I’m not too deep into the matter but don’t they all have to wait in the interconnection queue first anyway? My understanding is that that alone will take some years

Back in the glory days of hackathons my now-wife and I wrote a multiplayer version of pac-man where one player controlled pac-man and the other was a ghost.

We didn’t quite manage to make it fun to play but it sure was a huge amount of fun hacking it together!

Yeah great idea! Let’s also just legalise recreational fentanyl while we’re at it

Nothing more ironic than an article about conscious writing that’s entirely written by AI.

Meanwhile Mr POTUS himself wants to introduce prop betting in his social media platform.

Don’t expect anything to change anytime soon

iirc the Times ranking has always been garbage as it weighs some "student experience" metric way too high. Do I really care about the result of some online survey equally or more than the academic achievement of the staff?

Back when I chose a UK university to attend, I valued the QS ranking much higher.

I’ve never agreed with a title and then disagreed with the content more than this article.

Jokes on you, I care a lot about my work and can still get it done in 5 hours a day.

Calling TNG a lab is a bit funny to me. It’s a consulting company that lets people hack on stuff between placements.

My memory might be off here but wasn’t the initial AWS "cheaper" promise only made vs buying & maintaining your own hardware?

It has to be a cost thing. HLS is so insanely optimised down to the hardware level that adding any kind of compute for targeting would increase costs exponentially.

I’m not too deep into it anymore but there’s some great articles from Netflix out there talking about the crazy optimisations done to their edge servers for streaming.

I mean true, fair point but OP asked what I spent my money on and it’s travel, as described.

Could I also buy a new laptop? Yeah sure, but I don’t because I don’t value it as much.
