This make me think of watching "She's Gotta Have It" by Spike Lee. When watching the black and white movie I was blown away by the image depth. It a bright sunlit scene you could see shadows and details in the shade under a tree.

For some reason black and white film always had more dynamic range than color. I don't know why.


> actually AI and not a bunch of very smart though not intelligent algorithms

That is a relatively old philosophy question that won't be resolved any time soon.


Threadripper should win an award for product-naming.


Am I wrong in thinking that blood compatibility is basically a big allergy problem?


More generally, an immunological problem.

But... a huge proportion of all human health problems can be considered immunological problems: overactive immunity (transplant rejections, inflammation disorders like Crohn's) or impaired immunity (inability to recognize cancers, acquired deficiencies from infection i.e. AIDS, etc.).

I love the message, but the messenger is a bit over-the-top (infomercialish).

Not an issue when any electrical ground is at a far distance.


That lineman deserves a raise, no matter what he makes. He falls in the category of workers who are lowered into nuclear reactors to cleans things up.


> I've actually flown helicopters, and it's not that hard.

When all helicopters are quad, tailless, designs flying will be much easier.


Good point. However big quads can't work exactly like little quads. They'll still need collective pitch, which is mechanically more complicated than just throttling rotor power the way little quads do it. Big rotors cannot change RPM quick enough to keep the thing stable. (I expect people are trying, but it's gonna take huge power fluxes to make it work. Easier just to build collective controls.)


> VSCode IS running inside a browser.

I used to be a major contributor and follower of Atom. People commonly asked why Atom couldn't run in the browser. The answer was simple, node and a browser are totally different things. Imagine a browser opening files, starting processes, running arbitrary C-code, etc.

No, VSCode does not normally run in a browser.


Ives said it was relatively easy to swap out the node bits.


He also said that the reason for that was the way the VSCode team structured the code, not because it's "running in a browser already": https://twitter.com/CompuIves/status/1031932607326371843
