What decisions were MBA instead of engineering decisions? It seems like intel has just made a lot of bad bets or failed to put their mass behind good ones.

The heights nvidia has achieved seem incidental and have depended heavily on the transformer/LLM market materializing.

Everything risks aggravating NIMBYism. It's hard to see how housing costs can come down in a lot of cities simply because housing is seen as an investment and people won't idly standby if the value decreases because of policies.

Are you a mathematician? I’m not an expert on the math field but it seems like they are hitting the same issues everyone else has: current LLMs still more or less need to be supervised by an expert and struggle to do something actually novel or build out a complicated proof correctly.

I think it has a key advantage for China specifically though which is it consumes significantly less water and they have a lot of water poor territory.

The oakridge experiment ended and not a lot of R&D has been done on salt reactors. It makes sense that China is still basically in research and testing phases for molten salts.

I think this is the crux of it. The article discusses Ukraine but they weren't making millions of drones, the private capital wasn't there and the bureaucracy that coordinates it wasn't primed until the war.

Personally I never thought it was fine, but the solutions were all bad in some way that made direct venv and requirements files preferable. Poetry started to break this but I had issues with it. uv is the first one that actually feels good.

The API complexity really threw me when I last tried async python. It's very different from other async systems and is incredibly different from gevent or twisted which were popular when I was last writing server python.

It seems more true than the "this is good for bitcoin" meme now that bitcoin seems to track the dollar very closely

Proto as a prefix means it's first or at least before.

Yes but the Chinese state is much more willing to direct capital to where it thinks it should go. The argument w.r.t. geopolitics is usually that the US is late to doing this and now lacks production capacity which is useful for competing.

I suspect they mean it's for sponsoring a green card for an existing employee.

The problem is in the chain of learning required to understand or master something. If you offload the foundational things that you learn and chunk you will hinder yourself. We can see this right now in the reading dilemma in US schools where early decoding skills were misunderstood and it lead to significant struggles later.

The error when you accidentally pass a variable directly instead of in a .{} is also really unclear.

According to TechCrunch it was direct to investors: https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/01/more-details-emerge-on-how...

I sure am. Whoops.

There's other reasons to think it, but 5x wafers on 8x staff seems within the realm of comparable.

That seems a little apocalyptic. She's are a magistrate judge and is making sure evidence isn't destroyed. After the conclusion of the case they will be able to delete the data. The legal system handles this stuff by allowing you to bring in experts which seems a lot more reasonable than every judge being an expert in technical details AND the law.

Javascript hotloading development setups are about the closest you can get to the REPL development loop outside of lisp. I'd imagine lua is similar if the embedding is set up for it.

I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall people extolling the virtues of ISAs when Lambda School adopted them. Then the reputation sort of died off when it turned out they were doing some pretty predatory things. All of that aside however, are bootcamps doing well? There seems to be not enough job openings in software to sustain traditional college graduates right now.

IME people who say this in the workplace tend to overestimate the importance of one aspect (usually the product development itself) and ignore the importance of things like taking a product to manufacturing, getting technical costing under control, or adapting to user needs. There's a lot of fluff in the article, but this part in the conclusion and your statements about "A people hiring A people" or the example of Linus' place in the kernel all align:

> It’s a competitive advantage to build an environment where people can be hired for their unique strengths, not their lack of weaknesses; where the emphasis is on composing teams

There's plenty of otherwise "10x" programmers who go outside of their strengths and suffer for it.

I did an EE degree and the sophmore firmware course used an 8 bit PIC (or a motorola 6800 a few years before). About a third of the semester was entirely in PIC assembly, then C, then advanced stuff in C. I think your idea is pretty viable, and sounds more fun than the comp arch class offered.

Trump is doing things that violate some of the guardrails of the US system. For example, refusing to disburse funds allocated by the legislature. These separations are less of a barrier in parliments. At least in the westminster system. These boundaries have been redrawn before: the federal bureaucracy was basically invented between the 30s and the 60s and SCOTUS's role as we know it was established in the early 1800s.

The data set referenced is about social biases getting in the way of reasoning.

The correct answer without context is that you don't have enough info. Cognitive decline as you age is also a population level phenomenon and we are discussing two separate, otherwise unknown people at specific ages relative to each other.

perhaps if the moat is kept in place by some sort of berm or quay

I remember several traditional programming forums I frequented in the 00s getting hit hard by the Google Panda update around 2013. It ruined their SEO and they started to go into decline. Forums and blogs had a culture that isn't replicated by reddit, social media, etc. It's a shame to lose it.

I try not to be pessimistic about research, but this seems like an undergrad stats assignment. The correlations from other research are just plugged into a simulation with no new understanding for anyone who knows what correlation is.

Successful drug policy meaning what here?

He was convicted and the party of law and order typically views these punitive post release measures to be part of the punishment.

The white house was touting this so it's probably to secure political patronage or will be part of pork barrel spending to get some other bill passed.
