Is it only a 10% annual return? That's not a lot.

I disagree on so many levels that it would be impossible to have a reasonable debate. To give only my most charitable counterpoint: (If, big if*) successful AGI will be such an acc…

And the typical book only sees 1 copy sold?

In a just world, the punishment can be more than just the sum of the direct damages, otherwise there's no incentive to stop reoffending. Anthropic (and friends) proved they're will…

Kelley's blog post reads as follows: > The post implies you were diligently fuzzing your Zig code, while during our calls the Bun team told us that they were not fuzzing anything. …

It's crazy that people have to eat the long payback time to switch to renewable, while these wildly profitable (maybe?) data centers can just drink excessively from the grid or swi…

I'm not the commenter claiming that this currently violates GAAP - that's someone else. To summarise my opinion, subjectively it seems like a better distinction could be made in GA…

> there's no accounting issue here This seems like a really narrow interpretation of what's going on. Is there any room to doubt/discuss whether GAAP rules could be improved? Or wh…

Interesting take - upvoted you. I'm not convinced it's been the optimal management strategy, but you're succinctly explaining what they have done, not what they should have done, a…

Out of $13Bln of 2025 revenue, OpenAI received $867 million from one customer (less charitably, one bankroller), SoftBank. And $300 million from Microsoft[0]. That's more than a dr…

Until all of your interactions are trained into future model releases, and another competitor steps in and takes all your "R&D" straight out of the model. Now it's open season for …

Interesting anecdote - is the 2/3rd of costs related to service charges, or the all-in lifetime costs of all the advertising that the cleaner has to pay for? There are definitely g…

Ethics and morals are not "arbitrary".

Your source for 1/3 please? Google suggests smaller discounts. Are they playing other games to make it economical for the insurer? Kickbacks and removing your choice of repairer so…

Running with this analogy, the two sides of the AI argument are the people who think they can fire their plumber and electrician now that they have a drill driver, and the people w…

Heisting multiple billions worth of crypto would have the same issues, just to a smaller degree. If that much illicit money is on the line, `mJurisdiction` which normally looks the…

I was curious about this point when discussion came up on HN just recently. I don't see how you could "assign" each non-QR address a new quantum resistant address unless they "clai…

> Shareholder returns go to the top 10% of Americans (who own 90% of US equities), so any argument about prosperity impairment from impaired immigration is going to fall on deaf ea…

Do understand, though, that market return will struggle to achieve 9% for the coming decades. A 9% annualised return would put the US stock market at 50% of world GDP in 10 years (…

Facial recognition would be able to detect all the strangers around you, whereas audio would surely only pick up people nearer the device, and presumably wouldn't be able to tell p…

With the guard rails up, right? Right?

I think you're right - outside of COVID, it's not fringe, it's an accepted norm. Personally I at least wish sick people would mask up on planes! Much more efficient than everyone e…
