In Carrying the Fire, in pre Apollo days when they did manual burns for re-entry, this was described as a big worry (burn sending you off into space). But maybe that was mitigated
Seems like you are presenting a false choice. China has clearly stated its intention to compete and overtake the US as a core power. If the US is able to build and maintain strategic partnerships and military deterrence then that ascension of China would be less risky. I disagree with your whole premise of competition as “brutal suppression”. The most likely outcome of the trade war is that China will eventually have its own chip industries that are on par or more advanced then the US.
I’m not sure why you think Neanderthals were much more solitary. It sounds like tribe size was smaller than Sapiens but they originally had really wide distribution. It sounds like Sapiens out competed Neanderthals with tool use
From the article: Paul Cassell, a lawyer for victims’ family members, said he plans to ask the federal judge on the case to reject the deal and “simply set the matter for a public trial, so that all the facts surrounding the case will be aired in a fair and open forum before a jury.”
Seems like it would be better to go to trial even if they are not convinced the jury will convict. It's in the publics interest to have all the information out there instead of swept under the rug
Not in my experience. LLMs are nowhere near replacing a junior dev. Maybe you can have a junior dev fix their bug ridden garbage responses but that's not replacing them.
It's possible this may be true in some domains now, but not in any I work in
I haven’t seen that. My session persists with Tailscale when I’m roaming on my iPhone hotspot to the next day when I am on home WiFi. Only lost a few % overnight on my M1.
I feel for them. I've got a backup image of wife's parents macbook air and ipad that I've had to use a few times. I was using remote desktop software but they once clicked a fullscreen "Your Computer is Infected" ad and followed "Apple Support's" instructions to download a new RD app and give them full control. Luckily the give full control dialog got lost behind the web scam fullscreen. I got rid of remote desktop apps and told them to never allow remote desktop apps again. I've come to the conclusion that any sort of banking or account tied to money is too much of a risk.
Agreed. Intel has pulled some amazing rabbits out of their hat over the years when they fell behind. I want to believe. If they pull it off this will be an amazing reinvention. But we have to be honest the smart money is probably on Intel being fabless when 18A and 14A drags on and they need to rely on TSMC
This reminds me of the time when I built a battery stereo power amplifier and then only used it a few times because I didn’t want to risk burning the apartment complex down. It was fun building it though.
