    If you've collected data on a California resident with the intent to profit from its sale then you're doing some type of business with respect to California

    The company would have to not have any interstate presence at all. If you are a business based in the united states that has customers in California, you are easily reachable under…

    This is part of why my text editor is built from source on my own branch where I only occasionally pull in changes from master. I know I'm probably a very rare exception here.

    Some jobs are also just so much that there's little room for doing something so similar to your work after you get home.

    I would assume the 200K lines of software and the firmware is presumably flashed after receiving the product from the assembly house.

    Technically open source requires some amount of monetary volunteering, it's just that the electricity to run a code editor and compile (most) open source code bases is within hobby…

    It's not haphazard, it's a circular orbit. And at those altitudes satellites move at a little over 7km/s.

    I find C++ beautiful only when I come across simple, powerful things that use the minimal amount of advanced language features possible

    Satellites flying at 360km (the target altitude for starlink V3) deorbit very quickly without regular burns. Dead starlink satellites are guaranteed to come down within 5 years.

    Just coverage is already provided by the 600-something direct to cell satellites already in orbit yes, but you need more if you want it to be useful beyond loading text-only posts …

    Starlink actively works with radioastronomy sites to avoid causing interference. They've posted about this before.

    One difference is you usually only get one shot to manipulate a human before they get suspicious. If the LLM's context resets you can try all over as if your first failed attempt d…

    It was more that IT considered the college-hosted git instance "experimental" still, in multiple project courses we were required to use college hosted version control as part of t…

    When I went to college (early 2010s) professors were still encouraging students to use SVN, so I probably have a fair number of peers who didn't learn git until they got out into t…

    If you're big enough you can get direct access to Nvidia engineers, and they are usually transparent when they find out the bug was in their software and send you a patched version…

    When you run CUDA at scale dealing with nvidia driver and library bugs takes up a disgustingly large percentage of engineer time, I don't know a lot of people who would be looking …

    If you make over $130k then you make enough that you can be worked 24/7 without violating a $15 minimum wage + 1.5x over 40 hours per week.

    Hard to compete there when most of the margin is going to NVIDIA, pretty much impossible if you don't have the scale of Dell/Supermicro/etc

    Interesting, I just tried it and it got server-side the first try, although it wants to insert a hyphen. I did download the larger dictionary from their site.

    Not sure how much data they retained but it's possible they also have the _input_ tokens, and in the "early" days (how far everything moves in just a couple years...) more of those…
