They have an amazing track record for this as well. I buy m2 processors because I know they're great. I don't even bother trying to figure out a comparison to Intel chips any more. I've done semiconductor research and used to obsess about stuff like this.
Higher kinded types always remind me of regex. People think “I know, I’ll use HKT to solve this problem”. Now they have two problems.
These techniques can be way overkill for someone until they are dealing with an overwhelming amount of types to unify. It’ll seem like a terrible idea until that obstacle is encountered.
The problem with steel threads is that they take only a single path through a series of components. Rather than building something robust, you're more or less wearing a rut through the implementation strategy for a single service, and piling on use cases as you go. This is more or less how you end up with b2b "get 'er done" software, and you have to ask yourself if that's what you want.
I have to admit I'm somewhat impressed with the quality of the 2d puppetry I've seen in gaming recently (e.g. Marvel Snap, andy of the Gachas). It's a simpler technical skill than full 3d rigging that 2d illustrators seem to be able to be able to pick up fairly quickly.
The field this tool grew out of (mobile gaming) is such a grey ethical area, and these puppet animations are a fascinating form of pulp media.
Simple blue light LEDs created a residue on the surface of the lens like a cataract and kept them from being useful in panels and individual lights. The “invention” of the blue led was really just a slightly convoluted way of keeping the lens clear.
I did a version of this waaaaay back in the day. Naturally since Google was sooo cool back then I called it Google Goggles. Now of course they're not as warm and fuzzy.
These exercises are always half BS and half valuable insight that you can't even get from years of experience. It gets very hard to tell which is which though.
That's the wrong take, and here's why. Interdependent trade doesn't promote peace as much as it discourages outright war. Russia is beating on Ukraine, but it has crossed a field of knives to do it, and will bleed out very soon. Russia will be the example that everyone will point to when their leader starts rattling their sabers.
CyberPunk 2077 hits different if you live in Seattle. I'm not saying Seattle is as bad as a dystopian video game, but more of a point on the same line.
Files have some drawbacks... they're difficult for multiple people to work on together (slides). They're often not easy to organize, and they're often not available where you want them.
Ted Chiang has another interesting take on this, namely that perfect memory is often undesirable, and that the past often is molded to fit narratives about the present.
Queens are notable because they had immense power... and knew the score with gender bias and had the means to change minute details of the subjects' lives. However, they rarely changed cultural norms WRT gender. I'm thinking mainly of Cleopatra (and Nefertiti, even though she never held the highest title AFAICT). It may be because there are just bigger problems for leaders to solve.
Yeah I was thinking of gigantic industrial/factory floor surfaces, some types of malls, and/or large theme parks. I think the first successful fully autonomous driving platform will probably have this wheel/frame style as a base, and operate within the confines of some single entity's road/surface network.
Great ideas are great often due to a combination of a strong value proposition and a lack of competition, which you (eventually) cannot control for. Execution is the only thing firmly in your wheelhouse over the long run. VCs and other incumbents play this "long" game, but it's probably not the game that an individual founder should necessarily play to maximize their ROI.
Every time I'm doing a lift and shift, I'm glad I don't have to move an OS around on different chip architectures, maintaining performance speed. PowerPc to Intel, and now Intel to Arm. That's nuts.
