Old school autocad back when I had access you could configure menu's yourself. I see no reason that you couldn't do that with a modern application. One thing I did with GUI I wrote for a customer was added a notes item to the righ

In the last 15 years the US spent something like 700B on modernizing nuclear weapons. I can see how freeing people from debt so they can do things like buy houses, have kids, buy stuff benefits me. I can't see how the US's vast nu

I think reprocessing scrap steel is a really good candidate for solar. Capitalization costs are low enough it's worth it to chase the lowest priced electricity. Doesn't matter if the lowest cost is at night or during the day. Sola

I think device specific self hosted AI is coming. At least that's what I see from marketing stuff the chip companies send me. I think it could make some sense from the a cost perspective. The manufacturer of an appliance likely doesn&#

I'm pretty sure if Motorola had rolled out the 68008 at the same time as the 68000 the 0x86 would be something few people remember. The hardware people choose the 8088 because it only required 8 DRAM's instead of 16.

I've come to the conclusion affinity fraud is a very wide spectrum. You got guys like Madoff on one end. And people carefully picking out clothes and watching their accent on the other. I think of the latter as low grade affinity fraud

That sort of thing re-reinforces my believe that Musk it's some genius it's that managers like that French guy are blocking progress and creating negative value. Where Musk is usually too nutty and ADD to get the way for long.

I've thought for a long time that it would be nice to have versioning at the function and data structure level. Not to mention tools to auto-build a wrapper around newer libraries. Even if incomplete it'd sometimes do the job.

My memory of the 80's was most stuff was fast but power hungry NMOS. People were pushing things like GA, ECL, Silicon on Sapphire as the next thing to replace it. I might be biased but the company I worked for in the 80's switched

This is true. It also failed because the populous usually can't deal with being governed except the way they are accustomed. Probably why commies never managed to take over a Republic from the inside.

Solution, bring back post office banking or banking through the social security admin. Turn 18 you get a banking and benefits card. Do that and most people won't ever have to do business with a private bank, ever.

Sort of my take. Oil supplies increased exponentially till about 1970 and then that stopped right as the big cohort of post WWII children entered adulthood. I read a heterodox economist who argues that standard economists are wrong in that
