And it doesn't even need to be a rigid pipe. A flexible pipe made out of, say, waterproof fabric, could be cheaply made to extend miles while remaining open due to the pressure of the water pumped into it.

As a systems/embedded eng I have always valued repeatability and determinism in my code, products, build systems, etc. I am pretty bullish on AI from a high level now, but one thing that recently hit me is how arbitrary and hacky the w

Nvidia has been marketing "smart cities" for years. I've mentioned it several times but it never gets traction. If you think the AI build out is about consumer benefits you're an idiot. It's about control. AI is goi

Everyone pushes voting and sure, you should vote if you're able, but the other half of the puzzle is you need to have good options to vote for. Politicians are relatively low paid for the expertise we want and so many of the folks runn

We don't let bubbles pop anymore. We print money and borrow from the future so that no one loses money on their homes and retirement accounts. The GFC changed the rules.

IDK, but that sounds like something that would be better implemented with an open-source library to which providers supply support patches. Why do I need a company to act as a proxy and not just run a relatively simple shim layer on my mach

AI likely won't replace all jobs though. Hey, the progress in robots is great, but we're decades away from a robot HVAC tech who can crawl on an unfamiliar roof and maintain a patched-together system from 20 years ago. So like, th

Ok, and? You don't manage money. You don't seem to understand risk tolerance and opportunity cost. You're also comparing near-inflation returns with cash at zero pct return. I can see why you only write software and don'

I'm fine with keeping most of my post-tax cash pile in cash equivalents. I don't think you understand investing if your only measuring stick is returns. You do sound like a finance bro though given you took time out of your day to

I spent my 30s playing "this old house" when I could have made significant amounts of money just working more consulting hours. Yeah, I enjoy some home improvement and maintenance tasks, but I also enjoy financial security and pai

Rent control changes the math on this. Obviously location dependent but it can have a significant effect.

I made plenty of money (and still do) holding US treasuries and other safe investments. You don't need to gamble on stocks to have income from cash which offsets rent.

No, I read that part of the sentence. I don't know why you'd assume I didn't. Should I claim you didn't even read my entire response? I've never heard someone claim I am throwing away money when I buy something con

It's not surprising. As a kid I was an anarcho-communist punk rocker but I had a friend who was a christian and his parents were scammy, MLM, right-wing conservative types(think Rush Limbaugh but loonier) who distrusted the government

You've got to give him credit though. His caustic managerial style seems to have borne fruit despite his lack of engineering or technical skills. He has been supremely effective at defining a vision(however delusional) and attracting f

I think it came from peaceniks and hippies mostly. You're talking about the equivalent of modern anti-vax liberals. Anti-science and given to conspiracies and mysticism. There was a pretty good reason to be scared of nukes when these f

Like most backward looking judgements these days, such things require understanding the culture and zeitgeist of the mid 70s. I'm pro-nuclear as well, but understand that for many decades the "smart" thing to do was to oppose

What's funny to me is the seeming lack of AI usage among management despite so much of their work being amenable to AI acceleration. At my company(big name, AI beneficiary), middle management seems to mostly be concerned with shuffling

Your answer reminds me that my biggest gripe with this site and programmer forums in general is the lack of awareness of the breadth and scale of software development. I'm curious what you work on, because it doesn't sound anythin

There's a strong overlap between technopositivists who view the world through a very narrow lens of the problems they are trying to solve and libertarians who also have a very narrow view based on problems they are trying to solve(taxa

As said already, Intel isn't the only US fab now. TSMC and Samsung also have US fabs and Apple is also talking to Samsung. Your comment is dismissive without evidence. The linked article claims there was political pressure. Do you have

Yes and it can also reduce competitive forces which were driving Intel to innovate. The goal of a robust supply chain is not aligned with the goal of technical supremacy. Sure, the US did achieve technical supremacy in the past with governm

How can the USG improve the competitiveness of INTC's process nodes with political pressure? Was the concern in the past that Intel wasn't honoring strategic obligations or was it that Apple realized their tech sucked and TSMC was

Samsung has a Texas fab(and AAPL is in discussions with them alongside INTC).

by 01100011 5mo ago
Then why did the USG need to get involved to bring AAPL to the table? Sure, supply chain redundancy is good, but that wasn't enough to get AAPL interested before.
