assembler/codec generator with some syntax like this but alas may not stay long enough to see it through.

I think root problem here is trying to estimate the net present value of work that may take several quarters to play out. This forces everyone to be fairly conservative in their es…

Transmeta lived on in Nvidia's Project Denver but Denver was optimized for x86 and the Intel settlement precluded that. It ended up being too buggy/inefficient to compete in the ma…

I think that might be it - it was called "Project Air" circa 2011-2015.

I feel like the mistake is not having more local zones of total internal transparency but idk what my org is even thinking nowadays.

Starlink was originally a google idea, originally a sister project to Loon, the founder quit and brought his team to SpaceX and then got fired by Elon. Everyone who repeats this st…

The culture started dying when Sundar took over, layoffs merely accelerated the trajectory.

My experience has been the opposite - older googlers want to work from Tahoe/Vagas. Younger googlers want to meet other googlerrs or just travel and work a few months s year.

I agree tbh but it feels like the current environment doesn't reward risk taking and heads down work, especially with diffuse or longer term payoffs, and our AI efforts are still b…

But then they did nothing to sell their infrastructure because it was seen as a competitive advantage. Google3/Borg ecosystem should have been productized but that'll never happen …

Yeah I get the impression that people don't take as much pride in their work for its own sake anymore - more assembly line worker than master craftsman.

If you can sign in accross sites in incognito, there's clearly some tracking going on.

This is the premise of In Time (film) too.

just make the corporate income tax proportional to the sqrt of headcount and let the market sort it out

just build nukes

1. It's a matter of rates, not ifs 2. It's is a lot easier to track hardware you originated than datayou didn't.

It changes the risk rewards curve and mare it more likely for thieves to abandon the device. If you want a device without node locking and part pairing then go buy one - most andro…

Phone theft is gonna be wild again without part pairing.

I wonder if these are still being produced or if there's just a really big stockpile somewhere - it's weird that they're still showing up so many years later.
