EU just needs to stop being behind technologically.

shot-for-shot recreations are a waste of time. a robot or algorithm could copy. we watch adaptations to see a new perspective on an old tale. if you want a copy, just read the original.

The retelling of a story can never damage the integrity of the original, and it is very foolish of you to even suggest that it could. The original is always the original, and is unimpacted by anything that comes after...
This is as silly as suggesting that Tolkien's work somehow tarnishes or damages nordic/germanic mythology. utterly ridiculous.

Why? I'm not in a gang or a mob, so i am safe from their silly little squabbles. I don't care how many gang members kill each other. I also don't care how many people die in DRC civil wars, because I am not in the DRC. I don't care about people dying on other planets and in different galaxies.

18th out of 50 is not excellent for a HEGEMON country that essentially rules europe, south america, and half of asia. I imagine Britain was better than 18th out of 50 during the height of the british empire.

product made by monopoly company worth $2T is better than small startups with less than 30 employees. shocker. the reason people are supporting Kagi is because we see the trend with google quality and we want alternatives, even if they are currently worse. it's called activist consumerism. it's why we supported AMD when they were at the brink of bankruptcy, and now look at their CPUs and look at intel.

You must be a super-taster. Some percentage of the population is super sensitive to taste, and think everything is overseasoned. You must be one of those people. Other people need 2-3x the flavor to match what you taste.

Re:To Cope with Extreme Heat, Paris Will Swap Parking Spaces for Trees

It was shocking to see China last month. Every city I visited (Shanghai, Suzhou, Changshu) had tons of trees recently planted everywhere, and it made the cities amazing to be in. Besides being clean, trees everywhere made the cities feel green and cozier than they had any right to feel. Western countries need to plant as many trees as possible in big cities, it's such an easy way to make cities cooler, quieter, cozier, and obviously nicer and greener.

layperson with no industry knowledge, but it seems like nvidia's CUDA moat will fall in the next 2-5 years. It seems impossible to sustain those margins without competition coming in and getting a decent slice of the pie

in industrial manufacturing, recovering waste heat is a very common junior engineer task, usually a great first year project from recent grads to do a simple, $50-100k project that has a 1-2 year payback period.
Surely someone in the trillion dollar datacenter industry can figure out a way to take waste heat and use it in a profitable way, right?

what did obama do that was considered nobel bait? he had no idea they were about to give it to him. And really, him getting the nobel is probably more for signifying the end of racism since america finally elected a black president, but we all know how that turned out.
