My worry is that if it is a medical device it will be needlessly expensive. Often these things are only really available to people once the price falls.

They want to spy on us, they don't want us spying on each other.

He had time to be the CEO of a trillion dollar company and was apparently quite hands-on (pun intended), while having two simultaneous affairs.

He could have found time to meet people, he didn't have to date subordinates.

His soon to be ex wife could do a lot of good with her half. Let's hope she is as philanthropic as MacKenzie Scott.

Hmm, as much as I hate to defend Nvidia, that just sounds like innovating and following the money. They made raytracing viable in games, they make upscaling finally decent (and then made it shittier with too much AI), and they jumped on the AI bandwagon once ChatGPT proved useful.

As annoying as it is, the video game market is not nearly as profitable as the AI one is. People keep buying their GPUs anyway, and they know that the moment AMD has a slightly better product those same people will switch brand so there is no loyalty anywhere.

I know some people who are really hoping these become available to people with disabilities, because they would be extremely useful. For people with things like face blindness they could recognize people they know. For people with vision problems they could recognize dangers and describe the scene in front of them.

So I think it's worth asking if they could be made private enough to be acceptable. Obviously it can't be left in the hands of any tech company, but legislation could maybe work.

It would make be question the reliability of those UPS systems if they can't get basic stuff like that right. Randomizing anything where multiple units doing it at the same time could be an issue is pretty basic engineering.

They were probably getting a lot of cancellations.

At least we have divorce laws now. When Bezos' wife got half his money, it was a very good thing for the world. She has done far more good with it than he ever will. Maybe Jensen's wife will too.

I tried by a moment after it opened two thirds of the screen was covered by a giant ad telling me I needed to subscribe to read it.

All the early ones seem to be kinda janky, but the idea was compelling and there wasn't really anything else like it - an open world criminal simulator.

Everyone was struggling to make the transition to 3D back then, so we shouldn't be too harsh on the first 3D GTA game. I tried V out and found it was just a bit awkward to play. Might have been my controller or something. I mostly stick to 2D and some Dreamcast era 3D stuff now.

During this time China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Having visited, I can see that many of them enjoy a good standard of living. In fact some of the apartments and homes I was in are much, much nicer than the ones in the UK. They looked like something out of a catalogue. I could hardly believe that people were living there, with kids and pets no less.

While it's far from universal, it's still hundreds of millions of people. When it comes to quality of life, things like air pollution matter. EVs reduce that considerably. By adopting renewables we can have a better standard of living. It's not a loss, it's a huge gain.

You can slice it different ways. China is at over 4PW/year renewable generation, the US is around 1.1PW/year.

I think per capita emissions are the fairest way, but we should also look at how fast each country is installing renewables.

Remember all the whining about how we would have to go back to being an agrarian society and suffer a massive decline in living standards to get to net zero?

China is proving that isn't true. In fact, it's proving that all the fearmongering about net zero costing us too much is nonsense, and it's actually a huge economic opportunity. They can't make solar panels, wind turbines, EVs, batteries and all the other stuff fast enough to satisfy the huge demand. The energy produced is the cheapest available, which further boosts their manufacturing.

We do need to do a lot more. China needs to do a lot more. But you can't also expect people to accept poverty to get it, so the only way it will work is if we ramp up the transition to a better lifestyle and lower costs as quickly as possible.

What other fair measure is there? Unless you expect China to somehow reduce its population to US levels, per-capital is the only way to do it.

And let's not forget that a lot of those emissions are things made for American companies and sold to Americans.
