Lots of gravity battery options, including dams.

You need to change that title says a decentralized currency like Bitcoin can act as a reserve currency. Most likely a Proof of Stake currency, not proof of work. He is NOT recommending that bitcoin itself be that reserve currency.

Your title is misleading.

This is just old news with a new skin. What is a program, platform or a system? Are you building microservice or monolithic architecture? How does serverless skills like Lamda/Fuctions fit into a program workflow?

If history is any lesson, good luck applying today's terms to tomorrow's architecture.

I work in this area for a big 3 cloud. We are trying to understand how to best describe our platform design. Is each step/skill a modular agent, or do you wrap everything into an agent that represents an entire workflow. If you hit 5 SLMs and one LLM, is that 6 agents or one master agent. It's not really a problem. The language is fluid until we get a better understanding of an agentic workflow stack.

I'm sure Trad AI neural network stacks dealt with similar nomenclature challenges.

We might have an agent that only does OCR. Even current LLM "models" are synthesis of multiple internal steps, including meta-prompting and responsible AI guardrails.

Birds aren't real is kinda genius. This is the type of satire we need in this desperate hour.

Got an Ioniq 5 in Sept. Been planning on switching the primary car to EV for a long time. NACS switch is great; I will be using an adapter on current car (J1772) for the next few years...but wasn't a deal breaker. Car isn't perfect, but very nice. Not an SUV, came from a subaru crosstrek, these are just AWD cars, maybe crossover?...we need a better term.

What put it over the top was the paddle shifting for different regenerative states. Switching to coast for highway or long stretches, then i-pedal for city or stop signs is great. Gives me something to do to optimize...miss my old stick.

I think there is a special place in the underworld for people like this causing mayhem, pain and collateral damage to many...for the lolz, and maybe showing off how someone or some company made a mistake or poor implementation even though they has best intentions (eg banning cheaters). Trolls be trolls, but I hope a comeuppance is on the way. Shame this person didn't learn any of those lessons on the playground. Same vein as a doxxer.

Try building a financial model in anything else but excel..then tracing dependencies and auditing it if there are problems. You just can't do that anywhere else but excel (RIP Lotus 123). If you just need to track details for your PTA then Google sheets are fine. If you need Xlookup and Macros, excel stands alone.

They are the only site with deep articles on CPU subsystems. Is there anywhere else that I can find that same type of Zen architecture research? I will miss them. I can't watch videos for tech new. Long live long form tech content...if Arstechnica goes away, not sure what I will do.

How many applications are running their AI workloads locally instead of as a cloud API service? I would guess very few.

Why is this even a post? Local AI hardware isn't really a thing, particularly in addition to the GPU that I'm already running.

Do we get pissed when a game incorporates features that you had to use a Mod to get, No. Of course any product looks at features of interest in the market, normally from 3P or plugins to decide what to add to a 1P product.

We should stop trying to make this a thing.

3P, apps and add-ons are going to test the waters and move much faster then the core 1P platform can move. After something is successful, those features eventually make it into the core system and are available at scale to more users. Something with mods and games. Many modders and app builders end up with jobs at the mothership. "This is the way", really nothing to see here...move along.

It seems like this causes the highway traffic to stop very regularly just to solve the left hand turn issues.

I don't know enough about road and civil engineering to understand how much more an overpass would cost. If you just raise one lane, the outgoing (to interstate) traffic could branch off from the elevated lane, then the incoming (from interstate) traffic could route under the overpass to meet the non-elevated lane. Wouldn't require any stop lights, switch sided driving or left turns. but would need an elevated overpass at every intersection.

From the guardian perhaps this is focused on UK/EU adoption of larger vehicles, which might increase net gas consumption. General take is SUVs have lower MPG than cars, so higher adoption of SUVs are bad. Simplistic at best.

From the US point of view, there is a driver/passenger safety (AWD, and higher positioned vehicle) and comfort aspect to SUVs. I think this is predominantly that SUVs are taking share from other low MPG vehicles including pickup trucks, mini-vans, station wagons etc. Also many SUVs are smaller than old generation. A Subaru CrossTrek AWD gets about 30 mpg. It's just the new version of what a sedan used to be.

Did the suspect have a Polaroid with a dog? Most of us have seen that movie.

Microsoft is buying a significant amount of that carbon offset, now if we could just create and incentive structure for the fossil fuel industry to either buy credits or build the same devices.
