> I'd say not so much a hero woman, but ignorant would-be rescuers.

They weren't trained professional rescuers; they were family members, trying to save a baby, in moments of surreal chaos.

Right after they're tragically killed, calling them "ignorant would-be" sounds harsh.

I guess the harsh might be due to upset reaction to tragedy, when it might've been avoided, if they knew something that had been drilled into you already in training. But still harsh.

In another context, I imagine that reviewing various real-world examples would be good for DRS-ABCD training. Which can be done with respect for people who were lost.
> Somehow I get the feeling most commenters who criticise Singapore for its 'draconian authoritarian totalitarian xyz-itarian oligarchic police state laws' have never set foot in the place.

Rather ironically, if the original comment about "dissident blogger is a capital crime" is literally true, your observation basically confirms it due to survival bias, because nobody could criticize Singapore's government while being physically there. :)

That said, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

> At what point will Apple try to build/buy their own foundry?

As soon as they are tired of having money.

It isn’t just the cost of building Fabs, literally their entire supply chain is based on being Fabless, and changing that is ridiculously expensive. They have some amazingly skilled chip designers inhouse, but even so many aspects of the actual manufacturing side of the design process were not done at Apple, although they exert an outsized influence.
> If you notice high energy use while cooking, are you going to start eating more salads instead?

Of course, why wouldn't you? If the assumption isn't that effectively unlimited power is available on demand you adjust use accordingly.

On sunny days with excess power maybe you charge and do laundry. On a stretch of cloudy days you avoid long periods of cooking or using large tools like sellers or air compressors.

Adjusting to our environment rather that chasing convenience is a very reasonable approach to makinh a real dent in reducing our environmental impact.
I doubt they would support a study that possibly conclude to use less of their products, or they might test a number of hypotheses and then only pursue a published study on whatever makes cosmetic products appear better. It's sensible to write off any study that has such a clear conflict of interest in doing actual science.
Thanks for taking a look and the feedback! I haven't heard of tripit, will take some time to explore it. There is definitely some room / appetite for some form of integrations to help "automate" the process, but haven't taken the time to really dive deep here, but I'm glad that someone else has mentioned this too!

Your mileages may vary, but it used to be related to Google.
Ya it leads to a lot of power struggle and killing, of course it has stigma. This was news back when Hobbes published Leviathan. There’s a reason the US is a safe place for the majority of its citizens for hundreds of years and not for the parts where there’s gangs or in Mexico where there’s cartels contesting power.

Software isn’t nearly as expensive as building airplanes, and the cost of being wrong is infinitely lower. That’s why we build it fast, and iterate quick. It’s not a good comparison.
> Just explain the client the situation, what's the risk and for what additional cost it can be lowered. And I have no doubt this is what was happening in NASA, in other words this was no "underpromise and overdeliver", this was "explain the situation and agree on trade-offs leading to the best ratio of positive outcome for the price".

That doesn't work well when communicating indirectly, through politicians and journalists, to the public at large. It may not work when communicating to elected politicians.
Oldowan is ~3MYa to 1.5ish MYa. 500 kYa would be Acheulean or even upper Sangoan depending on the region.

I don’t think Levallois started until around 300kYa (the error bars are huge, 385k is another interpretation).

There is usually a bigger of truth behind conspiracy theories. In this case there may be no reason to think the initial goal is to control what people are allowed to use energy for, but smart grid initiatives do open the door for that. The same automated systems that allow individuals to reduce their carbon footprint today could be abused to control people later.

> With AI, you don't need art school. AI is making humanities redundant, and people are too proud to admit it.

If you think this is true, you've never understood art. Art is a human endeavour fundamentally. What ML produces is not art.
Nope, just going off of interviews I've seen over the years and just general realities of engineering, kind of hard to design such long lived systems if you're genuinely just aiming for the publicly stated 90 days or whatever else. Plus, I've been learning that the lab I work at is pretty similar. It isn't outright lying, but technically it's not wrong to promise the most pessimistic version of what you think you can deliver that is still interesting enough to get funding.

By clients I mean politicians and the general public, who take even delays or testing-to-failure as being actual failure.

Indeed. There is a slight temperature dependent de-rating, but in general that is correct. To add, Littelfuse is in fact the inventor of the standard automotive blade fuses - they know their fuses if anyone does. I archived a datasheet of some of their blade fuses here [0] - you can see that a 1-amp fuse will run at 1A indefinitely, 2A for 300ms, 3A ~100ms, 4A ~60ms, 5A ~40ms etc. The same datasheet will tell you the temperature derating for their blade fuses is less than 25% at any temperatures you want your electronics to live at.

Another fun fact that is obvious from applying Ohm's Law - you can calculate the current flowing through a fuse by measuring the voltage drop. You can do the math yourself, or there are handy "fuse voltage drop charts" so you don't even have to use a calculator. Yes, this means that with a simple oscilloscope you now have a portable energy meter that requires zero rewiring. Ha, I accidentally brought us full circle :)

>Which came first, the Heart, Blood Vessels or Blood? Which ones were "selected for" before the others arrived? How would a random process, uncoordinated through time select for these things and keep them while they're "not useful" until they are? etc etc

Evolutionary biologists have very detailed answers to all of these questions, plus a bunch more that are far more complicated and confounding to laypeople. You can even find some great popular science books that hold your hand and walk you through some of the absolutely mind-boggling ways in which we have found evolution to work. It doesn't require any advanced math courses to wrap your head around if you go at the topic patiently and with an open mind.

