Intel didn't get a subsidy because they're poor, the subsidy exists because the US Government wants the company to do something (setup a fab on US soil) that is not necessarily in the shareholders best interest (cheaper to set up a fab elsewhere). The subsidy is the difference in both parties judge to be the cost of doing the expensive thing (that matches US strategic interests) vs the cheaper thing.
My point is that Apple Pay works wherever contactless cards are accepted, but yes, not all card issuers offer Apple Pay in the first place.
The numbers I have seen assign a capacity factor of 0.1 for renewables, that would require 900% overbuild.
Do you have any insulation? I'm in the UK, and my previous rental had walls that leaked any heat within half an hour, but my current one, it heats up to 23 in the day due to the large windows facing the sun, and barely drops to 18 at night when it's 5-10 degrees outside.
This project seems really interesting, I'm surprised this is the first time I'm hearing about it. Like another commenter here I'm also surprised to see no mention of Cue (or now Apple's Pkl). Is this meant to be something similar to those?

Also given it's a MS project, would love for there to be some drop in NuGet package for C# use. All these data description languages are really interesting but the fact none of them have a C ABI or only work in the language of choice seems to limit how useful they can be outside of their original context.
Having your own infrastructure is not really a barrier if you look at WiFi.

I kinda expected mmwave 5G to become an in-office replacement for WiFi: Completely managed by the provider, plenty of spectrum available and seamless roaming to public 5G.

But it didn't take off at all and most mobiles no longer even include mmWave antennas here in Europe (think Samsung). Nor do laptops. It would have been pretty ideal for this kind of indoor usecase.

I think part of the reason is that companies still really prefer to run their own infra.
Important to note that the last buyback was in June 2021.

They need subsidies because the US and Europe can't afford to have all leading edge chips manufactured in Taiwan and South Korea.
I've seen a few "can't scale many-to-many" Java/C things in my career... it's all about how you put things together. I don't think Java and C can go faster than light either ;-).

Does sum of all GDP/PPP (represented as a big rectangle) even make any sense?
The picture in my mind was: You have overbuilt solar charging nearby batteries (lithium ion, sodium ion, whatever) to cover the 4-hour busy period at night, and smaller amounts of longer duration storage like pumped hydro to cover the quieter periods after 10pm.

I'm not sure if that'd work out to be cheaper than doing the proposed 60% wind/45% solar mix with inter-state transmission. It would reduce the need for new transmission lines, though.
Yeah extending the struct tags to iota definitions would have made things much better.
Not just that, but real policy comes out of these books. Gladwell is highly influential among leaders of our bureaucracies. So when it comes time to look at airline safety policies, Gladwell's nonsense about Koreans being too hierarchical to fly safely can worm its way in there.

> NB that "returning money to the shareholders" is ultimately what companies are for

And here I thought companies are there to provide me, the consumer, and the customer, with useful products and services.

If the purpose is return of money to shareholders, then the best strategy is to over leverage the company, spend every penny on stock buybacks, then default on all obligations to suppliers, pension funds and customers.

Because you can fund stock buybacks with debt, but you could not do that with dividends.

We have made economic destruction profitable and it’s happening across our economy - water companies in UK are going bankrupt because they have huge debt that they took out just for stock buybacks, and not for anything else, and now interest rates are up. Same thing happened with airlines, and many other firms.
Thanks for ellaborating! Although de-regulation and regulation have other properties, I'd posit they are in essense are forms of capital allocation.

When you regulate an industry you require more capital investment from that industry, either by investing in new processes, implementing compliance mechanisms, maybe hiring extra quality-assurance people or having to dispose of trash in a better way, etc. Regulation mostly implies more investment by the participants in that specific segment of the market, it's like a reverse capital injection, or an added tax.

The same way de-regulation is like giving that segment of the market a cash bonus because they can relax processes that require money to run and operate more efficiently.

More importantly regulation and deregulation also add or remove rules, so they change the behavior of the participants. If you want to have the same effect of regulation and deregulation but not by driving change in rules of operation (maybe because as the government you don't know yet which rules to create - or the different political factions cannot agree), an easier way is to directly give money, and depending on how you allocate it, I think it can be a fair way to do it.

Another way of thinking about this as a system is imagining the case where you want to promote investment in the semi-conductor industry but not at the expense of processes. Said another way, what would you de-regulate in the semiconductor industry to have the same effect as a capital injection to the leading semiconductor companies in your country? Surely you're not proposing them to be able to use more dangerous chemicals and dispose them however they want, or other types of de-regulation? It would reduce the barriers to entry and help semiconductor companies, but with negative externalities. Messing with regulations always has this potential for unpredictable secondary effects.

I'm not convinced regulation/deregulation is in principle superior to just allocating money pools with fair rules to access them. I'm obviously against nepotism and influence peddling as part of the money allocation process and I'm not defending the injection into Intel specifically, which probably suffered from a big amount of influence peddling.

Yeah, that's a given.

About the only functional use I can think of would be if devices still had headphone jacks, you could probably get away with snaking headphones out and listening to music/podcasts/whatever you'd already downloaded.

The quantum erasure experiment is to my mind the best example of the spooky action at a distance. The outcome of the particle pairs is measured after the entanglement occurs implying not just "spooky action at a distance" but also in time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ORLN_KwAgs
How many companies are there that actually implement 5G, as opposed to buying a chipset from those that do?

Hardly surprising that this capability is slow to trickle down from the huge market of cellular to reuse of protocol concepts in the local wireless niche. It's one thing to select a gaint for riding on the shoulder of, another to actually do the climbing.
> The simple answer is that although it's early days for DECT-2020 NR, it promises to fill a genuine 'gap' in the wireless IoT market for massive machine-type communication. An area where failure is not an option and could put at risk automation processes, critical infrastructure, livelihoods, if not lives themselves.

