>"Pragmatically, do I think it makes sense that they're completely separated and there's no tie?" Holthaus said of the company's product and manufacturing divisions. "I don't think so. But someone will decide that."
The "Co-CEOs" are already inspiring confidence with their vision, decisiveness, and accountability.
Correct, but if a decade ago was the right time to do it, then 2020 was the second best, and now is the third best.
>Gelsinger’s plan was to become a foundry, with Intel as its first-best customer.
The only real alternative to this is to split Intel into two companies - a Foundry and a Products company - and effectively achieve the same thing via contracts rather than ownership.
I have a feeling that in 18-24 months we're going to be reading articles about how the best time to split the company was 2 years ago and now it's too late.
That's an EXTRAORDINARY claim and one that contradicts the experience of pretty much all other research and development in quantum error correction over the course of the history of quantum computing.

GPT-3.5 with the ChatGPT front end was just such a massive improvement over everything that came before it, then 4 months later they release GPT-4 which was a significant improvement but more importantly gave the impression that progress was actually accelerating, then for the last 20 months we got incremental tweaks and new models that are a little better at certain tasks and a little worse at others.
The Democratic part has completely lost touch with the working class. Harris struggled to articulate any sort of economic policy other than "we're going to ban price gouging, give money to people to start businesses, and help people make down payments on houses" with no details. Meanwhile, they latched onto some of the most fringe culture war issues like making sure that trans men can compete in women's sports.
I voted for her because another Trump presidency is literally an existential threat to the country, but I saw this coming from a mile away.
Same thing happens with H1B/PERM, except now it's the law requiring it rather than company policy. The company already has someone doing the job today, but legally they have to post the job and interview a certain number of candidates to prove there is no US citizen that can do it.
Terrible situation for all involved.
The last sentence in the paper:
"It seems that gravity is a low energy effective field theory description of something else that is not a quantum field theory."
QFTs like QED and QCD are renormalizable. This is a technique used to eliminate the infinities that arise in calculations from self-interaction. For a very long time, renormalization was viewed as hocus pocus (including by the person who discovered it). Later, mathematicians were able to provide a solid theoretical foundation for it.......but only as an effective field theory valid at particular size and energy scales.
Net net, the standard model is an approximation of something more fundamental. Gravity being nonrenormalizable shows that "something" is not a QFT.

You can read the first two paragraphs of the Introduction and then skip to the last sentence of the Conclusion if you want to bypass all the math.
What?
Making calls was the killer app for Nokia brick phones in the late 1990s.
The killer app for the first generation of smartphones (Windows Mobile, Blackberry, etc.) was email and calendar.
The killer app for iPhone and Android was the capacitative touchscreen combined with the ability to run 3rd party apps (yes, I'm aware there was an extremely brief moment in the history of the original iPhone where Apple opposed this), and 3G mobile internet (yes, again, I realize this came a year after the initial iPhone release). Mobile web browsers and Maps/GPS got the party started.
