Here's what ST says[1]:

The very high electron mobility of GaN material allows devices with very low on-resistance and exceptionally high switching frequencies, which are key advantages in the design of next generation power systems, especially those for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications.

Regarding the band gap[2]:

It has a wide bandgap of 3.4 eV and an electron mobility of 1,700 cm2/Vs. Comparatively, Silicon sits at 1.1 eV and 1,400 cm2/Vs. GaN’s inherent properties thus result in a higher breakdown voltage and lower on-state resistance, which means that the component can more efficiently handle greater loads compared to a similar-sized silicon device, which then leads to a lower bill of materials.

Isn't the memory in the Surface Laptop 7 (and presumably other comparable Qualcomm/x86 laptops) quite a bit faster?

Of course MS overcharges on upgrades as well... because they can. Can it really have anything to do with cost, though? I wouldn't be surprised that the slotted RAM in laptops that support it and which Lenovo/Dell/etc. sell pretty cheap ir as or more expensive than the "Apple Magic Unified Max Marketing RAM" wholesale?

It depends on the language and problem space, but I agree in general. Rewriting a recursive algorithm to be iterative is better done at an early stage of a program, or start iteration to begin with, because it gets increasingly difficult as the program grows in size and complexity. It's too late to think about if/when the stack blows, so better think about it before/as you write the logic.
I reckon a user might expect to see 100 up/1 down ranking higher than 1000 up/1000 down
You aim for no current to ever flow through the diode. Any time current might flow through the diode, you should either switch on the transistor (so the same current flows through the channel), or switch some other transistor in your circuit to block the current (ie. a series transistor with source and drain switched).
Right, give it a few days and the domain will change.

Real estate is special because of multiple federal government and state government policies limiting (subsidizing) borrowers’ risk, allowing borrowers to lever without commensurate increases in risk.

The federal government taxpayers (especially future ones) provide enormous subsidies in the way of 30 year fixed rate loans with no prepayment penalty, and no risk of having the loan be called. Many state governments make home mortgages non recourse as well. And then there’s the federal 1031 tax exchange benefit. And there are county/state limits on property tax increases, like California’s famous prop 13.
I am surprised by how different it looks from the ISS. By comparison, the Chinese space station looks much cleaner, with a strong sense of up and down. When you look at the ISS, it is clear that it is out of this world, here, it looks like a research station that could have been on Earth.

From a quick visit to his profile (linked website), he is a physicist. This technology setup is very complicated and against the eternal usage of blackboard in a typical physics department. And to be honest this applies to his suggestion as well but you still at least get the feeling on writing on a board.
I disagree. Tech companies need tech leadership, and Ballmer didn't have the chops for that, or imagination either. He got some deals done, I'm sure.

How so? Missed mobile after working on it for a decade+ previously. Despite developers⁴ they didn't implement a decent terminal until a few years ago, thirty years late. Enough said.

It's probably better for the industry Ballmer was mediocre or worse. I'm often forced to do business with Microsoft already. His horrible deal to buy Yahoo would have improved the playing field further.
False. See generally the state actor doctrine. Courts have ruled extensively in the context of criminal investigations and FedEx; railroads and drug testing; NCMEC and CSAM hashes; and informant hackers and criminal prosecution.

I think the social element is one of the roots of the problem.

Basically, people don't understand privacy, and don't see what
is going on, so they don't care about it. Additionally, most
privacy intrusions are carefully combined with some reward or
convenience, and that becomes the status quo.

This leads to the people who stand up to this being ridiculed
as tinfoil hat types, or ignored as nonconformist.

everything after that is just a matter of time.

Here's one source on Python very obviously not matching Node.js's perf on a simple microbenchmark: https://jott.live/markdown/nodejs_vs_python_

CPython really is inherently less performant than V8. CPython, until very recently, didn't have a JIT at all. It compiles scripts to bytecode, then runs the bytecode in a giant case statement. It doesn't have a tracing profiler-guided optimizer or an exotic garbage collector. CPython is way, way simpler than V8, but it's consequently slower. It's just the consequence of Google putting centuries of developer-years into an engine.

You can't just claim Python is fast because Python's C libraries are fast. Those libraries are fast despite Python. Torch is extremely fast, but it's fast from C and Lua too. There's valid reasons to want to compute in your programming language. Python is, ironically, probably popular because its slow speed encouraged users to write blazing fast C libraries rather than even try writing native Python, vs. settling for middling performance as in Java or .NET.

I shouldn't have to get out my hammer and tongs when NumPy doesn't implement the operator I need. Why can't Python be fast like Julia?

Does this mean that when the geodesic is a straight line then the particle stays on the geodesic, but when the geodesic is curved the particle interacts with its own e.m. field and deviates from the geodesic because it feels a deflecting force?

