That sounds like your housekeeper's key...

> Google's organic search results are ranked by quality

What does this even mean? They're ranked by metrics that are assumed to be a proxy for quality, but (a) the accuracy of those proxies varies widely and (b) the ranks are relative; if a result is no longer in the response pool the fact that it would have been higher quality is invisible. Consider the year where anyone who's profile had been tagged as a software developer couldn't find any information on tost rings for sailplane towing because the "autocorrection" to toString was so strong that no mechanism besides logging out gave any relevant results; there's always crap like this going on.

Better screens. Significantly lighter weight. Same performance. Same battery life. Same keyboard feel. In what way are you worried about these "ruining" the streak?

> but it doesn't return better search results.

It doesn't /inherently/ return better search results, but Google is many years into an intensive project to make their search results so bad that even a magic eight ball, let alone a moderately advanced AI, can do better.

What terms do you propose? What adjudication?

> What sort of jobs are memory bandwidth bound that people are running?

CFD, for me. Depends on how you segment the domain, but the speed hit can be significant.

Which is an especially interesting option given built-in RDMA support with reasonable performance, including fully-connected graphs up to 6 machines…

> Sigma developed a powerful autofocus actuator in which coils and magnets, as used in the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), are arranged in a circle to match the shape of the lens barrel

"We had the genius idea of taking a linear actuator and wrapping it into a circle... let's call it a 'normal motor'!"

> with the extra space filled with batteries.

There’s plenty of laptops with 99.9 Wh batteries already… and more than that is challenging to travel with by air, restricting the market drastically.

Inductive coupling could work for both power and data, but probably not at high enough power levels to have LEDs per key if you want to go through 10+ keys in a row...

> I would have to pass data and power through 2 pins and do some interesting circuitry but this should be possible!

Look at the THVD8000 for some ideas here. Not a part I would directly recommend (size), but shows just how easy power+data over a single twisted pair is, with an oscillator on the send side to generate the data signal and an envelope detector on the receive side. You can get fancy here... but the magic is that you don't need to.

Sounds like someone needs to make an app that just prints out a calendar page or newspaper front page every morning to keep things flowing...

In 1974, soda prices spiked with a sugar shortage.

- They never came back down.

- Diet soda and seltzer prices spiked too.

To "b" or not to "b". Apparently the latter.
