Perhaps far too optimistic, but if AI search gets pushed heavily and traditional search becomes less relevant, could we see SEO fade for traditional search and it become less pollu…

Total side note, it's interesting seeing "Move fast and break things" become the dominant phrase vs what I remember initially as the "MIT vs New Jersey methods". Both describe the …

I agree. Super excited to see what people are going to be able to make as the number of people/resources needed per piece of work keeps going down. Are we about to hit a printing p…

Looking back on history I think this will lead to meaningful art (and tons and tons of absolute garbage!). The printing press led to publishing works being reachable by more people…

Homeowners are typically going to be leveraged with a mortgage on their homes. This amplifies prices going up or down. IE: I buy a house for 100 by using 20 of my own money and 80 …

Bit of a tangent, but you might have better luck with hardwood vs. plywood. The glue in plywood makes it more difficult for CO2 lasers to cut through. I was super surprised when so…

https://www.plugoutpower.com/ makes a kit for the Prius (and others) to do just that!

My understanding is as interest rates go up prices need to come down as people only have $X/month to allocate towards housing. EX: If you have $100 to put towards housing per month…

How much does the cost of labor really factor into a 20B factory? Assume 200k fully loaded at 3000 people is 600M a year on labor. That's not nothing but it seems pretty insignific…

Just a note, we're getting close to fiscal year end (9/30) for a lot of companies. Maybe totally anecdotal but I've noticed in the past that I see a lot of these kinds of announcem…

I'm pretty sure that's the one! Takes a bit to get to the punchline but the idea that you want to look for tests that are unhackable is the big idea (and making a good product to g…

Since we're commenting on a pg essay, IIRC startups are said to be the place where you CAN play it straight and get rewarded justly. The core idea being you can't fake or politic y…

I'll second that. The lack of humidity really helps keep things comfortable outside when it is cold. That specific heat of water is killer in a Midwest winter. Low humidity is also…

There has been controversy around them paying third party developers to release their game exclusively through Epic Games Store. From what I recall these are timed exclusives so th…

The specs seem fairly detailed (at least to a non-HVAC person) on their website [IE: 1]. Cost on the other hand doesn't seem to be readily available (my guess is expensive since th…

Evaporative cooler owner here. Thought I would add a few data points in case people were curious. We live in Denver, CO (arid climate, typically mid 90Fs in the summer but can reac…

Are you sure you're not thinking of Phil Fish? That seems much more likely to me.

That's an impressive die shrink as well. Seems like Intel can make the 4 core Ivy in about the same die area as the 2 core Sandy. Considering the 4 cores are going to sell for quit…

I haven't looked at it in a while, but you might check out Robert Virding's Lisp Flavored Erlang at https://github.com/rvirding/lfe . He's definitely familiar with Erlang as IIRC h…

I've always thought it strange to think that ARM (or any other CPU design) company could take out Intel. Worst case in the ARM scenario, Intel buys a company with an ARM license an…

I can't say for sure, but possibly fiscal quarter/year ends?

One cool thing is that the Google Android App Inventor is built out of Kawa. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_App_Inventor ) I believe Kawa is also currently a bit friendlier …

I like it for screen real estate purposes. The shorter stuff is, the more text I can view in a single window. I wish monitor real estate progressed at the rate of Moore's law, but …

I'm always curious how Magic Online ( http://www.mtgonline.com ) gets left out of these virtual goods conversations. It had an 8 year celebration this past July and by a rough calc…