Then there would be a fundamental difference between curved and straight geodesics which would be a contradiction to the Einstein Equivalence Principle. How do physicists explain that contradiction?
Mechanistically, replacing saturated fats with PUFA reduces the amount of arachidonic acid in cell membranes which dampens excessive inflammatory cell signalling. Here's how that works. "Because arachidonic acid (AA) competes with EPA and DHA as well as with LA, ALA and oleic acid for incorporation in membrane lipids at the same positions, all these fatty acids are important for controlling the AA concentration in membrane lipids, which in turn determines how much AA can be liberated and become available for prostaglandin biosynthesis following phospholipase activation. Thus, the best strategy for dampening prostanoid overproduction in disease situations would be to reduce the intake of AA, or reduce the intake of AA at the same time as the total intake of competing fatty acids (including oleic acid) is enhanced, rather than enhancing intakes of EPA and DHA only. Enhancement of membrane concentrations of EPA and DHA will not be as efficient as a similar decrease in the AA concentration for avoiding prostanoid overproduction." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2875212/
The same authors also noted that "The degree of fatty acid unsaturation of mitochondrial membrane lipids has been found to be one of those biochemical parameters that are most strongly correlated with longevity, when different species of mammals and birds are compared, with a low degree of fatty unsaturation being correlated with less lipid peroxidation and a longer normal life-span."
So, mechanistically speaking, replacing saturated fatty acids with PUFAs will dampen inflammatory cell signalling. However, replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated fatty acids will do the same thing without risk of peroxidative damage to cells. Excerpt: "Fatty acid composition in the Western diet has shifted from saturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and specifically to linoleic acid (LA, 18:2), which has gradually increased in the diet over the past 50 y to become the most abundant dietary fatty acid in human adipose tissue. PUFA-derived oxylipins regulate a variety of biological functions. The cytochrome P450 (CYP450)–formed epoxy fatty acid metabolites of LA (EpOMEs) are hydrolyzed by the soluble epoxide hydrolase enzyme (sEH) to dihydroxyoctadecenoic acids (DiHOMEs). DiHOMEs are considered cardioprotective at low concentrations but at higher levels have been implicated as vascular permeability and cytotoxic agents and are associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome in severe COVID-19 patients." https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2120691119
More info in COVID-19 risk: "Separately, on analyzing global COVID-19 mortality data and comparing it with 12 risk factors for mortality, they found unsaturated fat intake to be associated with increased mortality. This was based on the dietary fat patterns of 61 countries in the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization database. Surprisingly, they found saturated fats to be protective." https://www.medpagetoday.com/reading-room/aga/lower-gi/86940

Your photo still looks spooky to me.
We just went back to one. For a number of years we let a phone do this job.

Then on one super rough day, both my wife and I were just drained! We hit the bed and were gone, snoozing hard.

Well, neither of us managed to have a phone charged well enough to wake us up and so we just didn't! Kid late for school, late for work, late, late... total pig of a day.

I picked up a $10 clock almost exactly the same as our old one, which did not survive our last move.

Now it has a fresh 9V battery and is set a bit behind the phones. It is the backup.

And we both kind of like having it again. We get a time display at a glance and it does wake us up nicely without being brutal.

No he wasn’t haha. The only thing he did was slide the company sideways via pre existing illegal monopoly. In fact, they lost most of their monopoly under his supervision .

In a normal functioning democracy I would tend to agree, however, in this case the washington post itself has documented over 30.000 falsehoods claimed by Trump: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claim...

For this reason alone they have a good logical reason to endorse Harris.

Also, in this day and age it's impossible to be politically neutral. Especially the extreme-right makes such absurd claims that any serious paper would not publish them because they're simply untrue. This automatically pushes them into the other camp.

Anyway I think it's very poor showing that they caved to pressure from Bezos, however it's pretty clear which way the Washington Post leans. They don't need to endorse a candidate because we already know their opinion (especially in light of the list they have made above).

> On the other hand, if everyone had access to this capability then society and civilization would grind to a halt.

On the contrary, everyone does use this capability. It is what makes the concept of "retirement" possible.

You borrow money when you are young and do not have much of value to contribute to society (for education, for purchasing a home, maybe for starting other ventures), you earn money during your productive years to pay those loans back and accumulate wealth (in personal or government retirement accounts, in Social Security or other government plans, in a pension), and at some point you are able to invest or lend or that money to others (or have others do so for you in the case of things like pension funds) and live off of the return, hopefully before you become so infirm you are no longer able to work.

I hope we can agree that allowing people to retire before they die is a net benefit to society. Claiming anyone can do that while they are still young with no risk is where you should start to get suspicious. Why should it be easy to get rich?
