I thought that only applied to their consumer products.

So in the press release they mention the release of a 144 core two chip cpu. They also mention that NVLink is coming to ALL their products. Why weren't those in the headline?

I'm trying to find more information, I know they're was at least one study of a Canadian soldier who survived an explosion inside the radius that he should have died due to the pressure wave.

It has something to do with the pressure wave and how it changes with distance, since I posted that comment I've been looking for more information but I don't know the right terms.

I don't know about nukes, but large conventional bombs have an unintuitive survival distance profile. Something like <10 units away, you die, 10-20 units away, you can survive, 20-30 units away you die, >30 units away you survive.

Can burn hydrogen.

The presentation says 60%

The g is silent. It's pronounced "if".

Use the sun as a lens and you won't need a megastructure.

It doesn't have to succeed to cause problems.

Here in Canada all the modem/router combo units from large providers are gigabit for LAN. In pretty sure that it's been that way for at least 5 years.

I'm pretty sure new PCs and laptops have had gigabit standard for probably about 10 years.

Enthusiast and prosumer motherboards are now coming with 2.5 gigabit networking.

If it doesn't have to be a Pi and just needs to be ARM, then AWS, GCP and Oracle all offer ARM instances and the ability to have custom images. I'm pretty sure they all have options that cost less than .05 USD an hour for on demand, and I know that GCP and AWS have tons of free credit available.

Would have liked to see more color analysis, like a graph showing the number of distinct colours per icon.

Better pay, better working conditions.

Is there another game that supports direct interaction between everyone in a group of as many players as EVE supports?

If you look at the developer blogs for EVE Online, you'll have endless reading about massive scale multiplayer servers. Possibly the most technically impressive massively multiplayer experience

The example of a selfie is in fact, not a selfie.

For something to be considered clickbait it generally needs to be significantly deceptive.

Well considering that this behavior only appears in specific situations, I'm inclined to believe the bug claim.

This is a bug. The intended behaviour is to notify the user that tried to send the link.

Doesn't make it okay.

Calling it a tungsten cube is incredibly accurate. Not very precise though.

If you're gonna be pedantic then try to do a good job of it.

Every material more dense than tungsten costs more than tungsten, and the same goes for anything that even close close. Only thing you need to do to determine if you were screwed or not is measure the density. Since it's a cube the only thing you need is a ruler and a scale.

As for the value to a consumer. That comes almost entirely from its density not its hardness, something you'd know if you read OP.

As for the "vastly inflated prices" if you have the ability to produce and sell 1 kilogram cubes with the side length of an inch and a half for significantly less than OP paid then you should consider selling that information and retiring.

I find the theory that the NSA knows something about quantum computing that the public does not a bit compelling. Mainly because it is a seemingly simple explanation.

The papers primary argument against this theory seems to be that the NSAs budget for related work is not high enough to suggest that they are concerned about this or have the capability of discovering this. However, I believe that it is likely that this budget was allocated before these revelations about quantum computing. And that the discovery did not have to come from quantum computing research.

The next argument is more compelling, it references experts saying that this type of development is not coming soon. But this could possibly incorrect of the scale of investment by an entity is much larger than publically known.

For there to be something that the NSA knows that the public does not, it would probably have to have been discovered by an entity with more funding. Like another nation, and the NSA found out about it through intelligence collection.

For this to be the case, an entity would have to have invested significantly and also leaked the results of this investment. Or perhaps just the scale of the investment leaked and that was enough to elicit concern.

In short, the most straight forward explanation is IMO more plausible than the paper suggests.

The basic premise of the state is that it exists to protect life & property.

culture of free expression once enjoyed in the U.S.

I stopped reading here, there have always been inhibitors of free expression in the U.S. to suggest otherwise is to show one's ignorance of the history of the topic at hand.
