While that is true, Intel has probably spent more on R&D than all of their competition put together. That they still fell behind is indicative of their failure to execute, but it's not for lack of spending.

I have mixed feelings on that video. The general bit-piece feel on self driving is not really deserved, IMO, and seems to be against self driving for the sake of it. I think self driving will be a massive, massive boost to human productivit

Bare metal code and a photodiode will both have latencies so low as to be irrelevant compared to everything else floating at dozens of milliseconds. EDIT: well, apparently these are photo resistors, which are much slower and could in fact h

Every little step in fields like this is so encouraging. We keep getting better, but the cancers don't. Ever more effective cocktails of drugs that target the cancers while minimising harm to everywhere else, the closer we get to attac

If bones survived, some advanced remnants would also survive, I would expect.

My presumption is that batteries have been expensive enough up until now that it's been most sensible to target upmarket without sacrificing specs vs ICE. My expectation is as prices continue to fall cheaper and cheaper cars will becom

I'm confused. Are they more or less expensive? My presumption is you meant cheaper?

Why would it do that? You're asking for a raw memory address value.

Really? The more focused a company is (the more reliant it is on its core service) the more accountable it can be. I'd argue many companies are if anything more accountable than the government. It doesn't have to be true, but I&#x

Even backed by batteries renewables are still winning. How good things look depends on how much battery you decide to include, but fortunately we don't need that much battery, especially while we still have some legacy dispatchable gen

It's presumably not practical to find a multi-GW load to test with aside from the grid. The plant probably had arrangements in place if things didn't work out.

Agreed. Nuclear is cool but beaten in so many ways by the current renewable revolution. Distributed, low risk, cheap energy generation backed by batteries seems strictly superior to nuclear generation.

It's mostly practical, I think. Not all assets can be valued, or are liquid. Once a transaction occurs though you have both a price to tax on and the money to pay the tax.

I find people generally underestimate the generation capacity of solar, both per cost and per area. A rooftop of solar will produce enough energy for multiple households easily. The main constraints is storage.

What's that even supposed to mean? Renewable generation would be much more secure than comparable centralised generation because you'd need so many more resources to knock it out. If i were an adversary I'd much rather my ene

Like it's impossible to get another job? We can't babysit people their whole lives, nor should we subsidise jobs that don't need to be done. I recognise I'm privileged in saying that, but even so the vast majority of peo

Jobs are the dumbest argument anyway. It's obviously better to produce X with 0 jobs than X with 100 jobs. Most people just don't seem to understand that economically instead of accruing some benefit to 100 people, everyone else g

You don't need to beat the bookies, you need to beat the odds. The bookies win either way. All they need to do is make sure bets on each side net out, minus their take. If you have a reliable way to beat the odds (ie. Inefficient betti

Can't speak to your specific circumstances, but often bike lanes are just terrible. They allow cars to park in them, or they are too narrow, or they are blocked by construction, etc. In general far less consideration is given to the bl

But not cheap. Gas peakers are cheap compared to nuclear, and arguably much more appropriate for the foreseeable future when it comes to making up for renewable energy's inconsistency problems. I mostly disagree with your initial asser

That's really interesting. I wonder if the immune system is modal - I know there are tons of systems in place that kick it into gear for response to an infection, so I guess its reasonable to assume that the body prefers to keep it as

4TB seems like the upper end for most normal consumers, I would hazard. We had 1-2TB HDDs a decade ago, and there's been little reason to go higher in the consumer space. Arguably SSDs only now getting cheap enough at those capacities
323.
by Panzer04 2y ago
SSDs still degrade, though - Optane was mooted for something like this, but still ended up being too expensive and not good enough at either (unprofitable) in the end. Pushing 10GB/s on an SSD with 1000TBW write endurance would kill it

1kj is nothing. That's 0.3wh, or 0.0003kwh.

It seems to me the real problem is that repairs are, in general, labour intensive. Few products today are sufficiently valuable that a repair is better than a new item. Cars are worth fixing, a 10$ shirt is not, if you value your time. This

For what its worth, I largely agree with you. The world shouldn't be about milking everything you can while giving nothing.

This sounds surprisingly short. Surely the average person with cancer isnt going to live just three additional years? Went and did a brief lookup ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6710558/ ) - life

Cells in parallel don't really need to be matched, within reason. So long as one isn't failing it generally doesn't matter. Arguably if you mixed energy cells with power cells that can cause problems, but only if you're

You can be pretty liberal about cells in parallel, it's series that bites you. He's using a 5s arrangement, it looks like - so his 100w fast charging will only be around 5-6A, not 30A, which those wires will probably be OK with (t

There kind of are. 14500 is the lithium AA equivalent, although the predominant standards are 18650 and 21700.
