  • IMO Graham is a better example because he still had a reputation of principles at the time, being friend with McCain and in general being outspoken.

    Cruz never had any of that. Everybody hates Ted Cruz, even his close colleagues and family.

  • Veritasium did a video about it, with data to back it up. They took old video and reposted them with and without clickbait titles and images. The difference of views is staggering. People just like it o suppose.

  • Wait until you learn about the government. To get your birth or marriage certificate, my county requires that you go to a totally shady URL of a private company that actually is in the business of printing those and shipping them, for a fee of course. Oh and enter your SSN and ID please, without knowing if there’s any security standards they follow.

    Am I the only one spooked that the government would not keep those records itself??? And ask a private entity that returns almost nothing if googled by name?!?

  • The web is already federated. Anyone can start their own web server and compete with everyone.

    The problem is WEI will prevent you from using unauthorized browsers with, for example, Netflix or YouTube or your bank, if those services decide to force WEI.

    Federating those services is near to impossible for various reasons. People could make competing services that don’t enforce WEI, and some people have.

  • OP’s question is very vague. I would argue that the PS2 was indeed capable of “128 bits computing”, even if it isn’t technically a 128 bits computer.

    I’m also pretty sure the comment was tongue in cheek.

  • He’s right though. It would be the same instructions but bigger potential numbers. Faster in some use cases, slower in others. But it would look the same.

    Unless you can describe your question in a more precise and technical manner, this is similar to asking how would it feel to the touch…

  • There are already special instruction sets that deal with 128 and up bits. Many SIMD. AVX-512 for example deals with 512 bits at a time.

    At this point the advantage is parallelization and specialization of operations. AVX can be used for video encoding/decoding for example, or crypto, ...

  • The resolution is virtual. If this can attain the same pitch/ppi as your eye can see, then you can create infinite monitors around you and you can switch around by turning your head. A very different experience than physical monitors. That’s what I meant, but it’s also what Apple is selling.

  • They’re selling it as a working aid, and monitor replacement. Like an iPad with infinite display size and resolution. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t just send emails and have video conferences with it all day.

  • I’m an engineer with trade secrets on his laptop. I’ve heard of dozens of people getting laptops stolen from their cars that they left for like ten or fifteen minutes.

    The chances are slims, but if it happens I’m in deep trouble whether those secrets leak of not. I’m not taking the risk. I’m encrypting my disk.

    It’s not like there’s a difference in performance nowadays.
