“Shield the team” from context switches, not context. Cached context is cheap

What funds the UPI system? I assume that it’s cheaper than MC/Visa rails?

The tradie app space is ripe for deep customisation. Appaca might fill that. Each trade has specific requirements that vendors lack deep domain knowledge of.

Robots can also add different attachments to perform specialised tasks that custom machines often did. They can also have more than two arms.

A fairer way would be requiring all excess profits be invested in hard assets like factories, infrastructure etc. capital should be forced into competition and create excess capaci…

The web revolution is to Windows UI what vibe coding is to programming today. It brought in a massive group of people who didn't need to understand message pumps, or handles or non…

Try tax avoidance

I read a story about Dreame. The founder worked in aerospace, but wanted to make a mass-produced motor with aerospace standards. So he modelled air flow using aerospace tools, buil…

If hybrid seeds provide economic and material benefit then the laws should be written to prevent counterfeits, not specifically banning people from replanting.

With WeChat and Alipay, the recipients phone confirms receipt with a Kaching and TTS amount transferred.

what's the security risk with QR systems? I've recently come to use one and it relies on software for both parties having connectivity.

why does this arbitrage exist? Why is the cost of energy, the fundamental input into every economy, cheaper in Asia? Tractors consume fuel, fertilisers do too. Human labour is the …

SOAP started life as XmlRpc. It was a simple model used in Python. It was a simple serialisation format. It was a micro format and could be implemented in a day. It didn’t cover en…

Head of SMIC was ex TSMC IIRC. They were able to poach TSMC engineers because Taiwan didn’t pay as well.

Pat Shoon Shiong had a cancer drug approved for targetting bladder cancer, don’t know whether Ukrainians can have access though.

LLMs’ design is around novelty and creativity. It was the missing left brain of computation. We should stick to traditional styles of computation for compilation.

On Acquired podcast, Ballmer spoke of his experience as CEO with Gates as CTO. It was hell.

I’ve often wondered about PPP and why China is cheaper. Deepseek provided interesting answers, and it’s nothing to do with pollution or cheap labour. Turns out socialist policies, …

Queues have several problems - if the caller is http it may timeout and retry, leading to more jobs being queued - the caller may no longer care because it took so long and the wor…

It may also be an irrelevant question in light of connections research that shows circuits are more important than regions of cells.

In any large orgs the more people involved the more deadlocks you have and it can become a policy quagmire. Both meta and twitter achieved more velocity once cuts are in place.

There's a professor who argues that cancer cells are fermentation and ketogenic diet is one of the pathways. There are drugs to stop this kind of respiration as well. People on Twi…

The ethical issue is bunk. With the internet, using a journal as a gatekeeper no longer makes sense. We can, for example, require pre-registration of self trials so that null resul…

Why about Sky News?
