Eh. It's pretty typical in the States, and has been for a long time.

I've lived in a fair number of real, standalone, single-family homes over the last nearly half-century.

Out of all of them: Only two had either an antenna, or a provision for one.

One had a crusty old antenna in the attic, but it wasn't wired to anything. It worked once connected, but there was no remaining evidence of any coax or even twin-lead up there at the beginning.

The other one had a fairly unimpressive and old tip-up tower outside with no antenna. It took some welding at the top end to get it into a state where an antenna could be fitted -- someone had done some weird stuff to it previously that needed to be undone.

It's easy to assume that some other houses I've lived in had antennas at one point, and at least one even had evidence of having had a tower. But none of them did by the time I came to live in them.

(And yeah, it is somewhat unfortunate. Antennas are relatively inexpensive, and ATSC provides rather good quality if the signal is decent.

It's probably not going to get any better now that even the local cable company is proactively delivering their own TV services in-home via wifi to a small streaming box or a smart TV -- people will just remove whatever coax they might already have.)
No you are still right. The article says the new smaller homes average 2179 square feet.

Not only sprites, but also scrolling backgrounds! There is no question that those machines were much more suited for 2D games, at least until the 486 could brute force them.

On the other hand, the simple framebuffer of the VGA was much more flexible, and was the better approach for those early 3D games. Mode 13h for the win!
>The level of intrusion applied to protect a game seems over the top

I agree on a theoretical level, like, if it's my general purpose computer, then everything that runs on it should also answer to me, not other parties. This applies to anti-cheat, and also to DRM and other concepts like Trusted Computing and Secure Boot even, to a degree.

I don't see how one could prevent cheating, if one allows a software abstraction layer between the game, and the user. If a software is allowed to manipulate another software, then that other software cannot have proof that it's not being manipulated. On one hand, this is the beauty of computing, but on a practical level, this makes cheating in online games very easy and undetectable. So, because I like playing online, I made the compromise that somehow this level of intrusion is okay.

> We allow employees to exercise options up to 10 years after they leave instead of 90 days.

This always struck me as completely unethical. Your vested options are part of your pay; you should be able to exercise them years after leaving. I would never work for a startup that evaporates my vested options 90 days after leaving. That’s like clawing back cash comp, in my view.
SQLite has been the most used DB for quite a while, by orders of magnitude. It's in every browser, on every phone, lots of desktop apps, ....

Competition is what helps even more. The Sprint/T-Mobile merger should never have been allowed to happen. Mergers are never good for consumers, despite Chicago School propaganda that says otherwise.

Where would the stress come from? You get a paycheck and there is no personal downside except opportunity cost (and perhaps reputation). You don’t lose any money if your startup fails.
This is a bit simple, though, as it discounts the existence of competition. The best job security is other employers, and the best prices come from the existence of other providers.
I search for things I've written/published myself all the time. stuff really lives in the same place for more than a few months/years, and I forget where they were anyway, and often forget 90% of what's in it, so search is much faster at getting me there than trying to navigate the n+1th iteration of the website.
How is that legal and not considered self-dealing and unjust enrichment? If I was a minority common stock owner in a business I assume I would have standing to sue for damages if a majority owner or officer made my position materially worse while enriching themselves in such a manner? Are you sure such a right is typically granted? I mean even the gap between 409A valuations and preferred valuations, as well as a huge amount of precedent, give a different material value to preferred and common stock. Giving that right out of thin air in a sale by an insider is effectively theft from common holders and I have trouble believing what you’re saying as I’m not sure how that could be kosher, if perhaps infrequently litigated. But is it really standard like you make it sound? That would be a very dirty secret and I expect would and should lead to litigation.
I'm just going by the article linked here, isn't that what you can see? It says he attended the conference and wouldn't say who told him about it. Not sure how the YouTube links up to it unless either of those accounts is just wrong?

> Seems very cut and dry from the facts laid out in this very same article.

It's not quite that simple.

Qualcomm has a separate license from ARM that allows doing all the things they are currently doing with Nuvia IP. ARM claims that this license does not cover Nuvia IP, and that since Nuvia broke the terms of their license, all that IP needs to be destroyed. Qualcomm claims that they bought the IP separately from any license, and that they can just continue using it under the terms of their own license, and that no term in that license prevents Qualcomm from using the Nuvia IP under it.

The issue is at least murky enough that no court has granted ARM an injunction over it.

She was and remains a huge inspiration to many of us. I remember peering over her pages of "Transgender Success Stories" which chronicled trans people who led lives with some measure of success in the 90s and early 2000s. When I came out to my parents as a EE student and trans woman myself, her story was the one resource I made them read. To no avail, mind you, my father called me brainwashed and told me the journey I was on was the "Con Way". I didn't listen and although I never lived up to her professional achievements, my transition was very successful.
Co-Founder CTO for Automated Medical Analysis (Without Radiologists) / CAD-X
About PRMSE:
We are a young company on a mission: to create an automated analysis of lung cancer screening CT scans, breast cancer mammography, and breast MRI images. This automation enables screening to take place on a massive scale, around the globe.

Screening is required to catch any early signs of cancer as early as possible, as is commonly known. PRMSE: enables high-volume screening by building machine-vision algorithms and robust systems around them. PRMSE:’s solutions will be a cornerstone of global screening programs. Less than 5% of eligible high-risk people are being screened in the US. Most European countries are at the cusp of starting national programs and several have up-and-running programs. Several Asian countries have operational programs.

Automatic analysis is a bold goal! This requires bold, highly committed, and competent team members.

