  • As someone who has worked on embedded systems for the past 30 years: It used to be a real big deal, but for the past 10-15 years it hasn’t. We now have fully fledged multi core systems running everything. Even small embedded sensors or actuation controllers are 100+ MHz microcontrollers with oodles of flash and ram.

    Now there has been an interesting turnaround with the whole chip shortage for the past years. All the young folk are at a loss, being used to just putting powerful chips all around willy-nilly. So they turn to the old folk like me to figure out designs with less chips, running busses all over and connecting dumb sensors/actuators to a central processing unit.



  • I think what the user is trying to say: I’m moving a large number of files to different locations. So selecting a large number of files and copy pasting isn’t really helpful. I can imagine navigating to a folder, selecting the right file, copy, navigate to the other folder, paste etc. to be very inefficient. I can imagine in such a case a copy to / move to feature is useful and I have seen that feature in a lot of other places.

    Of course the user would be helped somewhat if he understood what cut meant and the other commenter isn’t really helpful in this aspect. Just saying: “There is cut” doesn’t help if the user doesn’t understand what cut means.

    Also calling a user out like this is really uncool, the user obviously doesn’t have English as a first language and/or has trouble expressing their selves. This doesn’t invalidate them or their request.



  • You forget people are very selfish and will eagerly join the Face Eating Leopards party, because surely they aren’t the one whos face gets eaten. In their mind they are the one with the bestest brain chip outcompeting others without doing any work and all of the people they hate get killed with the push of a button. That reality doesn’t work like that doesn’t stop them.

    Another aspect may be if this gets developed in the US, surely the US citizens will be the first to have access to this new tech and have a leg up on the rest of the world. Imagine foreigners coming into your country and outcompeting because of their brain chips, TEY TUK UR JERBS! Again, that reality doesn’t work like that doesn’t stop them.
