That wasn't what it seemed like at the time. Amazon didn't post profits, sure, but they sure as hell weren't a giant money suck either, they didn't need billions in financing to ru…

This isn't SDL_gpu, that is part of SDL3. This is SDL_gp, an external lib which builds on the former.

Because it was the CEOs idea?

Deciding on an ISA like RV32I only sets constraints on your architecture, it doesn't give you any of it for free. So I think it's entirely valid to say that it's a custom architect…

I think this largely is about brand protection. They worry that discounting the clothes means they will just cannibalize sales of that brand's full-price clothes.

I really wish I could buy the SpaceX part of SpaceX decoupled from all the AI hopium.

That's not for you to choose, and I'm glad someone is taking on the thankless task of correcting all your misinformation.

I'm a bit surprised that Red still seems stuck at 32 bits, like it was last time I saw something about it years ago. What is the roadblock that prevents them from building 64-bit b…

There are no beefy RISC-V servers. There are no beefy 32-bit ARM servers.

It's a complete fantasy that Debian maintainers do a thorough review of changed packages. It's not a responsibility they have, and it would be impossible anyway (how many packages …

Typst does typesetting like TeX (or InDesign for a WYSIWYG alternative), neither org-mode nor markdown has a rich enough formatting language for general typesetting, like if you wa…

Allow me to propose a modest alternative to space data centers, namely mountaintop data centers. This would consist of a container full of servers and GPUs and what else goes into …

If I want to identify and measure the size of round things in my orange sorter machine, I shouldn't have to resort to an unnecessarily complicated solution just because some AI bro…

They fire everybody and then they bring in way cheaper European developers.

If the slaver is a human, other humans will judge them by human standards. Keeping the slaves ignorant of their condition and alternatives should not make it any more acceptable (i…

I wouldn't be so pessimistic, Intel and AMD aren't going to stop making CPUs, and if their integrated graphics adds AV2 it will be motivation enough for others to follow.

That it's not possible for him to love her back as much as she does. "Requite" is quite an obscure word, I've only ever seen it used in the phrase "unrequited love", which means a …

The certificate issuer doesn't have access to the underlying private keys, so while getting a fake certificate may be useful for MITM [0], undermining the certificate authorities d…

That Musk couldn't even get over the first stumbling block which is the statute of limitations, does not make the win any lesser. It makes it more decisive, since Musk now has to o…

Last commit was 2 minutes ago. Seems like a better measure than releases, different projects have different release cadences.

This doesn't compare like for like, since its comparing the total cost for the local machine with the usage cost for the cloud service, despite the cloud service also needing a loc…

This reads like Apple fanfiction to me. > But then Apple can negotiate on another basis and say, well, if you don’t do us a favor here and give us a better rate, then maybe we won’…

You can to vary the split of the output by cracking heavier hydrocarbons into lighter. So it's not a fixed fraction, but driven by both demand and cost of processing.
