way too much
gchokov··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants
Samsung? Really?
gchokov··on Boinc lets you help cutting-edge science research using your computer
Is there any success stories out of this program?
gchokov··on Apple broke iPhone web apps in the EU for anticompetitive reasons – Tim Sweeney
Apple is in their right to do whatever they want with their platform. Tim Sweeney will be remembered with the guy who cries against anything Apple does, together with the guy from Ruby on rails.
gchokov··on ‘This Has Been Going on for Years’: Boeing’s Manufacturing Mess
Yeah they did the correct thing, only to get their airplanes falling like apples.
gchokov··on Duolingo fire translators in favour of AI
Interesting use of "Fire" rather than "let go". Fire will always get more eyeballs though. But these people did nothing wrong.
gchokov··on How Google perfected the web
I won't read it. I've been around for some time. Feel free to read clickbaits.
gchokov··on How Google perfected the web
Google does everything else, but not perfecting the web. The examples are everywhere.
gchokov··on Buffett once bet $1M that he could beat a group of hedge funds over 10 years
What if Microsoft shares went to $0? Diversification is risk management, not optimisations of returns in the sense you present this.
gchokov··on Gemini AI
Improvements over GPT-4 are marginal. Given that this is Google, I.e. privacy doesn’t exist, I will not touch it tool at all.

I wish something like this existed on MacOs :/
gchokov··on Switch Transformers C – 2048 experts (1.6T params for 3.1 TB) (2022)
Google is dead in the water. Their products are hard to use, all of them. Remember when you can setup most of the GA & Ads stuff for your business yourself? Gone are the days. UI is clustered, broken, stupid. You need advisors and professional services for simple things. It’s only Google.com that keeps things afloat. The CEO is retroactive, and doesn’t know what the right and left hands are doing. Google will be gone in 10 years.
gchokov··on AI photo editors are ushering in a distrust of everything we see
Guess what? They were never real. From day one. I am sure Wired can do better than posting clickbaits.
gchokov··on There Is No Moral Argument for Staying on Twitter/X
A lot of bold claims, that somehow float in the air without any proof.
gchokov··on Mark Spitznagel says the ‘greatest credit bubble in human history’ is set to pop
All of the doomsayers are once in a while right..
gchokov··on My Overkill Home Network
My first thought is - imagine hiring this guy to architect your corporate network. The cost would probably be 10x for hardware, for the "just in case" factor and coolness to the setup...
gchokov··on Why can’t you just roll back from a bad macOS update?
Unpopular opinion: I haven’t had a bad update in the last 12 years. Yes, there were some bugs here and there, but nothing dramatic that wanted me to switch back.

The worst thing was Intel’s heartbleed issues that killed the CPU, it was around the 8th gen i7 if my memory is correct.

gchokov··on US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles
wow.
gchokov··on ChatPDF – Chat with Any PDF
aaand.. another one
gchokov··on Google says hackers could silently own your phone until Samsung fixes its modems
Why are people still buying these phones? - They fake your pictures - i.e. replacing the real moon with a fake one; - Full of vulnerabilities in the wild.. all the time; - Shady connections with Asia

the list goes on and on.

gchokov··on Lemon-derived nanoparticles block the progression of kidney stones
Similar stones here, all of the advices are spot on.
gchokov··on Lemon-derived nanoparticles block the progression of kidney stones
I just passed 6mm kidney stone - the stone itself travelled its way out for 2 months. It’s calcium oxidate based, so no chance of easy dissolving.. if it’s possible at all. I’ve had maybe about 4-5 days of strong, sometimes unbearable pain that I was taking painkillers for (without that much an effect..). Then few weeks of pain low down there.. Doctor wanted to give it a try for a “Via naturalis” passing, to which I agreed (no regrets). I have few more stones, with smaller sizes now... My doctors always recommended me beer with some lemon in it. Once in the past, I passed a kidney stone for less than 24h of the first pain (about 4mm) right after drinking 3 liters of beer. This whole thing sucks.
gchokov··on [dead]
What a crap article. It's a low quality click bait, with half a page essay into "creative" article. Half a page of purely subjective language of someone that has never seen the actual product.
gchokov··on I was banned because of a security flaw in Facebook’s password recovery system
I doubt Zuck banned you, but if you say so..

That was a feature of google translate many years ago. Absolutely nothing new.
gchokov··on Bard and new AI features in Search
Sundar did nothing but failed projects. Google is still where it was many years ago.

You can’t, just like with A LOT of other medicines.
