Or possibly the return of some heavy industry?

I look to a future of regularly servicing the immune system of my battery.

Has anyone been experimenting with AI and formal methods - verification, proofs, or anything else? I've been thinking about this space quite a bit lately. For sufficiently interest…

> have a really hard time with the idea that it could be cultural I played in a gamelan ensemble in college. The music was completely foreign. A piece that sounded like a funeral p…

I asked ChatGPT of course, and the response roughly corresponded to my expectations so I went no further. Doctors make way more here than elsewhere (British doctors aren’t making 5…

Insurance companies don't make much money, actually. Hospitals, physicians, and pharma are at the top of the list (60% or so of total spending). Total insurance overhead is perhaps…

The panels probably need 5-8 years in that location to be energy positive. A year is great, but doesn’t prove much.

That is not a universal because the incumbents may hold the institutional reigns. See Academy for a counter example.

> But I can't help but feel that it is missing the point. It’s perfectly fine if _your_ point in playing music is rooted in some flavor of anti-capitalism and your intrinsic joy of…

What is your a priori estimate for the percentage of news that is consumed as entertainment? As in, it does not result in a change of behavior in the consumer beyond engendering ne…

Here is one sector of the US government I'm happy to see burned down. If the alternative is the status quo, I'm OK with any roll of the dice.

Yes, easily head and shoulders above 5.5 and 4.8. The others are like pulling teeth, comparatively (in a domain that never triggers the security fallback at least).

This would not end well.

Yes, exactly this. If I didn't care about price at all, I'd exclusively use this model. It functions more like an actual engineer. I'm in the midst of a DB migration, and eg 5.5 co…

I will stake the claim, as an engineer never having studied sociology, that in group favoritism is the (only) stable political arrangement by and large… and further, the preservati…

I don’t understand why this is insane? Why do you expect a single cause?

We'll get around to training job specific models or the equivalent. Thats just lower on the value chain for now.

No one believes or acts like this will be a one time event (on any side of the issue). The history of all new forms of taxation is that eventually it will come for you.

The sovereign wealth fund would be a stakeholder in equities and estates. It would have to exercise voting privileges and be a party to lawsuits. Do you want Trump getting control …

A 6% wealth tax indeed taxes more than the expected rate of return on the base assets. That is indeed equivalent to a higher rate than 100% in terms of an income tax. This math is …

Income (returns) are not guaranteed. Go for progressive capital gains if that’s what you want. A wealth tax is a crazy bad idea.

The expected a priori utility of any social intervention is strictly negative… even if “more thoughtful” does check out in reality for higher ed, $700 billion and 15million man yea…

3 10mm bolts failing simultaneously after two decades (on direct it seems) is unexpected! If it were an installation problem, I can’t imagine it would take that long and that they’…

Golang truly excels at cross compiling.
