Lower wages and lower research budgets in Europe are very tangible problems.
The reason USA attract so many high level scientists and researchers, is that they throw more money at it.
Despite that, I'm sure most researchers will find that you can do more with less here in Europe, both on research and with your private economy. And quality of life seems to me to be miles ahead compared to USA.
Keep it under running water for ½ an hour, at the level that is the most comfortable.
Don't make it too cold, but cold enough to ease the burning sensation.
That's a weird editorializing of the headline, for an article that describes wide spread use, and a market of rapidly growing value.
For instance a sentence like these:
This is no longer experimentation; it’s habit formation at an unprecedented scale.
This rapid adoption drives real dollars: In the two and a half years since OpenAI’s ChatGPT introduced the public to generative AI, consumer AI has become a multibillion-dollar market.
One of the most surprising findings? Parents are among the most engaged AI users, turning to AI for everyday help.
Even ChatGPT, with its first-mover advantage, only converts about 5% of its weekly active users into paying subscribers
Considering there's a pretty strong free option, 5% is not bad.
How many pay for using Youtube? IDK but my guess is that it is way less than 5%.
How many pay for using search? My bet is that we are in the thousandth on that. Yet search is profitable!
Because the development of new Smartphone SOC has been very strong, and the new ones really are better in multiple ways. The gains are far from minimal. There are also huge improvements in display, camera and modem technology. For the processing power the improvements are especially big when you look at PPW figures.
Regarding cheap phones, you can get very feature rich very usable smartphones dirt cheap now, that are both way better and way cheaper than just a few years ago. It used to be that cheap phones lacked features like GPS and NFS, even motion sensors could be limited, and they certainly didn't have bluetooth. Now all that is generally included even in cheap phones, and they have good screens too, even a modest IPS screen which is dirt cheap can be pretty good nowadays. So the progress is for all.
My wife just bought a phone that was cheaper than her old phone, but still it's is way better.
The reason they all make better phones is due to this thing we call competition. If all brands except one stopped making better phones, the one that continues making them better will take marketshare from everybody else, and have by far the best profits, because the highest profits are with the best phones.
PS: Something that is also new in "standard" phones is that they have way better water protection. It used to be you would have to buy an ugly bulky phone to have that, now you can get standard phones with good IPS ratings, so you don't have to worry about using them in the rain.
Contrary to you, I find the continued development of better phones amazing. Latest phone I bought was twice what I thought I'd ever spend, and that was because I wanted a good camera. The new Cameras are so freaking great, that if you ever tried taking pictures with an old film camera, that needed the film developed at a shop to get them on paper.
What we have now is way beyond what I ever imagined possible, but really so is just about everything with a modern smartphone.
They really are marvels of technology that some people just take for granted.
But research the SOC, The Camera, GPS or the motion sensors, even a modest motion sensor utilize quantum theory technology, comparing the synchronization of 2 meeting light waves, and the feature cost less than a dollar to make!
This is what the future was supposed to be, unfortunately only smartphones have delivered beyond our dreams, everything else is turning to shit.
Yeah farming or mining whatever you can do.
They sell everything for real money, complete accounts with upgraded characters, or rare items or whatever has value in a game.
Interesting. How was this data extracted?
AFAIK Linux is not doing well in China, and China has been known to skew the Steam stats a lot before. China uses bots heavily on Steam for mining in games.
Anyways it's cool that we can see Linux is doing well on Steam now, despite influential factors like China.
It would be interesting to see the amount of purchases made on Linux vs other operating systems. I think that's the number that counts more than anything else.
Except the supreme court is breaking with many decades of legal practice.
I'd argue the current supreme court has been stacked to follow a political agenda over upholding the law. Which makes the supreme court itself illegal in their practice of the law.
Which is why it is insane that Americans have kept allowing this since George Bush! To a point where the system now is completely broken.
As are most at that age, except it would have to be +, because if you go minus 1 at 16, it's illegal! But you do not present any real argument only your opinion.
But really that wasn't what I meant at all, what I was referring to was the ability to decide for yourself at the age of 16. Which most countries find you can.
Considering he is above the age of consent it is obviously NOT pedophilia.
If she had been a neighbor it would be legal. The reason it isn't is because she is a figure of authority. Which technically from a legal perspective makes it rape.
In 14 US states it is actually legal!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent
Are you really saying 14 states have legalized pedophilia?
Do you even remember how it is to be 16?
My sister has been happily married to her husband who is 15 years older than her for 30+ years, are you saying my brother in law is a pedophile because of the age difference?
You are judgemental and pushing your norms on other people. And it's disgusting you have so many upvotes!
I had decided to resign from this debate, but some of the comments here, like yours are just so far beyond what lawmakers have decided in by far the most countries it's insane. Are you also considering LGBT immoral?
It's wrong yes, but the term pedo should be reserved for when it's justified, which it isn't here.
Considering I linked the info from wikipedia, this must be the stupidest comment in this thread.
Age of a consent is a common thing in all countries, but the age is different.
Safroadu Yeboah-Amankwah, Intel's Chief Strategy Officer will be leaving the company as of today,
I thought the S was for scientific, because technology wise Intel has not been doing well for a long time.
But the S is strategy, and although he was only there for 5 years, Intel sure needs new strategies, because the old ones from when Intel was a near monopoly hasn't worked for more than a decade now, and apparently Safroadu hasn't been able to turn it around.
Time will tell if Lip-Bu Tan's new strategy of trying to build a leaner Intel will work in the long term,
Problem is that recent decisions after Gelsinger don't show much promise, like just making a goal of higher profit margins is not the right kind of goal to set, when your products are not ready for it. There is no vision, and therefore no real goals.
Time is running out for Intel, because TSMC is powering even further ahead, Samsung is still in the game and does not have financial problems, and China is lurking in the shadows. I do not believe being fourth in production in 5-10 years will be a money making position.
X86 is the only thing that is still a money maker for Intel, but desktop use is declining fast, and AMD continues to take server marketshare, and Arm could very likely threaten X86 way more in the future, as Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and other major server players, take control of their own hardware with Arm. And Microsoft is experimenting with Arm for windows to potentially transition laptops first and desktops later, like Apple did.
So in short, righting up the giant tanker in the storm like Intel is in, is far from an easy task, they are caught between a rock and a hard place. Hopefully for them, they can get smarter people than me to manage the task, but as it looks, the people they have on it, are not smart enough.
