A black friend of mine did exactly this, asked for a permission to get a pen from his pocket. The cop laughed “sure” and the moment he put his hand inside his pocket they jumped him and arrested him.
It’s effectively the company saying that they believe the shareholders can get a better return by investing that money elsewhere. So when a company starts doing major buybacks it’s a signal that they have reached an…
You can thank Microsoft for that. Intel architects in fact did not want to waste area on an NPU. That caused Microsoft to launch their AI-whatever branded PCs with Qualcomm who were happy to throw in whatever Microsoft…
> we have to be honest that there is no unquestionable source of meaning in life Think about what you would like to remain in the world after you are gone. Then think how you can connect with and advance those things,…
In the automotive industry, pretty much the whole point of standards like cybersecurity (ISO21434) and functional safety (ISO26262) is to let the manufacturer claim in court that they followed “modern best practices”…
It is really incredible how Apple has obviously broken and buggy UX in many primary use cases on their devices, and fail to fix it for generations. The iPad is particularly bad in this respect. For a decade it would not…
The Human Brain Project comes to mind.
Following the definition from the article, armed forces seems like a complicated system, not a complex one. There is a structured, repeatable solution for armed forces. It does not exhibit the hallmark characteristics…
The article is about persuading your peers and your management to get what you need, not about persuading your direct reports to do their tasks.
It was a life-defining piece of software for me too. As a teenager I found a server called “REALbasic Cafe” that inspired and helped me go from knowing next to nothing about programming to making my first money from…
As someone frustrated in a team of 10+ that is struggling to ship even seemingly trivial things due to processes and overheads and inefficiencies, I would really appreciate some insights on how do you organize the work…
They mentioned during the presentation that they need the new display controller on the M4 to drive the new dual panel display.
HotBits is my earliest memory from the Internet after getting access as a young kid around 1996. Back in those days computer magazines would print website reviews and links, and I found HotBits in one of those. It was…
Let me give a concrete example: I have had iPad Pro for years now. A primary use case for me is to watch a lecture and take notes, or read a book and take notes. The way this should obviously work is that I have my iPad…

In automotive, the key feature offered by QNX is safety certification. This does not (and cannot) offer it, so it is not a potential replacement.

Physical gold is also tax free after a year in Germany.
The VPN exit point for the big tech company I work in Europe for seems to be in Poland for whatever reason. I had to switch to duckduckgo to not be served search results in Polish all the time.
I just completed a successful job search, including landing a great senior level IC role at a large tech company. I do not have LinkedIn (or GitHub etc.). Based on what I've read and heard from hiring managers, I…
This brought back memories. The first money I ever made from software as a teenager was through Kagi. It was some Mac utility shareware apps written in REALbasic around the year 2000.
By Litte's Law, the arrival rate to the waiting room (l) is equal to the number of customers in the waiting room (L) divided by the amount of time a customer spends in the waiting room (W), ie., l = L/W. If the arrival…
There are also legal and privacy concerns. I've worked on a few research papers where exactly one researcher had access to the data under a very strict NDA. And even they did not get full access to the raw data, only…
Actually it's 25. Around that time your neuroplasticity changes and it becomes a lot harder to learn new things. You still can, but it takes much more effort and deliberate protocols to follow. Prof. Andrew Huberman…
I would add a word of warning here. In the multiple research groups that I've worked in, the completion rate for industrial PhD students has been way less than 50%. The industry part (whether 20% or 50%) easily ends up…
