Resistor matching is still a thing to this day.

I’ve heard they received some kind of government healthcare grant early on, which requires them to keep providing services under the TikTok name for at least 15 years.

And it was a resounding success! (Not)

People seem to forget that TikTok was originally a pharmaceutical startup…

What does uncorrectable error mean in RAM? I’ve read somewhere that they use Hamming codes for ECC RAM. Isn’t it the case that too many errors (more than floor((d - 1) / 2)) simply result in an incorrect codeword? Or do they know the error locations a priori? (i.e. erasure coding)

Maybe you’re getting slower at the same rate as computers ;-)

Why does debouncing increase latency? Can’t they report the keypress immediately on the first signal spike, and then use the debounce timer to ensure that no additional presses are reported within the debounce interval?

Or are switches generating spurious signal spikes even when left untouched? That would explain why they need to delay the keypress…

Like Geocities?

What is this comment about?

Even if neural networks were fundamentally incompatible with conventional computation, I don't see why you couldn't augment a neural network with a conventional ALU to do the numerical computations. This is exactly what humans do with pencil and paper - it's just a bit too slow.

Funny, but work anniversaries at FB are literally called “Metaversary” after the Meta rebranding.

Also, your colleagues are your “Metamates”. I’m not even kidding.

I stopped too, after they threw back some of my reports because they were missing some completely unrelated generic diagnostic info (like which MacBook generation was I using, even if the bug was 100% reproducible everywhere), even though I’ve provided them a minimal working example on GitHub, and even the method name of the problematic private API.

“Oh no! Someone asked something on the Internet that I consider inappropriate!”

You know there are communities/societies where people openly discuss their salary, right?

How much?

How about instead fixing any of the hundreds of well-documented bugreports raised by your developers instead?

Geothermal smartphones when?

Step 1: *systematically kill the middle class over a generation*

Step 2: "noooooo, why are these workers not pushing themselves like they used to? are you not believing in our mission statement? but we've introduced Pride Month this year! what else do you want???"

Step 3: ???

This is not an article. This is a so-called content marketing piece.

And it’s still mostly shit.

The H1B benefit only applies if you have a Masters from a U.S. university.

Predicting the minimum-energy configuration of any physical system that can be modeled with a cluster of bubbles.

I remember watching this Jim Blinn seminar on tensor diagrams from the University of Utah: https://youtu.be/40TdlWURkS8

I understood maybe a third of what he’s talking about, but it’s fascinating.

He seems to be using similar slides to those on this page.

Geometric algebra is not the same as algebraic geometry.

Unfortunately there’s no hope for upgrading it to full Unicode coverage, as 2^16 is less than half the number of Unicode characters :(

Oh it's very simple. I can show you if you give me my luggage with the AirTag ;)

It's a bullshit excuse and they know it. Lufthansa even has on-board WiFi on their planes. How are you going to use it if your laptop is supposed to have "transmission function" turned off?

They just don't want people to have proof they've lost their luggage.

Pfhew, I thought you wanted to ditch std::vector for hash maps!

SDL + ImGui

Wtf is "unhoused".
