I wonder if there’s an on device AI equivalent of PA semi (the company Apple acquired over a decade ago which gave them incredible ARM chip design capabilities in house). Because that’s where they could leapfrog the others. They care enough

No, I am merely pointing out that they are already in a very precarious position that Google (who is notorious for "ending" projects) could decide to cancel that funding source overnight. I don't know what the solution is. Ma

Anyone have good resources that explain why we don’t just use super/ultra capacitors as batteries? Is it going to happen eventually or is it not practical?

You’re 100% correct that browsers aren’t a viable business model. But neither is getting 80% of your revenue from a company that probably only keeps you alive so they can show you off as healthy competition. Both things can be true. Is ther

It is so crazy that nearly 90% (most recently 80%) of Mozilla's revenue comes from a direct competitor. That is positively insane, and should be total fodder for an anti-trust case against Google, shouldn't it? "One of your b

But it does change the whole feel of a site and make it not palatable to large swaths of users. Because it's one thing if you can say "I just won't follow porn accounts" – it's a whole other thing if the feed is als

Yeah this is a good point. I have never had range anxiety on the road, but have had a bit more when I get to certain destinations. But we also haven't been to any place in the US yet where we were hundreds of miles away from a supercha

While that sounds interesting on paper, what sort of problem is this solving, exactly? Even during my childless-with-gas-car days, the most we'd drive without stopping was maybe 3 hours. I would think even professional truckers would s

This looks like it's written in Elixir (the docs are using ExDocs, Elixir's documentation toolset). This can't possibly be the actual search index rules (which is probably code that's decades old, my guess is either in P

Does this include the cellular plan? Then it's probably fine. But if we'd still have to get an additional cellular plan on top of this, then it's silly.

Apple doesn't see any of your location data when it comes to Find My. It's usually end-to-end encrypted.

There's been "School Mode" on apple watches for years now. It's a distraction-free mode.

Agreed, but then again, you see a stupid sentence like this later in the article: > Jack Sweeney, the jet tracking student who made Elon Musk cry like a baby – and realize, wait, I'm not really sure this is any kind of legitimate ne

I don't know much about Jurvetson (apart from him being a VC) but his passion, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of each of these items in the video is infectious. Very cool stuff.

I still miss WordPerfect. I used to prefer it to MS Word. And it's been 25 years since I last used it.

No... I never suggested that. But all those other instances are getting the right amount of press coverage (and more).

Yeah I was wondering exactly this when reading this article. Are we ever going to investigate whether this is an intentional act by the CCP to surreptitiously weaken parts of our population? If so, that would be egregious.

You're so right, it's utterly distracting to read a statement written in all lower case. It looks like it was written in a sloppy way and nobody actually proofread it. I think Sergey Brin used to do the same thing (or maybe it was

So it probably could be MORE about reducing the west's access to modern chips rather than gaining an advantage for their stuff? I have to imagine a lot of the expertise with the EUV stuff comes from ASML which is a Dutch company, thank

Wow this video is making me want to go and re-watch Terminator 2. Amazing. what a beautiful scene, words, everything. And it's objectively true.

What I also love is that you can ask it to explain with varying degrees of simplicity. You can say, ELI5 (like the Explain Like I'm 5 years old Subreddit), or explain it like a child, or explain it in very simple English (which is like

100% agree. I find that being able to put yourself in another person's shoes (whether you're understanding their motivations when designing solutions) etc, is absolutely key in performing all those. But it's also important to

This particular part to me is core: > In the town near our house there's a shop with a sign warning that the door is hard to close. The sign has been there for several years. To the people in the shop it must seem like this mysterio

There are companies that make battery packs the sizes of small ice coolers that can serve as a charging “hub” on your truck. Plus there are trucks like the f150 lighting that have electrical outlets so you could recharge in the field. Third

thanks! We are currently revamping that site because it’s just not converting and we suspect what you said is one of the reasons. We will have samples up in a couple weeks. But stay in touch! ashish@simplyscholar.com

Agreed. I just thought it was unnecessary to just paint one side as purely selfish.

I was saying the opposite. The parent poster is implying that there are only selfish reasons that someone would want society to have more families/kids. I was saying that it didn’t feel like they were arguing in good faith by ascribing

Having an aging workforce means you lose available skills. And aging population means you have more dependents than caretakers for them. An aging population in some parts of the world means you have fewer men to fight in a conflict (assumin
