I look forward to memory optimizations in software design.

Indeed, a lot of people treat meeting a partner as a step on some planned self transformational journey, where they try and manifest "the new me" .. a recipe for misleading the other party.

Yet another example of capitalism eroding the social fabric.

Even "meeting at a bar" would usually have been among friend groups, not atomic individuals meeting in isolation.

Indeed, it seems modern dating is more about the interrelations between different personality disorders.

I do have a feeling that the social structures, and perhaps even biology, have evolved over centuries with alcohol present to grease the wheels. It can allow a higher baseline of introversion / neuroticism (which facilitates higher performance in some areas but worse socialising), with the ability to drink to boost the social aspect when needed. Chesterton's beer, in other words.

It'll be more like architecture than engineering, I think. Sketch out the building plan, context (physical and social) and desired usage.

Both can be true at the same time.

Understanding and feeling for what the machine is doing. Just like fitting together metal parts, or handling a car around a corner.

Surely there's a big selection bias here.

You see the people who are out and about in society, not the ones holed up in their caves.

Chernobyl was very much not "old", it was a more modern design than the PWRs which are built today. Chernobyl Unit 4 was also basically brand new, only 3 years old at the time of the disaster. The RBMK design dates from the 60s, whereas the PWR is from the 40s.

A shockingly high percentage of people don't want house prices to fall.

Nvidia also had a long-term vision from which they are clearly reaping the rewards.

They certainly tried!

Semiconductor fabs involve a lot of hazardous chemicals, process changes and high energy consumption. Exactly the kind of thing European regulations tend to deter or slow down. Which is somewhat fine if there is nowhere else to build it, but if other places are easier, well...

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

And also never sold any of it between then and now.

It's not effective on the large fraction of people who tune out due to the length.

Another hard-won lesson, no doubt.

The skill is in the fine tuning, probably.

Like a double negative.

It's a thing inherent to diffusion models I think, a kind of uniformity of content across the image.

Kind of like analogue TV. Sure it worked and was simple, but consumed some prime spectral real estate.

The other sort of network, ironically.

That's the essence of it, I suppose. Cheap walls of text.

Edit: although another quote comes to mind- "Quantity has a quality of its own."

I remember a company that sold or used bitcoin mining rigs as swimming pool heaters.

It's useful because if an issue is difficult, both levels can disavow responsibility.

That helps with dogfooding the VM experience, I suppose.

The other systems see less wear and tear as well ... Brakes don't get as hot, transmissions don't have clutches shedding material, and so on.

Always worth studying 1980s USSR.
