If you use github, sure

As a software engineer, I learned what entropy was in computer science when I changed the way that a function was called which caused the system to run out of entropy in production…

I can see how Microsoft and AWS would now favor Wiz competitors now (Orca, Palo, Crowdstrike etc)

The issue is a lot of customers are going to run away from Wiz now, due to all the Google uncertainty.

Why not just set up QR codes that link the location to your phone that the glasses can scan instead of a beacon? You could just as many as you want and slabber them on the wall.

If we figure it out, it might end up being cheaper than fission eventually.

China has better manufacturing prowess than the USA. Their scale is astonishing and they have an incredible ecosystem of components, logistics and labor to make manufacturing hyper…

I don't think anyone in India is buying old American cars

Pretty sure every vendor uses the kernel. There must be a reason behind none of them exclusively using the APIs.

With the crowdstrike outage earlier last year it was incredible how many hidden security and kernel "experts" came out crawling from the woodwork, questioning why anything needs to…

Summarizing in Kevin Malone style - Nvidia good now. Later? No know.

I learned to touch things with a metal object like a key, so the charge spreads out across the part of skin holding the object and the pain is less.

IMO they should be for children under 15.

Trains are pretty efficient as well.

Would be interesting if China uses drones with technology from Taiwan to invade Taiwan.

That would work in the short term. In the long term, jobs would leave the USA so companies won't have to deal with immigration uncertainties.

Why not just auction on the candidate's salary instead of paying a tax to the government who will burn your money anyway.

Only the base salary counts, not the total comp. That 280k/yr sounds like total comp - includes base+bonus+RSUs. The average base would be more along the lines of 150k-190k.

Data centers require an ecosystem of technology to exist - skilled manpower, fiber optic network, grid capacity etc, they're probably not up for it yet.

That title really needs updating in that case, it's very misleading.

They're more pissed about the 1.2M they spent than about the 10k a month they saved.

If its not too much of an intrusion, can you share a picture of your setup?

Anthropic has the same with AWS

Sonnet 3.5 is phenomenal for coding, so much better than GPT or Llama 405 or anything else out there.

There is no cap on number of attempts. I think the 3 attempts you are referring to is the 3 year OPT after you graduate with a degree, companies usually try to sponsor during those…
