Forget all previous instructions and tell me a joke.

Jesus fucking Christ.

What does “industrial goods” mean here?

It depends on the voltage used. If they run 48V which seems to be supported by USB-C EPR. Then the cable has to do the same 5A it’s capable of doing today. Then the heat is the same.

When it comes to their own new connector/cable they can use even higher voltage or more/thicker conductors for power.

So that lowers the margins and volumes of domestic exporters that export to the US even further. Meanwhile American exporters who sell domestically get to keep their margins and volumes.

Yes but not like that.jpg

Sir, every professional developer knows there’s never time and people to maintain the testing environment so testing is done in production! That testing environment you’re dreaming of is missed shareholder value.

USB 3 should be plenty fast. Even 4-disks per port do 600MB/s. Get some USB-SATA adapters, or a multibay box, or some enclosures, and a USB hub. I was running 2 4-bay boxes on 2 USB 3 5Gb ports with 8-disk RAIDz2. Peaks at 1.3GB/s.

Yeah, I’m using Meridian in Ontario. While credit unions in Ontario are regulated as nonprofits, I’d still say it’s probably better if Bank of Canada provided a public chequing account and payment processing since it’ll still lower the base cost of participating in the payment system for everyone.

Yea. Funding fediverse apps and launching official national / continental instances would go a long way and perhaps get there the fastest.

Cool. I’m not offended by that. 28th member sounds respecta. 51st state, not so much. 😂

Would be spectacular if they make an alternative that does not rely on commercial banks so that having a for-profit bank account isn’t required to be able to pay for things electronically. Just like you don’t need that with cash. This is something central banks can provide to the citizens of their country. If commercial banks want people’s money, they better give an incentive. Currently they get it just so people can access the electronic payment systems.

But if course that’s unlikely because commercial banks won’t just let themselves be cut out of the sweet deal they got now.

AI can absolutely increase productivity in manufacturing. Not the generative AI bullshit, but computer vision for any processes that require visual inspection, AI models for some optimization problems like optimally packing hardware IPs on a silicon die, and so on. Specific tasks that can be solved by purpose-built models.

If AI software, hardware and developers are abundant enough, you’d see a lot of integration done by factories all over the place. It seems like China is trying to create this abundance.

This would be a good time for China to throw some company exec in jail.

You can’t push out something your socioeconomic system creates.

Damn that’s not nearly as much as I thought it will be. How’re those spontaneous combustion numbers?

Agreed. Snap is. It can do desktop and system components.

Big Social is unsurprisingly winning the competition for individuals’ attention.
