If by "will go back" you mean "will be deported". If they're even allowed to stay long enough to graduate...

Make it an Xbox game -- try to import things while avoiding / minimizing tariffs.
(Ironically, there will probably be a tariff on the game.)

The way integrated GPUs typically work is they're a chiplet: a separate die in a package with some other dies, like the CPU. If you shove a Blackwell or whatever die into a package with a CPU it's going to have the same power and heat dissipation requirements as if it were by itself, but complicated because it's physically co-located with the other hottest part of the computer.

You save a bit on cost and maybe a bit on space with integrated graphics, but not really that much. the actual GPU chip isn't very big, and it's the same die you have to shove in that integrated package anyway. The big advantages to integrated are not size, weight, power or head, but a fast bus between the CPU and GPU and, usually, direct access to system memory.

So what benefits from a fast GPU with high CPU bandwidth and lots of relatively slow memory? Not games. AI.

It's not just that. People exhibit overconfidence all the time. From social media and casual conversation to public policy, It's a deep cognitive bias in our species.

Religion is maybe the best example. Don't know what the fuck is going on? Just make up a story that sounds good.

I have an induction oven that can melt the steel your wok is made of.

Reading comprehension is important. As is attention to detail.

What's the long-term game-plan for "smart" / connected appliances? My Whirlpool refrigerator was left by the previous owner when I bought my house in 1993, so it's at least 32 years old, and we got our Kenmore washer and dryer in 1993. All three still run great. On a related note, my 2001 Civic and 2002 CR-V are still running well. Thankfully, none of my appliances/cars have this crap. Are companies planning on supporting these "smart" / connected features and touch screens for 30+ years? History so far says nope.

The matte coating decreases contrast. People like contrasty displays, and most people don't use them outside. I wouldn't be surprised if matte coatings also reduce the resolution on high resolution displays significantly.

OpenAI's models, and most of the LLMs, are trained at least in part by having humans rate their conversations. That's what the "chat" in chatGPT stands for. Humans apparently rate chat partners that make up truthy sounding stuff more highly than chat partners that admit they don't know.

That's a useful finding for a company that makes LLMs. It should be an interesting observation for people who talk to other people too.

I'm sure he does. You can buy an induction heater that will be happy to melt steel for $20 off Aliexpress. There are lots of DIY plans for them too, although I doubt you could beat that $20.

The claim that you can't get things hot enough with induction is ridiculous. Induction is what you use when cheap old gas isn't hot enough. If you want even hotter, you use microwaves.

Yup, 'cause the Taliban is known for giving up easily and being lenient to people breaking morality decrees. /s

I don't believe you that anyone bitched about the loss of the floppy drive.

Too young maybe? Releasing an iMac without a floppy drive had much the same impact as releasing an iPhone without a 3.5" headphone jack. A lot of the old articles have disappeared, and apparently the Slashdot comments, but e.g.

https://apple.slashdot.org/sto...

https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...

There were a LOT of articles written about it. Tech journalist careers were made.

Sure. Lots of people use DB-9 serial ports and even some parallel ports too. There's apparently even some Firewire stuff still around.

Doesn't mean we need them on every laptop.

There are different kinds of surveys. Established government survey programs in general, and the US Current Employment Statistics survey specifically, aren't usually just a random phone call. The CES is something a business agrees to do once a month for a period of time. For small businesses that seems to be about 3 years, and for large ones it's more indefinite.

It is voluntary, but the alternative is to make it compulsory. The montly CES is voluntary but quarterly reporting is not. Censuses and some census related surveys are usually compulsory but more frequent surveys are usually voluntary.
