SPICE (simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis) is open-source. As is ngspice, next generation SPICE. LT-spice is just a graphical front end to make SPICE easier to use. Yeah, analog is hard.

I think it was Krugman and Venables. But it was a long time ago. (Paul Krugman's expertise is actually in trade economics, before the NYT hired him to talk about all kinds of other things.)

Ah, yes, the joy of hand-modifying bits on your SSD with a static-charged needle. Very satisfying.

Tourism jobs are inherently low productivity. So of course your country can't get rich from it.

In my trade economics textbook years ago it was stated that the cleared customs cost of an imported good is no more than 30% of its final consumer price, and more typically 10%. The rest is inland logistics, retail costs, and marketing. Fur

Some rather flippant dismissal going on in the other comments here. The reasons that this sort of things is frowned on by corporate governance are firstly the non-merit-based promotions that happen, and secondly the power imbalance. It&#x27

If AI's demand for money drives up the hurdle rate, the minimum rate of return that investors are prepared to accept, then AI investment could both be large and starving other industries of investment. Increasing demand does increase t

The data are easily accessible, and the target group has little political power and is seen as problematic and about the only remaining legitimate target for negative discourse. Imagine the reception that studies of female aggression get.

This is cool for the social science people. They will be all over this as a "natural experiment". I have no idea what they will find: interesting times.

The title is slightly misleading. What the article is really about is the idea that all of the money that is now paid in wages will somehow be paid to AI companies as AI replaces humans. That idea being muddle-headed. It points out that bu

Two-adjective similes, "it [sensed] like x and y" are an AI stink.

This is reducing iron ore to iron metal. It's making the main input feedstock for all kinds of steels. So yeah, it might be viable as the feedstock for boutique steelmakers that want to claim to be green. But it's going to have t

Different thing. Electric arc furnaces are old technology. What is new here is direct reduction of iron ore to iron metal, electrolytically. It makes the input feedstock for your EAFs. Smelting has always been the most carbon-intensive part

Introducing a delay into a feedback control system makes it highly unstable, prone to oscillation or lockup. An 18-year delay? Well, you could try, I guess. Just let me move a long way away first.

This is an optimistic take. There are precedents, it is true. Probably the best match is the decline of the western Roman Empire into the Eurpean Dark Ages. The dark ages were dark because population reduced. Infrastructure fell into ruin b
