Sadly, the English language is not precise enough for me to express what I wanted in a compact way. Recently I have been learning Ukrainian and there is a language where it is easy to precisely express this kind of thought due to the many d

This is fascinating to me. What fraction of companies in Croatia are "money laundering"? Because if the fact is that most companies start out this way, and we end up with Rimac due to a magical grouping of people, then their succe

Yes, and I recall my XML geek co-worker back in 2004 saying how the friend-of-a-friend co-linking XML schema was going to win over this new social network stuff... what did you call it? Linked-In?

Right, and then have local services interacting with no cloud support, or phone integration. But this is absolutely not "consumer" by any means. If my grandmother can't do it, you failed the simplicity test. This is exactly w

I'm not so sure it can be simple, reliable, and future proof, at least not in the consumer space. Everyone is chasing the lowest price, and it has to compete with existing solutions that are cheap, like just putting a filter on a white

The need is certainly clear. The call this blog post makes urges action and provides useful guidance on how to get that action moving. However, without legislative forcing, no such action will occur, and we will remain in the current regime

They introduced LIDAR into the iPhone Pro 12 and every Pro since has had it. So if you want that 3D camera (which works great, btw) you gotta spring for the Pro.

There is no doubt that some people can succeed without the structure of a college institution, but many people do NOT . And not everyone knows the tricks for connecting with quality and knowledgeable people who are invested in your persona

Exactly. People's plans get pushed out into the evenings or during the less busy times, absorbed, then forgotten as collateral damage.

Fundamentally, college is about building skills and networking with people. Leveraging AI should be taught in all college curriculum since it is a power multiplier for everyone. This idea that AI is making college irrelevant is completely a

Can anyone calculate the dollars-per-request revenue and profit? Would be interesting to see how much it costs Amazon to make money and make some connection to the request rate.

Hey, I can entertain the possibility without attaching much weight to whether it is true or not. It doesn't really change anything anyway.

My wife at the time was in the same boat. A virus hit our household in Feb 2020, she got super sick with many of the expected symptoms for COVID and remained foggy for months. However, we were living in Oregon, near the vaccine research fac

What I really want is "nice" cycling routes, and then doing the longest paths. Many times I've tried to find the longest path that doesn't repeat from my house where I do not intersect with automobile traffic, or taking

It does, but only once you put a destination into the navigator. At that point, the car will tell you how much power remains at the end of the trip (and for a return trip) and that number in my experience is always highly accurate.

You're talking about hypermiling, and that isn't the condition under which the Tesla EPA ratings are achieved. I have done hypermiling from time to time (and Tesla's navigation will request you do it if your range runs low) a

Right, and the one that is accurate is what you get when you put in a destination. The car can't tell you how far you can go if it doesn't know where you are going, because of all these factors (altitude gain, direction of wind, s

Do we actually know that the fields are infinite? I thought it was just the easiest way to model what we know and can observe.

I view the von Neumann architecture as more of a reference. When you get down to it, there's so much hardware trickery at play that it isn't easy to cleanly say that any specific computer fits precisely into what Von Neumann was d
