....Databricks has no revenue relative to its valuation either

To be a good engineer you had to be stubborn in the early days of your career, you had to have tenacity and persistence to understand and solve the problems you saw. Unfortunately …

Skill loss works both ways. You might miss out on forming early skills in using llms effectively, and end up playing catch up in 3-5 years from now if LLMs mark all the skills you …

Ontological frameworks have been around for many decades. They have had limited success because it is very difficult to represent knowledge in an object oriented approach. An examp…

Not sure why you are getting the downvotes, this was stated as the main reason that Meta disbanded FB News: https://about.fb.com/news/2024/02/update-on-facebook-news-us... "The num…

Interestingly, no acknowledgement has been made on the stock exchange under the ticker (CLBT), despite the two days of public knowledge

It is logical to assume self driving cars start off in low risk areas, prove their concept, and gradually take on more and more use cases. Things like retirement villages and so on…

Given the complexity of the setting, there is far more possible causations than the implied by the finders of this correlation. For example, perhaps better funded hospitals have mo…

Hornsdale power reserve derives most of it's revenue from selling ancillary services, it does not provide energy. Hornsdale's success is not foreshadowing a battery revolution unfo…

No, the enterprise value of the company doesn't change. It was owned by 4b of debt before and is now owned by 5b of equity, and has 1b in cash. It also has an intact business. Unde…

Great example of how difficult statistical concepts are to understand for the layperson, even if that person happens to be a judge or a lawyer.

This would be far better if the currency was used to pay for connectivity, and the router was reimbursed for routing. Connectivity has a cost, and none of these networks will amoun…

Subsidized polysilicon produced from coal in Xinjiang is a much larger contributor than the technology improvements. https://www.pv-tech.org/news/wacker-chemie-blames-chinas-pol...…

They've made a terribly flawed assumption which drives that 90% number. VE is modeled using a beta binomial model with a fixed prior of an infection rate of 1.5% per year. Obviousl…

And funnily enough, 50 years ago the only feasible solution to move off fossil fuels was nuclear. Which was then campaigned against by the green lobby, not the fossil fuel lobby. T…

Uh this is just wrong, institutions use algorithms to trade, <10 contracts isn't confirmation that it's retail money. The algorithms purpose is to hide the flow, and they mimic ord…

BayesDB provides a toolset, what you've proposed is where you need knowledge of the underlying process. You've shown some initiative here, but I'd really recommend studying what's …

Sorry, this is ludicrous. No analyst is basing their investment view on the 1 day post-IPO movements. Maybe a few months in, as an ancedote about market sentiment, but 5 years in t…

This looks like a fairly low power monte-carlo system. You just store samples, and the inference is sampling that sample set? That's just bootstrapping and has been far more explor…

So effectively, you've added a set of ML/statistics scripts to the query engine? But the query engine is otherwise still relational based?

I'd like to learn a bit more about your architecture/process and why it creates value over the standard ML toolkit. It makes sense philosophically to increase capability in the dat…

Seems a bit funny, the top scorers didn't have a few massive bounties, but many many little ones. Both of these accounts made most of their hits on Verizon. To get those kind of ra…

This is just nonsense, patents don't accrue much of the revenue and the revenue for the entire telecommunications industry globally is probably only a trillion.

Taking the subsidies out and examining the profitability of all the companies on the supply chain tends to add up to a loss. Given there isn't much labor involved, energy costs are…

It takes a lot of energy for matter to change states from frozen. This would be a large buffer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_heat
