Preventative measures haven't necessarily failed entirely. The renewable power and battery electric vehicle revolutions are underway, and vastly more successful/rapid than almost anyone predicted. But, they need more time. I see g

Your problem with EVs is that they don’t eliminate the idea of cars? Let me guess, your problem with the Impossible Burger is that it doesn’t eliminate the idea of eating meat? Entangling ideology with progress is a recipe for getting nothi

My bad, I thought we were talking about ASIC designers, not VTR developers.

Instead of “wow, cool” my first reaction is “free messaging is a great perk, if this is abused they will shut it down” . I guess my hacker days are behind me.

I think it’s more likely these people mainly enjoy designing hardware, not tools for designing hardware (aka software). Learn to use a tool, and use it. It’s a hammer, start driving nails Software development is unique in that tools for b

What are your electricity prices? If I assume 34p/kWh and 150p/L for gas, 3.3mi/kWh and 30mpg, and plug it into a unit converter, the EV is almost half as much to fuel. Are your electricity prices higher than 70p/kWh now

I would suggest it’s simply because flights are often much longer than a subway ride. Making small talk for six, eight, twelve hours isn’t really fun for anyone.

I find it more convenient to use water because I have to watch the thawing meat in the microwave like a hawk; it’s very easy to cook the edges on accident. The center also stays more frozen. To each their own.

A quick warm water bath serves a similar purpose while often giving me better results.

There are often fairly sensible reasons or good intent behind many of them. People don't normally drink hot water; it's not a great idea, as it has higher levels of dissolved solids and higher risk of contamination by organisms (l

A survey sticks in my mind; it found that people were considerably more willing to pay higher taxes if they trusted everyone else would pay their share too. I think the same lesson can be applied here. Nobody wants to personally make big sa

It’s a pretty good website, but considering it’s replaced full-time humans arranging your reservations by hand for a fee of $0, I’m not seeing the fees as reasonable. It feels a lot like economic rent, with Booz Allen positioning themselves

Intel licensed x86 to provide a credible second source, which they needed for some of their early business deals.

Only a few licensees are capable of designing their own core from scratch. Most customers are licensing some form of reference design.

The author is assuming inference will eventually get broken across many cheaper machines. To their credit, if an nvidia box is $50,000 and a cpu box is $5,000 then a cluster of ten cpu boxes is only one order of magnitude behind.

What’s the anti-conspiratorial explanation for that? I can imagine a million different things they’d love to hide, but what would the legitimate, honest/harmless reason?

In retrospect my biggest obstacle in school was, nobody ever really taught me how to improve, and so I was never good enough to enjoy myself. The dominant culture focused on the value of grit and perseverance through suffering. I bought i

It’s dangerous ground, so people are leery of it. For example, if different races have at a population higher or lower average IQ, and IQ is heritable, that starts to look uncomfortably like the old arguments from a few hundred years ago

The usual direction this goes is, some cultures place higher or lower relative value on parenting your kids, and some cultures are in practice rife with absent parents as a byproduct of what they value. edit: on rereading, I think the origi

Expose them to good books. Visit the library, fill the bookshelves at home, read to them. All kids love stories, so your job is simply to make it a nigh-certainty they will encounter stories they love. Don’t try to force specific stories on

Not sarcasm, he is a jerk but I am trying to figure whether it would be in character or not. It sounds more like a play from the “vulture capitalist” toolbox. Although I suppose it could fit with a vision of unburdening a company to allow r
