I like Monzo as a bank, I think what they are doing is pretty cool.

But it all stills very amateur-ish, especially for a bank. Something as simple as being able to generate a proof of payment receipt for a bank transfer, why is this not possible? It feels incredibly unprofessional to send a screenshot of a mobile app to a company because your bank doesn't allow you to properly export a PDF for one single transaction.
If, like me, you are interested in CPUs but not keeping up with the latest news you might wonder what the significance of this is. The linked article doesn't really give any context.

This earlier article is, I think, better for a more general audience:

The summary is that this is a laptop class CPU. Samsung are currently shipping it in the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (the X Elite configuration). This is a new market for Qualcomm, who are mainly known for mobile device CPUs.

I don't personally believe it's ever been true that users want the same UI styling across apps. When given the option to customize the colors or layout of an app, users will do that. People want their applications to follow common UI patterns, but applications should have some kind of personality to them, otherwise they just look like Microsoft or Apple products

Drilling has to be extremely cheap and the geothermal heat extremely high to be economical, which is why it makes sense in iceland but not mainstream.

Drilling and putting a nuclear reactor underground, much shallower than the deepest coal mines, can be quite expensive and still be cheap as a part of the total cost of the nuclear power station?
There's a pretty clear distinction between the following scenarios:

- A work of art contains political and social messages, not in the least because it's impossible for any author to wholly avoid coloring their work with political or social viewpoints. The author's experience and ideas do not exist in a vacuum, and will necessarily be a product of their time and environment.

vs.

- A work of art was primarily conceived to push specific political messages, and the actual "art" takes a clear back seat to the specific moral, political, or social messages being conveyed.

vs.

- A work of art cannot get funding unless it bends the knee to an outside group of ideologues who modify the work of art so that it specially conforms to the "correct" social values.
If you mess with my chocolate, I will _cut_ you.

> A former marketing employee at Nvidia told Bloomberg News that she would often attend up to 10 meetings per day — each of them involving more than 30 people.

> The meetings would be characterized by shouting and fighting, but employees put up with it because of the “golden handcuffs,” according to the ex-staffer.

I feel like the more important question is not the hours worked but whether these meetings useful and constructive? If not, maybe these employees could provide more value to the company and have a better work/life balance? My understanding is that generally places (including not just companies, but countries) where the expected hours are really long, much of that time spent is not productive.

I am sure companies design their entire OS based on that...
Yes. GrapheneOS can't support NFC payments because Google won't certify the OS nor does it provide any avenue for getting certified / "approved."

I can see how this could be a deal breaker for some.

Speaking only for myself, personally, I'm 42 years-old and have been a very slow adopter of smart phones in general. GrapheneOS let me feel like it's finally my phone and I've started using it more. Mostly as an mp3 player while exercising, and I've got an open source password manager that I've started using a lot. But I've never been comfortable with the idea of my phone replacing my wallet. I mean, sure it can do everything that my wallet can do but it's also susceptible to malware or attack and if I lose it then not only do I lose all of the data on my phone but I lose access to my identification and payment methods as well? That is a terrifying prospect to me. I don't like the idea of single points of failure. Losing my wallet would ruin my day. Losing my phone would suck but nothing catastrophic would happen. For most people losing both would be a nightmare scenario.

But I don't even do online banking on my phone. I probably could. I choose not to.

Investors are certainly not happy with stock dilution through the options.

Its also a make or break period for generative AI. If I was at Nvidia and owned stock options, I'd certainly give it my all to ensure Nvidia can make hay while the sun shines.

15 FPS is also irrelevant. Gaming GPUs are going to be dominated by raytracing power for the future, once you go raytracing you can't go back.
Question for somebody who doesn't work in chips: what does a software engineer has to do differently when targeting software for RISC5?

The article mentions 76 cm width for the reactor they're designing, and oil wells can be up to a meter wide[0], so that price estimate would probably be similar then.

I like the idea but I think its in the wrong place.

They're kind of like contract statements for preconditions/invariants but at the design layer, enforced at compile / run time.

I think this is useful for architect types, though I think this belongs more around the DependencyInjection config area.

A class should not be aware of what uses it.

But! What's not apparent until you read the article is that the planned reactor is .. 76cm across. That is, it's designed to fit down an oil well. Effectively you get "artificial high temperature geothermal", a hot object buried deep underground that you circulate water past.
> Distorting markets usually destroys them

These markets are already destroyed and have been by corporations.

