Is it? Here I read it's gotten much worse. Now you have 3 minutes to escape a fire while 40 years you had 17 minutes. (Other things have gotten better of course)

15 fold increase in price and still only 15 cents per kg, that is insane.

I see this praise of tcl/tk a lot on HN, but everyone I know (myself included) absolutely hate working with it in VLSI CAD tools.

2G is being shutdown (or already has) in many countries and those old phones and core services will need to be replaced.

Hardware companies are notoriously bad at software. The software they use sucks, the languages they use suck, the internal tooling software they write sucks.

They don't know what good developer experience is, how do you expect them to deliver it to other people?

>Schrödinger's China at once is an evil entity looking to use AI for their own nefarious purposes yet also willing to cooperate with their main competitor to prevent other actors (who??) from achieving similar goals (all while under a chip embargo too!!)

I don't see the contradiction, even if China is evil, why would they want others to be able to do the same thing?

The USA and USSR also signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty during the height of the cold war.

There's also information in the compiler and the zip binary, without that I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

If you prefer the term person to avoid confusion, fine by me. But then also don't use the term "experimenting on humans", because the meaning of that is experimenting on persons against their will.

There is nothing extra magical about conception that makes the creation of a human (or a person if you prefer that), all of the DNA already existed before and nothing that defines a person is yet present.

Testing on early stage embryos is a thing yes. They have no brain, no heartbeat, feel no pain. Yes, they could potentially develop into a human being, but I wouldn't call it a live human yet. I understand your repulsion, but to other people it's no different than testing on sperm, eggs or other human tissues. And as the other guy said, these were discarded embryos from IVF, they would never become humans.
