If you don't know what TPU means in that context, I don't think they are marketing to you. The first TPU was released 11 years ago!

I only watched this movie once, maybe 15 years ago, and that scene has stuck with me. Rewatching it brought tears to my eyes again after all these years. That was some of the best, gut-wrenching movies ever made.

This is depressing. Is this really what software engineering has come to? I should have been a doctor. At least until Optimus do surgery on these guy's brain. Unitree, verify Optimus's work

I feel like you were getting dangerously close to tragedeigh there.

I'll admit in an earlier life I got suckered by Chamath's fast-talking, hyper-confident bluster. Dude was just a conman who got lucky. They say it's better to be lucky than smart.

This is true for most other countries. When I went to school before college, Math was just Math. There wasn't a Calculus or Algebra or Statistics class. You took Math and just did all of it in the Math class over the years, and you couldn't pick and choose. The distinctions only start in College. So everyone who graduated high school at least knew what each of these were about, even if they flat out flunked Math. I can't say how useful that was though.

I was once taking a trip from Canterbury to Glasgow. The train ride to Stansted airport cost more than twice the flight to Glasgow. Also, it's crazy just how cheap the flights are in Europe. How do the airline companies make any money?

People do actually realize. It's just that people have decided it's not the most important thing when it comes to delivering software. There's a reason Node and Python are the most popular ecosystems.

Yes, the reason I used to root for the US as a power was that they pretended to be ethical with stuff like the FCPA and the USAID. Of course those pretenses have been dropped, it's a wash really. I'm only left to hope for an end to whatever madness this is, since really, it looks like the US has lost to China and that's going to become very clear in the coming decades.

I used to think this, but I've been in the US just long enough to start rethinking it. The one thing I still prefer though is that each outlet has an off switch, no need to unplug your cable. Also, three prong cables are 90 degrees offset so it's easier to fit behind furniture.

Have you met China? They have no pretenses about being neutral or ethical. For them it's just business.

But isn't this just entrepreneurship? The stories about starting and running companies don't sound like fun. I mean I was the first Engineer hire out of school for a small company and got to see this in up close. These guys are trying to run a business in a ridiculously competitive and saturated market. It's not a hobby.

Perhaps the prejudice is that the AI video is a means of manipulation making the victim appear more sympathetic. "This person must be an absolute monster to shoot such a good, kind forgiving guy." That was exceptionally poor judgement on the part of the judge. -Edit: Exactly what the comment above said.

This was meant to say Kenya

The state usually provided loans for University, not high school.
