    Time to get AC in homes. Especially in the Uk Where homes are generally terraced/attached, small, and decently insulated. The costs to operate wouldn’t be too painful. Secondly, mu…

    It can but it takes a very long time to bring food online. To develop real estate. Especially when the real numbers of immigrants is much higher. It takes time to train more doctor…

    And it’s a good thing all that wealth is evenly distributed and not hoarded nearly exclusively by a small class of families. I can assure you mass immigration is not good for the w…

    I don’t know but I wonder if people that have insomnia or similar difficulty falling asleep (anxiety, etc) struggle with a CPAP. I am fortunate to fall asleep very easily, usually …

    Get 2 opinions. And yes about weight - some people won’t have Apnea if they get their BMI to like 25 or whatever. Saying that I have a CPAP machine and love it.

    The problem today is we had 10 years of “learn to code” and a a lot of people did. Similar to 2001. 2009 wasn’t really bad for tech since we had a huge shortage of workers in the s…

    School was, is, and will always be a filter to determine who should manage and access resources.

    It’s like all these things though - it’s not a real production worthy product. It’s a super-demo. It looks amazing until you realize there’s many months of work to make it somethin…

    For years the advantage big tech had was that capital expenditure was minimal and now with every big tech company trying to become an AI company they’re blowing gobs of money on da…

    Well, I guess we’re going to fire all the Ping-pong players at the office and replace them with these robots.

    Probably aren’t seeing the promised productivity improvements of AI in terms of shipping production code and not just “super demos” that aren’t robust. So they want to see if the w…

    The funny thing about AI is counterintuitive. It will put an even higher value on quality as quantity is now essentially worthless. I don’t believe AI can generate high quality on …

    For thousands of years people were unsure if they’d have food the next day and still had a lot of kids. This happens today in the poorest parts of the world. People are not having …

    What’s a better method for determining how to utilize and distribute resources? To determine where energy should be used and where it should be moved from?

    AI is unbelievably useful and will continue to make an impact but a few things: - The 80/20 rule still applies. We’ve optimized the 20% of time part (a lot!) but all the hype is on…
