    For a laptop, I see diminishing returns at 3200x1800. That's as low as I'm go. 4k is preferred and now common. I don't need more. Ironically, almost all phones I look at have more …

    Microsoft should make this service free for open source (not just thought leaders), and compensate people otherwise. I should have a 0.01% equity in Open AI if they're using my stu…

    She said this never happens. This happened all the time. It's just that she was the first scientist to take the honest route and do a retraction rather than letting it slip. I'm im…

    Seems like they should sell the government 50 billion dollars of stock at the lower of current prices and 90% of the stock price at the time they did the buy back. They'll have los…
