The I/O power consumption goes down very significantly when all the die-to-die interconnects have a small and well-defined capacitive loads.

And I suppose that having all heat sources right next/on top of each other forces you to spend design effort to lower power consumption ;)
> the primary issue is that the US still has people on it

This is hardly unique.

> In a democracy it should be the values of the country that should be represented not individuals

The world's oldest (Britain, Iceland) and largest (India, America) democracies have people on their currencies.

Democracies are a human institution. It's dangerous to forget that.
Pre-existing conditions, which as far as I'm aware, is a US-only concept. I'm happy to be corrected for that, though.
honestly this would be better with an AI model
I mean, that sounds like it'd be even better for high-density environments like apartments.
This is the most puzzling, and, apparently, puzzled, piece I've read today so far, and it's already twenty to nine a.m. Quote:

Nihombashi, a district of Tokyo, has long been spelled with “m,” instead of “n,” although the consonant is followed by “b.”

Apart from the punctuation following crazy American rules going really really wrong here, the sentence does not make any sense, at all. You'll see Nihonbashi like 9 out of 10 times on the street and on the maps. Nihombashi is a minority spelling; it is indeed truer to the sound of it as the moraic nasal (written ん as in にほんばし) is not an [n] but rather an "underspecified nasal closure" than can come out as [n], [m], [ŋ] or even a sound approaching [b] depending on the surrounding sounds and the speaker. But it's a usage only followed by a minority.

Now the article says the place name has long been spelled with "m" instead of "n"—not true—and remarks that that is "although" "n" is here followed by "b"—that's wrong, the "m" is used here because the nasal precedes "b", it is a case of retrograde assimilation.

Lastly the article tries to concoct a newsworthy soup out of a bit of thin air that escaped out of a bureaucracy concerned with its own relevance. Be it said that for decades nobody except some nerds, some die-hards, some spelling enthusiasts and unhappy people forced to obey a particular set of arcane rules set up after the war has been, in the past half-century, publicly written "Hukusima" or "zyûdô" in earnest. These are totally cromulent and systematic spellings when you know the system and they're true to the Japanese phonological system, but nobody uses them. The news here is that, maybe, in the future, even fewer people may be using them, and that those who ditched the rules that only applied to some government agencies anyway can now do so without breaking the rules.

On many occasions my baby has whacked the bottle out of my hand onto the floor. He can be quite strong. He also often grabs the bottle and yanks it quickly out of his mouth. When he's eating solid food in his high chair, he needs water with it. Sometimes we use a bottle, sometimes a sippy cup. The sippy cup generally ends up on the ground. Sometimes this is above a tile floor (a kitchen). Having the high chair above carpeting is not a great idea when it comes to cleaning up food that gets thrown around.

Most of the world's population has no concept of socialised heath insurance. Pre-existing or novel. Someone in a wheelchair, or who is blind or mute, is much better accomodated in America than in most of Europe. (In part because the former is richer.)

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing!

I usually take the opposite approach. My resolutions are usually a lot smaller, and their theme more practical. I don’t intend to stick with them all year, but I fully intend to make significant progress within a month, and thus set the course for the year.

Some examples from this year: improve my German, cook Indian food, travel with friends. For each of them I have already made a list of actionable first steps, and I have taken many of those steps.

I find a general theme to be both too broad and too narrow. I want many small things, not one big thing.
New Podcast Episode Featuring Prof. Haim Zvi Dotan
You know how sometimes you speak with people and you can sense they’ve figured out something in life and are so tuned into themselves it’s almost contagious?

Ronen Menipaz & I had the pleasure of speaking with Prof. Haim Zvi Dotan on our Real Life Superpowers Podcast.

You may have heard of him as the architect of the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge— the world's first, longest, and highest glass-bottom bridge.
Legally speaking, yes. Practically, I'd reject someone handing me uncut currency as change.
The most insulting case is that of the retroactively-adjusted OKR wording so that you can always meet 0.7+ scores.
Is there anyway to order new bills like this but cut? It doesn’t seem like banks are offering anything uncirculated nowadays.

>She says a lot of businesses stumbled in recent years by publicizing demographic targets. Intended to keep companies accountable to the numbers, the goals were easily misconstrued as reverse discrimination.

That isn't a misconstrual - except for the part where the term "reverse discrimination" is an invention of activists to mock their critics, not generally used by their critics unless they don't know any better. It's just discrimination. And if you are targeting a demographic ratio, rather than letting your applicants come in as they may and judging them fairly, you are definitionally discriminating.

And it is, or at least should be, more than just "legally risky" - if the law, and its underlying moral principle, were taken seriously rather than the legal system being swayed by the same specious arguments.

Vinted seems popular amongst people who never used eBay for buying and selling commodities like clothes. Is it any good for selling higher value specialist stuff like electronics, musical instruments etc?

Although, if the goal is to switch entirely off of plastic, I don't think modern glass baby bottles will do that, because the ones I've seen still use plastic caps.

