It’s an unsustainable model, but you’re proposing an unenforceable guideline. China hasn’t stopped using coal because of climate concerns. The US hasn’t stopped fracking. Africa won’t stop adding another billion people. None of those things

You just invented the job equivalent of rent control, and all the problems that ensue from it.

Huh? Scientists in federal government were discussing the risks of CO2 and the greenhouse effect for 30+ years before that point. There's literal White House memos from 1977 calling it out. In that time we've cycled through R&#x27

"Given level of power" is meaningless for data centers. If they can get 50MW of power, they'll obviously try to use it as efficiently as possible to generate as much compute/value. But that's not what anyone means w

It doesn't serve any purpose to act like they were good at their jobs before. Returning to a status quo of 5 or 15 years ago is such a mediocre goal in this space that its arguably not worth spending political capital on.

If you subscribe to an AGI/ASI view, the stakes are different than the network effects that Uber thinks they could get. Success here would mean you could theoretically pull away from the competition so far and so fast, whether that b

Sustainable design for datacenters is orthogonal to success in data centers. That's like saying a local bakery should become a leader in pet adoption - it'll score some feel good points, but is almost counterproductive to the actu

The same EPA that under 5+ administrations has taken no material action to reduce the effects of climate change? Approved the widespread use of PFAS for stuff as silly as egg pans and snowboard wax, poisoning people's blood and communi

Isn't that such little effective working space though? 4K 100% is fine, but I literally could use more effective real estate to have multiple things up.

Not if you’re driving it from your iPhone or MacBook. You’ll still need chips, but certainly not a M series processor, coprocessor, tons of storage, etc.

Are you running any scaling on 5K 27 or 32 6K? I have 20/20 vision and a pretty normal desk setup. I run my 32 4K at 100% scaling in Windows, and while I could maybe push it down a little smaller, some of the least PPI-aware interfaces

by alex43578 7d ago
What? 32 4K is 138PPI, which is better than 27in 1440P, and it's "retina" at 25in.

How shallow is your desk? I'm on a pretty regular sized desk and have no issues with a 32in monitor. You said you wished the screens had a smaller size? You'd want a smaller than 28in screen? Wouldn't that get pretty uncomfor

Yeah? It's just a display for sitting on the couch or in an airplane, watching videos or viewing a huge virtual desktop. Scrapping the cameras would save a ton on size, BOM, and complexity. Basically a "Pimax Dream Air" formf

But I think you do need some level of consistency to retain customers. Churning models, especially given Apple's otherwise-excellent retention metrics and mechanisms, seems like a self-goal by almost encouraging those buyers to switch

I think the lack of a AppleVision non-pro that was just some really good screens and a battery, hooked up to your iPhone/MBA/MBP for use as an immersive display was a miss. I tried the AVP but realized I didn't want/need

I don't really get this monitor when a 4K 32in QD OLED exists. Running the 32in at 100% scaling will yield more usable space on the left and right, essentially the same height, way better colors, way better refresh rates, and no odditi

Without a good way of getting it into the dataset via simulation, or a more speculative approach (world models?), edge cases and unusual circumstances could cause failures. I think my broader point is people don't do so well in unusual

Oh yeah, I’m not saying it should be in the training data - driving into the water would be a bad data collection strategy. My point was more that a self-driving car going into water isn’t some unreasonably bad action, as people do it all t

I’m disputing that it’s anyone’s responsibility except their own to find a solution to it. Work harder, earn more, or make do with less - they chose to take on two 18 year financial commitments and now are complaining that despite the bevy

People drive into deep water all the time - some states specifically have laws making them financially liable for the cost of rescue because it’s such a stupid thing to do. But still, they do it.

It’s wild because of how shockingly easy basic food photography is. Make a plate, set it in front of a window, snap a picture. I think AI is amazing, but equally amazing is people’s laziness and lack of taste when it comes to applying it.

How well is Europe’s unity through culture playing out when you’re trying to bridge Norway and Somalia, rather than Portugal and Spain or Denmark and the Netherlands? Hell, looking back a decade or two, the PIIGs would’ve been a bit at odds

Presumably the family of 4 isn't a family of 4 from the 1950s. Supporting a family of 4 on $50K or less hasn't been a thing for at a decade, so they were clearly in control of the variables at the relevant point in time. "Sho

If you're implying abortion (or Swift's proposal) is the only option for birth control, you're very wrong. Are there any roadblocks to condoms or contraceptives in any state in America? I'm not aware of one.

Vaccination has a very reasonable public health argument, even ignoring the fact that it has been massively eroded, and comparing vaccination to social media is disingenuous. If Timmy is on Instagram, John’s health isn’t at risk. If Timmy c

Sure sounds like they can’t afford a family of 4 on that income. They have control over both variables in that situation.

Why are you allowed to dictate how others raise their children? They don’t get a say in your kids diet or religion or choice of sport.

Has anyone made an EU regulation article Madlibs yet? I need a [industry where the EU is lagging], [justification for raising a tax], [food with a PDO label], and a [refugee group who gets special treatment].
