Machines have been making kill-or-no-kill decisions for decades, and they were a lot more indeterminant. Heat-seeking missiles largely kill whatever is hot. Proximity fuses in WW2 detonated whenever they got near something. Anti-personal mi

So how would this work? Does this mean Microsoft will build a directly connected data center nearby? Or is Microsoft just buying power from the plant's owner on the energy market?

This isn't always possible, though. You could grow up with parents and teachers who do not push you to study. Perhaps you are malnourished or abused. Having the environment and support to study hard is something not all students have.

I think universities can probably come up with a different set of non-protected criteria to lift underrepresented communities out of social/financial oppression. This might even provide greater access to some equally needing students t

I was a Rutgers student when this was happening. I recall some final assignments and exams getting canceled when they attacked the Rutgers network. When the news broke about the perpetrators behind Mirai and specifically the Dyn attack, I w

I really want an EV, but they don't work for me. I live in an urban area and park on a city street. EV ownership would add a lot of complications to my life due to the current state of charging infrastructure. I think EV adoption will

You still have to trust that data was recorded into a blockchain correctly/faithfully. So you can never truly remove trust. I'm not sure a immutable ledger is any more useful than a database if there is still some sort of required

I was in Montessori through kindergarten. I do remember feeling a bit disadvantaged socially when I entered 1st grade in a conventional school. Most of the other students had done kindergarten at my new school and already knew each other. I

I often wonder if it is currently more environmentally responsible to dispose of plastics in the trash rather than the recycling. If we can't recycle plastic or it ends up in the ocean/waterways, then landfill seems like a better

Air travel contributes to about 2.5% of greenhouse gas emissions and is responsible for about 3.5% of anthropogenic warming [1]. In my opinion, there is an outsized amount of public outrage going on and we should be directing this outrage t

We do a similar thing. Engineering tracking is done through AZDO, but roadmap management is done in another tool with some sort of integration between the two.

I probably take more guidance from blog articles and GitHub issue comments than I do from StackOverflow. I think this started to happen for me around 2015/2016. I'm not sure though if that's a function of me requiring more ni

It might be the Pi wearing out the SD card. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 [1] actually has a PCIe Gen 2 x1 socket. Jeff Geerling (who's active on HN) has actually gotten SATA working [2] through the Compute Module 4 and the Compute

I'm glad that there is much more awareness and consideration around cost. When I was in high school and applying to colleges around 2011, the advice given to us was to not take cost too seriously. Many authority figures (like high scho

I'm interested what would cause underground cables to break more often. Is it people not "calling before you dig" and accidentally severing them or is it something else?

This is unrelated to the actual content of Thiel's remarks, and perhaps I'm just oblivious/ignorant. Why would anyone want to associate themselves with anything to do with Nixon? It's surprising prominent figures would w

I have a NUC10 that experiences very similar Bluetooth issues, but it has the AX201. I wonder if this isn’t just contained to the AX200.

Pascal was the first language where programming clicked for me. Pascal also happens to be my given last name, which makes it just a bit more special to me. Funnily enough I learned Pascal using Turbo Pascal which makes me sound older than I
