I misspoke. They've been very quick to react to Ukranian intel. If they were staffed, perhaps they'd have the capability to be proactive, but I can't necessarily say they would be motivated to, esp. when the military is d

I’m not unaware of his behavior since, but people are complicated, so is ‘growth’, and I try to resist the urge to see only one side of the equation.

I think intention matters here. It’s great for those people who are helped by Mr. Beast, but it’s coming from a place of ego and profit, not charity. Happy for those helped, but it’s still a little unseemly. However, I do think Musk genuine

Depends on the price of batteries, which are rapidly declining. Within the next few years the numbers will change in favor of batteries. Though it also depends on the load and having enough space/sunlight for the solar array

I’m not saying privacy doesn’t matter, I’m saying that there aren’t any enforced guardrails on this growth mechanism to protect it. It’s an illusion of choice. Government intervention is really needed here

I meant that it doesn’t matter if you deny because your friends will sell you out.

I agree. It's getting more and more pointless to avoid SoC. No need to do expensive bus transports when you can just stay on-die. The only upgradeability that's needed is to swap out entire SoCs.

Thought this too. The example queries look very much like Ecto statements. I miss the ergonomics and flexibility of Ecto when I use database wrappers on other platforms.

Yeah, that's why I qualified with 'could'. Really depends on what facilities the hardware and driver provide. If the GPU is on the same die, perhaps the latency isn't great, but I really don't have the data on tha

There's a lot to unpack here. But firstly, "enjoying the process" and "enjoying the result" aren't really in binary opposition. If one weren't to 'enjoy the process' but only 'enjoy the re
