Not really? The best heaters are heat pumps which can under typical operation reach 300-500% efficiency (COP). Technically they aren't converting the electricity into heat, but for arguments sake here about heaters we only care about e

This concept is missed so much in AI research and is quite frustrating.

Academic pay is standardised in many EU countries. For example in the UK you can look up union rates of pay. At UCL (I'm still currently affiliated as I finish my PhD) the pay for a professor starts at £82,157 and goes up to a minimum

No. It is for research that wouldn't be funded by companies, since it is either too risky or has too long of a time-horizon. If all academic research was removed from the world you would notice a vast stagnation in technological progre

Unfortunately not. A lot of UK banks require using your mobile phone as the 2nd factor to log on to online banking on your laptop. They used to issue fobs/card readers, but have moved to using the app for this now.

This is why you use Emacs in Daemon mode for instant starts. Does zed perhaps offer something similar?

The main issue is lack of banking app support for me. Without that (which the banks will never allow) you would always need two phones.

If this is true it's interesting, as ICE cars typically prefer to be driven continuously at operating temperatures, rather than cold. This is why a high-mileage low-year car can actually have an engine in much better condition than low

Wait isn't the answer No here? The dots are clearly clustered mostly in the correct half of the graph?

MSI Center is one of the worst pieces of software that I can't get rid of. Some features I can't find easy ways to replicate such as controlling the fan/GPU/CPU profiles and battery charging. Updating the software takes

Right but the 'surprising level of detail' can often exhibit itself as exactly not a pattern. There are many jobs where you employ a human not because of the rote/pattern based work, but their ability to handle all the edge c

The fiddliness isn't necessarily fixable though, at least in business code. The code has to represent the real-world, and if the real-world is fiddly then the code must be fiddly too. The only way to 'fix' this is to restrict

Honestly I think any economic minister, such as the chancellor in the UK should be required to read this. It's amazing in a time when they champion growth, without understanding these relationships.

The employment rate in the USA is only like 59%. Amongst Men over 20 years old it's ~68% and woman ~56% so it's actually not that far off the average.

Not just ASML, but Zeiss the optics company is German and optics are one of the most important parts of lithography. Regardless there are fabs in Germany, I know of at least 7, most located in Dresden. They mostly focus on older larger node

Softbank aren't really doing this any more though. They are making very large bets on relatively few companies. Their vision fund 1 was something like 100 billion spread between about 100 companies, so 1 billion each. This is rather di

Yes, but also why would you? at 24MHz, you would be better off paying 100x the price ($25) for a 2.4GHz chip (easily doable). Something like a Raspbery Pi Zero 2 W already comes pretty close to that and without the penalty of memory communi

Mostly quality of the sensor, processing power is not a constraint. Also bear in mind that high range and high accuracy generally aren't very compatible, so to measure 100kg at a 1% accuracy is accuracy to the kg. to get +/-100g a

It really depends on the application does it not? I'm not an LLM guy, but for creative tasks like storytelling wouldn't you want a higher temperature usually? Happy to gain insight from anyone with experience here :)

The UK system doesn't either though. The rate for 100-125k is higher than for 125k+ due to the phasing out of the personal allowance. It gets worse if you have kids and can even result in a >100% marginal rate.

Whilst I wouldn't say anything in it requires years of experience to know, this would be helpful for someone who hasn't considered anything about monetary systems. It doesn't read like slop, but I could be wrong but even so i

Because you have the belief that you can generate a better ROI internally invested. Returning cash to shareholders is usually a negative sign for the company as it means they don't think they believe other companies will be better with

Given their manager was the one who announced their project I'm leaning closer to Google handling this badly? Which is understandable in an organisation so large tbh. Sometimes things are done badly, no one is perfect, especially not l
