Funny things is how the general scientific community (including nature) defines 'impact'. I somehow still strangley trust the Nobel committee to take a different approach here. Was curious and found this interesting collection of references: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Enacting-Excellency-Awa... .
Apple typically pick the better standard, being widely used in the industry and licensing cost isn't ( as much ) an issue. At least in Steve Jobs's era, he do appreciate people doing innovative work and are paid for it. And cost wasn't as ridiculously expensive as they are today. And when it was, Steve would demand they show why they are worth that much.

Now I think that is mostly gone in Apple.
I have practically no technical knowledge of the field, so I could be way off here, but I suspect that if the technology wasn't so ripe for abuse, it would have been developed and/or made visible to the public a lot earlier

It's not a motherboard problem. How would you integrate support for user provisioned cooling options (to match cooler to the card wattage) and still keep any sort of flexible expansion slot area? GPUs can't be turned into a single chip, there's too much going on, so you're never going to have a CPU cooler situation. So, fine, what if you made them daughterboards mounted like M2 SSD's; that may work, except ATX now has to become ITX to give room for an extra board's worth of space.

It's a PC case orthodoxy issue, really. People want plugs at the back of the box, which dictates how the GPU must sit in the case, and disagreement on GPU sizing means no brackets. Solve these two issues and life gets a lot better.

Or, solve it like SFF case guys solved this problem, by using a PCIE extender cable to allow the GPU to be mounted wherever you like.

I dare you to discuss the Hunter Biden case in the context of what it ostensibly represents: government corruption.

> "But every ton of lithium carbonate extracted from underground using this cheap, low-tech method typically dissipates into the air about half a million gallons of water that is vital to the arid high Andes. The extraction lowers water tables, and because freshwater often sits on top of salty water, this has the potential to dry up the lakes, wetlands, springs, and rivers that flourish where the underground water reaches the surface."

What's the cost of importing 500,000 gallons of water to replace what evaporates? If the miners had to pay that cost, would it still be economical for them to sell that ton of lithium carbonate?

The first result in Google says lithium carbonate costs $17,000 per ton in 2021. It might be more now.

This fluid-hauling train car has a capacity of around 30,000 gallons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT-111_tank_car

So, about 16 train cars worth of water for $17,000 worth of lithium. Not sure if that's a good trade or not. It might depend on how far they have to go for the water. (Maybe sea water would be good enough, if the ground water they're removing is already brine, then maybe adding more salt isn't a problem.)
Not GP, but atmospheric water generators that are cheaper and more efficient.

IMO they don't in the big picture. I agree with the points made in the adjacent comment (reality), but if you look at the frequency in which these protests happen, it's increasing and with each occurrence they are gaining wider support. Not only that, but in the recent protests, even smaller cities with more conservative population are now joining the fight. They wanted reform initially, now they have become more radical in nature. It's only a matter of time.

Or, I don't know, maybe it's because of the numerous memory safety issues we encounter. Perhaps we should use a borrow checker in our revolution compiler ;)

This number sounds a bit weird. I assume you are saying cloud costs are only 5% of IT spending which means it includes salaries. If that is the case you can't assume any level of self hosting. Can you provide the source on this or clarify what you are saying?
I don't think evading sanction laws and taxes with crypto is a great use case and Stripe will be investigated and ordered to ban accounts doing this behaviour.

> Lithium is the lightest of all metals. Soft and malleable with a high capacity to store energy, it is ideal material to make lightweight, rechargeable batteries. Demand for the metal for lithium-ion batteries to power mobile devices has risen strongly for three decades. But while mobile-phone batteries require just a tenth of an ounce of lithium carbonate, a typical electric-car battery requires 130 pounds — around 20,000 times as much.

Without a radical breakthrough in batteries, electric cars are not the answer. They are every bit the problem that ICE cars are, it's just that the full environmental costs of the switchover have not been widely-recognized.

I enjoyed high school and college -- found them to be fun more than anything -- and I still have "I screwed up/didn't attend a whole class/have a crazy test in school" dreams.

I think it has more to do with school being the first place you have those pseudo-professional experiences of "Ahhhh! I blew it! I didn't work hard enough!" So your brain is like, "I think I have this one in the archive somewhere."

