Hard to argue with that.

Any difference in performance on mobile development?

That's the way things have to go. Business risk is too high having everything ran over exposed networks.

What is your use case for BSD?

I dunno. I just learned what 'mogged' means 2 days ago. So probably not far.

I wonder if the 100 million dollar guys got a signing bonus like athletes. Just take 10 mill and chuck up deuces.

Doesn't Europe allow Chinese vehicles in their market? At least they admit it.

This isn't only reflected in educational standards. I've seen a ton more restrictions in traffic and speed limits in more affluent areas, and higher/less blatant enforcement in poorer areas, even when the poorer areas are more populated with children.

I think the ai angle for warfare is overhyped. Most of the autonomous drone stuff happening in Ukraine is not running on bleeding edge nodes. It's radxa sbcs with process nodes from 10 years ago.

Facts. Dedicated dsp chips face a shrinking market for audio with sbcs being so powerful these days.

Maybe they'll make a better abstraction layer than cuda.

A chief source of management missteps I've seen is not talking to people and just making consequential decisions because they think a jira board gives them insight.

This is true. Skepticism can keep you free from mlm scams, but that same trait will keep you from buying bitcoin when it's at .0001 cents.

That's a complaint I have about 80s music. So perfectly synthesized, it's fake. That's why I like 70s guitar and drums over 80s. Humans make artistic mistakes; it adds character.

That's cap. 'Ir' is usually used in the english language to denote the negative of the following property that follows it, e.g. irrespective meaning not respective. Regardless alone signals the negative assertion of the following property, so a prepending of 'ir' before it connotes a not-not, a double negative, and against the context of what is trying to be communicated. Having a problem with this abuse of language/meaning/communication is to be expected.
