Reserve currencies are in a somewhat better position to monetise their debt without defaulting. I think this is what will happen with USD over time. I think this is also why many governments have been on a gold buying spree for the last cou

The point wasn't to moralise or to ponder about the purpose of companies. Nothing wrong with returning money to shareholders. However doing it with debt, rather than with profits, sounds like financial engineering taking advantage of t

I would also start with IHarmU. His own music is great, but the vocal harmonisations of simple melodies sent by people are mindblowing, and there isn't any complex production masking his genius. There is a definite Take 6 influence the

Looks interesting! How do you generate the hover states, if they are not in the sketch file? Do you have to structure the layers/components in a certain way, or do you use ML from pixel data? Any plans for Figma/React?

All I'm saying is iMessage could be a lot bigger than it is, if it was a universal app. And right now it's becoming irrelevant compared to WhatsApp etc. I see a lot of upside and not a lot of downside for Apple here

just to understand - do you use this to avoid out of rhythm periods when excercising (by monitoring your heart rate), and then to have some evidence of less and less AF over time, thanks to the excercise?

Photogrammetry isn't really about stereoscopy, it's about building a dense point cloud representation based on many images from different angles, then transforming that to a mesh (and often mapping the textures from photos onto it

I think trees are a fantastic building material. If left to rot in nature, much of the carbon will slowly be released back to the atmosphere. The carbon sequestering abilities of trees also slow down after a certain age. Now this doesn&#x27

It's certainly true iMessage isn't monetised today, but it doesn't mean it couldn't be in the future. If China is anything to go by, people do everything on their IM app. Lock in - how many people are locked into Apple b

Why the announcement? Is it to protect Oculus/FB so it doesn't look like he's bailing out of VR? Couldn't he just have said "I'm taking some time off" and then make an announcement when there's someth

..or it could be an opportunity for them. Apple relies more and more on services for growth. For instance, why not make iMessage into a cross-platform app, as a real privacy-focused competitor to Whatsapp, Telegram etc?

Pretty bad. There is pytorch for rocm (AMD's CUDA emulation) but I don't think anyone actually uses it. https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/pytorch/issues I don't think you'll be doing much

If your work pays for it, just get a prebuilt box. If you're buying it for yourself, it's easy to DIY. I just built a 3900x with 32gb (you could easily add more), super easy, cost me £800 total for cpu, ram and mobo. The only thin

I agree it's going to be a combination of solutions with energy storage, depending on what you need. Batteries are good for short-term, portable storage. The other solutions you mentioned may be better for long-term, non-portable stora
