knd775··on An update on Wayback Machine access
If they did this, many websites would immediately opt out or block them.
knd775··on The Tectonics Behind the Myanmar Quake
You don't consider that "tectonic activity"?
knd775··on I'm Peter Roberts, immigration attorney who does work for YC and startups. AMA
This is not true. They have been quite clear that Mahmoud Khalil has not been accused of a crime.
knd775··on It's not cheating if you write the video game solver yourself
Okay, but why doesn't he go on these five to seven day trips with his family?
knd775··on The weird afterlife of Xbox Kinect
The 360 one is better for 3d scanning. Xbox one version is better for object tracking.
knd775··on DJI No Longer Blocks Flights over Airports and Military Bases
Not even close
knd775··on CrowdStrike fixes start at "reboot up to 15 times", gets more complex from there
I doubt it was shipped from the factory with CrowdStrike, and if they had enough access to install it, they have enough access to fix it.
knd775··on Huawei Releases Ultra 9 MateBook X Pro with 40W TDP in 980g
No, my comment was entirely based on the fact that it apparently uses significantly less power than the CPU alone is rated for.
knd775··on Huawei Releases Ultra 9 MateBook X Pro with 40W TDP in 980g
They must be running it at its minimum frequency all the time. And/or lying about the TDP. I'd assume both
knd775··on Beeper Mini is back
Yes, but a truly de-googled Android phone is a huge pain. Many apps rely on play services, and the open source alternatives still don't fully work.
knd775··on Mixtral of experts
Memory bandwidth is still a factor, right?
knd775··on The pro-Israel information war
> There was always going to be an opinion war after 1200 massacred civilians, when a large portion of the other side doesn't take the primary tack of "stop bombing Palestine" but instead "Free Palestine".

The West Bank shows what happens if they only stop being bombed without actually being free. Palestine needs to be free in order for there to be peace.

knd775··on Who Controls OpenAI?
Not that I agree with the comment you replied to, but Ilya is absolutely essential to the future of OpenAI. That's why they'd want him to stay.
knd775··on Who Controls OpenAI?
They have been, you're a day behind
knd775··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
We know the org structure. It's not possible.
knd775··on OpenAI's chaos does not add up
Elon left the board because they wouldn't let him be the CEO. That's it.
knd775··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
How could he possibly oust them?
knd775··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
Not gone, just out of power.
knd775··on Older mouse brains rejuvenated by protein found in young blood
> despite looking like an average person his age

That's very charitable.

knd775··on Firefox finally outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider
There are multiple chromium alternatives for this extension.
knd775··on Money is the megaphone of identity (2020)
Not quite doubting you, but you mentioned having a landlord 3 days ago.
knd775··on TikTok is now banned in Montana
> China made that very clear when they announced unlimited friendship with Russia last year.

To be clear, this was before the war and China has since walked it back a bit.

knd775··on Land Ownership Makes No Sense
I guess you haven't updated iOS in a few years, then?
knd775··on Apple Discontinues macOS Server
You don't need the Apple Server software to use a Mac as a server, though.
knd775··on Why I'm in the Army Reserve – an explainer for my friends in tech
I'm not addressing the rest of your post, but pacifism is absurd and pacifists should be dismissed. Pacifism allows those who are not pacifist to impose their will on others.
knd775··on Grant Imahara Has Died
Where's his black bar?
knd775··on Citing revenue declines, Airbnb cuts 25% of workforce
Certainly not by half, though
knd775··on Interpol issues 'red notice' for Carlos Ghosn's arrest
He's actually in trouble in Lebanon now because of this. The article says he entered Israel in 2008, which is illegal in Lebanon since they are technically at war.
knd775··on AMD Q4:16-core Ryzen 9 3950X, Threadripper Up To 32-Core 3970X
You said that you always receive DOA parts. This shouldn't be affected by experience, unless you are damaging them.
knd775··on AMD Q4:16-core Ryzen 9 3950X, Threadripper Up To 32-Core 3970X
As someone who has built at least a hundred PCs, I have to assume that you are either breaking the parts yourself or buying from the shadiest resellers. Or, only built one and gotten very unlucky.
