I hope all the loud voices that are against this move have codified their predictions in a way that they can look back and see if they were accurate.

"A debt is just the perversion of a promise...." That entire quote reads as completely incoherent to me. I feel like I would have to learn entirely new brands of logic and language…

A rush for the exits at 10 global transactions per second, or about the rate of Visa transactions in a Manhattan city block at lunch time.

Government policy would cave-in if the private companies lacked innovation and told them it was impossible. You need existence proofs like Tesla, who are highly leveraged to making…

I think if you have good natural instincts about artificial intelligence you realize that Hinton really is the god in this space. If you don't, you get distracted by LeCunn and Sch…

I'm mostly only interested when they pass us on per capita income. It is notable though that some of their megacorps are achieving valuations akin to our largest. Maybe some day th…

I remember writing the RBM in straight CUDA back in ~2008. Back then we had to do our tensor work uphill both ways against the gradient.

Entrepreneurs are good so I guess we need more rich kids. I'll assume that was the conclusion.

Think about it, if you have even the remotest capability in reading DL research and simultaneously a decently impressive ability to gab, you can sell a startup idea to GM/Ford/etc.…

I agree that cobalt is a fairly small proportion of the total cost of the vehicle. Tesla should be able to weather many multiples in the increase in cobalt price. I'm more worried …

The competition is starting your own company and cashing in on many millions or billions from it. I think it's perfectly reasonable for the highest achievers to have that in mind a…

disaggregation is the key in everything. If 90% of the world decelerates at -1% a year but 10% accelerates at 10%, then for a few years it looks pretty close to flatline but the ex…

If all people benefit from something then it's hard to find a problem with it. That's presumably not the case for someone who is a high level producer comparing a UBI world to a no…
