It is an amazing feat and can put the US on excellent footing. But I’m not sure it is a fair comparison because the Space Shuttle also returned a crew with each launch. Starlink ca…

I think the tone of the article was really strong and, to me, it seemed biased because they repeated multiple times that “the buyers only care about looks.” A more in-depth article…

We don’t need to recreate Bell Labs. We have SpaceX and Starlink - that’s where innovation is happening. Compare Dishy to the Starlink Mini (which can run off a power bank), or the…

Exactly what happened to me. These bastards planned that. That’s why they’re one of the richest companies in the world, because they knew how to trip their customers into buying sh…

Don’t forget - they solder in the flash too even though there is no technical reason to do so. Unless “impossibly far profit margin” is a technical requirement.

They will maliciously comply. They might even have 4 sockets for the 512-bit wide systems. But then they’ll keep the SSD devices soldered - just like they’ve done for a long time. …

I tested Llama-3-70b-8192 on Groq against ChatGPT 4, and while Groq ran it super fast, it hallucinated one answer, and didn’t get the logic correct on another question. So, ChatGPT…

If only all tech news were this way. Then I’d waste no cycles on hot garbage.

They’re really light and last a long time, but are not rechargeable.

The time value of money is always more than inflation. The classic simple example is that if you need food today, the money for food is worth much more today than it is worth a yea…

If we had a better Blue Bin system it might work. Remove tags at home and place in compartment of Blue Bin, and at the recycling centre they get sorted out and sent back to the ret…

Sam Bankman-Fried defrauded people. He didn’t intentionally create a digital black market, where everything from hit jobs, narcotics, poison, weapons, and human trafficking could (…

Scam Bankrun-Fraud? Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

The on-his-way-out CEO is David Calhoun. Accountant. https://www.boeing.com/company/bios/david-l-calhoun > Calhoun has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Virginia Tech.

Are we reading the same sources? The ex-CEO, David Calhoun, has a degree in accounting. https://www.boeing.com/company/bios/david-l-calhoun > Calhoun has a bachelor’s degree in acc…

So someone whose dream job is to make airplanes that are innovative, fuel efficient, safe, and long-lasting and economical - goes to… accounting school?

Yes, the Pinecil (both versions) are awesome, and if you buy several and split the shipping with friends, affordable. But a majority of the work was done by the RalimOS project (fi…

Ditto Lucifer and 2 other variants. Does it have the same ring as, “all right, Satan” or is it actually a nice name in Iceland?

Gosh I am not a fan of long articles that read like a mystery novel.

Software has its absolutes - and those are often good things. Security, ability for backup, redundancy, scalability. We value these things. Whether those attributes are applied tow…

Thanks for the article. But then it points to the Betacel, USA 1970s (60 pacemakers implanted by 1973). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betacel I’m not trying to dismiss a wonderfu…

How is this the “world’s first micro-atomic energy battery”? Didn’t the USA do this in 1966? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutonium-238#Nuclear_powere...

Ditto on this. I want to not buy an A100 for $20k, or even consumer GPUs, but the truth is that for LLM inference, to run large models like LLaMa2 70b with INT4 quantization so it …

It also led to MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) and playing God for the therapist. Edit: then again, don’t out the therapist. I don’t want anyone getting sued for libel. The world h…
