I'm not trying to be some sort of Luddite, but at this stage what more can a phone really do. If it's 10% faster than chips that are already doing a fine job right now it just feels flat. I really love new tech and especially micr

In my opinion mainstream software will be abstracted away to the point where you are working on defining and refining requirements. And will likely look very different. Interestingly I feel software construction might become more craft man

It's not racist and to say as such is just stupid. The model might be a poor but it has no concept of race. And actually think implying that the authors of the algo and model are racist equally stupid.

I've been thinking that's why we are seeing the true doubling in full RTX like quake and minecraft but not on more traditional rendering engines. From my understanding int is often used for lookups, and I'd presume a lot of t

Modern x86 processors are far from simple though and so it's arguable that it's not significantly less complicated. Though to be fair I'm not sure it's really all that complex relatively to modern high end processors. Mo

I really like Tool but never get that...unfortunately :) Maybe try "We Are" on Asymmetry by Karnivool as well. I find the drums quite mesmerising, i've heard it's not quite as complex as it sounds.

And Islam has similar, one of people that will be given shade on the day of judgement. “…A man who gives in charity and hides it, such that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives in charity; and a man who remembered Allah in

Nonsense, there is no magic in whether it's free enterprise or government led. At this stage I'm amazed that anyone still believes that national control means universally better outcomes, considering the historical record of such

If you are generalising on the micro scale you're definitely doing it wrong :)

Starting with a hypothesis (conclusion) is pretty standard, otherwise you are just poking around blindly. The current "strategies" have only been sustainable because our economies had grown enough to sustain the blow, for now. Ma

They are reluctant to move the rent because commercial property value is highly dependent on the "perceived" rental value. Locking in low rents instantly wipes out the buildings value.

I'm wondering if we are on the verge of a commercial property apocalypse. If rents are eventually forced down in large metropolitan areas it will wipe out billions of dollars in property wealth. Could make the GFC look like a blip.

I don't care which we pick but I personally find a centrally managed shift in everyone's daily rhythm twice a year highly draconian, i have the somewhat luxury that I don't really need to shift my sleeping pattern immediately

Come on, map and filter difficult? That's hyperbole of the highest order.

This feels very much like a false dichotomy. Many millionaires, I assume we mean the extremely wealthy, have the majority of their wealth tied to the extreme growth of stocks based on some extreme economic forces. E.g. bezos with Amazon, Bi

That's my point though, ostensibly it was all in the name of providing equity to the work class whom were seen as disadvantaged and exploited, but actual fact they were more used as proxy for middle class intellectuals to tear down the

I don't think it's actually anything to do with capitalism. It's all about having a an agenda and projecting that onto others which is always the fundamental flaw in professed egalitarian ideologies, at some point you'll

I think it's also clear from the major distinctions between the sources of those "people at the top" that there is very little uniqueness about them. The soviet union tore down an existing ruling class and replaced it with an

There is nothing immoral about a lawful business transaction to purchase a VR company. If this device required some signing of an EULA that has given away all your consumer rights then the onus is on you, no one forced you to buy it and man

and then we're back to the original statement, if you're rapidly iterating hot fixes you have serious problems and likely doing it wrong.

At this stage I'm pretty convinced that everything can be shown to cause cancer. A lot of food research is also just very bad.

The problem described here is only tangentially connect to technology. All that is described is really the challenge of complex systems and that could exist in any domain whatsoever. The inner workings of oh so human system of the UK govern

And it has been demonstrably shown that languages that have a pseudo English syntax do nothing to open programming to the masses; case in point being Cobol, there is a proverbial tonne of it being maintained only by software engineers.

You just need to be creative with the release cycle, there is nothing stopping capturing ah moment in time and then releasing a serial, indeed it may allow for a more iterative process wrt to mix and mastering

Because idealogical battles are very rarely what a reasonable person would describe as a discussion. They're often just two sides shouting over each other.

If you really believe it has that much impact get it photoshop'ed. Game the system if you think that you LinkedIn picture has an effect. Pick your preferred pronoun or what ever.

This has become a problem because the internet social networking has opened up the potential of mob justice tar and feathering that is causing people real harm in terms of their livelihood and I'd imagine mental well being.

Yes CPU are designed by teams, but to effectively build a world class product you need a world class team and world class leadership. Keller has proven time and again he can lead world class teams effectively.

Of course, there are two ways out of this, herd or vaccine. The above is a variation of herd that may result in less deaths. The real problem is that waiting until a vaccine is just not even remotely realistic for so many reasons that it&#
