How was the person incorrect that speed increases won't continue forever? Pentium 4 was 3.8GHz and Ryzen 7 has 4.7Ghz some 20 odd years later?

Behind paywall, is there another link to the article?

As an engineering challenge, I love it. Other than that, I would've understood this notion better in the 90's when we were all on dialups. Maybe my perception is skewed growing up …

I disagree that literacy is all about reading fictional books and I wish we could broaden it a little bit more, even at school. This might be an odd take, but I never liked reading…

It's a generational thing as well as what sites you frequent. The term clanker is used very frequently on social media as well as different chat tools, especially as responses to o…

It's more of an oligopoly than a cartel to be honest. It's more like how the telco industry operates. High barriers to entry with generous subsidies and incentives for the existing…

What an amazing way of showcasing development, each with excerpts and notes highlighting expansion decisions. Are there other examples of this? Amazing!

I think they meant join in the sense of yet another study performed on mice with promising results without any indication if it will work in humans. Come back after clinical trials…

Local AI? Why stop there? They should expand it to blockchain, 3d printing, VR and quantum computing to make sure it really tickles the executives' imagination...

They are all chords (C, F, G, Am). C/Am, F, G are adjacent in the circle of fifths so they will all play nice in a progression.

That's hilarious. I'm imagining CRISPR as a tool to scramble your DNA every so often.

Wow, this is great advice. I never thought about it this way. I put on my engineering hat and saw a "problem" to be solved and a "solution" being a finished game... And it's mutual…

Thank you. Will look into Roblox studio

His vision is a “survival zombie game where you have to find and repair cars to escape the zombies” Yeah I know, that’s how I started as well. Got some old 8086 and zero instructio…

Background : My son hasn’t really showed any interest in computers until now. He’s been spending a lot of time over the last couple of weeks designing some sort of a game (on paper…

Completely agree, I'm waiting for the article on "Why you need a business-oriented co-founder and how technical founders can recruit one"...

If you can clear a medical debt with 0.7 cents on the dollar, how is this system nothing more than a big scam?

Looking at my shelf, I feel personally attacked.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I see this more of an issue of User Experience / Service Design than anything else. Physical check-in means you provide your ID / Passport, and a b…

That's not a fair comparison, it would be more like if they run out of samples you can't demand more, or if you've already had 10 you might have to expect them to say no, or if you…

Is it the French again?

I know (some) French, still use ChatGPT or Google Translate a lot to get me started if I want to send a note to someone in French. I still do some hand-waving afterwards to ensure …

I’m sorry but networking for me is part of why I go to conferences. Being able to hit speakers and people up for conversations is what generates more value for me than the talks th…

I'd like to add to this; I believe it's more based in the fear of the unknown. People are generally very resistant to change, good or bad, "better the devil you know" and so on. Th…

My assumption is that it's there's not really a business case to invest in Siri: * Bringing Siri up to speed with expectations AND keep it maintained and updated is probably orders…
