    idk if you're comparing like-for-like here. I think on EC2, other customers can balloon up to fill your idle time because they're running on the same physical hardware. What this i…

    The kloc fallacy never actually disappeared. Project and engineering managers got wise to the fact that it was only loosely correlated with shipping features, and stopped emphasizi…

    The problem is literacy. Even if you can read and write, that does not mean you can reduce a complicated idea into text. It also doesn't mean you can decode ambiguously worded and …

    Frankly, very few people should be taking either of these drugs. Sometimes I forget how often people pop these things, it's really crazy. Consider just having a headache and dealin…

    If Microsoft leadership thinks that they took a wrong turn in the last few years, they are in for a rude awakening (I hope). They took a wrong turn in the late 90s. Probably earlie…

    So the chefs are preparing food that has the same macros as ultraprocessed meals (I assume like tv dinners or something?) Why do they keep referring to the freshly-prepared food as…

    A ton of vector math applications these days are high dimensional vector spaces. A good example of that for arm would I guess be something like fingerprint or face id. Also, it doe…

    The entire quoted section in the middle adds nothing. It just keeps repeating the same things over and over, and it doesn't answer the question of how we know the offset at all. Ma…

    I can make corn too. I go to the supermarket and hand them these little green pieces of paper, and then I have corn. Seriously, what does this prove? The AI isn't actually doing an…