The CEO and founder is a serial entrepreneur having led two medical start-ups one of which is in Generative AI. He furthermore has a background in senior marketing roles at Philips Medical and GE Healthcare in digital radiology and CT.

PRMSE: is Netherlands-based. Our thinking is utterly global. The Company is in the pre-seed phase of investment.

About You - Machine Vision CTO and Entrepreneur
You have exited a successful start-up where your machine vision skills were put through its paces. You therefore bring a boatload of relevant experience. This will all be needed for you to be instrumental in making PRMSE realize its mission.
I draw the line on going pure portless. I would like to retain USB-C thank you very much.
Swift originally had untyped throws for the sole reason that typed throws in Java didn't work well and made it too hard to write libraries.

Swift is getting typed throws now because the untyped ones require memory allocation, and so aren't suitable for embedded programming.

I have not heard anything about ARM helping Nuvia in any way.

The legal complaint of ARM has been that the license they had granted to Nuvia was limited in scope, i.e. it allowed Nuvia to only design a core for server CPUs, so as soon as Nuvia has repurposed that core, the existing ARM license has been lawfully terminated.

Moreover, ARM has argued that even if the buyer of Nuvia, Qualcomm, has an ARM license for CPUs that can be used in laptops, this license is not applicable to the Nuvia cores, because a significant part of their design has already happened under the Nuvia license, so it has become illegal after that license had been terminated.

So ARM wants that Qualcomm should either buy a new, more expensive license, or destroy all the design work leading to the Nuvia cores and start a new cleanroom design of laptop cores, to be used perhaps in their 2029 laptop products.

Without access to the text of the secret contracts between ARM and Qualcomm and between ARM and Nuvia, it is impossible to decide which of the legal arguments of Qualcomm or of ARM are a complete BS.

Normally such contracts should have been unambiguous enough that such a legal fight should have never been possible, but it seems that at least one of the parties has concluded that it is possible to twist the meaning of the contracts according to their business interests.

In any case, conditioning a design license in function of the application domain seems abusive. What could be acceptable would be only a per-device royalty fee that is computed differently depending on the application domain.

Supermarkets and small malls might take over the charging locations as they already have plenty of parking space.

Only reason for gas stations to be a seperate type of shop is how expensive and dangeous it is to have a gasoline pipes to every parking space. This is easy and cheap to do for electricity.

To bring in more revenue many gas stations try to be a "bit of a supermarket" in addition to selling gas. With electricity it will likely go the other way around, so supermarkets will extend with selling electricity and there will less reason to have gas stations as a seperate business location.

I already see supermarkets here getting a few charging spaces, usually a bit in the back.
In the past it was called sloppiness, today less and less people seem to care.
No, Qualcomm had already acquired an arch license from ARM, they had one before the purchase. The issue is that the Nuvia arch license had extra terms that the Qualcomm one didn't. ARM claims that the IP created under the Nuvia license cannot be transferred to be under the Qualcomm license. Qualcomm contends that it can.

I'm actually more of an ARM person, simply because neither Intel nor AMD managed to get power efficiency under control, not even after Apple's M1 ripped the x86 world to shreds.

The problem is, the ARM world never got away from crappy BSPs or managed to get any kind of standardization. Anyone reasonably skilled can get at least a basic "hello world" running that uses BIOS routines to draw characters on a screen and it will work on any x86 compliant machine, no matter its age - there is no equivalent that will work on ARM devices. None at all. Every tiny device, from embedded gadgets to full blown phones, has to have its own kernel build. What a mess that is.

Exactly. As a cis man the closest I have experienced was being mistaken for a girl (both as a kid and later when I had long hair) and getting cat-called or receiving unwanted sexual comments from strangers.

Those situations were rapidly defused when the people in question realized I was male (although as an adult I was genuinely worried it might result in violence if I didn't also ensure they understood I was straight) but I can't imagine what it would be like when most people wouldn't and would insist I'm a gender I'm not. Especially if my body also unhelpfully changed through hormone washes in ways that contradict my gender identity.
The new ARM laptops are looking very promising: similar to the new ARM macbooks. So PC tech enthusiasts/media are gonna be on Qualcomm's side here, at least while it's framed as 'ARM is trying to stop these from actually being sold'.

You're assuming someone is actually thinking about these design changes. Constantly changing things around based on detailed telemetry is effectively doing backpropagation by hand - the result doesn't need to make any sense, it only has to improve the metrics with each change.

Qualcomm certainly have some interest in RISC-V, in fact there's a bit of a rift in the ecosystem in part because they are on one side in terms of how the design should go. But that means it's still very early days in terms of anything at the complexity/performance level of these cores being manufactured.

No, Qualcomm bought a company because they developed a core that’s better than anything ARM or Qualcomm had in it’s portfolio.
If I had to guess, Qualcomm negotiated their architectural license before revealing their acquisition of nuvia.

And maybe the nuvia license gives more favorable royalties than the Qualcomm one?

Not just that: people learn mathematics mainly by _thinking over and solving problems_, not by memorising solutions to problems. During my mathematics education I had to practice solving a lot of problems dissimilar what I had seen before. Even in the theory part, a lot of it was actually about filling in details in proofs and arguments, and reformulating challenging steps (by words or drawings). My notes on top of a mathematical textbook are much more than the text itself.

People think that knowledge lies in the texts themselves; it does not, it lies in what these texts relate to and the processes that they are part of, a lot of which are out in the real world and in our interactions. The original article is spot on that there is no AGI pathway in the current research direction. But there are huge incentives for ignoring this.
