    Its an open question if model weights are even copyrightable. So the license may not mean anything.

    Physical hardware products shouldn't lose features after launch. If this was a "mistaken" feature which they suggested it was they should have disabled it on future chips.

    Wickard V Filburn is simply bad law... The federal government has way too much power and MUCH more than was ever intended. Its not a feature it is indeed a bug. One caused by the S…

    Excel needed the x87 as well as they cared about maintaining the 80-bit precision in some places to get exactly the same recalc results. So they would have fixed it eventually most…

    Ah but see the most important piece of information is not what the manufacturer specifies. Most mechanic friends would tell you manufacturers are over-extending the interval to mak…

    Ask a mechanic friend how often to do an oil change and they will 9 times out of 10 give you an answer without asking what model of car.

    You'd still want in transit encryption. There are other methods than centralized trust like fingerprinting to detect forgeries.

    The most likely culprit was talking to other nodes via their public IP instead of their local ones. That gets billed as interent traffic (most expensive). The second culprit is you…

    To be fair they had to lift the plane off the bottom of the Hudson river. It was literally under water. I'm not sure what your expecting in that case.

    I was a bit surprised by this take, because I never questioned you would get the luggage back if it survived. Having looked into it more I was pleasantly surprised that even in cas…

    Anecdotally I’m starting to see a more people switch to my spreadsheet app. Not something that should be possible if the MS ecosystem was healthy. https://www.sumbuddy.net

    It was different where you were but the billG and early Ballmer years devs had a lot of power. Like to the point where PMs had training on "soft power" or more bluntly how to get a…

    AWS is degrading on all fronts. If your a large scale business you almost certainly hit stock-outs during peak periods - the elasticity is a lie. If you are a mid scale its high pr…
