He does explain it in his blog post. He changed it after the erratic communication and actions of RC leadership, then after realising what they were really doing, left them to comp…

What about the PlayStation OS, which is reportedly based on FreeBSD?

In practice, what gets labelled as the L1 cache in a GPU marketing diagram or 3rd party analysis might well not be that first level of a strict cache hierarchy. That means it’s har…

One interesting thing is they seem to have also cloned the number of stars each repo has on GitHub. At least that’s true for a cursory check of a few that I’ve committed to. If you…

So was there ever a deal with OpenAI? Nothing in the keynote mentioned them or needs them. If there isn’t a deal, I’d love to know how everyone claiming it was signed on the dotted…

For me, if you spend your life reading and writing prose or code, text rendering quality is surely paramount. I’m curious what you think the energy should be spent on instead.

It’s way more fun to set a huge pile of VC money on fire.

Just in case anyone reads the parent and the takeaway is you can’t: you can still operate UniFi that way if you want to. The cloud connection and apps are optional.

Agreed. As to the world lived in: most people are so enthralled with money that any risk to earning more in the future is unacceptable to them, sadly. Companies then bank on that b…

The mention of OLED is sideways to the network stuff, it just so happens the device he chose has an OLED screen. The protocol is FreakWAN, so there’s no TCP/IP involved. LoRa devic…

Isn’t DW state-owned by Germany?

They use commodity LPDDR4X or LPDDR5 depending on SKU, for M1 and M2.

Do we know how he cheated in the in-person over the board games? That’s the most fascinating aspect of the story now.

One thing that struck me as I read through was that the computational cost for TLS 1.3 is so expensive that it becomes infeasible to run on the slower machines, resulting in timeou…

The IMEI is trackable and triangulatable geographically as it moves around the network. So it still helps determined actors to find the phone, and therefore maybe the user.

Maybe it wasn’t meant to be taken literally, but it’s difficult to believe he listened to tens of thousands of tracks, which would amount to almost 10 weeks of non-stop music on th…

I was unsure and looked it up, so in case it helps someone else: the person that died in Costa Rica is Mircea Popescu.

I’m willing to see what Ubiquiti will do to make it right before I switch away, because I have a local-only setup of EdgeRouter and UniFi APs that’s been absolutely great in the ye…

I bought a domain to use for my home network instead. I have LE issue a cert for it via DNS challenge and use it liberally with hosts on my LAN, with the excellent benefit that I d…

I have a (probably) related issue on my dual display system where it works on one but not the other, making it just as useless in practice. I still use f.lux as a result.

The iMac Pro was released in December 2017. No real comment on the rest of your thesis, just wanted to correct that little bit.

Graphcore are coining the initialism, therefore I imagine they’re not keen on it being applied to anything other than their design and its novel architectural approach. It’ll likel…

He still is involved with the UFC and is their primary commentator, although he now only calls fights that happen in the US.
