    Bell Labs was primarily funded by AT&T, a private company. Like I said, an environment with low taxes and real freedom is the source of prosperity, creativity, and innovation.

    All the key people in CS, EE, and Physics needed to invent transistors where in America at the time. Why? Mostly because America has true individual freedom and low taxes, unlike E…

    At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what tools are used. Is that output good? Do people find it useful? Consider nothing else.

    Thanks for the info. Tricky situation because we have a kid who has dual citizenship, and we are not in the US, but want to move back.

    I totally get it Yann LeCun and FAIR want to focus on next gen research, but they seem almost proud of their distance from product development at Meta. Isn't that a convenient way …

    Bullshit. All the big VC firms in the USA are funded by private investors (rich people). They fund risky tech startups because big, fast gains are possible and the marginal capital…
