You've probably seen it, but you'd definitely love the movie "Hidden Figures". They do seem to get the adding machines more or less correct.
One of the interesting things about the movie was how well they conveyed the mood and atmosphere on subs. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but the sub force just has a different temperament than the surface…
It reads a bit like a verse from the song Time by Pink Floyd, which perfectly encapsulates the sense of existential dread that so many of us feel more and more often as we get older.
I don't think it's overly philosophical to point out that these are large language models, not truth engines or AGI or knowledge directories. They're not using logic to reason their way to an answer. They're just…
If you define being a kid as "the ability to express emotions and enjoy playing", then yes. I feel like that's a terrible definition, though.
There aren't many Microsoft products that seem to be genuinely good without many complications or drawbacks. Most of those products have the words "Visual" and "Studio" in the name. Atmel Studio can come too.
Being intelligent might correlate with a more liberal outlook, but I know a few highly intelligent people who are big fans of trump. My father was a nuclear reactor operator and electrician for a big chunk of his 22…
It can't stop him from running because prison doesn't disqualify a presidential candidate. IIRC, Eugene V. Debs ran from prison in 1920, and he got something like 5% of the vote... As a third party candidate. He was…
It also may be worth simply providing an outlet for people to make a comment so it doesn't intrude on usual business.
But not DRM content. The system will recognize and avoid screenshotting that. Banking details? Fine. Passwords? A-OK! Copyrighted content? STOP, YOU FOOLS, BEFORE YOU ANGER THE MOUSE! This whole thing is dystopian, but…
I could see the US pulling back on Israel if it starts to cost them soft power elsewhere, but you're fundamentally correct. Israel is the primary instrument of US hegemony in the middle east, and they aren't going to…
There may be a potential for more localized grids that are interconnected by HVDC transmission lines. I'm not sure what the impetus for that would be, however. I agree that it would be unlikely. Interestingly, HVDC…
I specifically said that because I DON'T want to discuss whether it's a good company or not.
I'll have to take your word on recent Lenovo laptops. It's been well over a decade since I got my Yoga 11. The hinge on that laptop was quite good. The keyboard sucked though. Perhaps they retained enough of the…
IBM sold its PC division to Lenovo in 2005, so your timeframe correlates with the laptop division no longer being part of IBM. Not that Lenovo is a bad company persay, but IBM was historically a company that focused on…
Aside from hardware prototyping, this seems to be the primary benefit of FPGAs. Much like if you assembled a system from glue logic, all of the operations in the pipeline and across the entire subsystem can happen…
Among other things, critical current in bulk ceramic superconductors depends on cross-sectional area, so while it seems reasonable to make a ribbon-like structure, the 3rd dimension does matter. You can't make it…
I feel like we're just describing a narrow bus bar.
Here I was thinking "zombie star" was another term for ANY stellar remnant like a white dwarf or neutron star.
Reader view on firefox also works.

Youtube is the worst with this behavior. Have you done a search on that website recently? There will be around 2-3 actual results, followed by shorts, followed by 2 more real results, then a "People also watched"…
