I feel like this is akin to one of those Stanford psychology experiments, but in political science/cultural development, i.e. what happens when you bomb a country back to the stone age (interregnum post-Qiang dynasty, then WWII), but t

I remember seeing posted on here, someone trying to reverse engineer or reverse compile the code for a VW ECU unit. I would love a deep dive into, say a BMW or Porsche ECU, steering/suspension software, etc. Although I assume the lik

Another part of this is that I think the intel line will probably be on "maintenance mode" at Apple for now; the best and brightest engineers are probably all working on Apple Silicon products...

In this case, I think Apple does as well. It seems extremely focused on Mac/iOS user workloads and by all means does them extremely well. That it matches or beats x86 general purpose CPUs in synthetic benchmarks is an added bonus. I

how are pentagon planners dealing w/ emerging tech hacking/jamming/spoofing GPS signals? I recall something along this sort being posted to HN a few days back, as well as this being perhaps the means of how Iran captured a U

I hope the B-1B is cheaper in terms of total cost to operate than in the Reagan era...I seem to recall chatter that it was something of a hangar queen

I supposed I should have read it more carefully. It refers to phenelzine which is...both. It's nonselective so it's an A and B inhibitor. How good is it, I cannot say as not a lot of people prescribe it anymore. The problem wit

selegiline is cheap. Rasagiline is available but I suspect cost inflated. However, I don't think either are targeted at depression, esp at the doses available.

Granted...through some weird HHS/medicare loophole, this is commercializable. Our center has a AI "stroke/clot" detector algorithm software, that's based on a training set of 50 CTs. It's ok, say at a 2nd yea

MIT has some amazing exhibits of this stuff in one of their main buildings; not sure if they still have that degree offered. I want to say US MMA or something like that might have a program.

This is simply a matter of adding more cores...I mean, I would hope the 5950x with its 16 full strength cores would be better than an M1 with it's big/little design...

The question in my mind - even if Intel executes on its core competencies, has the market and its' structures moved on to make their vertical setup obsolete?

Partly, also as a user interested in the future of software we depend on, and also the "kremlinology" of the thing. True or no, it's Eich's assertion that Mozilla is top-heavy, and they certainly haven't been able

I kind of wonder how many Mozilla developers/engineers jumped ship to Brave over the years?

Actually I'd be curious to see how a Korean Chaebol works in this regard. At various points, Apple was competing w/ Samsung (mobile phones) to get fab space on Samsung (chip fab), and I think at various times different parts of S

What I'm curious is; is how Nuvia and the departure of Williams et al impacted their ability to do this?

I think the telling thing is would you see a Nadella (and indeed, a Jobs)-like pivot when he takes over. i.e. axe old design/business models that don't work and fully embrace new ones.

This. I think if China wanted to go all out, it could take Taiwan via massive force but it would be extremely costly for them and I don’t think the calculus of risk vs benefit adds up for them politically or practically. They certainly ca

yes, I think that is the bear point in the "Intel is doomed" analysis. I think at what point would the market/demand be financially worthwhile for another company to put up with the upfront costs of building a fab to compete

It's interesting how the background of a lot of stories in the world have something to do with land rights. It's definitely not a common narrative from which to tell the stories, but astute historians certain keep land rights and
