I am former AWS and this is pretty accurate. The other factor to add here is that, with some exceptions, the whole company feels like a Rube Goldberg machine and very few people ca…

The slower car should signal the moment they decide they need to merge into the lane, then wait for an appropriate gap.

I’m sorry but that is an insane interpretation of turn signals. If you only turn them on once you’re about to execute the maneuver, they’re useless. The whole point of them is to w…

I would be interested to hear what advantages you find Antigravity CLI has over Claude Code.

I keep hearing this thing about apps and I'm confused. I write code on my MBA M1, run orbital simulations, run a media server... All like I would on Linux. What am I missing on use…

People in Germany and the Netherlands must extra hardened I guess, since everyone bikes around there, even with their kids in tow.

How is it worse for men?

Where do you get these?

After so many years, so many people still believe in this user control paradigm. Giving users control works for the slim percentage of power users. Most users will end up obliterat…

Indeed there was a split second of primal flight response, and then awe. Not like you have a long time to think about it!

I was lucky enough to see this one live. It was astounding. It became day for a few seconds and then it broke off into a half dozen pieces or so. It left an incandescent trail behi…

Not disputing all of that, but telling the GP flat out "no" is incorrect, especially when distributed training and inference are the only way to run modern massive models.

There are multiple ways to train in parallel, and that's one of them: https://pytorch.org/tutorials//distributed/home.html

I haven't touched this in a while, but you can train NNs in a distributed fashion and what GP described is roughly the most basic version of model parallelism, where there is a cop…

How is Germany similar to the US? Perhaps in the enshittification of society, but certainty not in the forces that drive innovation. Germany could be that innovation hub in Europe,…

I also don't get it. I worked there for 8 years. I'm southern european and there was always a "half joke" about our lazyness. But we worked the hardest. My local colleagues were in…

Off topic: was Kunming's slogan still "civilized Kunming"? I found it pretty funny when I was there some years ago.

In which European country is triphasic power for houses becoming normal?

As someone with 0 idea about semiconductors development: How does making your own chip compare to using FPGAs when you need low quantities? What things can you do with your own IC …

The point of the conversation is how people express these relationships in their day-to-day so they can be encoded in software. Would your grandparents' contact be saved on your ph…

It's a station from DLR in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan: https://www.dlr.de/eoc/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-5287/102...

Any recs on security follows on Mastodon?

But then you look at Japanese (and other far east) websites and they're full of info, buttons, links, etc. Like old western websites! I've always wondered why we diverged so much o…

100%. I'm also a Spaniard and immigrating next year to Bay Area and I can say that I'd only move to a handful of cities in the US. The cultural shock was too hard in places outside…

Great writeup, thanks! How did you check your phone's time synchronization?
