I didn't make it past the first paragraph because I really can't stand the worst logic flaw in web performance being turned into a worldview. Hiding glaring flaws behind averages by just trying to overwhelm the average with a much

It seems so obvious to me too. Plain and simple physical distance correlating to inter-personal distance.

when your ipd is off its roughly the same thing as being slightly cross-eyed or slightly wall-eyed. if its small enough and the game is low-res enough it can not matter, but if you feel "eye strain" or a sortof between-the-eyes h

I think you're right in a way you don't mean to be. There was room for moderates in the 90's and 00's. We have unfortunately blown our time window for a moderate response. Think of it like knowing your paper is due at

at a meta level, these types of articles with a ridiculous headline and without any meaningful pictures or diagrams are infuriating. w/r/t the actual scientific discovery, i'm fascinated by how much of solving the overall ene

This sounds fairly similar to where Hyve [1] and Penguin Computing [2] fit in, so what does Oxide plan to do differently? [1] https://hyvesolutions.com/ [2] https://www.penguincomputing.com/

don't think of it as a deposit, think of it as reserving your place in line. whenever tesla gets around to being able to deliver you have to make up your mind, but at least you know you won't have to wait at the back of the line i

Cars in the US last on average 17 years, though there is a long tail that stretches out 25 and 30 years (mostly for "light trucks"). If we assume the goal is <1% ICE vehicles on the road by 2050, then we need all new cars to be

It is amazing how weird and poorly produced these things are. The cheesy outfits, the terrible lighting, the window demo failure. Its like they go out of their way to cut corners and look unprofessional to strike some kind of authenticity

I really like the way the author tries to ballpark orders of magnitude and compare against known-budgetary-things for frames of reference. That said, talk of 10/tonne is pure fantasy, the real band is between 100 and 1000, so the anal

its not over the top, its under the top. it is only your social-triangulation-reflex that makes you feel its over the top. 4C is a fucking nightmare, no one should be at all unclear about that. I think aspects of 2C and most of 3C will b

right? a much more realistic projection is solidly into the 100s, but if I hadn't self-policed myself down an order of magnitude it would have been even more downvoted or even flagged. people think of being a climate change denier as

sorry but that 75k and that 5 are at least 2x too optimistic. also, direct sales deals require direct sales people who then expect direct deposited bonuses. its kindof like the tyranny of the rocket equation, you can't afford sales

"The price is usually given in CPM (cost per mille - cost per thousand impressions), so if an ad has a cpm of 10$, one single impression is worth 0.01$ ! (The average cpm, at the time of writing, is around 1$ if you were asking)."

for context, 60 tonnes is two fully loaded 40 foot shipping containers. if you could make it battery-electric and autonomous, then you've solved for global shipping emissions (cuz we don't need the ships anymore).