BTW, we just bought some glass bottles (with plastic caps) today. We'll see how they go.

How do you quantify skill falsification?
Grain pests (worms, moths, etc.) are often in the packaged goods at the store, and once introduced to your home are all but impossible to exterminate.

Airtight jars will only contain the pests within a single jar, not avoid them entirely.

If you're buying grain in large quantities, you can freeze it (in batches if necessary) for a day or so, after which you can keep it in those airtight jars. Large-scale de-pesting can be done with dry ice (floods the container with CO2 gas, asphixiating pests.

US-domestic / EU-domestic goods are generally fairly reliably moth-free. I've had issues with imported products from elsewhere.
Yeah there’s two different subjects here. Retirement vs. nursing home, the second being a lot more expensive. Difference between a high and low cost county is important as well. Own a home, etc.

I find that hard to believe given the lack of public transport, lack of funding for widespread public facilities, lack of empathy from insurers, lack of governmental social safety nets for those who come under unexpected hard times.
Whenever I see VPN, I think: Is it tied to a government intelligence agency? Is it owned by a government intelligence agency? All your traffic is routed through a single, easily observable point. If I were an intelligence agency, I would have VPN services as a business, and I would constantly advertise aggressively how secure and private they are.

Yes, though it goes a bit further than just a blanket 'in the interest of the company'.

Sometimes it's that, sometimes it's in the interested of the shareholders, sometimes it's also in the interest of (some) customers, etc.
What I meant to be dependent on a single essential service that much with that much difficulty to overcome. Smells like lots of trust and hope (of things will stay as they are for long) put into the architecture. It is nice there is a workaround, and there is a will for workaround, in this situation for instance.

More sound than half the comments in this thread.
There are plenty of people who get their health insurance through their state's ACA healthcare marketplace or through HealthCare.gov if their state does not run its own ACA marketplace.

Some of those marketplaces do have competition. For example in the county Seattle is in there are 9 different insurance companies offering marketplace plans.

If lack of competition is the problem, should we expect to see less of those problems with insurance purchased on ACA marketplaces?

The US is so weird about its currency. The repeated attempts to get rid of the dollar bill (dollar coins, two-dollar bill, etc.) have all "failed".

I put "failed" in quotes, because all it requires is for the government to do it. Take the one-dollar bills out of circulation, no discussion, done. At this point, take the two-dollar bills (no one will notice) and the penny as well.

The little in the story that speaks about the author, is necessary as a vehicle to narrate the experience.

The crux of the story is sales, and how it worked. The core point was the dehumanization, as well as the people who are the most effective in this era.

Where I live companies are required to get my explicit consent before recording me and are also required to continue the call if the only reason they would not is that I didn't consent to being recorded.

It'd be a bit silly if not as where I live I can also request them to delete the recording immediately after the call ends. So yes many businesses operate like this.

When you go to a shop and talk to the person there for help with a previous purchase they aren't recording your interaction, why is it so surprising?

It's hard to judge without knowing. Yes, when something is rather routine (i.e. there are many examples, especially in similar formats) LLMs will almost always write this code with little to no issues. But outside that things get far harder to evaluate, especially without seeing it.

Remember: even Bill Gates had to fight for a decade or so to get his favourite car imported. And that was when he was the richest guy on the planet. Bloomberg and Romney lost their bids for the presidency against much poorer opponents with less support from the rich. You guys still have minimum wage laws on the books, too. Rent control and price controls ('anti-price gouging laws') are ever popular. To name just a few examples.

I don't think they make much of a difference on way or another. But you are right, that thanks to relatively freer markets, more and more people can enjoy the ignorance of bliss of not knowing what hunger feels like. That's how progress looks like.

Merkel was trying to mke her past actions sound more noble. The truth is that it was far closer to appeasement. The Minsk agreements were not in good faith not just because Russia repeatedly broke both of them (while pretending not to be a party to them of that the so called republics were not Russian puppets) but also because they also broke earlier agreements to respect Ukraine's independence and borders by invading in 2014.

Goodhart's law is an adage often stated as, "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".
If it's a one-off situation, as opposed to something that should be part of your long-term test cases? Then yes, using print-statements is fine. Everyone does it, this isn't (or shouldn't be) controversial.

Sometimes a series of print-statements are better for helping you understand exactly when and how a bug occurs. This is particularly true in situations where the debugger is difficult or impossible to use (e.g., multi-threading). Of course, in that situation, logging may be better, but that's just glorified printf.

To saturate 2.5Gbps in a single direction with WiFi 6/7 modulations with 2x2 MIMO (most phones, tables, laptops have 2 antennas), you need a (total) channel width of 200MHz, and that's for devices in the same room as the AP. If you want to saturate it with devices in the next room, you need closer to 240-300MHz, for example: using say you use MLO with 160MHz on 6GHz, 80MHz on 5GHz and 20MHz on 2.4GHz), totaling 260MHz.
