You might be from Slovenia then. I occasionally pass by the Slovenian reddit and sometimes see stories about interesting computers and designs from Yugoslavia times.

I hope to spend a month on a vacation in Slovenia this summer and visit the Računalniški muzej in Ljubljana. There's a retro computer museum in Rijeka, Croatia as well, which I unfortunately missed last year.
I was in the local library yesterday for the first time in a while and they had a 3d printer AND THEY WERE HATCHING BABY CHICKS! How awesome is that!
No, but basing capabilities solely on what they imagine "well-known websites" might want is.
This shouldn't surprise anyone here because we've seen it happen time and time again with Silicon Valley. The urban infrastructure in the Bay Area is truly awful. The cost-of-living is out-of-control. There has been many attempts to recreate SV elsewhere [1] and while there has been some success, nothing has rivalled the original.

So people are in the Bay Area because people are in the Bay Area and that's hard to transplant or reproduce because a startup in Ohio will ultimately have better access to capital, people and an entire ecosystem by relocating to SV.

A lot of Chinese (and Taiwanese) companies now benefit from a culture they've created. Additionally there are supply issues. Factories in Shenzhen or Guanghzhou or Taiwan can now get all the supplies they need from all the factories that exist in that area. There's no cultural or language barrier with suppliers and the rest of the company.

It is going to be extremely difficult and require sustained dedication to recreate chip manufacturing somewhere other than Taiwan, China, Japan or South Korea. Those places have decades of experience at this point and (now) an ecosystem advantage.

"How did we get here?" is an interesting question because Taiwan's chip dominance was largely created by US manufacturers repeatedly seeking short-term cost-cutting. Dell (for example) would start assembling PCs in Taiwan to save on labor costs. And then they'd make PCB boards to save costs. And then they'd produce the RAM and storage there. Ultimately the entire PC was made there and suddenly they've created Asus and have funded every step of its development.

My preference is to only replace my phone when my current one malfunctions and is not feasibly/economically viable to repair.

If the US wanted to defend Taiwan with nukes wouldn't it just use bombers - no need for the weapons to actually be based on Taiwan?
Next up the abc-conjecture!

Claimed to be proven in 2012, and to 400+ page paper is online. But I don't many accept the proof.

Please read my post. That's not my claim. I think I was very clear.

The real takeaway from this is about controlling sensory inputs. My wife is "neuro-spicy" and we have to consider those things when we go adventuring. What we've found best is to make sure there's always enough "controlled" things each day. Going to a museum, walking around a city, or going for a hike are great, but unpredictable. One or two each day are fine, but too many can cause burnout. Earplugs, books, snacks & water can help a lot with this stuff. Planning ahead is very important.

As an example, she absolutely hates airports but doesn't mind flying. The noises, announcements, people moving around, never knowing if your gate will change, all of it is awful to her. I don't mind the airport but once the plane is in the air watching the time tick down is torture to me. Everybody's a little different.

The "spoon theory" [1] can help things make sense, and it's a great start, but it's a bit more nuanced than that. It's more about controlling exposure to "unexpected" stimulus.

> If there were a separate display mode, then you'd have to repeat the grid-column specification for the masonry layout, which seems a shame.

Why? What's the downside to reusing grid-column-template or whatever for the CSS Masonry spec?
No thank you. I just want all the whitespace to take a hike. I certainly don't need this layout if webdevs are just going to put all the content on the center 1/3 to 1/4 of my screen.
Tides depend on both the moon and sun. So does the phase of the moon.

Tides are largest at full moon and new moon, when their gravity gradients combine to enhance each other's tides. A week later, their gravity gradients interfere, decreasing the amplitudes of the tides.
I'm curious why they would go through the hassle of raising a relatively small amount this way instead of just asking a bit more from the VC's. Probably this?

> the RUV will sign a proxy voting agreement with Framework’s Founder and CEO, Nirav Patel that will allow him to determine how to vote the RUV's shares for most matters submitted to stockholders for approval.
Yeah it's sad really. It's become a worse version of social media where everything is fake, your data gets sold to the highest bidder, and you compete for a chance at mid, awkward sex with strangers.
It sounds like much of the problem is not time spent working, but cultural friction. The American's expect a work environment similar to in American companies, while the Taiwanese (both management and others) expect Taiwanese standards, and neither side wants to back down. This will cause both sides to have something resembling racist feelings towards the other group.

And when there isn't even a shared language that all can use (and are willing to use), it doubles the problem and introduces a lot of inefficiency.

English is generally the current Lingua Franca, but TSMC employees appear to be either to proud of their language or improperly selected for language mastery to be willing or able to switch. And finding enough staff able to work using mostly Mandarin is probably even more unrealistic.

TSMC will probably overcome all of these issues, if the motivation is there. It's just that things will move a bit more slowly than expected until the culture issues settle down.
Been out of the dating scene quite a while, but for those who are not, has the 'old school' way of meeting people and asking a phone number etc. become harder now? Do people only want to use dating apps for that purpose now?

Why bring DEI into this? Is there any factual information that DEI is the reason why the build out failed to meet expectations?

Or is it more likely that TSMC is building a highly specialized factory and is used to working with Taiwanese contractors who already have the skills, equipment, and training? Even more likely that their estimates and schedules are all built around prior experience in Taiwan and thus those estimates and planning all failed to account for the scale of challenges in dealing with an entirely different labor market.

I see no reason why DEI is even brought into this discussion.
Same experience, I wilfully switched my handwriting to American 1 (one) as a single vertical line with the European 7 (seven) having an horizontal line midway for disambiguation in a multicultural work environment.
Quite common in videogames, too.

