I have a friend who has worked on many generations of video compression over the last 20 years. He would rather watch a movie on film without effects than anything on a TV or digital theater. He's trained himself to spot defects and no

Ummm, 100% of votes went to one person and the elderly potential political adversary was led out against his will by the leader's security on live TV as part of the "election". https://www.independent.co.uk/tv

Because Israel (Netanyahu), or France (Le Pen), Italy (Berlusconi), Germany (Weidel), England (Johnson) weren't using civil war messaging? This seems pretty global.

If you only flip a coin to the same side 21 times in a row, it could just be chance! It's only 1 in a million, but at about 10 the same I'd start to figure the coin wasn't fair.

The letters form words, and the words form statements, but the statements express gibberish... however, that is com-meme-place online.

Um, so the UK has rejoined the EU? I'm mean it's a nitpick, but you're kinda nitpicking.

Yeah, but my 2 year old Generative Potty-Trained Transformer needs an acronym too! Seriously, like TLA domain names and other TLA acronyms, there just aren't enough to allow trademark. Imagine, if 5 letter LASER had been trademarked? W

Generally, that is true BUT... In Brazil there is a huge manufacture of sugar with excess baggasse that is used to power sugar extraction/drying and provide heat for alcohol distillation. There is a related industry of extracting lefto

I've seen many mentions of the Ultraviolet Catastrophe, but I don't remember reading that it directly caused Plank to look for (a quantized) solution. That seems like a historical justification that a QM physics class doesn't

Wait till you see HW (hardware) and FW (firmware). People who regularly have to work with a mixture of these will abbreviate them. You'll see them everywhere now.

Possibly near Chengdu, Mianyang? I'll agree with others, this was unlikely to be an accident. But hey, you were entertained and they got to show off their English!

It was the screen, but the piezo strain was applied at the mounting to the frame. They really aren't separate. I believe I worked on this design (though not directly on the piezo) and it was a pain. The easiest way to have a nice solid

Yeah, I'm a bit disillusioned having watched this technology for years. Piezoelectric speakers (and even voice coil driven larger displays) have been around in laptops since the mid 2000s. That's 20 years. I think the Sony Acousti

Might as well blame ChatGPT for writing your term paper. If they'd been using R/Matlab/Python written by a copilot it would have been just as much gibberish.

The problem is raising a huge amount of money, and this is the solution, which is something Sam is very good at. The utility seems purely financial.

If you file for PNO (Planned Non Operation) it is not a registered vehicle. Alternately, if your car runs out of gas, it is no longer a vehicle. There are a whole range of silly distinctions.

Really? It seems like once a group of people have lived somewhere for a generation or two and have a $Trillion invested in a place they probably are going to make it hard for new comers to make radical changes. Kinda like a giant codebase t

They did that in China and housing prices are still sky high. As long as "number go up" is the belief in housing you'll have speculators and empty housing. Now you could tax empty (non-rented dwellings without a declared tax

We would have heard if they had hired/bought the size of team necessary to design a system large enough to be a significant impact. Modern (eve sub 28nm much less 2nm) design is hugely complex and the range of things that an AI compute

Yeah, I'd be surprised if mines weren't in the multi MW range... but nothing like a modern hyperscale data center. Those damn things are 100MW and larger!

To be fair disparagement for middle management has been around for ages. Nobody (10 years ago) I knew wanted to be promoted into management, if only because it was so hard to manage. It seemed like there was an outside hiring binge of middl

Wow, it really does have that sound. I'm trying to figure out exactly what about the phrasing feels that way, while at the same time it doesn't seem like it's as uniformly broken up as most GPT answers are. Of course it could

Much of the land is not commercially profitable to log due to competition with much larger, less steep, and more uniform forests. Also, there would be significant externalities to those living there (you can argue with them, but there are m
