Fair enough! I’m just on board with the electric ground transportation thing. I’m very happy for there to be really nice and safe fission reactors everywhere for grid scale generation. Including efuel generators for air and space transporta

Thank you for the math. But I don’t think you really tried to understand my point. Firstly, the newest solid state batteries (relevant because that is what I was responding about) are 2x the density so that is quite good (8.5x/6.5x). W

One thing to keep in mind is that the energy density of gasoline is a chemistry measurement. The energy density of a gasoline power train is a different measurement taking into account chemistry and physics. Specifically car engines can onl

There are many possible future architectural changes that could help. Some are more feasible than others but all require fundamental advancement to be useful and cost effective. Some of them include: - GPU - CPU shared memory (already possi

I mean.. maybe. Lets see. My biggest worry is the dark patterns on the messaging apps I need to use. Actually, I'll try out using then through the browser and see what happens.

So what about people like me? I buy an iPhone because Apple gatekeeps the apps. I grew up in the age of torrents and Kazzaa and am tired of spam, malware, bloat, anti virus, etc. I want my phone to be an unbreakable toy, not a computing dev

Clearly great work by the Nebula team, thanks! That aside, looking at the whole game engine "market", I'm surprised that more game engines in 2024 don't talk about or differentiate on their net-code. Syncing the physics

But... in fairness its not feasible to extinguish rando person's school / hobby project. Even if it "takes off", how can a commercial entity extinguish a person's motivation to keep building something they want?

Anyone have insight on: Why don’t they position the SOC to have the HBM in the center with the CCDs and XCDs on the perimeter? Seems to me that would yield lower “wire length” through the interconnect for each CCD/XCD to all of the mem

This is not true. Sure, Apple is sometimes a beta customer of new features in Brand Registry. But in general is not the only company that gets this treatment from Amazon and Apple’s competitors can sign up and use almost all the same servic

+1 almost all uses of parallel streams I’ve seen in Java caused issues in reliability or performance. Not because of any reason other than the people using it choose to use the feature before learning about the feature.

Basically all EV sales are new EVs and the used EV market is still very hot. There will be a lot more “cheap” EVs in 5-10 years as the first EVs depreciate and sell for $3,000 type thing.

Is it a hard problem? Sure. Isn't increasing productivity by solving hard problems why we get paid? My biggest question is, why isn't it even talked about and/or have aspirational goals set up?
