If you pay with card there will be an electronic trace.

Our power problems today are far away from the theoretical limits you described. But reversible computing is inevitable in quantum computers, so it's researched in that context.

A bit of survivorship bias in your question. You are comparing the absolute best from 100 years ago with the average peer from today. There were also far far fewer "researchers" ba…

Big software companies create and open source stuff which makes them more productive. Why doesn't this dynamic work in hardware? Wouldn't "valuing hardware" improve their competiti…

Neither has fusion research produced anything for us yet. Should we stop funding it?

> A reasoning and conscious machine would be just as or more moral than us. There is no rational argument for it to exterminate life. We drove the mega-fauna into extinction withou…

Shared memory: https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/objects.html

You can use just ray.core to do multi process. You can do whatever you want in the workers, I parse JSONs and write to sqlite files.

"Ray" can share python objects memory between processes. It's also much easier to use than multi processing.

The "ray" library makes running python code on multi core and clusters very easy.

Quality anti-aliasing is expensive. So you want to allow the implementation to decide how much to spend on it depending on available compute, battery and so on.

Games targetting pre-Pentium PCs also used precomputed trig tables. Pentium was fast enough that it didn't matter as much. Just a few years later it was slower to read a trig preco…

Criminal rights are a different thing. There are tons of commercial rights EU citizens have which don't apply if you are an EU citizen living in US - for example warranty rights.

Not a credible threat. There would be millions of people in the streets if Facebook/Whatsapp/Google were blocked due to EU regulations.

90s apps used these Windows handle controls and it was not a performance problem. On computers 100 slower than today and with 1000 times less memory. BTW, the current Windows Task …

You literally have an option in WhatsApp do disable loading of audio/image/video.

Pro cameras have a volume problem. Too few are sold. Imagine if Intel only sold 10000 CPUs a year, but the fabs still cost billions of dollars. Do you still think you would have $5…

Tensor cores massively accelerate matrix multiplication with no algorithmic breakthrough. Just by being smart about how you move/cache/reuse values, operations which are considered…

What if that person doesn't have the right qualification yet was told to remove the bolt? What if management was notified that the employee doesn't follow procedures yet did nothin…

Standardized memory chips allows economy of scale to work.

He said it, but in reverse order: first shortage of electricity, then of transformers - needed by new power plants built to solve the electricity shortage. You can get an estimate …
