From the user's perspective, a PS5 appears to launch the most recently played game in about 1 second. A better word would probably be "resuming" than "booting."

Yep. JS doesn't have a standard library so npm is the best we've got. And speaking of the best we've got, the XSD validator above is the only one I'm aware of on npm—kind of shocking given how many overall libraries ther

Here's how JavaScript's XSD validator works: > A (XSD) schema validator for NodeJS that uses Java to perform the actual validation. Why? Because Java can do schema validation and NodeJS cannot. https://www.npmjs.com&

Most ICs and EMs I've talked with prefer remote. I think it's coming from higher up, execs or maybe even VCs. Probably whoever is looking at the ROI on those pricy multi-year leases.

I think you're right. However an implied yet crucial belief is that the loss of manual artists (vs creative directors) will not rob us of potential advances in art. Put another way, it is the belief that the 2020s are the peak of manua

Does your work eclipse the master you studied? That's too bad for that one master but often they share in your fame. And each artist eventually fades, passing the torch to the next generation. Have you studied all masters and eclipse

Household tasks can involve a robot moving with enough kinetic energy to maim or kill a human (or pet) in unlucky circumstances. And we'll quickly become habituated to their presence and so careless around them. Even a Roomba could kno

Well, if there've been about 120B humans ever, and we speak fewer than 1B words per lifetime, and the average word takes 1 byte to store, that's about a fifth of all data stored in AWS (according to Wolfram Alpha). It's undou

It goes both ways. Learning to live on a dead world like Mars (or better yet, off-world altogether) will necessarily entail significant improvements in recycling, atmospheric control, and energy management. Those same technologies could be

It's going to be even more wild in space when missiles can glide. Children of a Dead Earth allowed some simulations around this concept.

Can they Fulton skyhook it down?

I agree with your assessment of how it'll go down. However that verdict will in effect be legalizing a categorically new thing. Software is often built to perform well for expected inputs, yet when given unexpected inputs it may produc

Fair enough. I submit the following well-known examples to support my assertion. What are your counterexamples? Uber/AirBnB facilitating illegal activity but growing large enough to force legalization. Facebook et al providing da

That's the technical meaning, not the more relevant culturally loaded meaning. If I say someone "voted in a prejudiced way," it's technically true if they'd already decided how they'd vote before they did so, b

by mLuby 4y ago
In that sentence, prejudiced is a pejorative way to say opinionated. I assert that existing legal systems do not suffice. Human governments and courts have shown themselves to be near-sighted, slow, and even corrupt when it comes to rapid

With orders of magnitude differences in money and work hours they can bring to bear on problems. Is that surprising?

Using Call of Duty (a military game) with voice chat was oddly similar experience. You can match with two other teammates, then you chat as you help each other succeed in the game, naturally building rapport. Then the game round ends and… t

Instead of additional mass, you could add additional energy. For example, a small maglev running around the inside of the vacuum sphere would steady outward pressure on that part of the sphere. Add more trains at different angles to even ou

All good—figured it's better to report it so you could fix it. Thanks.

Whoops I meant to write 11, not 9. I haven't actually heard of an 11-bladed screw, though here's a picture of an 11-bladed pumpjet. https://youtu.be/ugSEIiTZ1Pg?t=386

Clarke's first law applies here. Maybe beamed power could help around a delivery hub.

I'm curious if you re-use the same tests across different languages? And is it actually on a network or are you pretending?

IIRC submarine screws use prime-numbered blades (5, 7, 9) to cut down on harmonics. Perhaps the same would be useful here, though I don't see many prime-numbered turboprops, which you'd expect to benefit from similar noise reducti

Dirty bombs are weapons of terror, not weapons of mass destruction. The true damage is caused by societal and economic overreaction from the target: fear leads to expensive security theatre, a desire for vengeance leads to lashing out wit
