Why? The social environment the judge probably includes lots of lawyers.

He needs to take care of them. Snitches get stitches.

I wonder what's with the moonshots side of the business of Google and could they scale that.

They are still very strong in versatile r&d. And AI would open many new opportunities.

Often it's not even labor.

Given the right guidance and difficulty level, I would enjoy fixing things in my washing machine.

You could use Scala, get the strong typing, but also get access to the Java and also Python/JS libraries and others via various interop mechanisms Java has.

And you also get compile times so long you’ll never run out of tokens!

I kid, I kid, but seriously …

"sbt --client" is really fast for me, and I'm using derivation and implicit scope etc. super warm JVM, incremental compiles.

Unless some disrutive technology comes along in 5 years time. And many are working on exactly that.

Higher density, less power. Those are the bottlenecks in current and new data centers that are built out.

So it's not exactly about cost savings, but having the option to do more, faster.

Also, you could also get much higher bandwidth density out of this vs HDD, and this is great for AI training

If 40% of the F50 are already using this, and others too, why aren't we already seeing a huge drops in the employment numbers ?

Either it doesn't work or it's happening gradually and then suddenly, like bankruptcy according to Hemingway.

A lot of those jobs are offshore.

It's possible that Intel wanted to seed the SSD industry.

They knew it wouldn't be profitable enough long term, but it would increase demand for their products.

Have anybody managed to use sleep to learn language? How ?

I have dyslexia and in high school learning my lines for plays was really hard but I loved doing plays, so I recorded myself saying my lines on tape (yah, I'm old) and used double cassette to fill 2 tapes with them, then run them over night while I was sleeping. I've never used this in my adult life but it worked pretty well for my lines and I suppose maybe you could use it to learn a language?

Edit: Claude tells me I was a head of my time, apparently it works but not net new, you have to also be working on it awake, it's called 'targeted memory reactivation (TMR)": https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12592824/

I attempted to do this with Japanese but did not make much headway.

While I think it's a compelling idea that playing speech in your target language while you sleep can help, I don't think it's ever been demonstrated to work.

Having said that, that sleep is incredibly important for learning anything! I practice my language learning during the day, a little bit every day, and I prioritize getting good sleep. This is mostly just trying to go to bed at the same time every night, avoiding alcohol, and giving myself an hour before bed with low lights to read and calm my mind. When you sleep, memories are consolidated, organized, and tagged for long-term storage. I will sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and bouncing around in my mind are echos of phrases and words from my target language. I figure it's working.
