I didn't expect in my lifetime that I would see the fall of a great empire. The Greenland things, the Trump-class battleship, and now the wind turbine ban. Is the world going back to my grandparents' time of 1950? Recent sagas of the White House seem to be just like a new episode of "The...

Now I am getting old, my hand slower, my eyesight dimmer and my brain tired. So I can't play a complex RTS game like RA2 competitively anymore. I prefer simpler and slower-paced games like WarCraft II. Oh, good ol' days.

I like to see more articles about historic industrial/military/household technologies, like steam engine, vacuum tube, refrigerator, AM radio, zoom lens, film camera, telescope, newspaper printer, commercial vessel, aircraft, Apollo rocket, fighter jet, microwave oven, vending machine, Apple II...

It is easy. Just give Apple federal subsidiary money at 250 USD per an iPhone., made and sold in the USA. For 70 M iPhones a year sold in the USA, It is just 17.5 billion USD a year. Quite cheap money to bring Apple manufacturing jobs back to the USA. FYI, iPhone sales in the USA generates...

Mr. Trump. I have a good idea on your wish to make Apple iPhone in USA. Make India (or China for that matter) a 52nd state of the USA, after Canada. Then, Voilà! All iPhone become mad in USA. Your wish granted.

RTX4060 MSRP $300. Assuming that RTX5060 will be 30% better price performance over RTX4060, B580 at $250 will have inferior price performance to upcoming RTX5060. Not so attractive to me. To be competitive to RTX5060, B580 price should be less than $200.

Boeing is fixable, but not in a short period like 3 or 5 years, or even 10 years. It takes long time like 10 years to develop a new model of airliner like Boeing 787. It took about 30 years for Boeing to fall from the grace. So it will take another 30 years to recover from the current disgrace...

I leared NEC PC-8001 BASIC, my first programming language, only by the reading a thin booklet with comics without access to any computer. I was impressed with the Monte Calo simulation concept from the booklet. As soon as I got to lay a hand on an Apple II computer finally, I was already familar...

Ridiculous. Apple or MSFT market cap $3 T each. NVidia $1.8 T TSMC $0.5 T Building a latest semiconductor fab costs $0.1T. US Federal Budget 2023: $6 T. US defense budget $0.8T So what he requests is more than yearly US federal budget and 10 years of US defense budgets.

Zod is not that useful in pratice. Breath of the Dying runeword is very good weapon, but not the greatest. 'Indistuctibe' attribute may be useful for uber ethereal item.

It become increasingly difficult to distinguish AI-generated image from real photo. But I am both optimistic and pessimistic on theat level of AI to our society, because both spear (attack) and shield (defense) will getting better as time pass. So general threat level of AI to society will...

We should introduce "public developer license" and"software audit/inspector license" like licensed "arhitect" or "construction inspector" for constructing a building or bridge. For software system development for public or government or that cause public losss or hazard, only professionally...

So I am continuing to use RTX2070 which I bought five years ago, aroune $450 . I never buy any GPU over $500, price point of current gen gaming console. NVidia lost $500 revenue from my wallet.

One advantage of Chinese rocket industry is that they are state-owned insititute so less worry about budget, profitability or survival, no pressure from taxpayers. But I doubt their compatativeness in international launch market.

Matthew 7:3 "why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" And both Intel and AMD are committing same sin: exploiting ignorance of less knowledgeable consumer, who are not aware of such exploitive practice.

Good to hear that. China is new prime enemy of USA like old Soviet USSR. Too much risk to depend supply of device essential for our daily life on them. Vietnam or India are better choice for cheaper labor. I won't buy any Apple device manufactured in China. India and Vietnam have many economic...

It is also price paid to Apple to prevent Apple from starting its own web search service, direct competition with Goole's core (the most lucrative cash cow) business. Apple can benefit by not doing search and ad business.

FYI, light travels in vacuum about 3 nanometers for 1 attosecond.

This is not a humanly possible feat. He must be T-800 from the future.

How about making wordpad open source? so that someone who thinks it is still useful will maintain it in future? It has quite a useful as basic HTML-like text markup editor or some light markup like markdown exitor.
