Samsung Foundry exists, and Nvidia used them for the 30 series iirc. TSMC just doesn't have that much pricing power as a result. Their best processes are obviously good, but if they try to gouge too much customers probably just take th

The solution to these problems? Don't be a customer of said abusive company. If they don't present value for money at a given price point (including these sorts of shenanigans), don't buy it. So long as you know about these i

The problem is attacking sugar doesn't really fix the problem. Being fat is a problem with overeating as a whole, not necessarily with sugar. That's part of the issue with policy - often it's not getting at the real heart of

Assuming LK99 is legitimate, my hope is that the principles that make it work are more broadly applicable - and with that, refined production processes or newer alloys can be found. Simply knowing that it's possible would lead to a hug

The kind of bombs an amateur can put together will probably do a lot less damage in an airport queue than on a 777. Seriously damage an airliner and like as not you can kill everyone on board, whereas the same bomb in even a busy public spa

Why this rather than a tax to achieve your desired externalities? The problem with this kind of policy is it's very arbitrary - some bureaucracy decides what is and isn't allowed. It also usually comes with a subtext of attacking

It's a bit frustrating having to "subscribe" and cancel almost everything. I barely signup to anything and I still forget that I'm subscribed to things. Companies are fully aware that many, many people forget about charg

This is one of those cases where the benefits of zoos in terms of public outreach etc probably help more than a bunch of isolated habitats that aren't maintainable without public awareness and support. I guess you can argue from a pers

I don't think anyone thinks collective self-sacrifice necessarily unintelligent. But in the context of human psyche and society, seriously advocating for such a thing could only occur if the people making the decisions did not know if

What's wrong with microwaves? Aside from their mechanism of heating, what do they do differently to food to anything else? Arguably they get the outsides of some foods much hotter than otherwise, but I'm not sure how true that mig

What makes you think it's unsafe? The amount of people using it without obvious problems indicates it's not obviously unsafe, and presumably most people just go with the flow (as I do - I'd assume that if there were problems

Right, but these judgements have yet to be levied. The problem they are solving with this maneuver is ensuring a common/fair result for the people suing, without the "unreasonable" step of declaring bankruptcy on the company

In what way have they done that? I'm sure there.must be a massive lawsuit about it.

I thought safety glass was meant to crumble? Ie. Into small lumps rather than huge sharp shards. Disclaiming the specific failure mode sounds dodgy as hell.

Given J&J has yet to actually incur these damages, declaring bankruptcy seems a bit over the top.

Given government regulations are the reason many neighbourhoods turn into the things you dislike, I sincerely doubt giving them yet more responsibility and control would help.

It doesn't really matter. You should insulate anyway to save energy, but a heat pump will still use 1/4 the energy as resistive electric for the same heat. Depends on your gas prices as to whether it's worth it, but it almost

Most bugs I've worked on relate to some weirdness that requires tracking down a specific nonobvious offending function. How would GPT help with that at all? Maybe if you know a particular function is wrong, and ask it to find a bug, bu

I think the strongest edge one can have is to be able to invest independent of any market sentiment. If a stock looks cheap, and according to your research it is cheap, then you need to be able to ignore any market sentiment regarding that

In theory, you remove government overhead. Government bureacracies are infamous for expanding without the requirement to make a profit as a constraint. As it pertains to power, People tend to promote government as a means to make it cheaper

It's a bit odd how hostile everyone here is acting. Sure, it's a bit silly, but hardly worthy of the kind of vitriol directed towards his "abuse".

"somehow" I don't get this attitude. Shit happens, we talk about it, we don't do it again. Not everything needs to have dire consequences.

At the risk of being glib, of course not? People have a hard on for regional areas, but the practical reality is people enjoy the benefits of living in cities too much to want to live in rural areas. They are also way worse at actually prov

GPUs cost a lot to exploit a small price issue like this. I would use a dirt cheap heat element heater - presumably you could acquire these very cheaply and get paid to use power. The problem usually is that there's a physical cap on h

The western Australian example just demonstrates why petrostates are wealthy - if you have big energy resources you can make stuff cheaper, surprise! And realistically all that's really happening there is west Australia is effectively

Presumably because it is such an outlier. Similar in a sense to nuclear, where disasters are often either catastrophic or nonissues.

IMO APPL has much more downside risk than upside benefit at this price. Yes, they have a locked-in consumer customer base, but they are very much resting on their laurels. That would be fine, but not at this kind of multiple, in my opinion.

It's not quite as a dramatic a difference as it appears - most petrol engines are going to be in the region of 30% efficiency, vs an electric motor at ~80-90% (or perhaps more?). Still, talking 5000Wh equivalent to 250, or a 20x differ

It seems hard to justify a 50% take rate for this kind of service. I guess 50% is better than nothing, but it's still kind of shit. If apple is trying to be an aggregator (ie. drive traffic) it makes more sense, but for most news servi

It's unfortunate - the issue is in the age of the internet people read news from many different sources. Subscribing to a single source just isn't worth it unless you are a truly regular reader. I'm surprised there hasn'
