Sure, but I'm imagining a situation where China ensures the ongoing operations of TSMC via negotation with TSMC and the Trump government, to the satisfaction of all parties, and then being 'allowed' to take Tiawan as a result. For example, they could allow TSMC to function as an American-run entity for a number of years, or offer US companies very friendly terms, or something similar.
This doesn't account for the actions of Tiawanese nationalists working in TSMC setting off the kill routine themselves, irrespective of the deal struck, but it's still an interesting scenario.
not sure where they got that info for the "software developer median salary" but pretty sure thats not the median salary for software developers in the Netherlands. It's about half that.
Yeah the fine print says developers with 3-5 years experience. Even the US numbers are inflated for devs with that level of experience. Certainly outside of the Bay Area and maybe NYC.
That’s a great topic for late night dorm bull sessions but it’s not what we’re talking about here. People know that photographers can be selective about what and how they cover things, but there’s been an understanding that photos are recording something real in a way which is no longer true at all.
Yes, people played dark room and photoshop tricks but those were labor intensive and hard to make pass a detailed examination. What we have just seen is the equivalent of jumping from the age of archery to machine guns without much time for society to adjust and develop safeguards.
Yes, but you’re restating why I specified archery as the starting point: by WWI people had had multiple centuries to get used to firearms improving rapidly and changing ranged warfare from something requiring skilled warriors to something you could throw gobs of recently-recruited farm boys at. AI fakery has progressed at a much faster rate.
WWI was one of the worst things that ever happened in all of history, it destroyed many millions of lives and scarred an entire generation of people across the entire world and led pretty directly to WWII and the Holocaust. I'm not sure "that's how technology usually works" is a good argument here.
Ironically it also led to Turing and modern computation. Some of the earliest computers were built to decode enigma and help develop the atom bomb as far as I know.
Post-modernism is like salt and pepper. A small appropriate amount of salt-pepper would make a meal great. But salt and pepper by themselves can never be a proper meal. In similar vain, you need post-modernism to get a borader perspective of things. But that doesn't mean post-modernism, by itself, cannot be the only way to discuss things.
" This will be an all-morning meeting so arrive energized as we hit the ground running on Monday morning" 100% this is written by ChatGPT.
It gets very excited.
There's plenty of data now from Nissan, Tesla and others showing that 10 year old EVs still often have at least 80% of their original battery capacity. Needing to replace the battery is not a given.
Right now, looking at buying a used EV, I am more scared that the battery or electrics fail for some reason than I am of their gradual degradation over time.
I don't know how likely that is, but it's putting me off anything other than manufacturer approved used with a solid warranty.
I should mention the Dr. Prius app, which is not limited to the Prius. The Dr. Prius website lists ODB2 readers that are able to access the battery data. Some single-board ODB2 readers can't.
