Had the pleasure of having dinner with Vint one evening. Such an amazing person. So incredibly humble and one of the most genuine people Ive ever met. As an aside, I asked him dire…

I wish Zach would start making games again. :-(

> What does this even mean? It means over 18,600 engineering hours have been spent working on vehicle safety. This is a pretty common metric.

This reminds me of being told dogs don't feel emotions by someone who never owned one. Parrots most definitely can talk. Their language is extremely primitive but if you've ever be…

There were plenty of them around when I worked at Nvidia. They definitely exist.

I don't expect the ram situation to get any better soon if that's what you're asking.

Sometimes it's because the original mix was for theater surround sound and lower mixes were generated via software.

Never thought I'd say this, but I kinda miss Jobs.

That's not how ethical disclosure works. Both parties should publish and we, the wider tech industry should see this as a good thing both for the hacker and the company that worked…

Not exactly. Infra will win the race. In this aspect, Google is miles ahead of the competition. Their DC solutions scale very well. Their only risk is that the hardware and low lev…

Bubba was allegedly a nickname for clinton.

I don't recall this in snow crash

It's been like that forever. Makes it very hard to take the NBA seriously.

> The only real solution is strong privacy laws around gov usage and strong courts willing to enforce it. I don't think this is a solution, personally.

Can a pi achieve the same iops? I'd be highly suspecious of any such claims.

VScode has a bit of a history now of quickly deprecating competitors who innovate in this space. It already has good options for code completion, AI chat bots, and more features on…

Wow. What an intelligent take. I would have never expected this from Ben Affleck. He seems extremely familiar with the technology and it's capabilities and limits.

Thank you for sharing. I recall blackice. I'm not seeing anything here would lead me to believe he's an expert in this particular domain though, which is more about nation state in…

And what exactly makes "Robert Graham" such an expert in this particular domain? I don't know who this person is or why I should trust their personal blog over the NYT. The article…

> the programs he has written. This is authority bias. Being a great programmer does not make one an expert in political propaganda, the inner workings of government, or the media.…

I would gladly accept a bit of a slow down on progress if it meant my contributions to society were more meaningful. Additionally, I strongly believe this continuous dwindling of s…

Correct. There are a variety of solutions. Each DC is somewhat unique, but in general water isn't a huge concern. Cities make a big deal about it b/c they want the hyper scalers to…

Water is much less of an issue than the media makes it out to be. It's a problem in some specific areas, yes, but power is a much better concern.

DC infra is always allocated in terms of watts. From this number, everything else is extrapolated (e.g. rough IT load, cooling needed, etc).

It shouldn't matter how many libraries npm supports.
