Take your computer out of your room?

Also, you can turn motherboard LEDs off in every bios I've ever used. And the status LEDs, which usually only light up for errors.

>Why do you feel better when you go to Europe, or even to Disneyland?

Probably because you're on vacation?

Why is there nothing that walkable city enthusiasts will claim walkable cities won't fix?

Having python as a first programming language isn't a big disadvantage. The core elements of program optimization are still there: making sure you don't accidentally write O(n2) code etc. even if the memory management is opaque, you end up with an idea of values vs references, stacks and heaps just from some surprising edge cases in the language.

And cause the poorest countries - already very dysfunctional - to have basically zero hope to develop. Making it a self reinforcing cycle.

>Is it a disorder if there’s no downside?

Well, no. But it can get to situations where the declutterer does not have a pen but needs a pen, so they buy one, and then throw it away. But when they next need a pen...

Or situations where they harm their interpersonal relationships, by throwing out other people's treasures/belongings or not having enough furniture to host them, etc.

Amazingly, there's also a term for that disorder, too. Compulsive decluttering.

I think this was front page on here a while back.

...if you take them at their word. Oh, and ignore the bit where they will give you extra money if you agree to let them keep your biometric data on file to "improve their algorithm".

Lex is a fraud and I wouldn't give that man a cent if I could avoid it.

>Are there no local taxes which can cover this?

There are monthly, local taxes, yes. Payable by all residents.

Are they enough? Nothing is ever enough.

>I am not sure we are making good use of all that hardware yet. Dunno, working out the color of 8 million pixels every 6ms seems pretty good to me

>something that never/rarely happens here in Europe

The English PM is the son of Indian immigrants though

>Modern chip manufacturing is basically black magic.

This, if you ever want to feel wonder at things the human race can accomplish, lithography has to be in the top 3 reasons imo.

>I think you can get a 2TB ssd for like a 100 bucks nowadays. They are dirt cheap.

Unless you're paying Apple for it :^). Hope you like 12x markup to go with your 1TB SSD :^)

Bear in mind, when silicon foundries say they have an Xnm process, nothing in that process is actually Xnm. TSMCs 2nm process does not make transistors 2nm wide[1]. They are in fact, approximately 40-50nm wide. The process number is a marketing number, and what changes each generation is actually transistor geometry (here you'll see terms like FinFET and GAA transistor and such, plus some process improvements that cause "half" generations)

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_process

But yeah, the fact that latest process nodes actually increase in cost is why people say "Moore's law is dead". Performance improves, but to keep the trendline roughly exponential, many things have had to give since the late 2000s. Such as: cost per wafer, power usage for max performance etc.

>Another way of looking at this is that a lot of that $200B was likely put back into the economy

And put into relatively unproductive sectors like luxury goods. And taken from future American taxpayers, too. A truly collosal waste of limited resources.

>hike >10km and finish at the pub

This is the way

Most bottles are 660ml and cans are varied, but many are 500ml.

However, in pubs and restaurants, the standard glasses are 568ml and half of that, for a half-pint.

The 2nd image - I very, very much doubt that's harm per user. "Overall harm" almost certainly doesn't mean that, and then harm per user is a very important metric.

>Which so far I consider the best single-player gaming experience in history

The only use case for "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" memory erasing technology would be so you can play Outer Wilds for the first time again.

+1 for Outer Wilds

That's because you've only thought about it for 5 minutes, or your don't know much about finance, and definitely that you haven't read the article in question.

>I would have given some vital part of my body for a mortgage which was stable over 30 years

The entire point of the blog post is that achieving this for everyone carries vicious negative externalities.

Hi David! I love your blog and your twitter

This is an article about the comment section of an article. What's next, an article about this comment on an article about the comment section of that article? The only thing stupider than this article is this comment imo.

Black! Takes me back, first game I ever 100%d.

However, when I revisted it on real PS2 hardware 10 years ago, I was shocked how clunky it was compared to my memories.

Tbh, cutting corners to land new revenue, if it's sufficiently big, sounds like the prime reason to take on tech debt. It's arguably just like a loan to make a new factory line to expand production for new sales or whatever.

For sure, if it's a small client or far from a sure thing, then yeah it's bad. Like anything, a judgement call about where the cost benefit ratio lies.

I've played Factorio (and Satisfactory, and DSP) and I understand that you can just do a bit here and a bit there but still. And I've spent 1,500 hours in some games (with a couple of hours a night, most - but not all - nights) too. Even so, it's intimidating to start such an endeavour.

>or is it just always happening? It's happening right now. The BTC to $30k rally is entirely fake. The volume collapsed after 15k and it pumps to 30k with trading volume a 10th of the descent? "Sure".

>1500+ hours

Ahh, so if I start a game now, and play a reasonable (dedicated, honestly) 2 hours a night, every day, I'll have completed it in 2025.

Wild. Not for me!

I think this is an elegant explanation

It's fun to imagine the species in x-hundred years. My college physics professor once told us that in 500 years, physics professors will still teach Maxwell's equations in the format he was showing us. And honestly, I think he's right.

Somethings we will do the same way for hundreds of years, like the wheelbarrow will still exist in 500 years as it has for likely the previous 5,000.

Otoh, I doubt we will be going faster than light this millenium.
