It was a joke, son

Everyone should read "Spaces of Global Capitalism: A Theory of Uneven Geographical Development" by David Harvey. Written 25 years ago, it accurately predicts the data center trend …

As did the reMarkable support for that device...

LOL - agreed. I was a bit shocked by the title being the type that gets bonded with my devices. I still use my Windows laptop from 2017 and my M1 Macbook Pro from 2021 daily. Addit…

"The US wants China to stop distilling its AI models, stop smuggling its chips, and stop fine-tuning its open-source models for military use." Sure - you tell'em USA!...as if China…

I just thought it seemed a bit odd to me to have the project tied to large organizations in China so much. I’m not saying to “buy American” but I do think it’s reasonable to be per…

Why is this project tied so specifically to China? Honest question here....

Too much emphasis on YC - there are others

Good list! You should add Orientalism by Said and Open Society and Its Enemies by Popper - both classics!

Good list - except for Phoenix Project - sorry you had to read it - utter insipid crap.

Great picks!

Hmmmm...scientists are still debating whether the signal is dark matter or pulsar output (high energies create electron-positron pairs). I see this recent Chinese paper debating if…

Philosophy Degrees: Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Stewart Butterfield - Flickr, Peter Thiel - PayPal, Patrick Byrne - Overstock, Carly Fiorina - you all know her, Carl Icahn - Icahn Ent…