A specific example would be the Carapace (armor) upgrades in Starcraft 2 (one faction, the Zerg, are basically insects).

Also sometimes used for (humanoid) armor crafted from shells (fantasy settings).

I think this is MUCH more prevalent in scifi/fantasy targeted at male audiences, and the data confirms it [1]

update:
The quote discrepancy has been mostly corrected today. We'll see if there are any other ramifications considering the slight-misquote did lead to other criticisms.

It's a dangerous game when news articles are rewriting content pulled from news wires (eg, Canadian Press in this case) and it's not always clear which sections are pulled from where. There's an argument for legitimate AI-rewriting that can at least leave in direct sources for the content that it pulls in/summarizes (a task that ends up being a hindrance for deadline-facing humans).
In contrast, public libraries around the Philly area are essentially dead. Town libraries are so underfunded that their mortar presences are open only until 7 PM M-Th, close at 5 F & Sa, and are closed Sundays. They have greatly reduced their paper book holdings and now rely almost entirely on ebooks, which number fewer than 2000, and interlibrary loans of any kind do not exist.

In contrast, public libraries in Michigan are thriving (another place I know well). I have no idea why the difference is so stark.

In my over 60 years, I've never lived anywhere so illiterate as Philly.

Seems like an excellent incentive for people who can afford it to install sufficient solar panels and batteries to just drop the grid connection. Especially combined with what I've read about many-months-long delays to hookup installed systems, while your brand new panels sit there providing zero watts.

It make sense. I was going to ask who is paying the bill? I don't see ads or other income source.

If two users make the same request, are you reusing the old images?

I tried with "happy banana"[1] a few times and got different images each time.

That's realy surprining. /s Anyway, I recomend to generate a bunch of images of different topics and add them to the front page.

[1] There are a lot of AI post, so to save time and creativity I try every tool with "banana". But after a few tries I decided to make a harder taks and decide to try "happy banana".

Edit: When I clik "AI Tatoo geerator" at the top, I expect to see only tatoo images samples. So add another feature request from me.

Not quite, unfortunately! I almost had the opportunity, briefly, in 2019 when I was contributing some patterns to a short film that Will Cavendish was working on with Conway, called "Thoughts on Life":

https://www.thoughtsonlifefilm.com/

But there was never really a good excuse to arrange a meeting, given Conway's very fragile health at that point -- and then COVID came along.

Conway regularly attended the bi-annual Gatherings for Gardner in Atlanta for quite a while, but by the time I started attending he could no longer travel that far.

Not a question but as a fellow Life enthusiast I thought I’d surface an alternative Life hack I made a few years ago based on physical Kong Bucks from Stephenson’s Snow Crash: https://kong.cash/

Each note is an actual flexible polyimide PCB containing a hardware storage wallet - the PCBs are translucent in parts or solid in others depending on a copper pour but overprinted with ink using a special UV process - but one of the security features is when one holds a note up to the light one can see a Game or Life program which when executed emits a corresponding number of gliders and oscillators as the notes value. This feature is to prevent one from “washing” a note and printing a different value as is done with $5 and $100 US bills for instance as the copper pour is “baked” into the medium.

Writing a c program to encode arbitrary numbers into a Game of Life program was a very fun distraction during an otherwise thorny project that involved connecting people from the print world to people from the electronics world while shaving a few thousand cycles off a crypto library with ECDSA P256 operations before the smart phone powering the chips via NFC turned off. Real engineering work to bring cryptographic proof of authenticity that unfortunately gets written off as a 'crypto scam' when the poc token attached to the circuit boards was the least interesting part.

One can see some of the denominations here:

Not the GP, but here is my website with photos with different aspect ratios. I used display:inline-block to achieve this result, effectively treating photos as text that needs to reflow.

https://yakubin.com/photography/album/kenya-2023/

Proper masonry layouts which fill all available space in practice actually crop some images. Leaving space around photos is required when you don’t want cropping and want to preserve aspect ratio. That’s why I prefer my solution over what JS libraries for masonry layouts do.

If you've seen one operate, they run incredibly fast with very precise stepper motor control. It's certainly not Linux at the lower level.

They always required a license to reenter. The change is that if you launch intending to reenter you need the reentery license before launch.

This is because Varda launched their reentry vehicle without a reentry license. Then once they tried to reenter the FAA balked because they had just assumed since the FAA had authorized their launch the reentry license was a given, which it isn’t. This led to Varda missing their window and scrambling to find a landing site for a while until they actually got their license and landed.

This seems like a need for another regulation - the existing regulations left things ambiguous for Varda and that wasn’t good.

Yeah kinetic energy, plus hazmat sometimes like hydrazine, plus maybe there's no control over its trajectory.

Also important for FAA, if it's a domestic landing, is they may need to create an ATC window to keep aircraft out of the area, which they need advance notice for.

So it's not all pointless regs, this is real, practical, coordination.
So... What's the hack?

If the weapons are not placed in Taiwan, there's no guarantee that the US would use them to defend Taiwan.

If the US formally makes such a guarantee, that in itself might trigger a nuclear war.

This is a game of chicken, and games of chicken are rather dangerous. Do you want your city nuked to save Taiwan? Does Xi want to risk having Shanghai and Beijing obliterated to maybe take Taiwan?

If there is an actual war over Taiwan, it's hopefully going to be a conventional one. But that would also mean China may risk it. Which would make TSMC production out of service for months or years (or forever).
We had traditional investors who were interested in taking that last $1M. The voting rights were also not a major factor. It really actually is that we want to enable folks in the community to have a stake in the company. This is something I wanted to do in earlier rounds but needed to avoid signaling risk around. We now have enough history of "real investors want to put money in Framework" that we can open up to community funding.
