Reduce White Point doesn't solve the problem, but helps reduce brightness while leaving the phone at a higher brightness to reduce the modulation depth. This also results in color and contrast changes. Apple is still one of the worst

There's already Expanded Access / Compassionate Care options for terminal patients. It doesn't require the FDA rushing through unproven medications.

You're citing some blog copy that doesn't link to or correctly cite its sources that seems to be trying to sell shady psychological services. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if AI played a part in constructing this post. For

This is a good first step. Ideally it turns into a "verify this all looks correct & add anything we're missing" kinda thing.

They would pay more if there were fewer market options, but there aren't, so not sure your point.

The cost is not relatively tiny, it's actually quite significant. Nuclear at least allows for better accountability & management of the waste it produces. Unfortunately accountability & management has been rather poor, diminish

The fears I was talking about were around the toxicity and dangers, not the cost. While we're on costs why didn't you highlight the $7B/yr for Fukushima or the $68B to date for Chernobyl? What about the 200% cost overruns and

You clearly did not read the second sentence in my tiny comment. Hand wavy nuclear apologia is what's actually incredibly disingenuous. You don't just need to keep tabs on it for 100 years. Much longer & ideally in a coordinat

Nuclear & fossil fuels both look bad when considering long-term sequestration of their waste. That said many of these sites are so polluted due to fast & loose early nuclear weapons programs.

interesting, I wonder why. I guess it's saving via current reductions despite higher vcore.

by Klinky 3y ago
You can do more power optimizations with efficiency cores than the performance cores. There are power tradeoffs to get max perf. You can significantly reduce vcore if your max frequency is much lower. Cache is also power hungry & takes

Some of the Microsoft deal was due to the antitrust pressures MSFT was under in the late 90's, seeing Apple go under would've removed any deniability and put them under the microscope. That said it's hard to argue that Jobs d

Why couldn't he just turn NeXT into the wealthiest company in the world? Perhaps you could say that's what he did by getting bought out by Apple, but Ives was an Amelio hire, and hard to say Ives wasn't as pivotal to Apple&#x

How? Jobs did have some original ideas, but it's not like NeXT was a resounding success on its own that toppled Apple & Microsoft. Being the ideas guy is different than the implementation guy, and in some cases he was neither.

None of that is really his call to make alone, upper management & the board also has influence & burdens much of the load. This idea that he's the only man in the room or on the planet that could do this position seems pretty a

It's hard to know what you find spurious. Much of religious apologetics involves dismissing every criticism as spurious. Given that multiple authors over long periods of time wrote these religious texts, contradictions do arise, or at

Some things are spelled out, claimed or alluded to, then later contradicted. It would be interesting for an AI to analyze the claims and the actions, then see if those attributes hold true, or if God is a contradictory character, one that i

Let's say a treatment kills 9 out of 10 people. Maybe those 9 were terminally ill & that's why they died, but maybe the company was just lying and their treatment was doing nothing or killing people more quickly. How do you de

Who defines calcification and comfort zone? Be careful you don't confuse a mature stack with subject matter experts who can execute effectively as "outdated calcification". I would be wary of someone who wants to hop around a

The entire second paragraph is about finding optimum turnover to keep the team fresh and dynamic. I think it's impossible to control organic voluntary turnover, as you don't control people's lives/desires. The alternativ

I don't think artificial turnover is the solution. Teams need good documentation and design or else onboarding/offboarding will be painful and a huge distraction. If you've got good documentation and design methodology, then

Science is a method/study, not an isolated entity. Who is "they"? You mean "scientists"? Which ones? The ones paid off by Big Tobacco? Often the negative issues we face are ignored due to conflicts of interest, bias

It feels like a quarter of the time screenshare doesn't even work in Teams and it's noticably choppier when it does work. Code blocks working in Teams is inconsistent, and it seems to add additional spaces when copying. Quoting &a

It sure seemed like you were saying the "Bill Gates wants to kill/control you with COVID-19/Vaccine" conspiracies had more merit than the "5G Causes COVID-19" conspiracies. Both of them were crackpot theories.

Yes, appreciate the transparency, but it's kind of embarrassing "22 second launch time" was considered acceptable for so long, and "more than twice as fast" now means "almost a 10 second launch time".

Why would I ignore the parts of a cited source they don't agree with or that's counter to the claim being made? You don't think that's important?

Is this true? I saw NIH lifted a moratorium in 2017. There's currently an unpassed bill to stop Fed funding of gain-of-function research. It does not seem banned either completely or from federal funding.
