Building more housing is not going to do anything. It is at most a temporary salve. Once people have housing they reproduce, creating more demand for housing. Building more housing is like building more roads: not a solution to anything, in

There is never enough housing to meet demand. Once people have housing they breed, that drives up the population and housing prices once more: only now the world is more crowded and shittier. Without habitat control, it will always be this

A fair point, but there's no need to have the antenna connected unless the radio is actively on. It could be on a relay. Many radios would be off during the EMP.

FEMA maintains about 80 AM transmitters in Faraday cages, with backup generators, across the country. Amateur HAMs maintain a lot more, though of lower power.

AM transmissions have a far greater range than FM transmissions, up to thousands of miles. This matters in a common emergency scenario, a nuclear bomb blast (or all out nuclear war), when EMPs will take out most electronics. Cars are Farada

150 nits is quite low and no one turns off wifi when doing video playback. Also, the test was performed by Lenovo. The OLED screen of the Lenovo helps at low brightness. Even then, the M3 went 18 hours.

How much of this fab's supply chain still comes from Taiwan and/or China? Most especially, where does the fab process equipment itself come from?

Of course this is true, YC is a sweatshop explotation model which works on finding winning lottery tickets through a "million monkeys" method. They can't afford to give anyone much money, they spread their bets thin. That&#x2

Every weather forecasting agency in the world is pivoting to ML methods, and some of them have very deep pockets and industry partnerships. Some big tech companies are forging ahead on their own. Unless you have proprietary data, you just b

If crypto is the bar, Linux looks even worse. At least crypto was novel in the past 30 years. Linux works on new hardware and... that's it. There's nothing new about Linux. As far as OSes go there is seL4 other interesting researc

Yes, their data is garbage. macOS losing 20% share in one month. ChromeOS losing 50% in one month. A huge "unknown" share. Lots of volatility. This is just the Linux faithful seeing what they want to see.

I wouldn't put the kernel on the same footing as a nuclear power plant. A power plant is designed, the Linux kernel is accreted, like a stalagmite. It's a testament to the power of open source that something useful can come out of

No, not at all. GPUs are the key to enabling all that. Kernels are just some glue running in there. Most of the NVIDIA goodness is actually in userspace. You could just as well say that electricity or HVAC is the key.

Overall, Tesla sales are down YoY. The Cybertruck is newer than the R1T and F150, so there are still some buyers.

The historical timeline for the siege is unreliable, but somehow the number of soldiers is rock-solid accurate? And, further, it is known that they were able to complete their siege works unharried? This paper at best provides a best-case e

Not at all. Elon wastes much more money on his "fuck around and find out" method of engineering^H^H^H accretion. A million monkeys could do it better and more cheaply.
