It's good to see the hype around "programmers are no longer needed" giving way to a more realistic view. Generating lines of code was never the hardest part of engineering. What's much harder is understanding exactly what we're building, how it integrates with legacy systems, and making sure it doesn't crash the database under load

Unlived dreams are not always abandoned because we choose something else. Sometimes they are taken by circumstance

I think this gets at an important distinction: some dreams are painful because they are impossible and some are painful because they are unresolved

There is a strange grief in realizing that even a good life necessarily excludes almost all other possible lives

This is what makes it interesting to me as well

This is probably the better way to frame it: not "Nvidia is proposing a new CPU system" but "Nvidia is trying to move an existing GB/Spark-class platform into a Windows PC form factor"

For local models, the useful part is not just having 128GB attached to the package. It is whether the GPU can practically use that memory without the usual VRAM-style constraints

I think the local-model use case is going to become less niche pretty quickly if the models keep getting smaller and more capable. Even if most people do not care about privacy or offline use, the cost argument is pretty strong

The interesting part to me isn't really the Cortex-X925 vs AVX-512 comparison, but Nvidia trying to make the GPU the center of a Windows PC rather than an add-in card

I get what you mean, but "more addictive stimulant with a stronger cognitive kick" is one of those product requirements that starts to sound less appealing the longer you think about it

A molecule can be socially and medically associated with a very harmful delivery mechanism, while still having specific biochemical effects that are worth studying on their own. Ant that's interesting

The glucose part is especially interesting: the missing step wasn't just an unknown enzyme, but a transient intermediate that basically disappears by the end

I agree that privacy and security are not identical, and that bad actors can benefit from privacy tools too. But I don't think that makes privacy a "lofty but meaningless" ideal

Most people probably don't "give away freedom" in some explicit bargain. They accept one small exception at a time: this restriction is for children, this one is for safety, this one is only for bad actors, this one is temporary

Age-gating VPNs fails, becausw it probably won't stop determined piracy or abuse, but it will make privacy tools feel abnormal, regulated, and less available to ordinary users and families

Yet platforms should be accountable for the harms they create (in some way it has to be regulated)

I think better enforcement against harmful platform behavior and better digital literacy would do more without normalizing surveillance as the default

Sometimes, but carbon has its own failure mode: at high anodic potentials it can oxidize

Yes, although I'd still want to see how much of total delivered hydrogen cost this actually moves

The "cannot be explained" headline is a bit much, but the underlying result is genuinely interesting

That's probably part of it, though I'd guess currency and regional price alignment are doing a lot of the work too

Same. My wallet can survive the price increase, but it's waiting for Mario to personally justify it

That's probably the strongest argument against rushing into Switch 2

The Switch 2 price bump isn't too surprising, but increasing the price of the old Switch models this late is pretty wild...

SMS is old infrastructure and the sender identity in an SMS is not like a signed email domain or an end-to-end verified chat identity. A lot of trust sits in the carrier network and interconnects

How many telecom features were designed in a more trusted era

Makes me wonder whether phones should expose more information when they attach to a suspicious or downgraded cell tower

And this can happen even when everyone involved is smart and sincere

The "premature aging" framing makes sense, but I wonder if it risks hiding the disease-specific parts

The scary part is that everyone can be acting in good faith and still produce a monoculture
