You can only make money if you produce value. If you stop producing value because your old industries decline/collapse and you miss out on new industries, your wealth will trend to…

Right, but that negative externality is on emissions. For emissions it doesn't really matter who is producing the oil.

Let's say an agent needs to do 10 brain surgeries on a human to remove a tumor and a human doctor can do it in a single surgery. I would prefer the human. "steps" are important to …

(Based on AI research) fossile fuel production takes a few years to recoup investment. Only refineries seem quite long term (15-20 years). I'm sure the companies have projections a…

Voters in the US have the ability to actually change the course of their country. Voters can say they want Obama or Trump in charge and the government has to obey that choice. In E…

This really seems like a nothing burger. The $1B were a refund. Net exchange ~$0. Building out fossile fuel production shifts oil revenue from various dictatorships around the worl…

They only had to comply with EU laws when they were already a big player in China. EU manufacturers need their new vehicles to be compliant on day one. That is, if they want to lau…

What is different about Deepseek's use of MoE vs all the other MoE models that makes training more efficient? FP8 training and GRPO make sense to me, but that only gets you a 4x im…

If you don't, your geopolitical adversary might be the first to build AGI. So in this scenario I could see it become necessary from a military perspective.

Right, and that regulation has a cost. I hope it's worth it.

The mere existence of regulation is part of the problem. Without precise understanding of the law, you don't know if your use cases are fine/excempted. The safe default assumption …

Once you have a technological breakthrough that requires lots of exploration to figure out which products will succeed, regulation is a competitive disadvantage. For established in…

If you declare using an invalidated iterator as UB, the compiler can optimize as if the container was effectively immutable during the loop.

Ignoring it means you need to get explicit consent, which is what the websites are already doing.

But then you don't have a company that can afford to build a 100b training cluster for example. If that becomes the new sota you are again left behind.

When I do a Google search for the example query "postgresql query analysis" on mobile chrome (no ad block), I get 0 ads. Same thing if I select the "Example" filter as shown in the…

Ideally you can only retry error codes where it is guaranteed that no backend logic has executed yet. This prevents retry amplification. It also has the benefit that you can retry …

It's 6% shorter wire length. Hardly an infinite compute glitch.

App store subscriptions are pretty easy to cancel.

The loop itself is claimed to be the problem. It doesn't matter whether you use an AR or non-AR model. They both have a certain error probability that gets amplified in each iterat…

The incognito icon seems like a great analogy to me. A person that hides the face with glasses and hat can still be tracked via CCTV, etc., but the data can't easily be associated …

One argument I heard is that junior team members benefit from others being in the office. So there might be a long term benefit to the team, even if individual productivity of high…

I think the key difference is that in a loop body you can return from the outer function. In a function passed to m.Range you can't.

App stores solved this problem long ago without any help from the government.

Just because the EU wants to ban gas cars in the future doesn't mean there is demand for EVs today. It's called an unpopular decision.
