I recently got a folding e-bike in a city with great public transport (a folding bike can be carried along at any time, regular bikes only outside rush hours). Now I can be anywhere in the city within about 20mins, which is very liberating. I'm actually faster than going by car due to being able to bypass traffic jams, and not even including the 20mins+ needed for finding a parking spot.

It's GNU/Linux::undefined!

Not really. Even the original authors only claim a 1 in 10 success rate, so failures to replicate aren't that surprising.

Exactly what people predicted would happen when Apple released iOS app support for Apple Silicon Macs. Why develop a separate app when people can just install the touch-optimized version?

I personally am not willing to gloss over the stupidity of Musk and fix his mistakes. I am calling it X and Xers just to emphasize how stupid he is.

That article is nearly a month old.

Once elected President again, couldn’t he just pardon himself of all federal crimes and not visit any of those states where he's convicted? They probably won’t extradite the President.

He will get the pardon power again once he’s re-elected (while sitting in prison probably). The US electorate is really that stupid.

Those two things aren’t remotely comparable. Solar roadways are technically totally possible without any new inventions, they are just a fundamentally stupid idea.

The whole point of replication by other groups is to rule out parlor tricks. If it can be replicated by independent labs and even works in simulations, it’s real. That’s why this is a preliminary paper at the moment.

The fact that Trump doesn’t even want to commit to pardoning the people who tried to overthrow the government for him should get them to make a brief pause and think things over.

There's also another big reason why fixing energy generation is top priority: the way to fix maritime shipping, aviation and personal transportation is to move them to electric trains, which needs more electric power.

The reason so much stuff is shipped around the world is that it’s produced in low-income countries because it’s cheaper, not because it’s actually necessary to be produced there. Often, the raw materials come from somewhere else as well, so stuff is shipped around the world twice.

• That didn't happen.
• And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
• And if it was, that's not a big deal. <- WE ARE HERE
• And if it is, that's not my fault.
• And if it was, I didn't mean it.
• And if I did, you deserved it.

It's a very different thing when a browser with negligible market share does that.

Then we should build a huge battery right there in their lab and let it store energy for the whole world.

We get one of those about once a year, and none of them have been replicated yet.

You seem to be more worried about UX than those sites. At least in the EU, the user has to click through a multi-step wizard about cookie stuff to get to any content on every site these days. This wizard is not mandated by law, but these sites choose to use it anyways, just to squeeze a bit more money out of their visitors.

To me, it sounded like they'd just randomly not send the DRM information sometimes. So, the fix for web sites would be to tell the user to reload until the information is passed along.

A right-wing propaganda tool needs people outside of the right wing to look at it. He’s far too embedded into that space to be able to appeal to other groups.

It wasn't branch prediction alone, it was the cache combined with branch prediction. The problem is that even discarded outcomes fill the cache with data. Those older vulnerabilities also had the problem that the access permissions check was done after the branch prediction. It's probably too expensive to do when it's not even clear yet whether the branch is going to be taken (that's just speculation on my part though).
