I’ve never thought about it until SVB collapse, but I wonder how they address the risk of a liquidity crisis? Do they hold assets other than their customer’s deposits? Are they even a bank?

Isn’t that offloaded to the underlying hardware? Presumably they have sufficient control at that level for their current lineup, but I’m not sure what it means for aftermarket disks and external disks.

An upgradeable GPU is a game changer for laptops. Have you settled on an existing standard like MXM, or a new one?

A standardised laptop GPU connector could be a game changer and would be a killer feature. There have been a few false starts in that space with MXM, but they never really took off. It’s often the first thing people upgrade on a desktop (it

I’m not sure if you’re trying to say that more people have watched a particular episode of IASIP, or a classic action adventure movie from a very popular film franchise?

Not sure why it needs an acceleromete, gyro or gps, and the solar circuitry might not be required for all use cases. Seems a bit over engineered, unless they were gearing towards a roving platform your could put on the back of your bike, or

Both seagate and WD are in late stages of developing new platforms that will double the density, with 50TB disks expected around 2025-6.

At this stage, they’re so intertwined with every day life that additional regulation—or removal of subsidies—will cause widespread impacts across many commercial industries, let alone unnecessary personal transport. The only ‘saviour’ from

I think volunteer folding will always need to compete with crypto mining, and the appeal may be further diminished if commercial interests are likely to reap the rewards. Perhaps if there was a way to combine mining and folding, to allow pa

I learnt how to repair pianos, then learnt pd (after tooling around in SuperCollider and Reaktor). …am I doing it right?

Interestingly, the transistor density of GPUs has been following a roughly logarithmic curve since 2000, compared to the linear increase in x86 processors [1]. I totally agree that the incremental innovations observed in earlier GPU platfor

> Honestly who at Apple signed off on Stage Manager before basic window snapping?! My money is that the iPad team are steering a lot of these decisions as part of a broader strategy to converge their desktop and mobile platforms.

Despite the implication of malice that other comments seem to be directing at Microsoft, this just seems like a bit of an oversight (i.e. inexperience) on behalf of the school’s IT team. Nonetheless, I would have expected MS to ensure that

It’s possible to set a custom filter in iOS, which reduces the brightness even further, but only in one colour, ie red. Better than nothing. The main issue i think is that backlights tend to flicker at low brightness.

Beautiful - such a great idea pairing it with a quality book like this. Iirc there was a similar product, or was there only the scope?

Perpetual motion and free energy stuff was interesting things to read about back in early 2000’s internet (around the time when conspiracy theories were kind of niche). The only thing of interest recently has to be the EmDrive [1] - only b
