Better cell design and better chemistry both contribute to safety, and I think the Blade’s primary innovation here is their cell design

Yep. Insulin pumps can kill their owner and the software updates need to be FDA approved: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4773959/

If it’s a ridiculous premise, then why do we even try? Apple added Contact Key Verification to eliminate one possible class of attack involving a lack of user transparency. Still trusting a whole lot of trust in the stack, but is an improve

Going back to the original claim: > Apple claims iMessage is E2EE, do we have proof they aren't siphoning the messages from the client once it's been decrypted? The answer here is no. Yes, making a wild claim afterwards is lazy

Is implicitly trusting authority the hacker spirit?

Open source schematics and a closed Supercharger network until this year, at least in the US. It's hard to separate Tesla's intentions in opening up their charging network from the legislation in both the US and EU incentivizing i

Isn't Tesla actively hostile towards charging network interoperability?

The specific execution of an idea is also an idea, though I feel like the granularity of patents is defined more so by where the frontier of knowledge is for a given domain than the patent office (i.e. what is hard but also valuable). But,

Yeah – to be clear, I am not doing it for any particular element of physical health or circadian rhythm, I am just trying to emulate sunlight for aesthetic reasons (yum, red spectrum coverage) Smart bulbs sacrifice on light quality for colo

Film lights are fantastic for emulating daylight. I got two of these, $350, but they’re fantastic and I use them in place of my crappy ceiling lights: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1753990-REG/amaran_

“Microsoft gave few technical details that would allow gauging the chips' competitiveness versus those of traditional chipmakers” Clearly. All I got was “using ARM IP” and “TSMC N5”

Yeah. Norway has insane hydroelectric resources thanks to the glaciers (the fjords), so the irony is that they don't even use oil to power the country.

I would pay money for a GPT that was incredible at naming types in Swift I’d pay for one that was good at programming rubber ducking There are specific sub-tasks that everyone would pay for to make their lives easier. This marketplace is tr

I also hate that I have to choose. I purchased 10mg caffeine gummies and was optimistic, but, like you, even if I have two at 7am I feel the effects at 11pm when trying to sleep. I wish I could alter the amount or intake mechanism and be

Colorado legislators and legislators from other states were drafting legislation to give communities right of first refusal to buy the property from the owner (i.e. a loan secured against the land, financed by residents), not sure where tha

Those two sentences feel in contradiction of one another. You don’t need worry to about where the bits go, you just need to know to call a method to move the bits? Swift makes every type implicitly copyable on the stack, including object po

I agree with this general feeling, and it is hard to articulate Rust forces you to figure out ahead of time where each bit or byte is going to go and on which thread and using which mutation scheme. I’m happy to play the game, but it feels

Tesla started the race to the bottom for battery prices. They could disappear tomorrow but their positive externalities would live on. I hate Tesla as a company and won’t ever buy their products, but I will still benefit immensely from thei

Qualcomm already ships SoCs for Surfaces, Chromebooks and Galaxy Books. Those chips lag in performance, and I’m curious how much of them catching up will just be “updating to the latest ARM IP” NVIDIA also shipped Tegra SoCs with their own

Defense-in-depth is always best practice in security. The more layers the attacker has to break and the harder each layer is, the better. All layers can and will be broken. Apple has spent a long time hardening the JavaScriptCore web sandbo

The US has terrible cost disease in a lot of industries, and I would lump executive compensation in with those industries. I don’t think I’ve seen a good coherent theory for this specifically

Yeah, I would do public service for free, personally, but I have the means to. It’s an interesting filter to pay nothing, for sure! At that point, it is filtering for people who can afford their own lifestyles without a job

by conradev 3y ago
I think it is a misunderstanding that the job market is optimizing for fairness: it is not. Executive pay is supply and demand. The mayor is being paid $450k because a person with the necessary skills was willing to take that salary (after

A hybrid engine is an engine. Engines are hard to build, and Toyota is very good at it. Electric vehicles don’t have engines, only motors, and motors are far easier to build. If Tesla is a battery factory searching for more things to put ba

Thank you for posting this – it is important context: "When his schemes won’t get picked by NIST, people will think it’s because they are not backdoored, and will point at the FOIA lawsuit as evidence."
