As AI ascends, we'll see an economic pivot: more chip foundries, amplified research, and cheaper compute for AI training and deployment. Having the best won't always be the goal—'good enough' often suffices, setting a ba

'Small' is relative; a 2014 RAV4 tips the scales at 3,500 pounds, just 200 more than a Camry, and extends a mere 10 inches longer. Such margins barely nudge it past sedan territory by American standards, making the 'small SUV

RAII ties resource management to lexical scope but doesn't strictly "require" it. Reference counting vs. GC cost varies by context—neither is universally "more expensive." Both RAII and GC have their merits; their u

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I have very little sympathy for writers. The work today is on average horrible, derivative and opposite of inspired. I'm at the point where I'm almost ready for AI to take over. It&#

The thing is, aspartame is one of the most well studied chemicals in the human food system. It's also a favorite target of the sugar lobby. Really, what needs to happen most of all, is to let special interest out of nutritional researc

The Griphen can cost as much as a F-35, with F-16 performance. It takes decades for the maintenance cost to catch up to the sticker price when comparing it to something like a F-16. There is also relatively little Griphen stock out there, s
