Influencing change is more complicated than that. We live in a society that has systems of market competition between companies and economic/military competition between countries.…

The people of hacker news seem to really want this to be some sort of conspiracy. It's quite interesting to see. "It's deliberate sabotage by Amazon", "It's retribution by Hegseth …

Look - it's WAY more fun to just call Dario a goober than engage with the actual substance of the essay. Duh! Sure, this may be the most important invention ever with near certaint…

Or, slightly more direct: .1kW*h/GB * .125GB/s * 3600s/h = 45kW Those are some goofy numbers. Obviously incorrect.

That’s an internet argument. The legal issue being debated in actual courts has never been “does Facebook have the technical capability to remove content”.

But Google is willing to host their content in search, right? They're just not willing to pay since there's no revenue benefit to search hosting it. It seems like Danish media does…

That's a bit revisionist. Network effects were obvious when Google acquired Youtube. Google Video had the edge technically, but it didn't matter because Youtube had the users/conte…

Municipalities are generally preempted from regulating matters of statewide concern. In CA, the state decided to have the CA DMV regulate operational safety and the CPUC regulate t…

Oracle Chrome, Ha! I wouldn't even be surprised if that's exactly how it plays out.

Ah, you're right. I was wrong to say "public domain". It would be more correct to say Quake III Arena was released to the public as free software under the GPLv2 license.

Fast inverse square root is now part of the public domain. Also, even if this weren’t the case you can’t sue for damages to other people (they’d need to bring their own suit)

For enterprise, Google has something called Vertex AI which has a strict privacy policy but you have to pay just like any other typical cloud service. Presumably Gemini 1.5 will be…

what do you mean? If you've ever used a VR headset you'll know the weight is extremely important when it comes to comfort. This isn't just a random marketing metric.

A lot of patent trolls are very small companies though

I got something totally different when I asked: https://g.co/bard/share/d5830c43d539

Gatik has yet to remove safety drivers as I understand it.

Eh, it depends. I don't know if this is the case, but if these images were released to press & public as part of a media resource pack with a permissive license used to market the …

Other ridehail products like uber or lyft have 100% human intervention all the time. I think that's what the parent comment is referring to.

I was referring to the graphic they showed during the announcement that verbatim said the CPU was "up to 20% faster than M1 Pro". https://images.macrumors.com/t/wMtonfH5PZT9yjQhYNv…

You're not considering the difference in performance between the p and e cores. The math should be something more like: M2 pro = 8*3 + 4 =28 (the *3 representing that the performan…

I guess we'll have to wait for benchmarks but I did find this interesting: Apple's PR release for M2 pro: "up to 20 percent greater performance over M1 Pro" Apple's announcement fo…

I love Apple's E cores. It just sucks that the M3 pro gains so few given the reduction in P cores. Apple's E cores take up ~1/4 the die space of their P core. If the M3 pro lost 2 …

In addition to the reduced memory bandwidth, the M3 pro also loses 2 performance cores for only 2 more efficiency cores. M2 pro: 8 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores. M3 pro: 6…

Precisely. If you chose your product/company name to be a common word in the english language you should expect it to be more difficult to exclude others from using it too. I don't…

I'm not convinced it's a bad thing for hiring or compensation committees to consider relevant experience/education. Agreed on gender/race/age. That should be made as blind as feasi…
