This is misleading. Gross margin excludes operating expenses and taxes. Net margin or operating margin is more meaningful. Here's now the operating margins stack up for Q3 2023

Nvidia 57.5% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/nvda/financial...

Microsoft 47.6% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/msft/financial...

Meta 40.2% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/meta/financial...

Apple 30.1% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/aapl/financial...

Google 27.8% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/goog/financial...

Amazon 7.8% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/amzn/financial...

AMD 3.8% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/amd/financials

Apple is still extremely profitable for a company that primarily makes and sells hardware. Nvidia has a higher margin but that's because of the AI boom.
Okay, I mentioned this in some of my past comments, but try this:

Ask your "AI" something about a non-popular domain (e.g., Clifford algebra) or even ask it to derive something (e.g., the geometric product) given some axioms and definitions.

Mathematics is precise as it gets, yet it failed to derive the geometric product given a set of axioms (e.g., distributive property) and definitions.
Ask it to derive a theorem from perspective geometry.

Or, try something else that is not so popular or widespread (something outside of math), I suspect, that it also does a poor job deriving things from principles (axioms, definitions, theorems).

My idea is to work on small toy things I can finish in uhh 30 minutes, a day, a week, 30 years etc Ponder the big problems in life, read up what was done to progress the progress sufficiently to be able to participate in attempting to solve the puzzle. Look where others didn't look. Eventually you find a problem that fits your ability. This could be a small problem that takes 5 years to complete or a big problem that takes 1 day once you know how to do it.

Sometimes you just have to try stuff. Without going into details my 2 most stupid ideas turned out to be completely hilarious and unlike anything one could imagine in advance.

Everything was part of the army back then , that is the point.

Department of war was the “army” yes , but army is not what we think of army today, it literally included the entire air force - which wasn’t small auxiliary unit : both wars used tens of thousands of fighter planes .

Department of war was a department for war not just a name for what we know as army today .

Using '\' instead of '$' does not allow $variable as a shortcut to ${variable} making the syntax objectively harder to read.

Using '\' cleverly helps to detect when the processor is missing at compile time but it does not matter because the syntax mandates a big STR in front.
I don't think its possible to be working on 'absolutely nothing'. I think you'll find that if you really explore this idea that you can almost always go further. For example. Do you clean your house? Maintenance is something. The status quo is something and it need to be maintained to exist. I think you recognize this because you admit that you're working on yourself.

The only time I think you could truly do nothing is when you've passed.

I would say I was in a similar place - Wake up, Go to work, come home, watch youtube, sleep, repeat; I had projects I was interested in but couldn't bring myself to do them. For me, part of the answer was changing my environment, the people I was with, the culture was to chill because you're exhausted from work. Another part was, like you're doing now, working on yourself. Another, specific part of working on myself was taking inventory of the things I 'valued'. Did I truly still value those things or were they things from my youth that I am clinging to? Do I value them because I authentically value them or is it because culturally they are valued? Am I applying those cultural valued to places that matter to me. For example: "Hard work". I do value hard work, but the places I was applying that value did not provide return on the investment. So now I apply 'hard work' elsewhere.

I think it is both necessary and good to do this from time to time. Good luck on this journey.

Tells are something you see more of in “movie” poker rather than real poker. Most poker guides (as the OP alludes) discourage tell based play unless you are playing with people you are very familiar with and have studied over time. Even then, it’s a bit of a crapshoot as opponents can use this against you (“did he scratch his temple because he has a poor hand or because he wants me to think he has a poor hand?”)

The one suggestion that I do find helpful is not to look at your cards as they are dealt but instead look at your opponents’ faces as they look at theirs. Sometimes their micro-expressions betray them before they regain composure.

I'm pretty sure they will be flipping burgers by the 2040s, if not before, and doing everything else needed to efficiently make a (big) percentage of people jobless in first-world economies. Though, not in parts of the world where electricity regularly in the wire is still rare...because those problems don't solve themselves in a few short decades.

It is rarely an issue, since you should always go in order of who arrived at the stop sign first, except if two people arrive at the same time...the one to the right should go first, if they are opposing each other, the one turning left should yield (if both left, or both non-left, go at the same time).

It might, indirectly, by giving them "skin in the game". Once personally inconvenienced by being forced to adopt green technologies, politicians may be more inclined to invest in making those technologies less inconvenient. We might see a surge in bicycle infrastructure funding, for example.

A nonsense hypothetical, of course; the primary issue with the "global elite" is that one cannot force them to do anything at all. If you could force them to sell their private jets, you could simply force them to pass eco-friendly laws directly.

> I didn't like any of the sardukar fighting scenes, or how the ships exploded

I thought the ship explosion effect was brilliant and realistic in terms of how it would actually work if energy shields were a thing in real life. Just like how the slow blade penetrates a personal shield, the slow missile penetrates the ship’s shield. The movie shows this effect and the consequences. Once the missile gets past the shield, it explodes and the explosion is initially contained by the shield. However, the explosion spreads internally and it takes a second to take out the shield generator, at which point the explosion is no longer contained.

Just as an energy shield contains external explosions to the outside, it would also have the same effect on the inside for the brief moment the shield generator still operates.
This seems like an overreaction. According to Wikipedia [0] the rate of fatal crashes has gone from 0.2 per million to 4 per million. That isn't a change that requires a crisis response. Even grounding the planes is probably overdoing it. Aircraft travel is already safer than makes sense for it to be.

