I think this will take as long as it takes people to figure out that doomscrolling social media is not to their benefit.
Re:Tesla takes on $30B in credit as it approaches unprofitability on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @01:51AM (#49904874)
Invest the $30B into AI build-out with a company called SpaceX, nice. SpaceX invests some more Cybertrucks, nice.
> The flight from Melbourne back to Toulouse covered 12,460 nautical miles in total, according to Airbus.

> To handle such ultra long-range flights, Airbus describes the aircraft as being equipped with an extra rear center fuel tank capable of carrying 20,900 liters (5,521 gallons). That extends the aircraft range by 1,000 nautical miles to ensure it can cover the nearly 10,000 nautical miles for the nonstop flights between Sydney and either London or New York.

How did they bridge the gap of 2460 nautical miles?

No, he's in Switzerland. Unexpectedly, I must say, as many big tech including AI labs are expanding here

These are just 2, what happened to all the other 1999 tech companies?
Re:Shiller PE Ratio on Thursday September 25, 2025 @10:44AM (#45373225)
Because of the implication that markets are moved by amateurs and their hope?

I wasn't aware there is a channel where Google asks for feedback or where you are able to tell them that you love it. I only see a "report a problem button". Which channel is it?

Re:OpenAI dropped the price of o3 by 80% on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @02:00AM (#44244610)
80%? So this is either same Trump style "art of the deal" with setting unreasonable pricing in the first place or desperately needing customers?
Re:Show HN: Nue – Apps lighter than a React button on Tuesday April 01, 2025 @03:38AM (#43543911)
Regarding Rust, are we talking about a Rust backend with RPC/REST or is it simply WebAssembly compiled from Rust? If the latter, how is the data synced for CRUD?
I'd say lawyer up, but then this is goliath..
Absolute numbers are on a downward trend. But how about relative interest as a percentage of total?

I see a lot of "what did I tell you, look here, bad communist party product". But in reality most likely this startup isn't doing it out of malice. It's just one of many criteria that need to be met to do business in China. This does not lessen the achievement.

Re:Claude 3.5 Sonnet on Thursday June 27, 2024 @05:00AM (#40808674)
These models are clearly great with language, be it natural language or code. However, I wonder where the expectation comes from that a static stochastic parrot should be able to compute arbitrary first order logic (in a series of one-shot next word predictions). Could any expert elaborate on how this would be solved by a transformer model?
I've been looking for know anything resembling django's ORM _including_ migrations in rust, but haven't found a good replacement.
Re:Germany's autobahn bridges falling apart on Sunday June 23, 2024 @08:23AM (#40766912)
Germany decided to place the vast majority of freight transport on the autobahn instead of on rails as most countries do. I guess this is going to have a self-reinforcing effect with autobahns being increasingly congested and badly maintained.
Likely that some McKinsey type consultants or ex-consultants in senior management deem this to be absolutely necessary and the only way to go.
Given that 175,000 people are roughly 4% of the working population, that’s quite a payday for all the lawyers in the state.
Re:AI Will Become Mathematicians' 'Co-Pilot' on Wednesday June 12, 2024 @11:31AM (#40659220)
Isn’t proof checking at least as hard as k-sat and therefore NP? Given that neural networks process in constant time, how would that be possible without approximation?
I guess this only applies to new releases of iPadOS? Meaning no possibility to make old iPads reusable as, e.g., a linux machine?
