"Each chip is programmed with the timing settings and storage size settings of just the RAM we ship it with, and doesn't know how to boot with anything else." I don't know if you could call that "blocking." I m

The fact that so many people are paying for starlink suggests that it is adding something important that was missing before.

I doubt it’s the end of AI access in Europe. Even if they do fine them 3% of global turnover, that’s probably a small enough fraction of their European revenue that it’s worth the risk. After all if they drop European traffic it’s not like

The “spending floodgates” have not materially changed direction in any of the last four administrations. Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, debt service and the military. Besides those five factors everything else is only a quarter of nat

Love coffee, drink it every day. This study is just as useful as other studies that correlate coffee with negative outcomes. Which is to say, it’s a study that just shows some correlations. Causation is not particularly likely. Drink coffee

I don’t know too many unsuccessful people, to be honest, so it’s hard for me to evaluate the contrapositive. The few unsuccessful people I do know definitely show a pattern of not working as hard as the typical successful person I know. I d

Yes, that’s exactly the implication. I.e. the connection is downstream of success/hard work/intellect, not upstream of it.

I think we have many very decent measures of intellect. It’s true that none of them are perfect but I think it’s basically propaganda to say we can’t define or measure it at all.

Surprised to be the first person to point this out. The entire premise of the article is dependent on a single study that definitely cannot demonstrate causation. The results of the study could equally well be explained by a third variable

Could just be that whatever factor causes certain cabbies to live much longer than their cohort is also protective from Alzheimer’s. I guess they might have accounted for that too — I’ll have to look at the study.

Good luck with that. It’s bad advice. But people will have to read the law and take risks as seems appropriate to them.

I don’t think a shell LLC is gonna help you avoid the requirement to register a car you own as a New York resident. The law in New York requires that for the vehicle to be considered non-resident it be garaged at the out-of-state place of b

There’s more to it than just not antagonizing the guards. I mean if you make them mad by doing something that is legal that’s probably not ideal for you practically speaking, but it’s not the end of the world. Destroying evidence while they

I know this is not "as designed," but I kind of like it? Because, as long as it stays this way, it's still at least possible to tell if a human wrote something. Like, I know it's not much, but it gives you the ability to

They've also been way behind before, and caught up to being only a little behind. We'll see how things shake out. We're deep in the present but who knows how things will look a year or two in the future.

The tribes have a history of being more pragmatic about buildings that would be considered distasteful elsewhere. Smart to at least explore this option, and if deals can be made then it seems like a fine outcome.

Do you have telemetry about how often systems are overcommitted due to Windows Media Player memory usage? I'll bet Microsoft does.

I normally don't have notepad.exe or the windows media player open, so it's irrelevant. Chrome, clangd, rustc, etc. are all that matter. Optimizing anything else fails the pareto principle. I definitely do not want Microsoft payin

Very few users care about how much RAM their media player uses. The practical difference between 370MB and 100MB is basically nil for any normal workload. It affects nothing but how many unlikely-to-be-used files fit in the page cache.

I definitely agree that kindness as a default is never a bad choice. There does come a time when a skill deficit becomes too much of a drag to the team and a sign of irresponsibility on the part of the practitioner, but it's the except

Not a very good test. Too easy to guess many of the words, and the words seem to follow a theme. For example my list had five or six that had to do with speaking too much or too little (verbose, lugubrious, and a few others in that vein). A

No, I don't think people who live in houses they choose to buy, mostly happily, can be compared to fentanyl addiction. There is something essential lost in the simile.

It is not always best to communicate openly. Honesty without kindness is cruelty. It does a learner no good to hear that you are shocked by a skill deficit. If you're planning to be around people who are in a learning space, you should