America doesn't have an economy. Well, not really. We don't make anything. We used to, when we had a manufacturing industry, but they all left and now stuff is made somewhere else and shipped here.

Same thing happened with automobiles and will only get worse when the inevitably better Chinese cars come in.

But, at least, we had computer. Except now we lose that too.

Look, the US is currently only propped up on invisible money and greed. What we do it make someone else do the work, and then turn around and sell it for 10x more, and pocket the difference. We justify it with having busy bodies in suits sitting around "creating value" or something. Tada! Highest GDP in the world.

It's only a matter of time before these countries, like Taiwan, China, Bangladesh, India, wisen up and realize what's going on. Soon, they're gonna put two and two together and realize THEY are the US economy. They make everything. They have all the capital. They have the means of production. We don't.

We're on thin ice. If we let more US industries die off to be replaced by manufacturing in other countries, we won't have anything left. In my opinion, the situation is unsustainable. I don't know how much longer we have, and I think the consequences will be more severe than anyone is imagining.
Lots of tradesmen will go "up north" into the oil fields for some hard hard labour but with incredible pay.

Most do it once or twice in their life for a couple years and come back to normal relaxed day job (although some are absolute champions and will tough it out long term).

If this is supposed to be general advice about libraries... does this mean wrap all libraries? Does not sound like a good idea to me.

Is already happening for over a year. PV sales is down by 90%, last year there was a sellout of PV companies on brookz.nl and this year they are going mostly bankrupt.

Consumers are now having a PV problem because they have to pay for their panels (I was asked to pay 800 euro per year). So, there is the incentive for many consumers willing to purchase a battery.

An alternative solution is the position of the panels. It is useless to have panels facing south, and don't use the roof, use the facade to improve the off season performance.

> Gaming is probably the most diverse pastime on the planet.

Yes and no, it really wasn't that long ago that Dragon Age had their whole "straight male gamer" controversy because someone was upset at it having diversity.

LGBT representation is a lot better now but that is really only a recent change.

Non sexualized female representation has been lacking for a long time. Even look at Horizon, and you could find people complaining that in Forbidden West they made her face a bit fuller.

It is very easy (just look at this thread) to find people complaining about the idea of "politics" or diversity in gaming and who represents it. Anytime a female character in a sequel gets a less skin tight or revealing outfit it's "politics".

Yes there is a lot of diversity in the gaming audience and who makes the games. A lot of that is more in the open today. But it has not always been like that and for a long time it was largely associated with being straight and male.

Just look at comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41367392 and tell me that the gaming community is just fine. I fully acknowledge that those opinions are likely in the minority, but we see it a lot. I mean Xbox Live had a reputation (and still has) of being very homophobic in the Halo 2 and 3 days.

I fully agree with this article by the way. Got my brother on Matrix and it was pain (he lost access quickly).

I do woodworking in some shop space I rent in northern Minneapolis. The building complex used to be a General Mills research laboratory from about the 20s through the 50s. Reportedly, Cheerios were invented there. At the time it was a relatively rural area, so how do you dispose of your research chemicals? Dump 'em in a pit out back!

Now, it's a fairly densely populated urban neighborhood. It was declared a superfund site in the 80s, and they're still monitoring the site and working on nearby properties for remediation, decades later. https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/hazar...

The ideas and conclusions remind me of OpenBSD’s pledge too. They privilege separate a lot of their in house software so the a bit that talks to the internet is separated as much as possible from the bit that does parsing, for example. But that was a just best practice they tried to follow with no way of enforcing it. Once pledge was created they found violations as programs started being killed for using disallowed syscalls. For their use capability based security enhanced and proved something they did already just informally.

> But if there was a drug that easily cured covid, it would be obvious because it would easily cure covid.

And that could explain why a lot of people believed ivermectin works: they had covid, they took ivermectin, they got better. They don't see the alternate universe where they didn't take it and they also got better, because that's what happens most of the time.

I'm convinced this is why so many other people think the vaccine was a miracle. We were being blasted with the idea that covid was a death sentence, so if you had a plain old mild case (like most cases were), it had to be because of some intervention (ivermectin or the shots or the phase of the moon).

I think this is true for most of the shit the medical industry tries to push on you, but I'm a kook and I know it.
