The only Zen 3 chips are desktop class, so Apple’s first generation ultra book oriented processor is trading blows with the best line of desktop processors. That’s a pretty big deal!

While I do like the developer centric features, that interest rate is pretty terrible. Macquarie and Volt are much better in that respect.

Lovely stuff, our society may be imperfect, but our material well-being is not something to be dismissed. Our secure food supply, sanitation, clean drinking water, medicine, and ability to adjust the climate to a comfortable level are absol

Even if it were only 5-10% of internet traffic, that’d be huge! Think about how much the internet has exploded in use since 2009.

I see the topics of biased information and neural input bandwidth as unrelated as the current rate of bandwidth is sufficient. As you mentioned, humans have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to whip themselves up into a frenzy throughout

I disagree with the premise that the fact that I can see my living room in my peripheral vision reduces the influence of my media consumption.

I disagree, Humans already have a neural interface with AI via the visual cortex and the auditory nerve. You are forming a neural link with an AI when you have a conversation with your Google Home. I imagine a electrode neural link would wi

We’ve actually had ways of observing neural signals for quite some time. In order to identify the regions of the brain requiring surgery for epilepsy, patients get electrodes implanted and spend several weeks in hospital. Various researcher

I don’t think that’s entirely true because brains are quite adaptable. In similar sorts of studies, humans managed to train themselves to use the electrodes to direct things. It may never be ‘perfect’, but I think you’d be surprised how muc

It seems like the key advance here is the miniaturisation. Imagine one of these puppies paired up with an advanced prosthetic arm.

I think you’re conflating Afghanistan with Vietnam. America never fully committed to Afghanistan as they did with Vietnam. From the very outset they tried to do it on the cheap by relying heavily on the northern alliance. Subsequent to the

The DLC model seems to work. Similar to micro transactions, but none of the pay to win, gambling, and grind bypassing nonsense.

I can say quite confidently that micro transactions ruined sim city build it. They slathered the game with a massive amount of grind, it really only has a minor thematic similarity to the rest of the franchise.

The US won Afghanistan handily, they just didn’t know what to do with it when they had it. I think America would have been better off placing Afghanistan under a military governor for a few years while they built up the country’s institutio

Reading through both Nate’s twitter thread and the article, it reads like Nate never read the article. It seems to address every point he brought up in a reasonable manner. Odd.
