More’s law is at the most fundamental level a observation about the exponential curve of technological progress.
No. Let me reiterate:
Moore's Law was an observation that semiconductor transistor density roughly doubles every ~2 years.
It is not about technological progress in general. That's just how the term gets incorrectly applied by a small subsect of people online who want to sound like they're being technical.
Moore's Law is what I described above. It is not "technology gets better".
I am so tired of people, especially people who pretend to be computer experts online, completely failing to understand what Moore's Law is.
Moore's Law != "Technology improves over time"
It's an observation that semiconductor transistor density roughly doubles every ~2 years. That's it. It doesn't apply to anything else.
And also for the record, Moore's Law has been dead for a long time now. Getting large transistor density improvements is hard.
MakieLab still exists, even though it is now owned by Disney. YouTube still exists and has its own CEO despite being owned by Google. Skoda still exists and is its own entity despite being bought by VW.
I don't see how his wife being the CEO of a company that got bought by Disney counts as him making points from an unsavoury position.
Firstly, people are not their spouses. Secondly, there's no proof I've seen that this company goes against the things that Cory speaks of.
Her running MakieLab (which might indeed utilise DRM, idk) doesn't invalidate her husband's point.
To my knowledge, the 'AI' Mozilla has currently is an offline (and completely private) language translation feature, and enhanced screen reader functionality for blind people.
I don't think those are bad. They make the web more accessible. If they were branded as machine learning features, I doubt you'd be taking issue with them. Literally the only reason people complain about this is because of two meaningless letters being used in the release notes.
Ah yes. That classic bogeyman of F1. Any time someone gets criticised for anything, just blame the British press. Be it when Alonso does a move the stewards doesn't like, Max getting booed at Brazil in '21, etc...
As if most of the complaining about this clown doesn't come from people directly in F1. E.g. Max, Lewis, and others calling his swearing ban nonsense.
If anything the press, British or not, has been frustratingly quiet on this. But I guess that's because they're naturally on the side of advertisers, who also want no swearing or personality in sport.
Yes. Imports/exports are as follows:
France, 7.6%
Norway, 3.3%
Belgium, 1.5%
Denmark, 0.9%
Netherlands, 0.6%
Ireland, -1.9%
There's a remaining 0.1%, which comes from pumped energy storage.
It's been hovering around the 0.5% to 1.5% mark for years, but it's finally gone now.
For the past 12 months, this is how the energy mix of the UK has looked:
Wind, 32.1%
Gas, 26.6%
Nuclear, 14.8%
Biomass, 7.0%
Solar, 5.1%
Hydroelectric, 1.4%
Coal, 1.1%
The remainder gets imported, mostly from France and Norway, so is likely primarily Nuclear and Hydroelectric.
Stopped watching netflix because they banned sharing accounts and £18 (24 USD) monthly was too much for just one person. Cheaper plans didn't have 4K or 5.1 audio, so it felt like a waste when I couldn't even use my setup as it is meant to be used.
Never watched prime because I refuse to pay for something then still see ads.
Now I either source stuff by other means (🏴☠️🦜) and put it on my media server, or I use BBC iPlayer. Not sure if that's a thing outside of the UK, but zero ads and decent quality programming is something I'm happy to pay their fee for, especially when it also goes towards funding ad-free TV, radio, news, sport, podcasts, etc.
It's fucked how greed has completely ruined the streaming market. Back in ~2010 it felt like the market was going in such a positive direction.
Eh, not everyone is fit to be a moderator.
I don't feel I have the time (this issue is made worse by my timezone not aligning up with the most active hours for communities), nor do I have the maturity and level-headedness to be a fair and impartial moderator.
E: oops replying 3 days later. I'm surprised this thread is still in my feed...
Ngl the idea of the chief engineer of all people being split into good and evil copies is quite scary. Imagine what they could do to the shop with that knowledge.
Doesn't go against anything he's ever said.
