I think that’s an illusion. The last 50 years of modern computing have proven without a doubt that global energy consumption will far outpace improvements in performance/watt that come with each generation of cpus. Any improvement in e

I consider all of those as nice-to-haves. We have over 7B people in the world and got to this point without the technologies you mentioned. We already have the technologies today to allow people to live way longer than would otherwise be p

Babies learn a ton of things way before they understand and use even single words. It takes them years to use sentences but they will have learned a shocking amount by then relative to a newborn.

I love buying new and better gadgets like everyone else but if cpu advancements froze after the next generation of ones using the 3nm transistor node, would life on Earth really be that bad? We’d be in a world where we have no choice but to

I don’t understand the need for a separate phone. Couldn’t you just have a family member install IFTT and receive SMS codes? IFTT could be setup to forward the codes to a separate gmail account that isn’t used for anything else but for y

I don’t think the situation is that dire for Intel. AMD was in a much worse competitive position not that many years ago. An industry wide slowdown will affect all companies mentioned in the article. Intel has over $25B cash on hand and h

You don't just get a CS degree and just magically understand everything there is to know about software engineering. There are specializations just like in the medical field and many others. Tesla engineers working on AI have their ow

It sounds like you have at least an undergraduate CS degree. Go ahead and recreate Twitter and share your GitHub repo for us to review. No need to rush. I'm happy to wait several decades for you to complete the project.

My point was just that neither company's engineers has the necessary knowledge to make any meaningful assessment of the other company's architecture and codebases. Both sides are the result of years of iterations to address very

Yes let's have engineers that work on an in-car OS and a website that could be created on WordPress assess another company's product that is globally distributed and one of the most highly trafficked sites in the world. Edit: Didn

Yes I’ve seen the memes but tons of people take him seriously. I’m sure many of the people who call into his show to ask for advice do. I personally know a handful of people who do as well.

This guy is purely an entertainer, far closer to a clown than an investment advisor. I don’t see him crying after saying the sky was the limit for Ford at the beginning of the year: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/0

The current Mac Pro supports up to 1.5TB of RAM and with DDR5 memory capacities about to increase, I wonder how Apple will compensate for the much lower RAM.

I’m fully in the physicalist camp. I think this is a flawed thought experiment because humans are incapable of knowing everything about seeing red until they actually experience it. Here’s what it’d like be if we actually could without ex

I'm just as stunned as many others here after seeing this blog. What an incredibly talented engineer, writer, and artist all in one! He should be famous. Can't believe I hadn't heard of him.

Nice, I hadn't heard about that. Apparently there's a company working on using light to detect blood alcohol level so you can use a touch sensor. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/20/1124171320/auto

Yes drunk driving is a terrible problem but beta testing software on the open road is not the only option available. It's nothing but irresponsible. Here's one of many: use sensors and AI in the car to detect a drunk person behin

95% is a ridiculous exaggeration. How well can these cars do in the winter? You know, that season we have that can easily keep the ground covered with snow and/or ice for 30% of the year in many cities. I lived in Chicago and it was

We allow companies like Tesla to jeopardize people's lives while the company beta tests "full self driving" technology, but are scared of allowing proven safe technology like adaptive headlights.

I could say that many unexplainable things have a hard problem. How is it that we can smell something and instantly our brain can recall very old memories where we noticed that smell? It seems impossible that atoms can communicate with e

He believes that consciousness cannot be reduced to atomic level phenomena. That kind of discussion is only about his so-called easy problem. To him, there is something beyond that. I refer to that "something" as magic because I

To me, David Chalmer is really overrated as a philosopher and so are his ideas about consciousness. Essentially everything is an example of emergence and this is no different. Yes we absolutely do need to have words like "chair"

I'll defend Meta for once. Let's take accessibility out of the picture for a moment. Imagine you have an idea to sell a product and have 100 potential customers. Your research indicates 95% of those prospects need a set of use ca

Yes I hate Meta but that’s not the reason for my opposition towards this. Even Microsoft announced an integration and I don’t hate that company. In aggregate, company's are pouring billions of dollars and who know how many person hours

I completely agree VR games are awesome, but thats because the goal of video games is to be as immersive as possible and get you lost in it. That’s the perfect use case of VR and companies like Nintendo and Sony have been trying to perfect

I haven’t but am curious what you thought were the biggest improvements over a standard meeting. Did you try virtual sticky notes/whiteboarding or any other collaborative tasks?

If you find faces to be useless, you can hide them on your computer monitor while in a meeting and no one would know. In the metaverse the avatars will not be faceless and you won’t be able to hide them from view

I really can’t understand why there’s so much time and resources being put into re-inventing virtual meetings. This is supposed to capture subtle facial expressions. I’m sure every generation will capture more subtleties and have increasing
