> If deciding what to build is the hard part, why do so many product managers seem clueless? The divide between product managers and developers mimics the artificial divide between…

You think IT professionals lost faith? You should look at teachers. Hate to break it to you, but we're on a dark age, and this whole thing is just another unremarkable development …

That is somehow inaccurate. DDR5 has significantly more challenging requirements. The inspection and quality control equipment is one of those that you can't just reuse without car…

My comment was in the context of fabrication and how that affects the price of DDR4. DDR5 fabrication requires a sub 15mm process, much more complex mounting and lots more testing …

Clicking out to close a dictionary popup only works if you click empty space within the layout center. This is annoying. On a wide monitor, most empty space is on the sides (where …

How to make a people problem worse: - Umbrellas are about people, not rain. - But your umbrella will keep me dry, right? - The materials, the shape, none of it is really important.…

That's it. Which is insane. We used to buy used DDR4 from obsolete servers in buckets before it was going to become e-waste. Now even that one is expensive.

Isn't DDR4 like, old and obsolete? From my knowledge, you can't just take a fab that produces DDR4 and make it produce DDR5 or higher. It's kind of a leap that requires replacing a…

Recipe for delicious pizza: 1. Make extra greasy pizza. Nauseating-level of grease. 2. Put pizza through De-Greasinator 5000. Sounds efficient.

The fact that consumer-level DDR4 is getting more expensive makes absolutely no market sense to me.

If you need a full length blog post to explain it, it's not a good use of the word.

I was really excited about Altar I, but no shipping to Brazil, so I gave up on it. Nice to see the idea continues (consider worldwide shipping would be my only feedback on the idea…

Unironically, yes. It would be totally different.

Likely a 12 factor legacy issue. https://12factor.net/ This was really popular, and lots of people bought the factor III of only configuring via environment variables. The whole po…

This is a well-known, established scholarly fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padapatha > The oral tradition of the Vedas (Śruti) consists of several pathas, "recitations" or way…

The recovery of a possible oral tradition regarding this is likely drawn from comparative mythology techniques, which is super interesting (I'm fascinated by it, personally), but i…

The Rigveda is the the earliest unbroken kept record. The Sumerian tablets are likely older, but they were forgotten and then re-deciphered. The transliterations still carry educat…

Our earliest record is the Rigveda (a written down oral tradition, we don't know exactly how far back it goes). I suggest you try to read it at least once. It's almost incomprehens…

A lot of Dunning-Kruger specialists here, apparently.

I think his explanation is bullshit. From my experience (PixiJS game), Opus can look at things and screenshot. It's slow but it works. The issue is that it doesn't try to make them…

Funny how people are optimistic. The other giant growth leap mankind had happened just before the Bronze Age Collapse. Trade, automation, labor, same recipe. The outcome was a few …

When the French used colorful obsolete uniforms in WWI, it was a skill issue. They had all the time in the world to modernize, but got cocky and made a terrible mistake. The US mad…

I would accept something on the same magnitude in other areas. AI companies promised a lot of things in the beginning. "Cure cancer", "no one works anymore", "intelligence as cheap…

AI companies themselves pitched this. It's their word. Now no one talks about it (obviously), but I remember.
