A world where there is no need for workers--not at all the same thing. You may not end up with a seat at the table.

Keeping tests private is the only way to keep them valid.

No, the domestic industry stagnates (at best) or disappears (at worst). You can't just spin up a 2nm wafer fab when the latest you've been running is a 300nm process. Compare: US shipbuilding industry to China or SK.

This matches what I saw when I tried using AI as an editor for writing. It wanted to replace all the little bits of me that were in there.

UX regressions are bad, and liquid glass is worse than Microsoft’s Metro nonsense for usability. Transparency is not a good user experience when you’re trying to read detailed text.

Not if the idea is to tank old phone performance to sell new phone hardware!

I need to be able to tell when it's garbage in garbage out and I can't do that when I don't understand the operations in question .

A calculator is more consistent and faster at calculating than I am, but I still need to understand how to multiply, divide, add, and subtract before I can move on to more complicated math. I need to intuitively understand when I'm g

How much of America’s growth since the 40s is attributable to its hegemony, stability, and the emergence of USD as the reserve currency of the world? And where other developed, stable nations started dropping in population, the US continued

Entertaining, but holy cow that music distracts from the content.

The US is no longer in competition for that talent pool by its own deliberate actions. Might we see a European flowering as the US chokes itself into a regional power?

Sampling bias. You're on a site dominated by software engineers, in the field of software engineering, and likely have a lot of software engineer friends. Translators got fucked, there's very little market for them compared now co

This is a useful measure to point the law as a weapon against drone operators who may be recording what’s going on by accident or on purpose. Any drone made in the last few years is going to be emitting its ID, which likely has been registe

But heavier so worse on the tires. It isn’t intuitive that they’d be better off, and they might be worse on this particular dimension.

Yes, though I expect there to be a European block, the US, and a Chinese block. Russia there as a wildcard. I doubt we see Germany in competition with Britain.

Until there’s the equivalent of stored procedures it’s a problem and people are right to call it out.

Probably originated for disposal of CRTs, due to all that leaded glass.

Hard power still matters. It gets access to things like fiber closets, upstream dependencies, subtle flaws in encryption schemes that take years to figure out, information linking your networks, and more than I can think of. Cute tech can s

Yeah, my basket of goods hasn't changed and is closer to doubling in price comparing 2018 to today. Some items I've been tracking have quadrupled since 2010 or thereabouts. Your basic cup-of-noodles used to be $.20 to $.25 and is

It's worse: we're actively ejecting the global brain drain that has been to our benefit since the post-WW2 era. I know several people on various visas that are making plans to leave after having gotten PHDs here. Still more have n

And also the negative externalities. Plane noise is irritating, sonic booms are far worse and spread farther.

It’s not successful for a VC. VCs are looking for the billion dollar exit. 10s of millions is 100-1000x off what they look for

It's not as straightforward to compare area as sorted length. Look at the example in the link and try to make sense of it.

All of these suck. Use nested bar graphs like TreeSize and it’s instantly obvious what your biggest hitter is for any particular nesting level. In lieu of that, a flame graph is tolerable. The polar coordinate one is very pretty garbage. ED

A simple PID wants to keep it at a setpoint, but it’s easy enough to layer a target change on top of it, some hysteresis so it’s not pulsing on and off, perhaps with control authority depending on the the target, etc. but then that gets com

Mea culpa. I've been reading some reporting earlier in the day. Trying to find verification for the claims I see that it was wrong. Which is better than it could be, all things considered.

It bans the import, but not sale of models the FCC has previously approved.

If it was phased in and didn't specifically include allied country imports, I could believe that. This door-slamming-shut-suddenly method says there is no plan, and given we don't domestically make most of the critical components
