Would it? Its just a hump. Where's this person's manager? What about the industrial design stage (where are the Ivy's who would massage that hump?) The idea that you're hiring talented people and just firing them like th

Firing people willy-nilly as an admirable quality is a totally insane thing to look up to. Jobs's "design horse-sense" was also strongly against the screen size you take for granted as well. Maybe its time to put away these w

There's nowhere to go with phones than thinner if you aren't doing folding. Thinness has practical value but past a certain point, probably not very much. Marketing will create hype and desire and the feeling of exclusiveness. Tho

This is my feeling too. I also don't think these people realize how none of these groups can refuse a subpoena so the scenario of "the government coming after me," doesn't get addressed either. Worse, some of these are t

Sorry but if you know his story, seen candid videos of him, or talked to the people around him, he's a Linus-level "I'll say what I want" type. There weird hagiographies need to go. Carmack is absolutely not known to be

Under a scientific economy like socialism you dont need to be "apex male who exploits the workers under him to get yachts and tax breaks." The workers co-operate and thus the "apex predator" capital owner becomes dismiss

This is typical of "why not just one drug/treatment" for something big like viruses, cancer, etc. I think we'll never have this "one shot," but continue to find tailored treatments for individual conditions. Th

They both have strong labor unions and/or collective bargaining agreements the USA does not have. That is to say socialist-coded policy is what is helping here, not capitalist ones. Their benefits are almost purely from the strength of

Because tech is largely male dominated and has inherent sexism/patriarchy and images of women, especially conventionally attractive ones, has the perception of aiding sales. Also women are seen as more cooperative and submissive, hence

Also red meat is a luxury and if you can eat it regularly that means you're doing well economically, that most likely correlates with good healthcare access and a higher level lifestyle, which very much is correlated with better mental

There's a real folly in capitalist countries thinking they can be self-sufficient walled castles. Capitalism by its nature will seek out the lowest cost be it in labor or manufacturing. That means often means outsourcing. Our system ha

Yep this. This is just "we have so much technical debt, our square pegs should fit into all round holes!" Business culture devaluing security is the root of this and I hope people see the above example of everything that's wr

That's fine, but were you terrified? Scared and having a panic attack and clutching your purse? Were you worried you ended up in "Silent Hill" like the author of this sensationalized piece? I'm guessing like any unbiased

Yep its not creepy its just a train station. I live in a big city and not-well-lit stations are common and its just a boring fact of life no one even notices here. But to an outsider trying to exoticize things, suddenly its "creepy&quo

It tends to be poor scholarship imho. Autistic moms are more likely to have chronic illness, sensory issues, auto immune issues, etc thus are more likely to be taking medications. In the end, the autistic mom just passes her autistic genes

Yep this. LLMs are just regressive models. Imagine if we had a LLM in the 15th century. It would happily explain the validity of the geocentric system. It can't get to heliocentrism. The same way modern LLMs can only tell us what we kn

Vale has release several hardware products, many successful as well as being the brains behind the Vive. Its not like Apple or other popular companies are any better in this regard.

I'm sorry I dont care how hard valve tried. They still failed. To the consumer, the sd card limitation on the Deck is consumer hostile. 100 MB/s is inexcusable for a device being sold today and one expected to run Unity and Unreal

Hmm the article isn't about the interface being novel but the drives. The article claims the SD express cards top out a 900 MB/s but this drive does 3700 MB/s. They are using their own interface, but that's not the prob

I think this is overly complimentary to big business and what's essentially predatory pricing. The reality is you can't just carve out on feature and say "we pay for this." I mean that's true of a lot of things. The

fwiw, this article is more serious and concise for those of us who dont like this sort of long-winded stylistic prose. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220810-derinkuyu-turkey... Also this is all a bit white-w

Hi, it was one of the roborocks and with a sale at amazon. It looks like the entry models for the 7 and even 8's can be bought around that much still. Or a tad more.

I think this is a little cynical. Robotics and AI are moving at a decent pace. I just bought a robot vacuum that is also a mop and has all manner of sensors and even mapped my house. It was like $250. That's a huge leap over the $500 o

This is a bit like saying "Buy a commodore 64 to store recipes? I'd rather have a recipe book," in 1985. The home robot most likely will do much more than those things. It'll clean, but also be a guard dog, accept packag

I'm autistic and I probably ask many more questions than most people. I would also argue that ND people seem to be the heavier AI users, at least in my experience. Its a bit like the stereotypical 'wikipedia deep dive' but 10

I think this is being overly complimenting to AI. I think the most obvious reason is that for almost all business use cases its not very helpful. All these initiatives have the same problem. Staff asking 'how can this actually help me,

Imagine, say, Yuri Gagarin seeing this and coming down to explain this in 1961. The ISS is only 50 miles higher than Gagarin's flight.

Classism in higher education, science, etc is sadly all too common. Even those in the 'correct' class have uphill battles as science very much is vulnerable to ego, politics, etc and reform can be difficult, or in some cases impos

Autophagy research is all over the place and its hard to understand this stuff or make blanket statements, instead we just have to be flexible with it. Autophagy is always working and the ramp up happens pretty quickly for a lot of people.

The Amiga was more 2nd gen. I think the Micro equivalent was more like an Apple I/II. TRS-80/Tandy Color, or Vic-20/C64. The Amiga was Motorola 68000 based and at a clockspeed that really outran those zlog and 6502 based earl
