maurimo··on Microsoft, Google join study to see if AI will affect jobs
Need to start enabling a pre-filtering of unbearably silly titles.

This title raising the question of whether an elephant in a porcelain shop could possibly affect the porcelains.

maurimo··on EE is working with Qualcomm to add Wi-Fi 7 to consumer broadband hubs
EE user in the UK here. Instead of working for Wifi 7 could you please remove roaming charges in the EU, that EE suddenly reintroduced after brexit? You're telling us our future will have Wifi 7 but also roaming charges when I travel to the EU?
maurimo··on Who is guaranteeing Russia's foreign currency reserves?
Thanks a lot for the answer! I feel this is a vulnerability on Western side: essentially we are unable to prevent Russia from benefiting of/using our financial/judicial structure while Russia is directly waging war to a democratic country.
maurimo··on New Cobalt-free Li-ion battery reduces costs with similar design and performance
Calle 13, Latino America! One of my favourite songs!
maurimo··on The percentage of Americans who are employed has fallen from 61 to 51
Very interesting comment. That being the case, the biggest fallacy is the ability of challenging the authority, as long as the US politics are protected by US sovereignty (even if they involve and affect the rest of the world).
maurimo··on Starbucks, monetary superpower
I keep wondering why people buy Amazon/Netflix Gift cards. Great, you converted 50$ into 50$ that can only be used on Amazon, and people may end up not using at all. This is also financing with negative interest rate.
maurimo··on Insects feel persistent pain after injury, evidence suggests
Isn't the most painful instruction a conditional jump? Especially when the CPU had preloaded the following instructions and realizes it has to abruptly branch somewhere else. If there is a mechanism of pain in the CPU it should be triggered by this unpredicted waste of power and time.
