It probably makes things easier, but its unlikely that the industry that found a way to make foldables waterproof couldn't figure out a way to put rubber gaskets on battery covers. And in fact, they did, there were several devices intr

This might be partially true, but making them inacessible is still a great way approach to planned obsolescence and there's no way this was not part of the motivation. The fact that an entire industry exists to provide replacement batt

Interesting that its restricted to macOS. I know programmers almost exclusively use macOS, but regular folk primarily use windows for work. I might be a bit biased as an engineer, but even outside of my circle, I mostly see windows being us

I like that LLMs have basically switched to the weapons business model. Buy our LLM so that the bad guy we'll sell our LLM to doesnt destroy your code. As a bonus, we'll give you a little head start. And if you're a small co

Thank you, TIL about the parable of the broken window. I was thinking the same thing when reading the comments, surely that money would still benefit the economy if say it was invested in the education of a child, but it would also act as

I didn't really get it to be honest. I feel like something went over my head.

Its a shared path yes but by two sets of people going at two very different speeds, so I don't feel particularly guilty about the bell, though I do try to avoid it if possible.

That's not Arxiv's role. Arxiv does not manage any review process. It merely hosts preprints. The reviews will happen if you submit to an actual journal or conference, which is entirely independent of the arxiv submission.

Pessimistically, i imagine that's what they meant by "enormous asymmetry between the cost to create/build and the cost to destroy". Like its a lot easier to destroy an art piece in a museum than to create one.

The point isn't what this does to existing games. The bigger point to me is what it'll do to games of the future. I imagine in the future devs wont bother creating detailed faces anymore. instead make a very generic thing that the

> SDVs don’t have to be EVs, but they tend to go hand in hand. The large battery in an EV makes it easier to feed powerful computers, and it allows things like over-the-air updates to happen when the car is parked and “off.” Could Honda

The software defined car practically boils down to this: "It's not quite done yet, but we'll ship it anyway because we can fix it in post". And then two years later, "oh we've already sold them, why spend money

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it. Like what do you mean you put an entire computer inside the monitor just to run the webcam? And at the very least, couldn't you have put in the A18 pro that you put in the ne

Ah. I did indeed misunderstand. Also, as I said, I've got a personal stake, right at the tale end of the PhD, looking for jobs, so I guess im feeling pretty defensive. I certainly hope the general public doesn't feel this way, but

Yeah we should just let 8 year olds into casinos to help them develop their risk reward instinct. Also, the risk reward instinct doesn't work as well when you're gambling moeny someone else earned.

Why spend your life doing anything at all? I'm biased on the topic since im writing up atm, but it was, if nothing else, a very itnerseting way to spend 4 years of my life.

I don't think this is about the macbook neo. I don't think the comments need to devolve into a mac vs. linux argument. It's simply an ode to that kid pushing hardware to the limits, and learning so much along the way. What I

Yes, but the whole point of having nukes as a deterrent is that the US wouldn't have arbitrarily killed their leader in the first place. "If i'm going down, everyone else is going down" is the feature, not a bug. To be c

They'd probably go all in, kill the leader of the nation, kill some of the successors in line, bomb the daylights out of a bunch of civillian sites, wipe out a girls school, sink a few ships... oh wait.