With regards to reliability, Wifi 8 seems have been dubbed "Ultra High Reliability" (UHR), as that will be its area of focus:

Sure, you can also add some anonymous prepaid/gift cards to Apple Pay, but my point is that Apple Pay does not add any privacy/anonymity beyond that of the underlying card, contrary to what some people seem to still believe.

The PAR was introduced after Apple Pay (and in a way in response to it and other wallets), and some people might have missed it.
This is a nice daily newsletter with AI news: https://tldr.tech/ai
The has been a ton of debate since the war over whether Japan would have surrendered, and if so how early. The concern at the time, and it has always seemed reasonable to me, was that the Japanese were committed to fighting to the last person and to make them surrender through combat on their home turf would have killed many, many more than the two nukes did.

I don't raise that as justification and personally wish we were never stupid enough as a species to build such a weapon, but we tend to be that stupid. I do, though, agree that we likely would have lost more people on both sides and for Japan that number still would have included a large number of civilians.

So you have thousands of dollars worth of insulation because you live in an arctic climate.

Congratulations I suppose.

Now instead of just spending hundreds of billions on building a new grid Australians will also have to spend hundreds of billions on insulating their houses.
>I'm surprised this happened so quickly.

That's because of the conservative government, imposing ideological cuts on the BBC. The BBC's budget was cut by 30% between 2010 and 2020 because of freezes to the license fee, withdrawing funding for the World Service and the liability for free licences for over 75s being shifted from the government on to the corporation.

Climate Crisis and Our Responsibility
- just cutout from my writing -

The heated debate on climate crisis if it is one, like I said no one have the
power to predict or control the future. Average people are not responsible for
none of it besides has no control over it. The problem isn't the concern
instead the solution for climate crisis does not appears to be a solution at
all. It is like this, you step into a restaurant, nothing in restaurant are
within our control. We eat our meal, pay for the food and services, leave. The
way I am seeing how this been address for climate crisis, addition to payment
for the food and services, you'll bring your utensils, clean up after your
meal and maybe bringing own food; still pay more for it. I finding general
population unaware of it, instead continue embracing it, they bring own
plastic bags for grocery shopping, as said earlier they are not in control to
held responsible. The so call the polluting material was given to everyone in
order gain something in return, we did not ask for it nor have choice or
options; nothing is free. We did not made the decision nor responsible for
it.

It is a silly notion there is anything wrong per se about stock buybacks. Just as you can sell stock when you need cash (and lose some control) it is simply buying stock back when you saved some cash (and regain control).

The only reason stock buybacks are thought of in negative light is that they seem to be a way for companies to not pay taxes... but the tax law is not companies' fault! It is our fault for the tax law to be this way!

>> The researchers illustrate their new approach with a simple chore: scooping marbles from one bowl and pouring them into another.

I would love to have a robot that can carry out this common household task. I have to do this every week, on Saturdays, when the bowl holding the marbles overflows with the offerings deposited by the Roc birds at the top of the windcatcher in my desert redoubt. The marbles are sometimes made of quartz, sometimes nephrite, rarely ruby, emerald, sapphire or diamond and so they have to be disposed off, or the sand worms will come for them.

More seriously, training a classifier to map LLM instructions to robot arm actions, as the researchers in the article did is smart, but their motivation was error correction and that, while intersting, is not the big problem. The big er limitation of imitation learning is that if you teach a robot to scoop marbles from bowl A and pour them into bowl B by imitation learning ... that's the only thing it will be able to do. Scoop marbles from bowl A to bowl B. The same bowls A and B, placed in the same positions, with only a small error tolerance (centimeters) and the marbles better be the same colour as the ones seen in training, the spoon better be the same shape, or else!

Or else you're going to be stepping on lots of marbles. My common sense tells me that can be very painful.

Huh, for me its opposite, I`m ok with reading/fixing/updating few pages of code if its easy to read and easy to update.

Which is totally affordable, not that big a deal.

Some of the US government plans involve getting to 95% carbon free electricity, then refocussing investment to electrifying anything that still uses fossil fuels as the cost/benefit will have tilted dramatically at that point, even for the harder to electrify sectors, and provide more bang for buck than fretting about the last percent of peaker plants.

That is exactly what I think. If you got decent and educated developers, they should be up to speed fairly quickly. But management layers often have no trust at all, even if it would take maybe merely 2 weeks to be able to do basic implementations in a new language and ecosystem. Basically it means, that we cannot possibly spend 2 weeks becoming better engineers, but we can spend infinite time on wrangling with lesser tools.

I would love the chance to learn more Erlang (looked at the beginning of "Learn you some Erlang for great Good") or Elixir (used in last year's AoC) on a job and get to use OTP, watch it run my function calls on multiple machines and all that. I know a lot about functional programming, as I do it in my free time (big Scheme fan).

As it is currently, I cannot apply my skills at the job. For example when I think that some code should not mutate some state, but rather use pure functions and the tests should be simply function calls and checking the output, then I don't get the time to do that, nor the time to show how this would look like and how it would make things simpler. No one aside me on the job seems to be interested in purely functional data structures/persistent data structures either, which sooner or later are necessary, if one wants to make things purely functional. So basically I am the only person with that knowledge and cannot apply it. It is so dull.

It sounds like it's bring pivoted away from phones and towards IoT in places like factories, with a focus on being more reliable than WiFi in places where it really matters
As far as I've been able to tell from testing, Android's does this too.

Edit: unless you enable "Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization" in developer options (this should be the default imo, and should be a per-network option like persistent randomization and device mac address)
Probably only the latter. My point was that executives (share sellers) benefit and it creates potentially toxic incentives.
