well ... it either deserves to be called a "paradox" or the term "paradox" cannot be applied to anything and is only of philosophical relevance as the existence of a paradox is impossible by definition. that's why the term is applied for seemingly contradictory observations ...
Exactly! Let's not get involved. The politicians are doing a bang-up job. No need for improvement.
It's clearly confirmed that galaxies don't obey the known laws of quantum electrodynamics (QED) + general relativity (GR) if we assume they are made entirely of Standard Model particles. So, either QED is wrong (extremely unlikely) or GR is wrong (unlikely) or there is some matter that is not in the Standard Model (plausible).

Dark matter corresponds to option 3 - and there are observations that conform some models of dark matter distribution that match quite well between different galaxies. There are other theories as well, such as MOND (modified Newtonian gravity) that explore option 2 (GR is wrong).

Still, whatever the theory, it's clear that what is not happening is "aliens someone consuming all of the EM radiation from some stars". With anything resembling currently known physics, it's impossible to "consume" EM radiation in this way. Electric charge is always conserved, electrons and quarks don't disappear just because they move around, even with something like controlled fusion. A Dyson sphere would be an extremely hot visible object, not some dark point.

Things that are mass-produced in very high volumes by injection molding are never molded just one at a time: the molds have multiple cavities to make many parts at a time in a single molding shot. Very often, each cavity will have a marking to identify it: sometimes just a number, sometimes alphanumeric, sometimes dots. So you can tell that if everything coming out of cavity B12 is having quality problems, you probably need to inspect that cavity.

Now take a look at the picture in the article of the undersides of the DIP-40 parts. There are two circles, which are either ejector pin locations or just things that look like them. (Ejector pins are the things that kick finished parts out of the mold once they're done.) Inside a few of those circles you find those cavity markings. I'm not sure exactly why the ejector pins and cavity markings (appear to?) coincide, but it's pretty common out there in the wild. You'd need someone who's more of a mold specialist and less of an EE to answer that one.

Show HN: pg-bulk-ingest – Now with multi-table support
I (with others) made a Python utility for loading data into PostgreSQL incrementally from ETL-ish pipelines. Its API supported ingesting into multiple multiple tables at the sort of "structural" level from its beginning (more or less), but didn't actually support it if you tried to do it. And I've been umming and ahhing on how best to do it. No way seemed perfect...

We should also remember that, for google cloud, if you’d like to migrate away you actually can without paying egress costs:

https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/eliminatin...

This doesn’t change business as usual egress fees, it’s likely a stopgap to prevent being accused of anticompetitive practices.
One trick to watch out for: a cloud provider offering inexpensive egress can still make high-egress expensive by controlling the network speed of their instances. Several vendors require you to scale your whole instance if you saturate any of the components (like needing to upgrade from the 2 CPU to the 4 CPU instance to increase the network throughput, even though you don't need more CPU). On paper egress looks cheap and the instances look well priced for the hardware you get, but if you workload doesn't need balanced a balanced instance (1 CPU / 1 GB RAM / etc.) the pricing can get wonky.

Now with the Japanese cars being so much more reliable and cheaper, and electric cars - first Tesla but coming up soon, even much better and cheaper Chinese ones - are also higher performance and have more of a "cool" factor - i don't know who still buys German cars.

It feels like the wrong criticism to me for that reason. As far as form goes, who cares about GPT/not-GPT? If there's an issue with the form, point out that issue. If there's an issue with content, point out that issue.

There's a separate argument about potentially unknowingly copying someone's exact words. But beyond that, it's a lazy criticism that's common on the internet. You could mentally replace "it's GPT" with "it's lame". Ok - but why does the person think it's lame.

it wouldn't be uncommon for the fab not to be announced or not announced up front. it's not really a consumer-facing spec, and it's not NVIDIA's announcement to make.

samsung and intel foundry services are both serious possibilities imo, NVIDIA is incredibly portable across nodes and will take advantage of anything that's cheap and makes sense as a product.

for example pascal used samsung 14LPP for the 1050 and 1050 Ti, and the A100 was taped out on TSMC 7nm (not samsung 8nm), etc. They are actually quite diversified, they have a product foothold on almost every node that matters, if Samsung suddenly becomes a blazing deal they're ready to go. Etc.

they also already signed a semicustom licensing deal with Mediatek last year, this is part of an overall trend of NVIDIA pivoting towards licensing and platform. ARM wasn't a play to sell more Tegras, it was a play to have GeForce be the default IP for the base tier ARM licenses.

