    One of many questions at the interview will be asking what hardware they offer and what furniture. I had PTSD from sitting on a cheap office chair and developed massive back pain. …

    Why people are excited about Intel barely matching already outdated CPUs of the competition? Shouldn't we be concerned that the company instead of aiming for the leap is producing …

    You can't copyright an API (ISA) or schematics (as in the wiring).

    Data is still compellable through US Cloud Act (and other provisions). If you want true EU data region, you should buy from a company without presence in the US.

    You obviously live in a bubble. Israel also has Epstein files and other kompromats, so Kransov is in double bind.

    This is a shame, because now I cannot order from Amazon as orders go to building reception and nobody is going to remember the pin to take delivery.

    How do you get around the idea of poisoning oneself? Keeping meat part raw feels uneasy.

    Two birds with one stone for benefit of Putin. Likely son of Ayatollah wanted to get rid of his weak father and Putin wanted the US to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. So Putin a…

    What is the issue here? Seems like Apple wants to own people. If you don't want employees to leave for competition, pay them well enough so they don't entertain the idea. It's alwa…

    To be fair the development of GPUs have stalled over the years. If they kept up with the progress instead of focusing on enterprise market, likely 256GB consumer GPU would be a nor…

    From my experience these open source models are nowhere near the performance offered by Fable/Opus/GPT-5.6. Whenever I tried Qwen, Kimi, Deepseek, the results were much worse and i…

    Anti-corruption regulators are paid to look away. If they start investigating corruption like e.g. Ukraine does, then the EU countries will be perceived as corrupt. The goal of the…

    I used to know someone doing this. They said they know it is too good to be true, but they hate corporations and it's their little way to stick one in.

    I remember calling the whole board "cunts" to their faces. They all laughed. Then I remember CEO only in his underwear emptying bottle of whisky into his mouth, shouting "I'll fuck…

    In many countries it is actually illegal to use tall ladder etc. owners would have to erect a scaffolding to make access for work people to clean it safely.

    "very" close is subjective. In my opinion it is nowhere near running audio through real tape. The computation capability needed to fully simulate tape in real time is not there yet…

    The biggest pet peeve is that you never know whether your request is dealt with by Opus and not Sonnet or Haiku or even something else and you still pay for Opus. You have to ask t…

    My guess is they take the car away from the drop off point to employee pick up point and human drives them away to the "secure location".

    I heard horror stories, where "secure storage area" was actually a field without any security. Not saying this is the case here, but one must be mad to give a car like that without…
