Phones aren't disposable because of the lack of replacement batteries. I keep my phones for 3-4 years, and the battery life while degraded isn't really an issue. And that's with re…

Nuclear fills a base load role better than solar+battery though, imo. A healthy power network will have a variety of generations sources available.

I don't see how we'll ever get to widespread local LLM. The power efficiency alone is a strong enough pressure to use centralized model providers. My 3090 running 24b or 32b models…

The drop in memory stocks seems counterintuitive to me. The demand for memory isn't going to go down, we'll just be able to do more with the same amount of memory.

Just about everyone on the left has been saying these tariffs were illegal since day one. It's not insider trading that they acted on that consensus.

I don't buy that it's because of the monopoly. TSMC has been starting a fab for close to 5 years. It doesn't matter how many companies are in this market, it takes a real amount of…

>Instead, we should make it illegal to discriminate based on criminal conviction history Absolutely not. I'm not saying every crime should disqualify you from every job but convict…

But realistically, I just had 2 flights last month, checking what model of aircraft I was on didn't even cross my mind. I survived both flights btw.

Anything the government does should be viewed with the lens of "do I want somebody who hates me to have this power".

It's hard to put into words, but you're eroding the social contract through your actions. People with conditions get accused of faking it all the time, and it sounds like you're ac…

Cars are the most time efficient though, assuming you can find parking relatively quick.

The framing of 100% of people getting a prescription as being bad seems weird to me. We live in the age of AI we don't need a doctor to tell us the side effects of medication anymo…

Hyundai is partnering with Boston Dynamics to deploy 30k robots a year. Amazon is looking to replace 600k employees over the next decade. Why do you believe demand for humanoids is…

>Robotaxi has to be cheaper than a normal taxi to kill taxis. The margin of that company can't be that much more than a company like uber. This just isn't true. If you're a woman, …

There are provisions in federal law which allow non citizens to receive federal Medicaid dollars in some circumstances.

Not the guy you're responding to but I'm not going to willingly pay money for pork rind ads to be shown to Muslims. In fact I'd go so far as to suggest that should be illegal as a …

I politely disagree. I spent maybe 8 hours over a week rightsizing a handful of heavy deployments from a previous team and reduced their peak resource usage by implementing better …

Ads are how they get paid until they're big enough for alternative revenue generation.

What if the medicine costs 100$ to produce, should uninsured have to pay that rather than a subsidized 20$?

It's not a bad game, I played for about a year in a relatively well run clan. Never spent any money on it though.

Yeah this is the thing people miss a lot. 7,32b models work perfectly fine for a lot of things, and run on previously high end consumer hardware. But we're still in the hype phase,…

Doesn't this just fall apart if a video is reencoded? Something fairly common on all video platforms.

I'm not part of Oxide, but I think you're assuming everyone is okay with not controlling the hardware they run on. There is plenty of addressable market where a public cloud or eve…

An entire hotel probably wastes less from the mini fridge specifically than a family of 4 for a year.