He's struck gold, now he is trying to convert it into platform. And with Sony pivoting towards AI/ML and RT upscaling with PS5 Pro, they will be essentially on par with Ada in broader feature set. And the Playstation API is a platform worthy to rival his own, Sony is uniquely positioned to go after him in the AI market and leverage studios into creating some value for them (especially with CPU speeds not increasing - use the tensors or don't, I guess!). Apple is surging ahead with Metal too - they have an excellent platform as well. His time is not unlimited here.

Some interesting thoughts:

1. A good amount of attention of a student is already configured, allotted and divided on Social Media (Most of which is entertainment).
2. Handwritten notes pose as one of the most effective tools for learning (as opposed to typed/textbooks/lectures). Create a repository for that.
3. For example an avid notes-taker visits the website and post his/her notes. What's in it for the student? Could there be some way to incentivize that?
4. How would you connect students with related interests? Form a way of recommending and relating them, to form study groups as compared to manually finding and forming them.
5. Most importantly, it has to be made sure the discussions revolve around the objective of the platform. Maybe use LLMs for reminding students who deviate from their objective in chat? (Don't save the personal conversations but predictions could be made)

>invest in what really matters to them

You see libraries and schools barely having enough funding to function while consumers spend thousands on entertainment. I don't really trust the average Joe to know "what really matters". Or at least not realize it matters until it's too late.

Not to say government spending doesn't have its share of inefficiencies and outright corruption. But they at least have some checks to keep it from going off thr deep end (both literally and socially via elections).

That's what they want you to believe, but in fact besides some obvious exclusivities (like the chips) most of the parts are just the same stuff as any other premium phone. And when it comes to displays, considering Samsung is their largest supplier it is silly to think Samsung cannot sell phones with displays just as good (they just make different choices for calibration and important specs).

The majority of the special sauce lies in the overall integration and the software.
The reason Apple goes so hard against all this is because they have lost most of their special sauce; their competitors have caught up and even surpassed them on many points both for software and integration.

This is why they push a narrative of their stuff being made from unreproducible special sauce when it is clearly a logical impossibility, Apple itself having zero production capability of anything.
You have to remember that current Apple is run by an operation man, that special "skill" is basically rationalizing supply chain and pushing suppliers to get whatever he wants at whatever specs they need for whatever price he wants.

That's basically the whole problem: this fool has his massive ego engaged in the company and he believes that he creates a lot of value with his "work" because in the ends it makes a lot of profit. And this is why he wants you to believe that the value lies in sourcing said parts. Not in actually making them, not even in specifying them and not even in the labor for replacing them. He would rather use the cheap slavery labor of china, more profit for him, no need to pay a living wage to peoples living in a free country.

If Apple were a company taking risks, investing large amounts of capital for manufacturing cutting edge stuff (preferably in the free world where they make most of their money...) they would have a leg to stand on.
You could only get parts for Apple devices from themselves and it would make sense because they would be the only ones producing them and that would be it, anything else could be considered "fake" in some way.

But it is not the case, they buy parts from 3rd party suppliers that sell them to their specs and conditions; then they get another 3rd party to assemble them and finally they sell them making the vast majority of the profit in the chain.
They already got their profit for the integration and design, they shouldn't be allowed to prevent suppliers to sell the parts they make for Apple in the open market at whatever price they want to. And then the consumer is free to choose, go back to Apple and its inflated profits for repairs or find another business who could provide the same service at lower cost while providing same quality for parts. Considering how bad Apple pays its employees the funniest thing is that the other business is more likely to pay a better wage to its worker while providing same or better service quality. At the very least a lot more of the value goes into labor than into Apple profits which in itself can only be better for everyone...

I see it a lot like the push for pay transparency we’ve seen in the last few decades. There’s a lot about the corporate world that is kept unnecessarily private, with a bit of shame attached to it.

I thought I'd try your app and paid for the 'pro' version, but I'm not happy that the first thing that is a prerequisite for it to function at all, is that it demands:

> access to control “System Events.app”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “System Events.app”, and to perform actions within that app.

Not allowing this access, seems to disable use of the app altogether - not even a window appears, and there's no menubar item (it's not even capable of quitting on its own - I need to go into the Force-quit dialog to close it).

Two things would be useful:

1. At the very least, explain why you're going to request this access, and why the app needs it to function

2. Try to architect the app without needing the permission, at all.
