Maybe, but they'd been operating under that name for 7 years before Elon came along and decided he needed a name for his model.

The swastika was in use for thousands of years before Hitler and his crowd changed its meaning forever.

I would imagine they do not want their researchers unnecessarily wasting time fighting for resources - within reason. And at Google, "within reason" can be pretty big.

I mean looking antigravity, jules & gemini cli, they have have no problem with their developers fighting for resources

That doesn't mean they won't try anyway; political ideology often trumps rational planning.

It's not even noon and I've already thought about ancient Rome today!

Seriously, when I am in Italy, I think of ancient Rome most of the time. The country is just chock-full of Roman structures and you won't be walking for a long time before bumping into one.

When holidaying in Italy I had the luck to pick the day trip one day. Really glad I found Paestum (an ancient Greek city): it is every bit as captivating as Pompeii imo.

Went to Italy for the first time a few years ago and picked paestum randomly when we needed a break from Naples. Went back last year and will probably go again.

So is Ostia, Rome's ancient harbor.

I’m currently reading “Carthage must be destroyed”. If you want to look at the event from a not-solely Roman perspective I recommend this

Carthago delenda est! That's how us noob Latin language students learn the gerundive, with "delenda" being a verbal adjective, meaning "to be deleted (destroyed)". As a bonus it's also useful as a paradigm for remembering how the passive periphrastic conjugation works. It helps that it also implies violence and destruction, making it easier to remember.

Maybe? The price difference on newer hardware can buy a lot of electricity, and if you aren't running stuff at 100% all the time the calculation changes again. Idle power draw on a brand new server isn't significantly different from one that's 5 years old.

P/B frames (which is usually most of them) reference other frames to compress motion effectively. So losing a packet doesn't mean a dropped frame, it means corruption that lasts until the next I-frame/slice. This can be seconds. If you've ever seen corrupt video that seems to "smear" wrong colors, etc. across the screen for a bunch of frames, that's what we're talking about here.

Again - the viewer rarely cares when that happens

Minor annoyance, maybe, rage quit the application? Not a chance.

If you’re never sending an I-frame then it’s permanently corrupt. Sending an I-frame is the equivalent of eventual consistency.

Your users must be very different from the ones I'm familiar with.

If the area affected literally doesn't change for minutes afterwards it will not get refreshed and fixed.

The bar is at not rage quitting the application? A good experience is not even thought about?

It really depends on product area.

Of course the challenge with that is it's often not obvious until after quite a bit of work and refinement that something else is, in fact, better.

And immediately after Pearl Harbor the Germans rather stupidly declared war on the US.

I'm building (yet another) 2d/3d parametric CAD tool. In-browser, collaborative, etc.
