I'm not sure this is obvious. For the consumer market, maybe. But at the end of the day, there are physical limits on how much compute you can squeeze into any given area. If your job requires more parallel compute than…
This is a nice anecdote, but it doesn’t mean anything. In the US at least, being raise by a single parent is a massive statistical indicator for basically every negative social outcome. Poverty, criminality, future…
This is basically the case for any digitally controlled effector/sensor. Need a serial bus to get data from some ADCs? An FPGA can do N buses in parallel. Need a PWM to control a motor? An FPGA can do N PWMs in…
Just spitballing here but it might have to do with the fact that materials that absorb light are more heat conductive than materials that are reflective. The SR71 was famously painted black as a mitigation for surface…
I’m generally skeptical of pharmaceutical weight loss solutions as a bandaid over the underlying problem, but for this statement to mean anything you’d have to compare it to traditional methods of weight loss. If you…
This is kind of weird because there’s a lot more data to suggest now that dietary fats are almost never the problem when it comes to obesity, and in fact dietary fats are really important for a lot of critical processes…
It's complicated. Reducing calorie intake is absolutely a path to weight loss, but we tend to ignore the adaptability of the body. If you suddenly reduce your caloric intake, the body thinks it's entering into a time of…
This is largely incorrect, and also not what the person you're replying too is saying. Calorie numbers in food are just a weighted sum of the grams of carbs, fats, and proteins in the food. Each of those groups are…

I agree with this and would even go as far as to say color E-INK screens are basically ready to push out greyscale ones right now. The problem is that no one is making a device with them that's any good. I owned one of…
Please stop. Doing this the first week ChatGPT was released was cute. Now it's so so tired.
Yeah that’s basically my point. The hype on HN/Twitter/etc. forget this.
This has been my experience. I’m really impressed by how well GPT-4 seems to be able to interpolate between problems heavily represented in the training data to create what feels like novelty, eg. Creating a combination…
Why would you start a company that is entirely dependent on a third party’s closed product, over which you have zero control? This just feels immensely risky.
Weird question, but if you encourage bees to come through these methods, how prevalent are they? I like the idea of doing this, but I also have a young child and am somewhat allergic to bee stings myself and wouldn't…
The f-22 is also the US fighter with the highest combat ceiling. I believe the actual number is still classified. The f22 took the shot on the balloon last week at 58 thousand feet, which is higher than many fighters…
International law’s got nothing to do with it. Basically Every spacefaring has made it their policy that an attack on one of their satellites would be treated as an act of war and everything would be on the table in…
I guess I misunderstood your point. I was thinking you were saying that you thought most people walking into a dealership and getting loans a on 30k+ new car could afford to pay cash instead. For the same car.
The numbers suggest this is false, for the US at least. The oft-repeated study comes into mind that 47% of Americans can't cover a surprise 500 dollar expense without it being a major worry. See also the fact that the…
The primary benefit of FPGAs is not to be an alternative type of computing hardware to cpus or gpus but to do things that neither of them are particularly good at. Mainly producing some output for some input or series…
Anecdotal obviously but I’m in the industry (I’m assuming you are as well from the nature of your comment) and I work with many current and former pilots and I think this characterization is a little unfair. Many…
Even if you could convince your management to downlevel you, you're not going to be able to stop juniors coming to you for help or product owners/managers from giving you tasking of a similar level to what they've come…
The performance of matlab/Python the traditional engineering world isn’t relevant though, its just for modeling/simulation, it never runs in live systems. It’s way cheaper to just buy a faster machine then to try and…
MATLAB is ubiquitous in the aerospace industry. There probably isn’t an aircraft or spcecraft built in the west in the last twenty years where matlab wasn’t used. The two big reasons are simulink and the availability of…
As a counterfactual to this, go on linkedin and type "sandia national labs" into the search bar and see how many results come up with people freely listing them as their employer. This isn't the movies, you're allowed…
