I'm having trouble understanding. Chips with very high transistor counts tend to use saturation/turn-off almost exclusively. Very little is done in the linear region because it burns a lot of power and it's less predictable.

Yes, for low-frequency analog circuits these experiments go back to the 1990s at least. J. R. Koza, F. H Bennett, D. Andre, M. A. Keane, and F. Dunlap, “Automated synthesis of analog electrical circuits by means of genetic programming,” IEE

I see a gap between "vastly more productive" and "noticeable benefit".

In real life, I hear people of all political stripes embracing positions between "nothing to hide" and "the govt can find out my personal info anyway, so why not email it directly to nameless scammers overseas?" Online i

I fear that only very bitter experience will convince those folks.

I think I agree. But unfortunately internet.

"We really only know it’s a bubble after it pops." This is the quintessential "we're in a bubble" red flag. (If you haven't lived through a bubble as an adult yet, you may be tempted to disagree. No judgement.

Similarly if a giant out-of-control wildfire threatens to become 10x as big, it's incoherent to call that a "terrible natural disaster." It was already a terrible natural disaster. We're not adding any information (exc

Excellent article ... if you read it. If you don't really read it, YMMV.

Yeah! I almost typed 'fridge' but thought better of it.

Can you play games on your washing machine? Maybe I need to upgrade.

It's a good point. I think it affects the realism of the model. When the stake is very low, finding a penny on the street gives an astronomical improvement in the end results. At the high end, it's possible the counterparty might

Meh, might as well try to bring back the Segway. If it's not cool, it won't catch on.

Ordinary derivatives work fine as fractions. They are rigorously the limit of a fraction. Same deal with dx inside the integral, it is rigorously the limit of a small \Delta x in a summation. Baez is mixing partial derivatives with differen

Yep. And under the name multichip module it goes back way further than that.

I sense irony here, but I'm American so it's hard to be sure.

Good as far as it goes. But employees don't get paid in productivity, we get wages.

I can't read it at all, so I have no reason to disagree.

Sorry, I can't tell whether this is sarcasm or not. If it's a genuine question, the articles are labelled.

The Reason article blurs the distinction between SciAm's opinion pieces and its factual (or putatively factual) reporting. That's disconcerting. "Opinion piece" objectively means "free bullshit zone". Reason is

I agree. You're right. On science reporting, Scientific American has been on par with Wired or Technology Review for more than a decade. SciAm wasn't mutated/destroyed by a few recent opinion pieces. (Whether those pieces we

It seems very likely to be the same incident.

We have until Jan 20 to argue which word was more accurate.

Quibble on the numbers, not on the basic statement. I'm not sure that campaign promises such as suspending the Constitution, jailing political opponents, etc., really are only 0.1% worse than continuing the Republic as it has operated

In fact neither one of us has a strong belief about where the piece was made.
