Synaesthesia

They're actually cheaper than NMC and are the dominant chemistry.

If you're in a power outage with solar and a battery you are so much better off than without that.

I've been running the beta on my machines. Definitely a huge upgrade over Tahoe. Visually and performance-wise.

He also made some music which is very interesting and weird sounding.

You need fossil fuels as feedstock for your chemical industry.

And obviously energy too, until Europe completely electrifies .

So it's quite a big deal when gas goes from being cheap and reliable to expensive and unreliable.

I don't get why people sometimes talk as if it's just large corporations that contributed to emissions.

It all makes a difference. There's no doubt that individual consumption contributes a lot to global emissions. Like large houses that use a lot of material, cement etc and cost a lot to heat and cool.

And those large corporations exist to serve customers. It's not like we could simply get rid of them.

But we obviously need to also look at the ways that we can work together to save emissions where possible.

Not to mention GPU performance, which has also steadily improved.

The A20 Pro has about the same GPU performance as an M1 Pro, according to the Metal GPU benchmark. Very impressive.

Would be great if either party cared about issues which affect ordinary Americans. But they're extraordinarily alienated from the population.

It's also part of the US national policy to prefer fossil fuels and oil. The US has become the world's largest petrostate.

Advertising is propaganda. And it uses emotions to elicit people to respond in certain ways.

The ad industry likes to say that they're in the business of informing people so they can make better decisions. Whereas they make sure you're uninformed so you can make worse decisions.

There have been studied and experiments with UBI which contradict what you say.

The processor is great and so is the camera.

The phone I bought from China eats Apple hardware for breakfast. It's got IP69 protection, only 7mm thick, a massive battery that charges incredibly quickly (4800mah). It's basically like an iPhone air but it only cost me about $500 (Motorola X70 Air)

When Apple embraces Silicon Carbide batteries I'm sure they're going to make amazing stuff.

It's not like they haven't impressed on the hardware side. If you look at something like the M4 iPad Pro which was released 2 years ago, there is no competition even close. Nor with their laptops.

Fascism is literally the union of corporations and the state. So why would a CEO stand up against it?

Only the people will stand up against fascism, in a mass movement for freedom and democracy.

It's not about their race. Plenty of Asian people in Silicon Valley. Or even their personal beliefs. It's about the interests of shareholders, which they have to (by law!) satify. That means making profit.

Terrorism has to include violence, by my definition at least.

It's in the name. Terrifying people into compliance. Well that isn't the case here.

IMO there is overinvestment in compute and this will turn out to be a bubble.

But all of the money was anyway just lying around doing nothing. An enormous amount of capital has been building since the 80's thanks to corporate profits. A small sector of the population is so rich they don't know what to do with their capital.

People think immigrants come to just take. When they can contribute to the economy.

There's no reason why we should worship borders, or the state.

Xiaomi and other Chinese manufacturers are ahead of Samsung, Apple etc. They have superior cameras, battery technology and the best, latest SOC's.

It's very important. Every time you launch an app or open a file it's critical for performance. Also when memory runs out and the OS swaps to disk it makes a huge difference.

Incredible website. Really one of the dreams of the internet realised, the ability to access all knowledge at your fingertips.

At the same time hundreds of thousands of children die annually from diseases which would cost pennies to treat. From starvation.

The world is still a horrible place for many people, and there's no real reason why it has to be that way.

Because it's never been observed.

They were a part of computer graphics for a long time before that, 2D and 3D.

The performance and stability with lots of tabs is actually outstanding.

It's quite striking to note how media coverage of climate change and pollution have gone down so much. I remember in the 90's it was very much in the popular mileu.

What's more we are living through an actual green revolution. Solar power and batteries have never been so cheap - and still promising to get cheaper and better with sodium ion batteries.

Einstein did a lot, he not only published the special and general theories of relativity, he also contributed to quantum physics and was the first to deduce the size of an atom using statistical arguments, essentially proving the existence of atoms.

One measure of democracy is how much say you have in issues which affect you, the running of your neighborhood, your government etc.

If you look at decision making at high levels, the general population usually gets ignored. Instead, powerful special interests dominate the government.

Particularly with regard to foreign affairs of the USA, the oil lobby and weapons manufacturers. And look who's benefiting from the current state of affairs in Ukraine, Iran and Venezuela: US arms manufacturers and oil companies.

On the other hand in many ways people in the USA are extroardinarly free, there's pretty good protection of freedom of speech.

Remember that Chatgpt and other LLM's don't think. They just return the most likely next word based on a statistical model.
