Sausages are typically pork in the us. Hot dogs are often beef though

> If it is 15 minutes to drive to work and 25 minutes by bus that is good enough. I really think this is completely wrong. You will convince approximately 0 people in Dallas to use…

I really think the issue here is just that you are blinded by your own preferences. Buses will never be faster than cars in Dallas. Literally impossible. So if they’re not faster, …

Because 99% of Americans use cars. There’s no point spending money on something that only 15% of the population will even consider using, you’ll still have to spend just as much on…

People who live on Dallas clearly do not want this. Telling them their lifestyle is wrong and if they just open their eyes they will see the folly of their ways accomplishes nothin…

No there really is not. The problem is that static routes in low density areas do not work. The reason the transit system has a policy about poor areas is because they know people …

You also need to remember that a huge portion of the 1.65 trillion isn’t actually debt, but leases the hyperscalers have committed too. This is important because there’s no interes…

OpenAI needs mass consumer buy in because a large part of their strategy is ad supported consumer use. Bad pr pushes those users away. A lot of people have teenage Reddit user mind…

Training text is filled with people taking drastic measures right after text similar in tone to the prompt. It doesnt need to be human to come to the conclusion that drastic measur…

API will never be cheaper than subs because theres a ton of value created for companies by locking people into subscriptions that tend to be sticky.

For what its worth the frontier lab models can surely be a lot faster if they wanted them to be but theyre supply constrained so theyre doing stuff like multi tenancy. Since you ca…

Half of the people in the world use facebook/ig every month and revealed preferences show they have no interest in banning ads

Well theyre locking in the price now. They go to developers and offer to sign exclusive leases on a datacenter they designed that isnt built yet. This strategy offloads risk to the…

Theyre gonna pay for it over the course of a decade. Meta revenue is still increasing 10% every year, a $50 billion lease payment on datacenters that are only worth $10 billion is …

The structures theyre using reduce risk. The 2 big moves here are 1. agreeing to lease a datacenter from developer instead of building it yourself and 2. using subsidiaries to fina…

Whether the datacenters will end up profitable is a different question than whether they are a real risk for the business. This whole thing could be a massive mistake and all the b…

Meta makes $60 billion profit a year and is still crazy bloated. $420 billion in debt legitimately is not an issue for them. The only companies with actual problems are oracle and …

Because this isnt actaully debt. Almost all of it is agreements to pay for completed datacenters from developers. Its just a way to offload operational risk when constructing datac…

This "debt" is almost solely rental style deals with datacenter constructors. If you make 200k and have a 400k mortgage youre doing just fine.

Why does that matter?

> So, continuing to profit--forever--from someone's else work, at scale, without their prior consent, is fair use? Yes, that is the entire history of humanity. People steal the las…

Associates are billing over $1000/hr and can bill 12 hours a day easily enough. If you have 5 associates billing an average of 50 hours a week then in a month thats a million dolla…

US was prosperous post war because the industrial capacity of the rest of the world was destroyed. Comparing that time period to any other doesnt make sense. We can only employ nat…
