I'm a subscriber to things being eventually optimized to their limit. Screen are still getting slightly bigger, but there's plenty of theoretical space for cameras to grow. As long as bigger cameras perform better (and there'

Any country with satellites spends tons of their time gawking at everyone else's stuff, while maybe occasionally predicting the weather. I think you're really underestimating how much counties spy on each other. Russia stole nucle

If all the leaks in the past decade have shown anything it's that everyone spies on everyone. It's been like that forever too. You can take some solace in knowing your country is almost definitely spying on the US as well. With th

I may be biased from my own experience, but I remember being incredibly frustrated at a young age from the lack of help understanding things I was "too young" for. My role models and teachers made zero efforts to help me learn ana

There are many languages less phonetic than English, Chinese is just the best example I can think of. I was just pointing out that English spoken and written are close enough that you can learn one from the other.

I would say probably, if you're a good enough writer and game the search results a bit. One of my employers gave me permission to spend a day a week writing articles for a couple months. I wrote 5 articles and they brought in over 90%

I think everyone who learned English has memories of pronouncing a word for the first time while reading it repeatedly. The fact that this is a usable way of learning words shows the it's fairly phonetic. Contrast this to Chinese for e

Lumens are very misleading as they're entirely based on human vision sensitivity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminosity_function Naturally, the closer to the 555nm green peak, and the more monochromatic your

The last of the astronauts stared back at a tiny spec in the sky, their old planet, J2EE. It was once a teeming garden world, but after replacing every species several times, the increasingly abstract creatures failed to thrive. Many wars w

This may have been true at some point but I feel English would not have remained so popular without other reasons. The language and writing system are simpler than most languages I've encountered. Most importantly in this age, English

gRPC feels very industrial to me. It's similar to Google's Guava library, used everywhere but nobody really talks about it. A lot of the stuff I've seen hyped to heaven in recent years is UI related or close to it. I think we

As terrible as this sounds, this is a successful marketing strategy used for millennia. Countless luxury brands quietly do everything they can to prevent poor demographics from using their products. For example a lot of high end clothing st

This sounds great and all, but I've seen corporate rebels and how often they get fired. The most dangerous thing you can do at most companies is to disagree with your boss and be right. I was a rebel myself until I realized the risks.

Wow. I like your take on this. Reminds me that the regular populace is still in support of fascist ideas as long as the notion isn't obvious on the surface.

I hate to say this but it's an example of language hype not matching actual usage. I love GRPC, it's beautiful, but the fact that native implementations are only available in unsexy "old" languages should say something a

I believe you are right about all of these legal issues, but a very human question remains. If a machine is driving, who decides who dies? As shitty as the human race is much of the time, people in life or death situations regularly show a

I think this is a troll comment, but if not I ask you to simply look underneath your car. Any auto made in the last 20 years is incredibly complex. The biggest advancement has been hiding all that complexity. I have swapped engines and weld

There's not really studies on the subject. The need for a human to be in control of machines that carry other humans seems to be an innate human trait from my perspective. Humans have proven themselves to be mentally flexible by, for e

Interesting! I find it puzzling that insider knowledge on how google search works never seems to leak into the public domain. Is google killing leaks in their search algorithms or do they pay the search team such ungodly amounts of cash tha

Oh my God. This is the first time I've seen anything related to AI research that's given me a visceral reaction of terror. This is more than just making pretty pictures, the machine understands cats and pigs in a human way. It kno

Wow. I was impressed but now I'm kind of glad we don't have that kind of monopoly in the US. Google is in the same arena but we have several strong competitors for most of their products at least.

It was my understanding that Google's crawler literally is Chrome. Does Google have any plans to open source those parts of the browser to make integration easier? Maybe I was mistaken
