They argue for both no? Increased armour for logistics, but also the notion that yes, if one good hit destroys your whole stockpile then you would need a 100% success rate defense mechanism which is impossible when you can be overwhelmed by the number of drones/missiles seen in modern warfare.

For those like me who hadn't heard of this here is Apache's own product description for context:

Apache Shiro™ is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session management. With Shiro’s easy-to-understand API, you can quickly and easily secure any application – from the smallest mobile applications to the largest web and enterprise applications.

I can't say I have a definitive answer, but there is a blog post from 2025 that seems to suggest they haven't yet: https://nosygamer.blogspot.com/2025/05/fanfest-2025-upgradin...

Not really? The best heaters are heat pumps which can under typical operation reach 300-500% efficiency (COP). Technically they aren't converting the electricity into heat, but for arguments sake here about heaters we only care about electricity consumed to heat generated.

This concept is missed so much in AI research and is quite frustrating.

Academic pay is standardised in many EU countries. For example in the UK you can look up union rates of pay. At UCL (I'm still currently affiliated as I finish my PhD) the pay for a professor starts at £82,157 and goes up to a minimum of £139,882 for the top band. There is an additional £4,678 on top as a London allowance. This roughly lines up with your figure per year, so seems reasonable as an allocation of cost.

Also there are usually very very generous pension schemes here, so total pay is actually quite a lot higher than stated. In addition there is very generous holiday allowance, 41 days at UCL for instance, since you get extra holidays when the university is closed over certain holiday days.

No. It is for research that wouldn't be funded by companies, since it is either too risky or has too long of a time-horizon. If all academic research was removed from the world you would notice a vast stagnation in technological progress. This can be confirmed by looking at what technologies have come from this process, and what private research built upon public research.

Unfortunately not. A lot of UK banks require using your mobile phone as the 2nd factor to log on to online banking on your laptop. They used to issue fobs/card readers, but have moved to using the app for this now.

This is why you use Emacs in Daemon mode for instant starts. Does zed perhaps offer something similar?

The main issue is lack of banking app support for me. Without that (which the banks will never allow) you would always need two phones.

If this is true it's interesting, as ICE cars typically prefer to be driven continuously at operating temperatures, rather than cold. This is why a high-mileage low-year car can actually have an engine in much better condition than low-mileage high year cars.

Wait isn't the answer No here? The dots are clearly clustered mostly in the correct half of the graph?

MSI Center is one of the worst pieces of software that I can't get rid of. Some features I can't find easy ways to replicate such as controlling the fan/GPU/CPU profiles and battery charging. Updating the software takes FOREVER for what should be fairly simple, and it is extremely slow again for what should be simple software.

Right but the 'surprising level of detail' can often exhibit itself as exactly not a pattern. There are many jobs where you employ a human not because of the rote/pattern based work, but their ability to handle all the edge cases that are just frequent enough to need them, but not frequent enough for AI to be able to handle. That is the events that in this example would require the AI to ask the human to make some decision for them.

The fiddliness isn't necessarily fixable though, at least in business code. The code has to represent the real-world, and if the real-world is fiddly then the code must be fiddly too. The only way to 'fix' this is to restrict your code's representation of the world to some non-fiddly sub-set, but this isn't always possible.

Honestly I think any economic minister, such as the chancellor in the UK should be required to read this. It's amazing in a time when they champion growth, without understanding these relationships.