Would JWT support fit your use case?
Were they? I thought boeing was self certifying elements of the MAX like the door plugs, do you have something showing the FAA inspected the door plugs?

Everything I'm reading says the FAA is moving to divorce the certification process from Boeing to a third party as a consequence of this event where Boeing demonstrated they couldn't even certify the little things. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/12/1224444590/boeing-faa-737-max...

And that's my point about your comment coming across like it's in bad faith. Usually people throw out questions with implied inflammatory answers as a lazy way to incite argument, and then those questions either continue or are seasoned with false information ("the problems were signed off") when someone takes the bait. Then the OP tends to write off the bad faith perception claiming they're trying to engage sincerely. There's a name for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

---

Given how the FAA responded so far, honestly it could go either way whether they're investigated for it by the DOT OIG. If there is an investigation, it'd likely just be around this self certification process, not necessarily the whole org. And it looks like the FAA is moving quickly to demonstrate that they're not asleep at the wheel.

Not to derail the thread, but I thought WWZ was such a missed (both artistic and commercial) opportunity, by not following the structure of the book. They could have made a whole anthology of stand-alone films, each detailing a different element of the world / apocalypse. There was more than enough material for an entire franchise, they just needed to aim a little lower with each film.

The movie we got was _blah_, but does have one of the most visceral moments I've seen in any zombie flick: the bit where Brad Pitt stands on the edge of the roof, counting down the seconds until he'll know whether he's been infected or not.
Yes, you would need service with one of the partners to get roaming on all of them. Although on terrestrial networks in the US at least 911 service is supposed to work even on phones without any carrier plan. Maybe they can eventually work it out so that texting emergency services works on any phone anywhere globally even without service. That would be a great achievement for humanity.
Yeah I was talking about an API that would expose the file descriptors so you could use sendfile.
I'd argue that the decision to keep it in userspace was the right one. If an application doesn't get security updates, a broken QUIC stack is probably the least of your worries.

You also mention Android, which is notorious for having a lot of devices that don't get OS updates because they've reached end-of-life.

Protocol ossification at the OS level is also a valid concern.

On the other hand in the books Idaho appeared as so much of an outlier to every other person that "in a different movie entirely" seems weirdly fitting. You could even put Momoa in the Lynch version and it would seem accurate to the point of parody. The actual Idaho of the Lynch movie on the other hand, so unmemorable Lynch might have just written out the character entirely. The explanation given in the article (deliberately toned down to make the ghola version even bigger in part two) is an interesting excuse.

Don't know what your definition of "world" is, but people in China (that's 1.3b people) don't have access to WhatsApp, and the "default" chat app WeChat is monitored by the police at all time. So maybe you want to be a bit more accurate with wording.

Right now in my field (cryptography and security) the number of papers is exploding. The real battle at this point is not only finding time to read the papers, it's even finding time to learn about them. Unfortunately self-publishing (AKA preprints) just means we're producing a lot of papers nobody has time to read, many of them with obvious flaws and bad presentation that could easily be fixed. Peer-review is one rating system that helps to filter some signal from the noise.

I follow you, but as you can also follow your argument could be used not long ago in America to justify firing a chancellor (or other in prominent position) for being in a romantic relationship with a black person.

I recommend having a pre-built integration that dumps all changes to the database in a Debezium CDC compatible format. Not sure how you'd normalize Triplit changes into Debezium updates, but something to think about. Debezium CDC format lets you pipe changes from one DB into a stream system like Kafka, and then out of Kafka into another DB on the other end. It's handy.

Steve Wozniak, the Steve that built the first Apple computers, knew what every component on it did, and he wrote every line of the ROM. Nowadays it's, "Well a Stackoverflow comment said if I add this line in the config, it will work, and it did, so... I closed the ticket.", but the complexity of computers nowadays makes it unfeasible to learn everything inside out, at least not if you need a gazillion developers (I think only a low low sub-percent of them know their software and hardware stacks inside out) because everything needs to be software-ized.

The problem is that even a specialist vacuuming robot needs to be more of a generalist than you realize.

For example, take the "nothing was allowed to be on the floor" restriction. To relax this restriction, the robot needs to know what it can and cannot do for something it sees in the floor. List everything that could be on the floor (I'll wait). The robot needs to recognize all of these things, and know the correct behavior for each.

You could still do this! You'd need to label a ton of items and hardcode a bunch of behaviors. After all this R&D your robot vacuum would need to cost $5k-$10k, and you'd wish you'd worked on a higher priced product like a robotic forklift instead. Still, it's feasible to build this.

However, manipulation is a few orders of magnitude more complex than navigation. You have to recognize many objects, their precise poses, and many aspects of the objects. Think about opening a can with a can opener. The robot needs to recognize a few parts on the can opener, and how it fits on the can. Then you've got to hardcode behaviors for attaching the opener and then turning the knob until done, and removing the lid. Doable, but very very hard.

This is feasible, and you can build a can opening robot, but after 9 months of R&D, that's all your specialized robot will be able to do, and oops, there's 40 more tasks it needs to accomplish to cook a dinner. The only way to build this product is to tackle all the tasks at once, and that's why this research is so important. Everything you want a robot to do needs O(dozens) of individual tasks, and when each task takes O(year) to build it's impossible to finish.
