    I really don't see how they're going to be google here. The free tier is dominated by verticle integration and the platform that people use. Long term I imagine google wins the bot…

    Not really a price thing nor an infra thing. US has really cheap energy and far more compute by a very large margin. The real reason is chinese gov wants to crush US ai industries …

    That example, if you never came in the only thing an observing boss would likely know of is that you failed to do a task. It's also super easy for that FPGA engineer to not tell ot…

    I mean a black looking person complains about a problem and you instantly can guess that because he's black and something is more common you can come to a conculsion faster. It's n…