Intuitively this seems high but without any approximation of what percent of miles they are responsible for within Boston I can't tell if there is a unique problem or not.

Boston has some pretty good subways. Though if public transportation improves I would hope that means the rate of car ownership goes down even if bad stats like this will make Uber/Lyft seem bad on the surface.
Yes, the examples I gave are gross over-simplifications. But look at the attached video. It literally just gives a 1-1 mapping of each code line to an English sentence, and that code is pretty trivial to understand in any case. I mean

$data = file_get_contents(filename: 'php://input');

to

"We're getting the raw request body"

I still argue that developers should be able to read the raw code like that faster than turning it into an English sentence. I'm not saying the text generation isn't extremely impressive, I just don't think it's that useful.

I always did best at the exams I had nightmares about. To the point where having an exam nightmare would make me feel better about an upcoming exam, I would actually start to worry if I had a big exam coming up and I hadn't had a nightmare about it yet.

Still today, 30 years later, I get these dreams. Usually when I have a big work or life challenge coming up. And the nightmares still boost my confidence (though the nightmares themselves suck).
Lol, feels like some people never see trends until it literally steam rolls over them.
Will wasn’t saying no. He just didn’t have a book to push. He wasn’t seeking out opportunities himself, or having a publicist doing it for him.
You should really rethink your idea here. When I tell my manager we need a vendor, I don't care how long it takes. If our contract is 72 hours billable, then feel free to use it. If you create something that just works, we aren't going to care if you took 10 hours or 70.

To give you an idea, we just hired a company for a $10,000 project they failed to deliver and we have no other option but to throw more money. Generally we have already figured out it will take us 2-3* the cost of what the vendor wants. So double check your work because if you screw up we may not hire you again.
I wrote something similar before, my friend had a nice technique to do code analysis and remove everything but the critical path to the point in code you had your cursor over. Then I fed that code path into gpt3 to generate an explanation of that critical path.

>COVID vaccination resistance has a direct correlation with a lack of empathy.

That's some unintentional honesty. The vaccine did little to stop the spread and wore off in a matter of months, but it became a sign of virtue status.
This reminds me of the criticisms of Copilot (GPT-3 application to generate computer code).

Many engineers will say it doesn't code. It just regurgitates and remixes the data it was trained on. It just makes "meta-heuristic guesses."

But anyone taking an honest and objective view of it can see that Copilot does add value. It's no substitute for a real, human, engineer, but it clearly adds value.

I don't think AlphaFold would get to this level of funding, resource commitment, etc. if it was adding 0 value.

Being a domain expert, I'm curious what value, if any, you think a large transformer model could add to the domain of protein folding. Is it really zero value, in your view?
Uhh... Like all of that is wrong. Android Studio defaults to targeting the latest API level, and Play Store even refuses to let you upload an APK targeting something more than a couple APIs old. You're regularly confusing target API with min API. Those are very different things. And compiled SDK version is yet something else.

And the rest of your rant is about developers updating their app needing to track changes. That's an unrelated discussion. We're talking about backwards compatibility for apps that don't update. Meaning compile SDK & target API aren't changing. Android keeps those working quite well.

> So even design language changes can (and often do) break the UI.

Nonsense. The platform widgets are governed by the theme which almost never changes. Old apps that don't get updated will still be depending on Theme.Holo which is still there, still unchanging.

And most apps are primarily not using platform widgets anyway, they're using Jetpack instead. Things like RecyclerView, MotionLayout, ConstraintLayout, CardView, etc.. are not in the platform, they're in jetpack. Which is a static library bundled into the APK. And therefore obviously not changing with an OS update
how would such a GPIO <-> PCMCIA interface work? the author said the CPLD handles the voltage conversion and “address decoding”, but what I don’t understand is how does the data end up on the Pi?
In an ideal world that's true, but in reality it's probably not a good approach to treat political alliances on issues as independent transactions to be taken at purely face value. If you're an advocate for free speech, it's probably worth being extremely dubious of Republican efforts aimed at "big tech" even if they claim to care about the same issue you do. For one thing, those efforts are clearly motivated by very specific speech and even if you hope that translates into better protection for speech in general, it's worth considering if that's actually what your new allies are actually aiming for. There's a long history of policies claiming to be for the general good ending up exclusively benefiting a select few in practice. That's not always the case of course, but especially worth keeping an eye out for when the folks advocating for the policy are making it fairly clear up front that's their agenda.

