It's a case that didn't have too much impact; the case did not have any implications for the famed Section 230.

Still a unanimous decision is a little bit of a surprise for me. Given some of the current justices' penchant for judicial activism, I would've expected some to try.

This is a gross oversimplification. While there’re inefficiencies and process abuses, this doesn’t mean nobody cares about speed and resources. It might look that way to purists who’re focused only on tech part of the businesses.

Visiting family in the UK for the first time in about five years. Costs here are _way_ higher than I remember. I bought three hamburgers, three drinks, and two large pops at a burger shop here, the total was 48 GBP (about $60 USD). This was at Five Guys. I couldn't believe it.

I visited my co-worker in the UK, and over some beers, he mentioned he's getting taxed at 48-50% on top of this. Also 20% VAT on regular shopping. I couldn't believe it, so he pulled up his pay stub on his phone and showed me.

Family members out here who are working non-tech regular jobs are telling me they had to cut back on turning on their heating at night during the winter. I grew up in Canada, and lived seven years in Los Angeles, but now live in Asia. I don't know how the UK is going to get back to where it was 10ish years ago.

Languages will evolve to disambiguate those situations. Vietnamese and Korean already have done so. They have no practical issues communicating with their writing systems.

It's not impossible for Chinese to do the same. Native speakers who learned Chinese through Chinese characters will always find it the most natural, and would surely consider it a pity to lose characters, but if an entire generation is hypothetically brought up reading pinyin only, they will find it the most natural and find ways to disambiguate words on their own. Not saying I support such a shift happening in Chinese, just saying that it's not impossible for the human brain and society to cope with, if it were to happen, and it's not something we (the aging generation) have much say in.

Well the main problem is resistance isn't it? Most of the power "used" is to get electrons to flow fast enough for the logic gates to settle for a specific clock frequency and the resistive losses to heat.

The only real way forward that isn't a temporary workaround seems finding a new type of semiconductor that has lower overall resistance than silicon. Whoever figures out how to dope graphene and produce wafers without defects will probably make trillions.
That only applies to developed countries. In China, a lot of people use public transit, but richer people will prefer taxis, ubers, or their own cars. There are a lot of taxis also, that are cheap enough for daily commutes if you are middle class. I lived on a subway route in Beijing that went close enough to my work, but it was so crowded (often nowhere to sit on a 25 minute ride) that I just paid for the taxi anyways. Traffic was horrible, so it made sense to take the subway if traveling during rush-hour (if you can fit on, of course), but I re-arranged my work schedule to mostly avoid that.
Sure, but the federal government isn't trying to forbid the American public from deciding what private decisions to make.

Oh, I strongly agree with you there. This was obvious in 2013 as well.

On the other hand, housing occupancy rates are still high, arguably too high, despite the high cost of housing.

For whatever reason, people deem it worth it to pay such high rents to remain living in London. London's population is still growing, albeit slower than before the pandemic.
>A lot of those "western European" products are actually manufactured in Eastern Europe by cheap Eastern European labor.

Please name me 3 foodstuffs you have in your kitchen made in some Eastern EU country.

>You don't have brands but have jobs, often displaced from Western countries.

Goods made in Eastern EU didn't displace jobs from the West. French and German unemployment were record lows. Southern EU had big unemployment but that was due to their own economic issues, no factories from Greece or Spain moved to Eastern Europe.

>they were meant to provide new markets and new labor for (largely German) established companies. In exchange, they got loads of money to raise their infrastructural standards and overall quality of life.

In exchange they also had to suffer a huge increase in cost of living, food and energy prices to the point we're paying German prices at Eastern EU wages. Most of our energy companies are German or French owned, so the profits from the increase prices we paid went to them. So are our banks. The profits made by western banks also far outpace the ones made in their home countries since they offer higher interest rates and charge higher fees than what they do back home to their own countrymen. So are our oil and gas companies, all owned by western enterprises and profits go there.

Yeah, we're getting hundreds of millions from the EU and sending back billions in corporate profits. Heck of a deal. From some angles it looks more like economic colonialism.
Based on my career tied to broadband deployment, I'll assume wireline internet hasn't meaningfully improved in 20 years. They might have cable but rotting DSL seems more likely. All this to say that wired comms probably aren't disaster ready.

Wireless expansions happen though and tend to be pretty robust - until there's an extended power outage. Ice storms, severe storm lines and wildfires are tough on electricity infrastructure and remote areas get repaired last.

I guess that takes internet off the table, which supports your position.

However, your position might not be at odds with the article. AM radio abandonment is (presently) tied to EVs and those are less practical the farther out you are. It may be a long time before common rural vehicles are impacted.

Lastly, battery powered radios get dug out after disasters.
But Nvidia’s GPUs are sold all over the world … how is that an advantage to the Americans?
Yup. When the kids were younger, we always had Disney junior on. Mostly because I always like to have a bit of background noise (this kids didn't actually watch it that much) and it was kid friendly. The Disney junior logo burned into the screen.
I wrote somewhere about there being two kinds of complexities (not the very important essential/accidental, but a different categorization).

I called them vertical and horizontal, not sure if they have some better name, but the vertical one would correspond to “hard” problems, like some complex lock-free parallel algorithm that had to be made in exactly that way to not have race conditions. Or some of mathematics.

The other dimension would be the essential part of business logic, where the business logic has grown in a haphazard, organic way - but since other services depend on it, it has to work as is, from bug to bug almost. This is more like a biological system — cells have plenty of redundant, vaguely similar pathways handling the same thing, it is chaotic, but if you were to simulate the whole thing, you couldn’t go around it, you would have to implement the whole complexity. For a more human example, history might be such subject. These things are complex in the same way compressing a random noise file is.

