It doesn’t happen often, until you make e.g. a ticketing system with a pool of ticket handlers that claim a ticket to work on it, instead of a sole ticket handling responsible, and now it happens dozens of times a day and the customer is ir

Be careful to print enough. I have one and it dried out due to lack of use. There’s a deep clean that unclogs it, but you can only do it a few times before the non-replaceable ink sponges fill up.

So, linked hoverboards as walkway segments with a solar cell surface controlled by a mesh network?

Even by day it can be harrowing. By far the sweatiest walk home I’ve ever had was the 20 minute walk carrying home my 5K iMac through the outskirts of a less than fancy neighborhood. They wrapped it in nondescript cardboard to conceal, but

You can also edit with third party software, and they can embed whatever metadata they want to allow those edits to be modified, so there might not actually be an upper bound on how much larger you can make a photo or video by editing.

But instead of spending the money on a house big enough to host those dinner parties, you could host them at a fancy restaurant, with better food and the ability to spend the entire evening with the guests instead of in the kitchen. And for

AI is the main use case for memory bandwidth that I know of. Local LLM’s are memory bandwidth limited when running inference, so once you fall into that trap you end up wanting the 400 gb/s max memory bandwidth of the m1/m2/m

It is surprising how much more affordable 4k displays are. I was stuck finding a suitable display for my macbook being used to the 5k iMac, and ended up with the 32 inch samsung m8, which is one third what apple charges for the 5k studio di

I once had bed bugs, and can attest to how nasty they are and how difficult to get rid of. Eventually we learned that none of the bed bug repellent products work, and the only thing that actually works is diatomaceous earth.

Regulation is actually not a large driver for nuclear project cost overruns according to this MIT study: https://news.mit.edu/2020/reasons-nuclear-overruns-1118

MIT found that reusing a design made plants more expensive to build, not less, because of costly on-site last minute design changes. Taking your point more charitably, it is indeed the lack of a sustainable nuclear energy industry that rout

I feel a deep discomfort with algorithms optimizing for “engaging” content like this. It feels to me like a form of algorithmic brainwashing, capturing people in filter bubbles. I would prefer it if there were laws against platforms making

FWIW, I don’t think you should wait. I bought this year’s samsung s95c qd-oled, and it is such a nice looking display that I feel we’re well into the territory of diminishing returns of further improvements. I was struck by how much nicer 4

Actually, I think microsoft is going to laugh all the way to the bank, because probably most enterprises will use the Azure OpenAI service instead of directly buying OpenAI’s offerings.

Michael Mann described the 6 stages of climate denial in 2013. At the time the hard core deniers were still stage 1, nowadays they mostly seem to have moved to at least stage 3, and many of the politicians that are obstructing are stuck in

They’re listening to economists that tell them the effects on GDP will be negligible, and in fact mitigation measures may be very profitable. That those economic predictions are based on assumptions with a high degree of hand waving doesn’t

How exactly do you see Russia as an existential threat to the EU? Putin does not seem interested in conquering the EU, at all. He’s never mentioned anything of the sort that I know of, and he’s not the guy to mince words about his intention

I have an album that I bought digitally in itunes that was revoked and republished identically by the publisher (i think by accident). The consequence is that as far as apple music is concerned, that album is not in my account. The physical

8 GB RAM is the baseline for modern macOS. It really doesn’t like being forced to do with less, even if the 4 gb macbooks are not that old (4 gb airs were sold until 2016). People keep nagging apple to up the baseline RAM from 8 to 12 or 16

Doesn’t that imply that we should object to all dna databases? If a database can be used to identify people not in the database, does the scale of the database matter? The consequence would be that law enforcement can no longer compile data

I challenge you to point out the specific paragraphs of GDPR you object to as somehow unreasonable or targeting american tech companies. The cookie banners are a bad outcome for sure, but GDPR does not mandate them. They are an indirect res

In my view, you my friend are the one who is confused. “Purchasing a license” is lawyerese nonsense. How can I buy something and then be arbitrarily deprived of it by the person who sold it to me at their whim? That cannot reasonably be cal

If the license expires I would call it a rental. For me if DRM is involved it is always a rental, license or no, as I am left unable to legally keep an archival copy to retain access to the purchased item beyond the undisclosed access windo

Getting to the bottom of this feels like a game of bingo. With everything that we learned wasn’t the reason (not malfeasance, not safety), we eliminate more theories. And whatever remains no matter how improbable must be the truth. My theor

It could also just be that there are different stories of the situation that led up to this thing blowing up, and nobody inside OpenAI could be trusted to impartially do fact finding in matching up those narratives. People confabulate just
