Getting a little water there now is much better than a lot more water later.

The key is to extinguish the fire before it spreads.

Money.

It costs more to hire a human than to not hire a human. Duh.

Who's lying? I RTFA, and I didn't see anything in it that is a lie.

Linus has said he doesn't know Verilog and knows little about FPGA and ASIC design.

RISC-V is an upgraded MIPS, which was a pretty good architecture.

Indeed.

As Douglas MacArthur once said, "There is no substitute for victory."

The real solution is for Democrats to start winning elections again.

Unfortunately, that requires Democrats to address the concerns of working-class voters and talk to people in language they understand.

I don't see that happening.

The next president will still have a Supreme Court dominated by conservatives.

Clarence Thomas is 77, and Sam Alito is 75. They might choose to retire during Trump's last year so other conservatives can replace them.

No other justice is likely to die or retire during the next presidential term.

Any amendment requires approval by three-quarters of the state legislatures.

32 of 50 states voted for Trump.

There is no way that red states are gonna vote against their own interests.

The Dems will have difficulty counter-gerrymandering.

Some states, such as California, have voter-approved non-partisan groups (usually retired judges) do the redistricting. The legislature can't overturn that. It would have to go back to a voter referendum, which is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming.

But a bigger problem is that gerrymandering just doesn't work as well for Democrats. Their voters are more concentrated in urban areas that are easy for Republicans to corral into a few districts, while red voters are spread across broad rural and suburban areas.

Street names are not private information.

This is not about privacy. If it were, it would be consumers complaining, rather than competitors.

Pick-and-place robots for circuit board assembly use path minimization algorithms.

The robot moves over a 2D PCB surface, placing components. Cutting a few seconds off the P&P time can mean big savings.

FPGA and ASIC layout engines also use these algorithms.

According to your link, that relies almost entirely on thorium, which is 400 times more abundant than U-235.

If we rely solely on uranium, we'll run out in only ten million years. Then what?

That's with lithium, not sodium.

It's still early, but this is the stupidest thing I've read so far today.

Have you ever actually used a battery?

Well, we're not gonna run out of sodium.

Tesla cars have nine external cameras.

These trucks have twelve.

They have far better visibility than a human driver.

Self-driving vehicles aren't perfect, but that isn't a reasonable standard.

What matters is that they have a better safety record than human drivers.

These trucks are even safer than other SDVs because they're driving fixed routes that have been mapped, with every sign and marker in the database.

They're also safer than human drivers because they drive slower. Human-driven trucks usually drive the speed limit, which is 75 mph on the Texas portion of I-45. A self-driving truck will go slower to minimize fuel consumption, so 55 mph. A truck going 75 has nearly twice the kinetic energy.
