    Nonprofits in the USA are basically failings in government. Non profits at their best provide services that any half decent government should provide but do it at a fraction of the…

    I’m using the terms correctly it’s just that while red lobster is owned by the PE firm, the PE firm is more than red lobster.

    No I don’t mean the strategy, I mean selling the real estate for 7.5 years of rent. Usually the multiple is closer to 20x

    That’s what I’m wondering, or if they got some other compensation that isn’t mentioned.

    They sold their real estate for 1.5 billion and then red lobster paid 200 million a year in rent. That’s insane. In 7.5 years they would pay back the purchase price. That just seem…

    Hilarious to think that everyone is worried about AI becoming sentient and murdering us all - it's more likely it will just give bad advice to enough humans that we all lazily murd…

    Are you working for Big Sprout? I seem to remember seeing that exact phrase on here in the last couple of months. "Not your parents sprouts anymore" For the record I loved them 30 …

    Still took 9 years to get to 7 chargers. So this article is complaining about a 450% increase in rate of charger building.

    That’s why it takes time to build the infrastructure, that’s my point. It’s taken time to build all the other infrastructure, why do we think that a whole new transport infrastruct…

    Tesla was founded in 2003. Obviously they didn’t start building charging stations straight away but this doesn’t really feel like we are all having an honest discussion :/ That sai…

    In fact, many building projects take years to just purchase the real estate to build on.

    Petrol pumps also have insanely high energy requirements and take a long time to permit and build. And for good reason. They just get their energy via tanker. The fact that somethi…

    It just takes time to build physical buildings. Tesla doesn't have any secret sauce they just started years ago.

    Are they permitted, funded and planned and built in less time than years? Not very many are. This a good thing, we don't want people cutting corners and building wherever they want…

    But “goals” is doing an insane amount of heavy lifting here. In order to have goals you need to have a model of the world. LLMs do not have a model of the world. Your goal then is …

    This. Llms aren’t very good and are just predictive text. And I say that as someone who has a lot of experience using them. We don’t have anything to fear from AI for quite some ti…

    Building physical things in the real world takes more than a couple of years. Think how long it takes to plan and build a regular building and these are buildings with insanely hig…

    I've found that lighter roasts don't degas/bloom anywhere near as much as coffees that are taken even a little more darker (like talking about the difference between super light an…

    Are you sure when you are brewing that the concentrations/extractions are the same ? If you brew an aeropress and then dilute it, it will probably be less acidic. Here is more info…
