One thing that irks me quite a bit is when adjacent fields adopt the same acronym for different things

LoRa (RF tech) vs LORA (AI optimisation technique) GLM (statistics) vs GLM (AI model)

What Malcolm Turnbull did to the NBN was absolutely disgraceful

The reforms also resulted in a lot of people never getting FTTN/FFTC in the first place - so will forever be 5G only unless there’s a new scheme rolled out

I repaired some of ~10 years ago (Australia)

Just low end uncustomised NUCs overheating behind the screen

No idea if that’s still the case

Their voter base is largely dying off

I don’t see them being one of the top two parties in a couple of decades unless younger generations start actually having resources/assets to conserve

Geoff Provest (Nationals MP) recently did the same thing commenting on an Albanese social media post pretending to be a disgruntled Labor voter

Not an expert but every node in an UHVDC network would need expensive equipment

Point to point is just two nodes, but scaling that outward would be very expensive

AC transmission is relatively cheap in comparison

Yeah the Blue Quandongs get pretty big

Tweed Valley in NNSW so lots of water and volcanic soil

Edit: turns out the Blue Quandong and the Quandong are very different species - my mistake

As someone who grew up with a Quandong in their backyard please don’t plant quandongs without serious planning

It grew 40m in ~10 years and spanned ~200-300m^2

Only place I’ve ever seen it is the main stretch along Palm Beach on the Gold Coast

1st through 27th Avenues - they’re over 100 years old now funnily enough

I was surprised to find out they still have hardware repair technicians (extremely expensive but reliable: ~$400 per computer around 2022 iirc)

But yes they’re mostly enterprise/services/mainframes not anything overly consumer

This seems to be largely an American phenomenon

In more minor markets like Europe/Australia it seems to be a lot less leetcode and a lot more (1) experience (2) degree (3) actual interview performance

At this point we have several

They’re all largely untestable though

String theory, LQG, half a dozen others

I mean one would take the ad with a grain of salt

If it gets people to pull the trigger on engaging with the firm - it’s likely to embellish how massive the changes are of these patent lapses

Your framing is correct

It’s company vs user not regression vs efficiency