The numbers and timescales on which evolution has been operating are astronomical, far too large for a human mind to comprehend in any meaningful sense. Of course it's products are also going to be a challenge to comprehend. Especially if you start forming opinions before you have consulted the experts and put in the hard work of trying to learn how those experts know what they think they know.

Where Do Interrupts Happen? (2019)
No humans aren’t bees or ants. We’re social animals and you can’t ignore society and culture as aspects of evolution.

Regardless, you’ve taken this whole thing in a weird direction bringing up a demographic collapse that is a fringe theory at the moment. As for that hypothesis, there’s no actual indication that humanity is in any danger of a collapse just because the boomer generation is passing and our numbers return to normal. Humans can reproduce quite quick and have a long reproductive lifecycle - if it ever becomes a problem society will change to priority life more. As it is, life has gotten pretty difficult in terms of supporting kids and people having fewer is a symptom of that and not consumerism as you claim. And children are both a blessing and a burden. If they weren’t a burden then the statistics about teenager births and the outcome for the parents and babies wouldn’t be as bad as they are.

I use Siri on my phone every day. Mainly to set timers and alarm clocks or to check the weather.

I don’t believe I’ve ever used it regularly for anything else. Maybe once in a while I’ll be driving and I’ll ask Siri for directions to some place.

It’s difficult to see why anybody would bother paying monthly subscription money for Alexa. If you have an iPhone Siri can do all the basic stuff (set timers, look up the weather) that Alexa can.

Do some people use Alexa to adjust their home lights and stuff? Would non-wealthy people actually pay money in the form of a monthly subscription just so Alexa can adjust your home lights?

Seems like Amazon’s strategy here doesn’t make sense to me. But I’m not Jeff Bezos so what do I know….

I appreciate a good pun, but doing so when someone dies isn't a good look.
My understanding: Delay slots only make sense when you don't have a branch predictor.

I get the impression that many people massively underestimate how powerful branch prediction is. Even a simple 2 bit saturating counter will correctly predict about 90% of branches, and the accuracy only goes up with better designs.

So why optimise for the uncommon case of incorrectly predicted branches? In the worst case with static branch delay slots, it actually harms branch prediction, because instead of executing the correctly predicted instructions, it's executing the delay slot, which is often a nop because the compiler couldn't find something to put there.

With your other ideas (multiple decoders, explicit delay slots) it's just a question about if it's a good use of resources (design time, transistors, compiler support) to support this uncommon case, or if you might be better off optimising something else like the branch predictor so more code goes down the common path, or just improving the pipeline's throughput in general.

Ants and bees in a hive have very similar genetics. Typically 75%, and sometimes 100%, if I remember.

This means that a hive in some ways is best thought of as a single organization, which happens to have a "distributed" body.

In that view, the non reproducing individuals are propagating their DNA in the same sense that human liver cells do, even though they don't have the direct involvement that down and egg cells do.

The downsides are the same as any other organization of people with all the same flaws. The goals of the leaders diverging from the interests of the members, unions negotiating contracts that are harmful to the health of the business (although that’s also on the companies involved to some extent).

As for rewards, look at how actors, writers, directors etc get paid - the vast majority of those professions you never hear about and only hear about the ones that are making insane amounts of money from it. The union rules also covers things like residuals and stuff but again afaik it’s all about establishing minimums - the exceptional talent can always negotiate a better deal when they are in demand.

Why would any of that be specific to millennials, though? The way you’re describing it nothing would have changed in a very long time.

I’m pretty sure the “I’m too poor to have a family” perspective stems directly from the wild increases we’ve see in the price of housing and not a whole lot else.

Because of sanctions, Iran has adapted to operating without fitting into global supply chains. By disrupting supply chains, they are participating in asymmetrical warfare.

Details which are meant to be ignored. When you use async/await constructs in various languages, you don't care about the fact that they are desugared into callback chains under the hood. You either do async/await in a language or you don't. That's what the concept of 'your function has a colour' means. If you want to change the meaning, OK but then you're talking about something else.

The threat is to merchant shipping, not to Navy ships, which have countermeasures upon countermeasures.

The current SOTA in anti-ship technology are the Chinese hypersonic missiles such as the DF-26, which are believed to pose a credible threat to aircraft carriers. Iran is also developing hypersonic missiles like the Khalij Fars, but the Houthis don't have these and they are substantially less capable than the Chinese ones.

FTA:

> Civilian vessels can adopt security measures to thwart attempted boardings, but they lack defences against anti-ship missiles. While Western military vessels have advanced air and missile-defence capabilities – using them to down Houthi missiles and UAVs – they are constrained by the number of interceptor missiles they can carry and the challenge of restocking depleted inventories.
