Generative AI can be a huge timesaver but the people doing the task need to actually know how to do the task, if only so they can provide reasonable instruction to the computer. All these get-rich-quick clowns falling on their faces are trying to shortcut years of knowledge and experience. Knowing excel really well does not make one an accountant. And this is compounded by the fact that excel gives predictable output, which is not the case with generative AI.

GE already has a 68.7m 2-piece blade for several years now.

Well I have some bad news for you, GE already has a 68.7m 2-piece blade for several years now.

Customers don't like it at all but it seems to be OK. The 68.7 blade (including the single piece version) has some other issues but the connection hasn't been particularly troublesome, all things considered.

Seems clear that they received a legal demand that included a non-disclosure provision. While they may not be a provision established by legislation for this in Switzerland, judges usually have a fair amount of freedom in writing injunctions.

eSIM makes it much quicker and easier to swap SIMs. In fact, being able to have many eSIMs on your phone that you can quickly switch between (for example while traveling) or having multiple simultaneously active is one of its biggest benefits. It is equivalent to or better than physical SIMs in literally every way except for the ease of moving a SIM between different devices.

Scientists have found that a drug known to have profound effects on the brain can have profound effects on how people think and behave. That's not surprising in the least. Psychedelics were the most promising mental health treatments ever when they were discovered, psychiatrys equivalent of insulin and penicillin. Then research was shut down for over 60 years because some people enjoyed overdosing them for fun. It's no surprise to me that LSD and other drugs still do "things" to people and some of those things can be beneficial.

It's not, that graph shows that Intel's R&D spend has been consistently rising, nearly triple what it was fifteen years ago. And that's consistent with the ever-rising cost of R&D on new process nodes. That never ends, you always need to be working on the next process node, and the costs to develop each node only ever go up.

It's also currently a wasted investment. Intel's been dumping enormous sums of money trying to develop new process nodes, but their 18A (1.8nm) node is suffering from unacceptably low yields, their 20A (2nm) node was cancelled entirely, and their 3nm node was so bad that Intel made their CPUs with TSMC 3nm instead of Intel 3nm. In fact, Intel's current generation of CPUs (Arrow Lake) are made *entirely* by TSMC. None of the active silicon uses Intel process nodes. The compute tile is TSMC 3nm, the graphics tile is TSMC 5nm, the SoC and I/O extender tiles are TSMC 6nm. Only the passive interposer is made by Intel... on a 22nm process node.

The program runs ads on their podcasts which are downloaded in other countries. I can't be bothered to VPN my way out of it I'm sure this at least covers server costs and a bit more.

The SNES launched at $472 USD, adjusted for inflation. It also did not include a second controller. The Nintendo Switch 2 costs $449 USD, not $525. I'm not sure where your street price comes from, as the console is currently in stock for MSRP at all major Canadian retailers, and in the US, it's available for immediate shipping at MSRP from Nintendo's own website, so there's no reason that anybody would ever pay more than MSRP.

It's true that the SNES included a pack-in game for that price, and the Switch 2 price with a pack-in game is $499, which is a bit more expensive. But it's not that far off.

I think they're going too far as soon as they're making medical claims without some sort of medical certification. And on their residential product page, they specifically say that their air purifiers were "Developed to address COVID-19", and in their FAQ, they say "The powerful ISO-Aire filtration system was purpose-built to address COVID-19 and other droplet and/or airborne-based infections in healthcare settings."

They repeatedly mention the CDC on their website, and in most places just word it along the lines of the CDC recommending medical-grade HEPA filtration as a strategy. However, on their "Why Iso-Aire" page, they word it as "CDC and ASHRAE recommended in purifying the air with medical-grade HEPA filtration, a key mitigation strategy in the fight against COVID-19" which implies that their produces specifically are recommended by the CDC, which they are not.

If you look at Iso-Aire's website, they're going way beyond the definition of MERV and claiming that their products were "developed to address COVID-19". Most air purifiers will just make a claim about capturing X% of particles of Y micron size.

Lead times for large gas turbines are longer than 3 years now. Projects are now being planned for construction in the early 2030s. Not so simple. Residential customers will suffer (they already have) with high bills as the big data centers continue to pay much lower industrial rates.

The EPA would be the biggest applicable one. If there were "adversarial" foreign investors or equipment suppliers, particularly Chinese ones, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) can get involved, but less than 5% of projects fall under this. Probably more like 1-2%, this generally has only happened when Enercon makes attempts to gain market share.

I did say "all the reputable ones". I've never heard of "Iso-Aire", and none of their products are available for sale in any major retailer that I can find. Or any minor retailers either, from what I can tell.

The wind blows everywhere. The simplest example is that Texas is #1 for wind power in the US, by a lot. The only West Coast state in the top 10 is California at number 8. The middle part of the country still has vast tracts of land with economical wind potential. Wind farms are typically constructed on farmland or ranchland, the corn and the cows don't care a bit. I've seen plenty of farmers even plant right across access roads, although this is probably from laziness more than a planned business practice. The largest projects might physically occupy 50 or so acres within a boundary of 8,000 to 30,000 acres. The argument that somehow this is causing a run on land is pure fiction.
