All the things you wrote, but also quality. Quality is a giant issue. Garbage usability. Excel is the only Microsoft product I thoroughly respect. The amount of things you can't do in PowerPoint for example is mind blowing.

It's about the thermal conductivity.

Helium has 150mW/mK vs Argon ~18mW/mK so you can't replace it.

The only alternatives to Helium are Neon, which is 3x worse and much more expensive, and hydrogen. However, hydrogen is flammable so it's a very bad idea to use it in a fab which has extremely poisonous gases and needs a cleanroom environment. A fire would ruin your whole factory and kill your engineers.

Yes but how do you do that? that magical third electrode sounds harder to make than the original problem.

Edit: I think I get it now, it's a chemical reaction. By applying a voltage with some polarity to the 3rd electrode you can run the reaction in reverse. Still very hard to achieve because you have to make sure the reactions happen at the same rate with the same efficiency, which is far from trivial. This must be a very high end sensor for all this effort to make sense.

I've been to the Mediterranean several times. They eat a ton of (delicious) super oily food, sausages, meats, eggs, fish (often fried or deep fried), salty cheeses, greasy stuff, tons of white bread, lots of wine. Fat chance to find someone eating avocados, kale, or quinoa, and proteins are not at all minimized.

The Mediterranean diet is like a Californian wellness type of person's idea of what the actual Mediterranean diet is.

Keep up at it. Without pressuring, or without making it the elephant in the room uncomfortable topic that makes them avoid you. One day you will catch them in a good day.

I find that just about everybody is leaking my data. Either on purpose or accidentally. But at the end of the day I do want to order those online exotic vegetables and have very little choice of sites to do it in my country. At this point I don't care anymore. Maybe I should but in a sense it's too late. It's been decades of leaked information, I'm certain the advertising companies know me better than my friends. And still royally fail at selling me stuff. They likely use this info for more nefarious things.

I hate that 90% of the effort on the internet is about stealing information from users and serving invasive ads.

I don't quite disagree but this comparison is typically unfair, because when you really know about a subject you tend to ask way more difficult questions than about other subjects, so of course the LLMs are gonna struggle more. If you ask really basic questions they will regurgitate well known bachelor-level knowledge and look good. What do I know about biology anyway? about silos for grain storage? any passable answer is enough to wow me on those topics. But on the topics I really know about, I never ask the basics.

It's not blame, it's useful feedback. For a large application you have to understand what different parts are doing and how everything is put together, otherwise no amount of tools will save you.

It's very difficult. It took ASML 20 years, and Apple has none of the core competences to make this happen, like optical lithography, EUV optics, plasma physics, vacuum, laser, sources...and then they would have to catch-up to the other tech. For example, today's top end ASML stages accelerate with >10g while still having nm position accuracy.

What a stunning interactive visualization. I wonder what tool was used here?

Edit: Here's their template https://github.com/distillpub/template/tree/master

As I feared, they seem to be using D3.js "by hand", which is the only way to achieve such high quality but needs IMO an enormous amount of work and dedication. No wonder they are offline, that's hard to sustain. I hope a technology comes that makes it significantly easier to make such interactive charts. I know there are many out there, but there's always a "but".

The fact that you say "Europe" like it's not a block of 40+ countries each with its own language and culture is telling.

Second, what you and me consider to be good service is probably quite different.

I agree it's not going to end here, but I disagree on the reason. China doesn't rely on oil that much anymore as they have leaned heavily into nuclear and solar; further, Iran only provides about 12%.

Reports are that if Iran keeps things going on, Israel is going to run out of interceptors in 10 days or so, at which point they are gonna be seriously damaged. Some missiles are already getting through, there's speculation of hyper-sonic missiles from Iran or just failure to shoot them down.

Either way: This doesn't stop here, and it was never about these bogus nuclear weapons (which are just around the corner since the 80's) just like Iraq was not about weapons of mass destruction. They want to place a puppet government...what could go wrong?
