Don't worry, Clownlon will quickly rewrite the Twitter API service this weekend, make it as "beautiful as Niagra Falls", and hand it off to the Twitter engineers to maintain.

Higher ups from these companies complain about lack of "high IQ" talent yet don't want to budge on offering competitive salaries. I have a smart friend who worked for ASML as a contractor, and they would give him empty promis

100% agreed. Understanding calculus lets one understand rates of change and thereby modeling. If you know the fundamentals of modeling via calculus, the understanding of so many things opens up and goes beyond just being able to understand

Good for the engineer who is an expert in those audio and video testing and can get hired for the role. We should be thankful engineering has provided many folk who were previously poor, an opportunity to rise to the middle class simply by

I linked an article above, I suggest you read it before asserting that my issues with solar are simply irrelevant. Here are others: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/germanys-stress... https:/&#x2

Is it really scripting or just feeding the code into the swift cli which then compiles it? I recall writing Swift scripts also, and when feeding it into the swift cli, there was some time delay that was comparable to compiling the program.

I don't think that comparison is fair at all. You're comparing concerns of a technology and how it scales, to how no one talks about physical keyboards and smart phones? That's not even remotely the same and is pretty dishone

Solar on earth makes sense in some contexts, but there's questions of how it's not scalable, clean up methods, local climate effects, is intermittent and causes the power grid instability. These are fair questions that should be l

Lots of conflicting views held by the scientific community: * Science is progressing too fast * Science is progressing too slow with not enough breakthroughs * The barrier to publish is too high and is wrought with politics * There's t

I think if you can write some pseudocode that summarizes the computation, it would help. I think I and others have seen the Github repo, but generally don't know where to start to analyze what it's doing. For example, for computer

Pretty funny how often when one brings up engineering challenges to solar, the challenges are ignored or handwaved. There's not even a back of the envelope calculation to prove the solution is scalable, maintainable, or cost effective

It looks like the paper specifically claims to create an optimized quantum algorithm for SR pair finding which is most time consuming part the Schnorr fatoring algorithm. It starts with a classical computational lattice problem, defines the

Can you quantitatively say that some cellular automata compute framework would give a broad or more accurate output than a typical linear compute framework? I fail to see how embedding some complex computation into a cellular automata frame

by ablatt89 4y ago
How exactly is the T2 architecture "indefinitely" scalable? You're adding various computers next to each other, fine. You might also claim that you have some generic cellular automata that in the future would somehow correlat

I agree, I think we're discounting genius insight as the primary driver of innovation and ground breaking science, and we can't expect genius insight to occur in some predictable time frame or a time frame even within a lifespan.

I think that the expectation that "ground-breaking" discoveries in science should follow some linear or predictable timetable is not reasonable. Is the time period between "ground-breaking" discoveries supposed to be eve

As others have mentioned, the double-split experiment is interesting in that when you leave a quantum system alone and let it travel through the double slit experiment, the interference pattern occurs. If you "force" an entangled

Legit, TeamBlind is full of crazies (like myself) but it's a great source of entertainment and ideas. It also gives you a good insight on what's going on in the market, and to see other high achievers also feel the exactly same as

Great points. Moderation is a very hard job, and good moderators understand they will likely be biased and can admit to it. I think moderation fairness problem is equivalent to the "auditing the auditor" problem; for some given ev

Funny enough, I know some engineers who go to work, non-remote, to escape from their wife and kids for a bit and work becomes an avenue to relax! And having to take care of an aging parent who lives with me, I can understand.

The 49ers stadium in Santa Clara has brought nothing but traffic, zero commercial or housing development. The Warriors' Chase Stadium helped vitalize Dogpatch but I guess one could argue that area was naturally going to be built up giv

The 49ers bring entertainment but the stadium built at the new location hasn't really brought much to the local community aside from lots of traffic on Sundays. I lived right next to the stadium for several years and there's been

I don't doubt that Worldcoin creators want to solve decentralized identity and give out coins to participants. It's just hard for me to see a path to which it scales or becomes practical for an exchange of goods, unless many gover

Okay fine, the image of someone's eyeballs are unique and we take some checksum, store it in Worldcoin block chain, and each individual gets some coins. This particular data is owned by the private key of each individual and can be use

It's not just lab work, I TA'd for physics and students would come to TA discussion sessions to get a more detailed lesson on the material covered that week since often the professor is just repeating the contents of a textbook. A

Pretty crazy because his engineering decision to lay off a huge chunk of engineering implying the Twitter engineering was easy and trivial was a huge part of him being an incompetent CEO. He doesn't really know how to code nor architec

I think it's a mix of both clash of ideologies, and attempts to outdoor the other with snarky responses. Throughout history political ideology has had strong opinions from opposing sides, but typical only a subset of people were given

100% agreed. Toxicity of social media comes from the "look at me!" and "I'm implicitly better than you" mentality. Most people have egos, which is fine and necessary, but social media gives free reign to let those w