A software can have both kinds os complexity, they are different axes — and I argue that CRUD apps are usually of the second kind, most of the former kind of complexity are handled by external services/libraries (e.g. they might enter two addresses to a third party system to get two coordinates, and put it to another service to plan a trip between the two — the app only handles the communication). But these can get arbitrarily complex, and the specification is the program itself. That’s why we continue to run Fortran/Cobol software at certain banking firms.
C is making a big comeback. More and more people are waking up to what utter garbage the modern frameworks and languages are.

Striking provides a forcing function to reveal the actual value to the employer of your labor.

In certain fields (e.g. medicine, academics) there are huge centers that represent the majority of jobs for a region. Specialized workers here find it harder to job hop, as there are fewer opportunities.

Striking provides another means to better pay. Say you value my work at $40/hr, but are currently paying my at $20/hr. In domains where employees don't have much recourse to just go find another employer, strikes provide a good mechanism to call the bluff of an employer. If they really only value your work at $20/hr, they'll not be willing to pay any more. If they do value it more highly, striking makes it so they have to choose between making concessions or losing work they value.

I don't mind the usage of "America" so much, but the term "American" just seems to be appropriated for U.S. citizens. Unfortunately, there isn't a decent term that refers to U.S. citizens, but not e.g. Mexicans or Canadians. It's possible to separate out Brazilians, Peruvians etc. by using "North Americans", but there seems to be a missing word.

Absolutely. I'm sure the PS5 has great graphics but some of the game creators don't pay attention to this enough, it's basically like throwing heavy computation at an average directed game and to me that's not appealing at all.

This is interesting since I remember having much lower latency for 3G, perhaps < 50 ms, about 10 years ago. :) At that time, some of my friends were even using the home 3G to play games.
Then don't compare the media coverage. Instead look at the actions of both countries. Read proposed legislation from US lawmakers going back almost two decades addressing the game theory between both nations. Read about the rampant IP theft that China has committed over the years, particularly in US-tax funded institutions. The US is simply planning ahead and severing ties which have kept us in a compromised position.

Sure, maybe some people are warhawking but most of the concerned people are focused on trade dependence and worried that China will take over Tiawan's production as a last resort. Is that an unreasonable view? What happens if they do decide to do that? Just let them do it?

IPC data seems a bit sus
But they are kilometers ahead of everybody else on predicting what prices NFTs sell for, and understanding the role of coloniality in data. It's a tradeoff, really.
The bitter lesson isn't really "algorithms bad", "don't try different approaches", "don't innovate" or "only work on models with massive compute".

The heart of the bitter lesson is "don't try to codify "insight" into the process". It's basically the age old "you don't know what you don't know".

The Transformer is kind of a perfect example. It boasts algorithmic improvements over RNNs and LLMs are by far the best performing take on language modelling ever. And yet the architecture itself has basically no breakthrough from understanding language itself. It's an improvement over standard RNNs but not really because of any new found insight or implementation on language itself.

Basically trying to cram human high level instincts/insights into the process of solving a problem doesn't work better than giving a general architecture tons of data and letting it figure that all out by itself.
I find the TikTok algorithm (perhaps not the platform) to be superior at giving me content I like/need and from creators that are (seemingly) authentic. I've seen far more diversity on TikTok than YouTube and due to there being no thumbnails or titles there is less clickbait.

I was rather surprised when Openreach came round and fitted our fairly rural area in Scotland with FTTP. We went from 20 down and 1 up to 1000 down and up.

The size of the visible homeless population in a city is mostly determined by the cost of housing and how cold it gets in the winter. SF is basically a worst case scenario of being insanely expensive but also warm enough that they don't feel an obligation to build shelters so people aren't freezing to death. People are homeless because it's too expensive to live, not because we're not punishing them harshly enough for being poor.
Can anyone explain to me why a nice rich suburb will not even allow a panhandler to stand in a center divide at an intersection, but SF basically allows open air drug use?

Is it just a matter of scale? You can stop 1 panhandler, but if you had 100 people to stop you couldnt?

If that's the case, once problems reach critical mass, is there any going back?

I think the point was you are looking at technology purely through the lens of processor speed. But technology incorporates a lot of elements of the design, not just raw speed.

While processor speed may have withered, there were other innovative and cutting edge aspects of the design.

Yes. And it’s one of the most useful gimmicks from Nintendo.

But imagine if the game was also sold on other consoles.

Most games coming on current gen hardware are utterly forgettable.

Zelda games, especially cell animation ones tend to age so well. Like WindWaker on the Game Cube. Such an amazing and fun game even on almost 20 year old hardware.

For all the amazing hardware on PS5 and Xbox Series ... most games releases are barely even an event that register in the cultural zeitgeist.

A few exceptions exist of course. But for the most part, yes the graphics are pretty but the game is not that fun.

And also, another thing Zelda has going for it and this cannot be said enough: it is a full freaking game. Not a broken game that needs to be patched up later (though there are always patches but the game isn't unplayable).

Nor is it pay to win. You unlock stuff by just playing and progressing. The Amiibo content is optional.

You get a full game with tons of stuff, ready to go. With a solid single player campaign and no online bullshit needed to experience it to its fullest. I cannot stress how much this needs to be said. But lately, broken or partial game experiences at triple A prices is a thing that people tolerate.
