If only the ad quality went up with the efficiency with which they syphon the data. I don’t have a driver’s license and I’m in a relationship yet a considerable amount of personalised ads on my devices are about dating sites and car dealers

At 32 min she talks about a book called "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Microcomputers, but didn't know who to ask" by Slater. I found a reference on archive but nothing more, also nothing on the author. Leland W.

I used to know one philosophy student in my student years and this was exactly the beaf I had with him at every single discussion. I believe this is part of the training, dissecting sentences.

I’d compare it to the sobriety test of being asked to walk in a straight line. someone who’s drunk will put a lot of effort in it, which is the giveaway.

We’re hampered by the limits of engineering, not those of physics by a long shot.

You know those youtube videos where a puppet in an arena is shown and it’s iteratively selected/respawn/retrained for getting across an obstacle field? This is exactly that. First obstacle has been cleared and now the population i

What you’re describing is called the law of conservation of misery. Misery is like a water-filled party balloon. If you squeeze it in one place it expands in another, often between your fingers.

My gut tells me that elimination of scarcity is going to be a piecewise proces, whereby each step is countered with a lock-in of scarcity rules.

We have recently developed a system that eliminates scarcity for all digital media. The results is not an ideological re-alignment but a crowbar that locks down the rules of scarcity.

The author mentioned this somewhere in his book: competitors pronounced it mucous as a joke/jab. I believe it’s pronounced micro-cos as in microcosmos.

No mention of ChibiOS, unfortunately. I checked and the port still has problems installing on flash, so runs on RAM only. I’d also like to suggest uC/OS. It doesn’t take much more than setting a timer in asm to port that rtos but I hav

I suspect they're going to start with a rectangular substrate on which they'll grow Si and then high electron mobility materials.

there's no real reason for hobbyists to design a custom IC - anything they can afford to get manufactured could be done on an FPGA. Except if you work on a mac. No fpga for apple.
