as someone who owns se 2020- 13 mini was my next planned upgrade (because of camera & like the colors).. when my current se dies or at least battery life decreases substantially that is.. which it doesn't! :D

.. because doing lock-free programming is least of problems when creating games.
imo all the "analogies" are authors imagination and will only distract him from understanding how brain really works.
ie. "software" without "machine" to run it on, is kind of a useless.
apparently 2 process per core is more efficient than 4.
Imo status for AGI is same for everyone at the moment- not much going anywhere... and more like "what is the AGI & why we need it at all?", BUT.. if someone in USA or anywhere else will understand / build one, it'll be copied in 1 month to 1 year by everyone else.. simple as that.
To me AGI is the pipe-dream coming from sci-fi books/movies, while ML has real advancements allowing to solve LOT's of real world problems already and that's being done in China, Europe and anywhere in the world... more like a "build warp drive" vs "build rocket to go to Mars".
just my $.02 on another USA superiorist nonsense. :/
Javelin costs (according to google) 178K and 78K for rocket, while T-14 tank $3.7M.. sounds like dime on a dollar. war is about cost & time to build something and it's clear that tanks loose here.
And it's super simple to train someone to launch a missile, while a tank crews needs to be trained WAY LONGER.
yes, terrifying for civilians, but ineffective for prepared adversary on a 21st century battlefield.
Imo tank battles as in 20th century will remain only as part of World of Tanks. Battleships are next as well... because hypersonic missiles.
Imo, from hw designers perspective C is a language as "high" as it goes, when for a software engineers it's often "as low as it goes".
code "generators" has been with us for a long time, yet they only "success" is that they are good at generating "boilerplate" which by definition is sign of bad programming.
to me the cabin episode sounds like a LSD trip gone bad and no proper, experienced sitter resulting in a traumatic experience.
As for me- I travelled quite a bit, completed a game project 5 years in a making, read some books, watched lot of movies, after last one of these "vacations" moved from permanent employment to freelance, to be able to have more time "in between". Not too positive on returning "pemanent" anymore. :D
I'd say- plan for it. Leave place for unexpected, but build a list of things you want to accomplish (for yourself, for your family, for people around you, ...), this way it'll feel more meaningful afterwards.
ps. afterwards You'll be same, but different, so it doesn't make much sense trying to hypothesize about that. Just do it! :D
ps. in CV you can always list it as a "gap year" & add some projects / hackatons you did during that time.
distributed blockchain = database in cloud
did databases in cloud "change the world"?
100%
did they change EVERYTHING?
depends who you ask! :D
+ if I had to bet, then I'd bet that modern submarines, smart mines & rockets can take out any carrier, ship or whatever, it's just that no one has done it yet for obvious reason of not starting a new WW. It's stealth & speed that gives an edge these days, instead of displaying big, slow chunks of metal in a middle of big swaths of water + even 1 "missed" rocket can make the any ship incapacitated or sunk.. & now imagine 100 hypersonic missiles launched as a swarm.
Imo carriers and ships in general are the "battleships of WW2" (considered supreme, failed miserably). Yes, still works against small countries, with limited capabilities and as a "display of power", yet practically I'd assume they'd be sunk during the first days of a REAL full scale conflict. One should never forget the level of technology during WW2 compared to these days.
ps. it's interesting that China is always considered agreesor, though it's the US that's been involved (directly & indirectly) in most of the wars of the 19th, 20th & 21st century + is the TOP1 seller of the weaponry in the world as of today.
Maybe let's get an Apple's response first on these issues? It's not these issues and implications are small, but shouting from very beginning is not a good way to start a reasonable discussion whether this is a beta feature or something apple now will include permanently and why.
Maybe it's just what Google wants- to test the water and this is more of a opening act and the real play is only ahead of us! ;)
Patenting API's imo is like patenting a rule set for a game (say like football). Imagine someone patenting rules for a football and afterwards it's allowed only to play the game if you are "licensed" by the patent holder.
anyways- the Googles defense team seems bland. Not sure whether they really understand the idea of what API is and what's it's purpose and that API's textual representation is absolutely non-essential.
