Not now, but if the problem arises technology will be invented to make it cheaper. If only to drive profits, not the cleanliness of the Earth. Of course we should mandate that we keep the Earth clean, we don't have another.

Fission is ultra-complicated and dangerous with Uranium. I can buy a solar panel for $100 and have it generating electricity in my backyard at a click of a button Why would I _not_ do that?

Area, intrinsic process cost, and also TSMC is a monopoly at the leading-edge node. They can charge what they wish.

Safety is no longer the reason Nuclear is not worth it. The sun is a giant, free nuclear fusion plant in the sky. We can capture 1/5th of its output per square meter. For free! The wind -- caused by solar heating -- also generates free

I'd go so far as to say if your LA class did not instill that one value it was more a matrix algebra and methods (nothing wrong w/ that....v useful) class. The matrix is simply the model of the linear space. Coordinate free-ness l

A large amount of mathematics is trying to find the easiest way to express a problem, changing to that view, solving the simpler problem, then going back to your original formulation Solving indefinite integrals by substitution for example.

Linear algebra done right is IMO the best book on it. But a lot of it is simply exploiting linearity to reduce to a working in the most convenient subspaces. Finding and constructing them is a major task.

I always thought it was simpler to explain by using the only trick linear algebra has: switch to a basis where your problem is easiest, then switch back. Sylvester's law of inertia proves existence + gram-schmidt constructs that change

Presumably they got the data they needed? Whether it's worth doing at scale.

Nothing. This is yet another tautological model.

Companies that spend time agitating about short sellers have a straightforward way of shutting them down: proving they are a legit, going concern and bankrupting shorts. That's the nature of the game when you're trying to sell sha

They don't lose any capital until it's re-valued or sold. It's purely a short-term loss in income. Eat the loss, move on -- that's what most landlords would tell their tenants in the opposite situation. I am playing the

Wild that landlords having to deal with their investments losing value and having to negotiate a commercial transaction is "grim" The market dynamics shifted. No big deal.

This sort of arbitrary judgments-from-heaven is a sign of monopolistic power. You only have a Hobson's choice when it comes to the app store.

Thankfully, TEFCA was implemented anyway, and is still on schedule. We'll see what it works out to in practice. But data sharing is definitely still possible, today, even with Epic (they are quite good actually). You are limited to ce

Mortality is also highly age dependent. It mostly reflects that the virus ripped through care facilities since nobody isolated them in time.

Not at all bad to pay salaries but stock comp is used to tie pay to performance. Can't really do that if you've committed to paying a colossal salary. Which is why Mozilla exec leadership is still in place after a decade of losing

AMD Ryzen has a track record of shipping on time, whereas novel process Intel CPUs have not shipped on time for nearly half a decade. They will certainly compete at some point but I'd expect Ryzen 4000/5000 mobile processors to be

Intel advertised a bunch of fancy transistors and process improvements well after it was clear 10nm as a whole was a bust (COAG, Single Diffusion Break, probably more) Color me skeptical.

India and China, along with basically every other country, have tons of regulations around how foreign companies can set up operations and invest in domestic markets. You cannot do business without a local partners in many industries (read:

It's the latter. Complex differentiability is a very strong condition.

If A and B are a solution, then A+B is also a solution. For a constant r, if C is a solution, r*C is also solution. That's it. The nice closed form of exponentials as solutions is just for linear difference equations with constant coef

One interesting reason there's a been a bunch of progress in this space is that automotive systems are required to show the rear view camera in a certain amount of time. Progress driven by the oddest of things.
