No idea why it "failed" or was discontinued. From what i remember there was a huge waitlist to get one. I know lots of people that wanted on. It looked amazing IMO. I dont think it was a demand issue that caused it to be canceled

This was exactly what I was going to include. Seriously good book to see potential ramifications of this theory.

This is a relatively easy problem to solve, give families more and more incentives to have kids. Personally I view this as a non-issue. If a population decline reaches a truly severe level, we'll just implement a more comprehensive solution

If everything was based on 100g, people would become used to roughly weighing things with their hands and knowing roughly how many calories are in their food.

Why run docker in lxc when you can run lxc directly?

Why not? Apple headquarters looks like it's equipped with unknown weapons and could take flight at any moment. Their plan to hide their saucer -style UFO isn't as secret as they think.

If this is a trade war, it's not one of physical goods. I don't think it's an apples to apples comparison. Most software is just unnecessary.

They do ship A800 and H800 to China. H800 is the H100 with a much slower memory bandwidth. A800 is also a tiered down version of the A100

You realize what you described isn't a new phenomena. Paintings that were done followed a similar principle but often even more extreme. Men would make themselves look taller, hide physical deformities, etc... They would imagine themselves being greater than they actually are.

This reminds me of the Trisolaran from the three-body problem. They communicate with each other much more accurately and quickly with each other and have no need for a speech/language per se

> Birds are kind of like helicopters, it seems.

We could easily argue that birds are not a type of helicopter because for helicopter's we have a very specific set of flying properties required. It must have a main propeller for lift and a tail propeller to counter balance the main propeller from spinning the helicopter. If a bird flew with similar mechanism I would argue it was a helicopter.

We don't have a 100% accurate gauge for ToM as far as we know. This paper simply uses some of the best known tests for ToM and then states that either LLM can lead to emergent properties or that the current tests for ToM need to be re-thought.

> "if my grandmother had wheels, then she would be a bike"

Well it could be argued that she would be a bike. Its possible to be multiple things at once. If she had 2 wheels and could be ridden by other humans to a destination she might qualify has a bike. She would also continue to be your grandmother.

Are these resumes ATS compliant? A problem I have right now is my current resume generating technique does not produce very good ATS compliant resume.

It's a very different situation. In a country you cannot escape the king, he will be the absolute ruler until he dies. Since there was no escape eventually they were replaced with democracy. You can willingly leave a corporation at anytime you want. Autocracy have an advantage over democracy when it comes to speed of change. Sometimes it's good change (progress) and sometimes it's bad change (i.e. over-hiring). Large corporations that become democratic will lose the ability to react quickly. In order for such companies to survive, the environment must remain consistent (no competition, no new technology).

There is an easy solution to this. Make 2 folders. One with stuff for you, one for stuff for kids. Make an account for the kids that can only see kids folder. Make an account for yourself that can see BOTH folders. Isn't stuff like this normal for plex/jellyfin/kodi? Before these media servers I used to organize everything based on genre and if I liked the video or not (watch using vlc)
