Gentle reminder that we built a 460MW nuclear powered jet engine in the 1960s that could fly for three weeks on 10kg of fuel. For comparison a 747 at takeoff uses 80MW of power and burns ten tonnes of fuel an hour

"In a society in which the educational system is used as an instrument for the establishment of a homogenized culture, in which the cream is prevented from rising to the top, the education of competent programmers could be politically impalatable." - Edsger Dijkstra, 1972

What if the Hawk Tuah girl wasn’t talking about what we thought, but was instead referring to a classified space-based intelligence satellite, Hawk 2A, engaging in SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) operations? When she said, “Hawk 2A SIGINT on that thang,” was she cryptically

If Meta is serious about 2D apps on the Quest and wants HorizonOS to be more like a general computing platform then I should be able to run horizon worlds desktop editor as a 2D app with spatial components natively on the Quest. Very much like Godot XR and that's a full engine!

So, who killed JFK?

Chip startups be like: -we are doing inference only 😥 -we are doing edge inference 😭 -fuck it we are putting the transformer on the chip 💀 Nvidia be like: -Here is 20 Fucking Terabytes of HBM 💋 -We threw on 4 800 mm^2 reticle limited dies and connected them together for no

The edit you didn't know you needed

htmx.org / CEO of Java Pants (same thing) Considering function size in isolation leads to fake and wrong conclusions. Anyone who puts forth a general rule like this is revealing something. Consider, if you split a lot of your functions into 3 functions each, what burden is added in terms of understanding the program?

the ease of pairing PSVR2 controllers to Vision Pro (then back to Playstation 5, then back to another Vision Pro) highlights the ridiculous friction of trying to re-pair Meta Quest controllers to another Meta Quest.
