Stack Exchange is shrinking rapidly and has no idea when the bleeding will stop.
I imagine they needed to buy new hardware, and that investment makes a lot less sense if you expect *less* traffic next year, not more.
The generic spin about not having to go to the data center is serious cope in context.
The reading between the lines here, is that with traffic down 80%+, they aren't saving money running their own stuff anymore. I'm sure the reality is, refreshing old hardware that they would buy, doesn't make sense when they have no expectation the bleeding will stop. So cloud.
The spin about "no one having to drive to the data center" like its AWS marketing from 2015 feels like some serious cope in context.
Read the actual article, what they did, was tune a system to get the best results possible from ~80 case studies based on rules they devised for success.
That is not, even a little, the same as having it evaluate patients.
These articles are just exhausting. The tech is cool, but no, they don't have an 80% accuracy in diagnosing patients compared to a doctor's 20%.
Yeah. And that "random" podcast includes experts in the field explaining this in detail.
Even if it's just some AC, it scares me how dismissive people are of actual science now. They've found something to panic about, and by god, they're sticking to it.
What you said is exactly what they go into. Because labs have so much plastic in them, and the procedures that measure them require burning that can break other chemicals down into things that look very much like plastic, plenty of studies have been off by literally many orders of magnitude.
Basically all actual experts say yeah, wait for someone to replicated it, the single study, should not be a headline outside of the circles of actual experts.
Microplastic studies have been so wrong so many times, I just can't muster the freakout until other people replicate the results.
While I'm about as big an Elon detractor as there is, you know, I like him on this. Not $4.20 specifically, but that he's happily unserious about the things that aren't serious.
The Model 3 being named the Model 3 is still funny.
It's OK to keep things a little weird.
"Mozilla however has been a dumpster fire since they ousted Brendan Eich."
Kind of begrudgingly . . . yeah. That's it. They've had bad times ever since. They need an engineer back in charge. They need their Lisa Su or Jensen Huang, someone who really, deeply understands what they can and can't get done, and can really focus their development on the things that get the most for the least effort.
They haven't had that since Brendan Eich. And it's been a mess in a lot of ways.
I'm optimistic about a lot of what they're doing now, the renewed focus on Firefox, the mail service that's coming, feels like they're really pushing their core strengths, but a lot of the criticism is well-earned at this point.
100% this is about giving these big tech companies data on the students, and instead of paying the students or giving them a discount, telling them they are getting something for free.
At the risk of sounding overblown, this may be the moment higher education in this country really dies to business. They're behind the eight ball in enough ways already, and this just feels like the final death throes.
May very well be the marketing person whose job it is to pretend that they're job has been replaced by AI.
Sure, but what I mean is, Fedora is probably a bigger chunk than is being counted, as while you may not use Flatpak, a large number of Fedora users do, and I think Flatpak is #3 or #4 in the rankings.
You probably are. They count the flatpak runtime all in one big blob, and I think most Fedora users are actually in there, not in the Fedora category.
Seriously. Did we spend all this time putting the names of everyone who flew across an ocean in a jet in newspapers?
It's silly. They're reach people doing tourism. No one should care, no media outlets should be boosting them.
NASA is getting constant attacks and defunding, and we're reporting on this nonsense like it's space news . . .
Seriously, it will help boys, probably white boys, the most. They're not like, grading on a curve to include things like a family's background, but making the grade entirely exam based, to eliminate teacher bias.
It's been well known for a long time, sort of an open secret in K12, that girls get better grades, but boys do better on exams.
There was this push a few years ago, to drop ACT/SATs because they were sexist. The argument was that since girls get better grades in K12, and better grades in college, it must be the tests that were biased since they don't do as well on the tests. By all means, let's make the grading more like the tests . . .
This will help the kids who have access to things like tutors (rich white kids) and boys, the most.
Wrong kind of hopeful for Google.
There was no money on the Enterprise . . .

Downright dystopian.
Seriously. They might as well tell us how many iPods the new U2 album is on.
This is one of the most blatant advertisements ever. It's almost worse if
