I bet you read the title only, and not the article. There is way-way more to it than the title. Nowhere did the author reduce the contribution of non-engineering roles. An excellent read!

I appreciate the author's intention to help. But I can't but be annoyed by his stance that "I am at Cambridge", therefore the way I prefer things to be formulated is the correct, universally accepted way. What's wro

Have mercy, my dude! If you really follow Italian politics you'd know it's been like that for 200+ years -- that's how the place operates. And with all that going on they managed to create a world-class automotive industry, s

I read about 800 pages of his writing ("Better Angels ..." book) and there were passages of absolute beauty, like the part about Alan Turing.

From what I can see this is a patent application for the dehumidification part only, which can be added to a pre-existing HVAC system. The website claims the system can eliminate the compressor and refrigerant completely. Not sure if they h

Sounds like the notion of a condenser coil (a very real device) violates your understanding of thermodynamics. I recommend you look up how heat-pumps work: https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy-efficiency/energy-star-canada...

I am rusty on my thermodynamics, but could this cycle be reversed for heat-pumps? In the summer dehumidify air for more efficient cooling. In the winter humidify the air for more efficient heating? This would be a win-win-win because where

From what I understand, the desiccant releases water under slight pressure from vacuum pump, which presumably is less than the energy saved by using the desiccant in the first place.

Here in Canada some provinces did use lock-downs (even with curfews) and some didn't, and comparisons made between them show that lock-down was one of the least effective measures. I am sure similar data exists for US states, EU countr

Click-bait titles are now an art form in itself. Nothing against the work being discussed.

One thing that I observe about how China deals with COVID: leadership assumes that they have perfect control over perfect people. Therefore they try these type of solutions like complete lock-down of a city of 26m people. They assume that t

The way you posed the question implies that the West and Russia are in a employer-employee type relationship, with Russia being the subservient employee, where the boss can fire, replace, demote, etc, and them have little to no control over

Yes, for very precise, comprehensive text descriptions of problems. It will take a far-far more advanced AI to write such descriptions for real-world problems. Writing requirements for a project is difficult work, and not for technical reas

I am thinking whether this result can create a type of loop that can self-optimize. We have AI to generate reasonable code from text problem description. Now what if the problem description text is to generate such a system in the first pla

What if Facebook never filed? Would Apple never be able to act on this? If they would have acted, why didn't they do it before Facebook?

Apple knows since at least 2016 of NSO activities on their devices and servers, while selling this image of privacy competence. This long period of inaction, from 2016 to now is unacceptable.

I am all for Hanlon's razor. But it reads to me as: Apple legal team has to act because Facebook suit (and the info made public) makes it impossible to say that "Apple was not aware" of such and such details. To me it is much

The amount of time that Apple sat on this is telling. First reports on NSO activity are from 2016, Facebook filed in 2019, Apple iOS 14.8 fix released in Sept 2021. Only when the constant negative news about NSO started chipping at their re

I think you might be operating with a romanticized definition of what a genius is. In fact a common definition of (higher) intelligence is the ability to see patterns (abstractions, properties, laws) in an otherwise random looking world. Th
