context is always important. It's bad if wages are also kept stagnant (and maybe artificially so by whoever's employing those people). For your 1 year old, it's not a problem if that $1000 is invested in say an S&P fund

Tbh, probably completely off topic, but the first thing that came to mind are alcohol regulations at least in CA preventing vineyards and distilleries from opening or operating restaurants...hence the rise in "educational tasting/

There must have been some kind of calculation. Akin to some sort of overall spec. This vaguely reminds me of some prior HN article about a Spanish submarine that ended up being a laughingstock because the engineer in charge accidentally a

I hope this is still true - there are moves, at least in the services division and associated products, that seem like short term money grabs, vs. part of a long term "customer experience-first" vision....

I wonder if a lot of it is also going to supplier/worker infrastructure...Apple tried it in limited ways but I think a lot of it fell through due to, either US workers not having the right sort of technical education, vs. all the infra

I would agree with this seeing public statements by LASD (Villeneueva) here in LA and his colleagues in Riverside and Orange Counties, as well as counterparts in police unions, and also unofficial chatter on twitter and elsewhere. It'

i suspect the academic lab's definition of open source is more "loosey goosey", i.e., "is the technique published in a paper/poster and can it be reimplemented by our grad students/postdocs?" If so...Ope

I wonder if the "most private" way to do this would be to distribute as a jupyter notebook or some sort of local bundle/distro to run as a local webapp?

I think it's considered a variation on hyperekplexia; if I recall, Marie Saint-Hilaire at BUMC did some case series and research into this.

A few thoughts: -I've noticed the overall experience of downloading and installing on a lot of "classic" windows apps making installing a little dicier- ads are served on the download page, and look like official install link

Actually - regardless of the performance of this, and perhaps this is orthogonal to their GPU - with the global crunch in chips/GPU, would this be a natural market space for Intel, especially with the new foundry services, to compete?

I kind of wonder if parts of the program would be useful, i.e. make a "platform" like the fighter plane version of React.js or Swift UI and manufacturers and plug and play a new airplane out of the tech developed for it?

yeah...that's what seems to make it especially tricky. There would have to be a good lawyer involved, and I'm not sure how they would find a trusted third party to be the conservator...

I think this sort of self-perpetuating bureaucracy bloat has characterized most post-war weapons development in the Pentagon. The F-16 was an exception and success from what I understand, because of what another poster above refers to as

Given the energy requirements and how it's kind of morphed into this beast of greed, I'm inclined to agree....but how to pull this off? Fiat bans cannot really work well against just doing math. Taxation schemes/financial re

I kind of wonder - how much of the valuation is actually in cars/car sales vs. the charger/battery infrastructure and expertise that they are building?

not being well versed in the embedded/industrial field, I wonder if there is any group of automotive specific engineers/suppliers looking at how electronics are made for these things. I assume there is expertise over the decades