The other issue is a bit more strategic. Policy victory brings electoral victory, and you don't get to pick and choose which other policies come along for the ride when someone wins. Nobody agrees with a politician or political party on every issues of course, but it's probably not a good idea to ignore the rest of their views entirely just because they happen to back at least one policy you agree with. At the risk of invoking Goodwin, if you weren't a fan of that Hitler fellow but supported him anyways because you liked road construction, you might have regretted your choice.

The inability to take video evidence as being at all related to truth. Presidential candidates saying "I never said that, that video is a deepfake". If deepfakes are normalized enough, then people will always have sufficient reason to disbelieve actually-true video if they don't want to believe it. If the production and dissemination of deepfakes were criminal, it (a) wouldn't be normalized, and (b) people would think twice about making deepfake videos if punishments were criminal rather than civil slaps-on-the-wrist like libel is. And criminal means actual police resources dedicated to finding creators, whereas a libel suit has only the power of subpoena.

> They are every bit the problem that ICE cars are, it's just that the full environmental costs of the switchover have not been widely-recognized.

I think you’re confusing an environmental catastrophe with devastating consequences for specific people (and animals etc) in a contained location with a completely uncontained environmental catastrophe with devastating consequences for all life on this planet.

Just reducing cars’ impact to “devastating a number of specific contained locales” would be a monumental step forward.

> Blockchain allows a new form of money to be created and used in a very efficient manner.

See, here's the thing. If you cared enough about this project, you'd do this without the blockchain.

You bring this blockchain thing, and I feel like your mission is "Blockchain or bust". But you can always pivot to the blockchain later. As blockchain proponents have said, "It's early days." Why would you risk your mission on an untrustworthy technology? Boring tech is much much better for building on your mission. From SV to Des Moines, there's a reason people write their software in Java to this day, e.g.

You can use a BTC address for payments and payouts, as well as say traditional mechanisms (many of which are wrapped by Plaid). Essentially you become something like "Wealthfront".

Also, there's a lot of poverty in the US, such as in SV/SF itself. I would focus on that. Blockchain is sexy, but the homeless situation is not. It's a much harder problem. And your mission just assumes someone else will fix it and worse just assumes it's fixable in the first place.

But I still hear about people biking in SF talking about PPMs (poops per mile).
Meanwhile NIMBY's are fighting new housing projects.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not fixable, but simply relying on others to fix your core mission will end in tears.

Another way to look at it is that it doesnt (afaik) have externsl context, so there are severe limits on what it could possibly infer from some code. Like you say, if something unusual is being done because of a library, or business rules or something, "AI" cannot take this into account. There may be some cases where something non-obvious can be distilled out of the code, though I agree that mostly the stuff you can infer without context is mostly self evident from the code anyway

Edit: just thinking, the canonical example would be something like the fast inverse square root from quake. Is it going to summarize or is it going to tell you

i = 0x5f3759df - (i >> 1);

// Shift i right by one and subtract it from 0x5f...

(It would be cool if it does work here, even if it does, when someone makes up a new thing like this, it couldn't possibly comprehend why it's being done)

Civil liability is nothing. We need police resources to find creators, not civil subpoenas of YouTubr upload IPs. Otherwise every election will be swamped with unattributable deepfake videos, which is doubtless the direction we are headed.
No, the government didn't show otherwise (in my opinion). They showed you could remove the component, but it degraded essential functionality because IE and the components (HTTP, HTML and form display) depended on the (the OS did, for updates and other applications). I mean the IE the software component, not the browser, because MSFT comingled them at the OS level. At the time, they planned on replacing much of the user interface with web controls, and even today you can see many vestiges of Internet Explorer-like behavior even though IE is gone.

i woudl have agreed with you in the past but when I was curous and went back through all the cases I was surprised to see that I think (from a technical perspective) MSFT was completely right to do what they want, and the main issue was that they simply didn't understand how to win a case in court.
