I love his podcast.

Thanks!

I tried reading, then simply skimming, but this is over my head and I didn’t think I could get through it comfortably. I was hoping for a paragraph that summed up a simple explanation, but if there was one, it was further in than I got. Can anyone summarize for dummies what this means for our understanding of physics?

TSMC’s upcoming N2 fabrication process is set to offer several improvements compared to the current N3E manufacturing technology. It is projected to deliver performance gains of 10% to 15% (at the same power and complexity), while also cutting power consumption by 25% to 30% (at the same clocks and complexity). Furthermore, the shift to the N2 node will likely enhance transistor density by about 15% on average. In general, transition from N3E to N2 brings similar improvements as transition to N3B from N5.

I don’t know how much longer we can keep going before physics ends advancement. Guess this is why quantum computing has been in development for most of my life, but I’m not sure how far off that is given that, as I said, we’ve been pursuing it most of my life and I don’t have a quantum computer. Maybe we’ll discover other breakthrough ways of doing math (I mean, undoubtedly). I’m just not educated enough to fathom the reality of what is possible in these areas.

Police in SF aren’t available to just show up with no delay. Too much crime. Source: I live in Oakland and my partner got jacked this year. 911 said fill out an online form.

Wtf is that even supposed to mean? Fuck off.

I guess in two years I’ll eat my words. Not really.

As others have said, keep finding and building projects for yourself. Maybe get this book if you don’t have ideas of things you can build: Exercises for Programmers: 57 Challenges to Develop Your Coding Skills

And the stock went up…

First genuine chuckle of the day.

Checked one of mine:

# get path to the download directory

Oh, ok.

I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand what’s happening here…

It shows how polished Linux has become

Did you read what you wrote?

configured the ethernet interface as a private interface, installed the DHCP server so I could do away with the router

Yeah, you and I can do this. Most people can’t. Yes, Linux has become more accessible. Most people still can’t do this.

It’s four journalists who broke away from their former employers and started their own thing. It’s ok to charge money to run a business. The quality of their work is top notch.

Also, we’re in beta

That means there might be a few hiccups along the way. If you run across any problems you can always let us know, and we’ll do our best to fix them.

I would have thought this is a disqualifier in terms of quality of the service, but if that’s acceptable to you then I’m glad you got something that works.

The only sensible way to operate these TVs is with no internet connection. We run our entertainment through an AppleTV. If that ever starts showing ads at rest, I’ll replace it with a Mac mini or a NUC. Fuck these companies and their race to the bottom.

Agreed, and well-articulated. I think you (OP) need to ask yourself whether you’re willing to pay the appropriate market rate for the service or not. I don’t know what that is, but I expect it’s higher than you’ve expressed.

As the team noted in their paper, no helmets and breastplates typical of the time have shown up from archaeological excavations of the site, so more digs may be necessary to reveal more about the ancient combatants at Tollense, the remains of many of whom remain on the site.

Probably picked clean after the battle. I would think scavengers knew that this was a location that yielded scrap metal following the battle.

I appreciate how it has developed into direct satire, though.
