Google says 80% compared to up to 95% for LifePO4. Extra 15% cost for waste heat during charging vs 10x cheaper battery.

The video says it’s 175 kwhr per kg compared to 185 for LFP that’s already used in some cars. Gold standard is Lion at 300. Volumetric is the same ratios.

So it’s usable in cars and absolutely immediately useable in homes.

Also the number of supported users does not scale linearly with the number of CPU cores

US population has grown 25% from the year 2000. Other than Anti AI detection, everything worked on the hardware of 25 years ago. Single core performance has gone up more than 25% over the past 25 years.

“State services” is database lookups and billing. Back in the 90’s, I supported 10k users (1.5k active at any moment) on a Pentium 3 with 512MB of Ram.

An entire state government could run on your phone but requires an entire data center because it’s written in JavaScript that emulates the original COBOL code that ran the government in the 1960’s.

I don’t think playing Outer Worlds would help me finish tasks.

Little late to the SystemD argument.

Yeah but if you type in 1060 W Addison St, Chicago, IL 60613, they won’t hassle you again.

What does it matter? They have your gps data. Location timeline is only saving the data they already steal to your phone so you can use it too instead of only advertisers.

You can type whatever you want. I learned that from The Blues Brothers.

I used those as examples but I claim that most everything was C by the early 90’s. The statement that C compilers got fast which allowed it isn’t true. When a new compiler came out it was always a couple of percentage points faster than the old version. Meanwhile hardware was doubling in performance every two years.

C compilers didn’t need much optimization because there wasn’t much performance that could be optimized into code on the simple CPUs of 1992 when Doom was being written. CPU’s weren’t the superscalar multi core monsters they are today. A compiler couldn’t take advantage of reordering instructions to use multiple adders because there was only one.

having no reliance on assembly code

That’s not true. The original Doom has assembly. They replaced it for the Linux source release. But by that time PC hardware was much faster ( remember back in the 90’s performance doubled every 2 years) so it wasn’t needed.

China isn’t a race.

To be fair that’s what America did to England.

The US used to only recognize copyright of US writers. Foreign books were printed without any payments. Charles Dickens didn’t get any money from American publishers who printed his books.

Before Doom (1993), almost all games were assembly.

Carmack wrote Wolfenstein 3d in C. Star Control and Dune 2 were C.

You don’t have to upgrade to 11 for at least a year or longer. Register a free MS account for your win 10 and you get free patches for Win 10 for a year. Otherwise it’s $30.

Well it’s nice to see people have moved on from thinking Bill Gates is CEO. 11 years off but getting better.

There are lots of assembly programming YouTubers. My way of scratching that itch is Arduino / ESP32. The tool chain is all C code but it’s so stripped down there’s not even an OS. It’s just your code on the hardware.

That’s been true ever since the first graduates came out knowing COBOL instead of assembly. Everything keeps getting more bloated and buggy.

that they have no way of knowing that the algorithm is actually correct.

He tested it and it was good enough for him. If he wrote the code he’d still not know if it was correct and need to test it. If knowing an algorithm was all that was needed for writing working code, there wouldn’t have been any software bugs in all of computer history until AI.

text predictors pulled words

My phone keyboard text predictor lists 3 words and they’re frequently wrong. At best it lists 3 and you have to choose the 1 right word.
