It's called football. What Americans call football is American Rugby. ;-)

There's a fundamental flaw in the article (and likely also in the underlying research) ; it assume that unless you're married, you're single. That's far from truth; roughly half of partnered couples aren't married at all.

What is the definition of a bribe, now again?

Interesting. I guess the flaw will remain until Razor Lake gen 16, or — if all stars align — maybe Nova Lake gen 15.

The GHz isn't the main issue; it is latency. We were stuck at 3-3.5 GHz for a long while with dual core being super expensive.

Now we're at 6-6.2 GHz in turbo mode. Can we go faster?Likely, but I don't see 12 GHz within forseable future. Instead, internal parallelism within a core have increased significantly. The bottleneck is cache reload and flushing from/to RAM. Highly optimized programs /may/ fit in cache (assuming they don't get swapped out due to task switching) but most don't since they use large frameworks and/or are interpreted or runs on Windows that since dawn of time always take 2-3% CPU.

But there's a lot of programs that are unable to utilize multiple cores, so even if there's 20 cores available, 19 are unused and the last one is limited.

Lower voltage allows for somewhat faster clock speeds, allowing faster execution. Microcode based instruction sets (x64) benefit the most from internal parallelism due to the ability to begin an instruction before the previous has completed, while ARM CPUs generally split the entire instructions into independent parts that all are executed simultaneously, but there's a limit on how much that can be parallelized given a certain RAM bus width. Increasing RAM bus width, expecially external RAM bus width is likely where the biggest gain is.

Electronic e-paper shelf labels have been around for at least some 20+ years or so. This article feels like a nothing-burger to me.

It makes sense on all points:

* Politically, since the USA is no longer a reliable partner.

* Strategically, since the Gripen is designed specifically for defence against russia in an arctic environment from rual highways, while F35 is an offensive plane mostly designed for use in warmer climate from fixed air bases.

The US does - as usually - not treat Copyright (or any other IP law) the way the rest of the world.

With the exception of the US, there's no "Copyright Office" where copyright is registered at. Copyright is automatically given for any work having sufficient "level of art" - a bar which is very low. It is not even required to state © for the work. However, if a work indeed has sufficient "level of art" can only be determined in an IP court of law.

Generally, billionaires have already moved their assets to tax-havens. Because it is the sane thing to do. And the minute a bill for anti-movement is scheduled for a vote, the rest will be moved before the bill comes into effect.

Instead of taxing leavers, one should provide tax cuts for returners. Their investment locally means jobs will be created locally and taxes will subsequently be paid locally anyway. Win-win for everyone.

There used to be a wealth tax and land value tax in Sweden (aka world champion of taxation), but they were abolished simply because being taxed yearly on an fixed asset doesn't mean you have the liquidity to pay the taxes from your income. They had also caused the some of the wealthiest people in the UK to be Swedes, IKEA being Swiss and Dutch, and a lot of other movements of capital to other countries. All in all, wealth and value tax are a big loss of income for the government.

It might be legal in YOUR jurisdiction, but at least in the jurisdiction I'm in, it is not - AFAIK - legal to neither underwrite or overwrite costs on the sole purpose of avoiding tax or grooming the pig.

It was just a matter of time, considering how many Mtok you could consume in just 300 prompts.

Although I've never worked at a FAANG, but everything except the internal competition to be seen as "the guy" is actually true for any big, multinational company. The alignment, the big leverage of a mistake, the huge code bases that only "the guy who left half a year ago" knows about and the cultural differences (apart from the challenges to work with both Chinese, European and US timezones at once) is all the same.

That said, it gives lots of experience. As does working in startups as well as mature SMEs. Having done all three, I can't say either is better. They're different, but some are better at a certain point of life and not as good in other points of life.

That should be covered in your employment contract. But usually, you are obliged to transfer the rights to the employer.

Yeah. Ive started to use somewhat incorrect English, like skipping apostrophes, just so it is obvious it couldnt have been generated, since Ai models dont fail on such simple mistakes.

Unfortunately, parts of how AI produced texts are structured and formulated do match my natural voice, since it follows the classic patterns of writing. That sucks.

As a flight nerd, I'm pretty impressed with what's possible nowadays! Good job!

There's been so many things I didn't have on my 2026 bingo card I've lost count...

Can't we get back to some form of normality soon? I'm happy to take another pandemic instead of the current state of the world.

I do recognize the same thing.

It kind of takes its toll somehow; because the solution is "done" one it's fed to the AI, there's no time to recover by churning out boilerplate code or other patterns that sits in the spine.

It's more "full steam ahead, always".

Starliks have a smaller field of view because they operate at a much lower altitude, so they need to be in a much larger volume (10x) than those from Eutelsat.
