Uzbek food is very popular with all people from the former USSR. So there will be a lot more demand than just Uzbek-Americans.

The capital backing it would profit. Your scenario is a real doom loop of runaway capital building up without any corresponding returns to human labour. See Thomas Picketty and his…

The US already has a legal concept of personhood for companies. We are soon going to lose control to these “people” and businesses overrunning the economy, the internet and our cul…

Meta is going to have higher ads revenue than Google this year.

My kid’s elementary school in Seattle starts at 7:50 AM

Nor do they have to. Inference from different users is batched together.

Because a nanny in Seattle charges $30/hr.

Do you think Shanghai has better career opportunities?

In Polish ch and h would be read the same (kinda like the English h sound).

Civilian telecoms are absolutely used in military UAVs. Ukraine and Russia both use their opponents SIM cards in long range strike drones. And I’m pretty sure that attack vector wo…

In China there are. But of course the hardware and supplier integration is much easier for them than for American competitors.

Why is Singapore even in an English language competition? It's the dominant language there.

Since you mention Western animation and Netflix. Have you seen Blue Eyed Samurai? Amazing show and it has a beautiful style that looks like it's hand drawn and Japanese, but it's a…

Let's see. One is a brutal, colonial invasion with the intent of totally replacing the local population. And the other is Israel responding to the rape and murder of hundreds of th…

AI heavy lifting isn't just model training. There's about a million data pipelines and processes before the training data gets loaded into a PyTorch tensor.

The worst case is all of China being in the same time zone. It's quite crazy. China has about the same land area as the US.

The companies do track that data internally. It would be nice if the DMV mandated it's release to the public. But of course this type of data is a counterfactual, so much more subj…

Their current track is not demographically suicidal?

Seems that the NSO business model is based on ultra exclusivity and a very small number of business clients. Technically, Pegasus could probably retransmit itself to infect another…

It was "you wouldn't steal a car". People on the internet rightly corrected it to "download".

That's a great way of looking at it in theory. But in practice how would we even know if we're looking at a cat-level AGI? For a human level AGI it's obvious, we would question and…
