OP is a little ambiguous, but I think they're being sarcastic.

"housing a human right" epitomises a feel good do nothing platitude that won't fix the problem. Fixing the problem involves building more so supply isn't an issue and accepting tha tin some areas housing is unfortunately

For what it's worth, I somewhat agree. High speed rail in particular is super expensive, and airplanes are surprisingly cheap and flexible in comparison.

Depends on what you want. A lot of the interest in FPV is acro flight, not autonomous, so there isn't a lot of interest in improving that (at least for beta flight) You act as if separate backhauls is a bad thong - I'm not sure th

Except electricity is billed in kWh, everything consumes power on kw, and kWh is by far a more intuitive unit of consumption once you get past the basic of educational step of explaining 1 kw for 1 hr = 1 kWh. As an EE I much prefer kWh, th

Not all that relevant from a maintenance perspective though. Electric motors essentially Don't Fail.

2.3m people we don't need to pay any more. Jobs'll open up, that money will go somewhere else.

Sure. What's the point in worrying about that now? That circumstance is so far removed from current experience I'm not sure there's anything useful we could do to prepare before it happens.

My view is that the point at which LLMs could cause the death of SWE as a profession is also the point at which practically all knowledge professions could be killed. To fully replace SWEs still requires the LLM to have enough external cont

Not sure I agree. Where it matters people will prefer and buy products that "just work" compared to something unreliable. People tolerate game crashes because you (generally) can't get the same experience by switching. People

For the most valuable applications, sure - but a lot of the biggest historical advances came not from the first application of that new tech, but from that new tech becoming cheap and ubiquitous. Maybe (cheap) room-temp superconductors won&

Be that as it may, Nigel Richards (the scrabble star in this story) apparently knows virtually every word regardless, and fairly minimal study (supposedly).

Probably you should feel more aggrieved by government bonds, which are as close to riskless as it gets if you buy short-dated securities. Index funds are still riskyz though everyone forgets that when the market keeps going up.

Come move to Australia, where the tax treatment on super is so stupendously generous it'd be cheaper to just pay the old age pension instead. (No income tax on distributions, reduced tax on contributions)

UL is also not the be all and end all. You can build a UL certified pack with pretty shit cells. The most important aspect of a good battery is just use good quality cells that don't blow up. LG produced a bad batch a few years ago and

Gang violence would often be random offender, random victim too. I imagine a motivated murder by a related party is significantly easier to solve than a random shooting where the perpetrator hightails it immediately. Related parties are eas

This has been relatively clear for a while. Solar is dirt cheap per kwh produced. The only real technical impediment at this point, as the article mentions, is energy balancing (both through the night and seasonally). It's interesting

Literally all that happened is Intel lost the fab lead and then lost fab parity. Their CPUs were, and are, still competitive with AMD chips, or at least close enough that they can just adjust prices to make up the difference. Fabs are extre

by Panzer04 2y ago
Yup. Fabless is also totally dependant on churning out good designs. Intel's current gen chips are fine, compared to AMDs. Not great, not terrible, just competitive. The reason Intel are worth less is because investors are actually ass

I agree. I don't see him having achieved anything particularly noteworthy over his tenure. I'm not sure where Intel needs to go from here - ultimately lots of problems are solved if they can just design a solid CPU (or GPU) and ma

Eh. Pat hasn't seemed to be doing anything special. Presided over a bunch of hiring and firing (pointlessly), plowing money into fabs like anyone else would, often misleads during presentations, hasn't managed Intel's cash ve

I think things like iPads aren't uncommon, at least that's what I was using - but handwriting on an iPad is virtually identical to pen and paper, so no real difference.

One must wonder if the therapy works if it's as trivial and simple as you say. Rarely are these things straightforward and clear cut. That being said, I recently broke my ankle, and found that the protocols still often include 6 weeks

I would have expected it to be possible to compress a single arbitrary random file with a small program. I would have thought an RNG could generate a file with some weakness that allows you to compress it, although said compressor would be

My naive presumption is that the gas turbines do run at constant RPM, but vary the fuel use to deliver more torque and hence energy? Maybe just wrong though :P

This has always been true for anyone who knows anything. Batteries rapidly deteriorate from 100%, but the degradation gets slower the more capacity has already been lost. Even for consumer devices, battery aging and capacity loss is very sl

Because the body does not make it easy to keep the same muscle with less fat. For most people, it just doesn't really matter, because their strength is so far below their peak capability it won't be hard to cut some weight while m

I don't know what you mean by dogmatic. Alternatives to electric are still the primary workhorses in most industries, but falling prices for batteries mean they are rapidly becoming more competitive. My experience is that people don&#x

This is a really interesting view, and I have to admit this actually makes sense. Wireless mice definitely are nicer to use, and you can usually make them charge fast enough that a five minute charge while you take a short break is enough t

I agree with you - but slippery slope fallacy does not justify ignoring an innovative technology. Municipalities using it as an excuse to malinvest seems like a bit of a red herring to me - how many places actually did that? And honestly in
