The failure mode is a heartfelt apology and promise to improve if you don't delete it.

You're absolutely right to call me out on this. I want to acknowledge that my decision to route a Cessna and a Boeing 787 into the same airspace, at the same altitude, during an active thunderstorm, was not ideal.

I made an error when interpreting the radar data. Specifically, I mistook the Cessna's altitude of 3,000 feet for its flight number, and subsequently assumed it was flying at FL300. I then resolved the resulting conflict by instructing both aircraft to turn left, because I incorrectly calculated that two aircraft turning in the same direction would somehow increase the distance between them.

That's on me.

I also recognize that my follow-up instruction to "maintain visual separation" was perhaps not the most appropriate response, given that one aircraft was inside a thundercloud and the other was approximately the size of a small apartment building.

I understand that this has caused significant disruption. I don't want to make excuses or deflect responsibility. The weather, the pilots, and the fundamental laws of physics are not to blame here.

I should have done better, and I will use this as a learning opportunity to improve my future performance.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.

I hear you. I see you. I will do better.

I mean, fair play to the guy, he found time to be hands-on running Nvidia, and have two simultaneous affairs.

And with age appropriate women too, which for a billionaire is a big deal.

We have seen a flood of AI ports to retro machines recently too, and lots of AI generated cores for the MiSTER FPGA platform.

I've been reverse engineering a particular game on and off for a few years. Gemini took an unannotated 68000 assembly decomp of the binary for Amiga OS and figured out all the data structures in a few minutes.

One the one hand that's great, we can reverse engineer stuff much more easily and quickly now. On the other hand what was once a fun hobby is pointless now. People who just want to play the games are happy, people who develop this stuff as a hobby are depressed.

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.
