Aren’t Waymo prices above Uber’s? That’s what I’ve seen in SF. That is to say that I don’t think the economics work. You’re better off offering free Ubers. And I doubt that will so…

This is not a very charitable explanation, it takes politicians at their word during a war. (One should not do that, and you can refer to Putin’s language at 2022 as a parallel exa…

Where I live (NYC) putting altered images like that has been the norm for more than a decade. It’s just used to be more expensive to hire someone to do it for you. The altered imag…

The Linux kernel is not in any way at top of big projects. A kernel, as the name suggests, deals with specific issues and tries to remain small. The world’s biggest software is usu…

Now let’s see you do this with 40B. The f you can do that I will be intrigued, since it sounds like you solved a bunch of complicated economic problems.

The truth is that the backlash is stronger against E2EE . Avoiding E2EE is less PR hassle to Meta than having it. As a supporter, I must admit the E2EE interest groups have not had…

They are blocked from insider trading I think this in the previous comment undervalue just how many more complicated ways there are for corruption to bubble. Assume super strict ru…

Recent research disproves the old limit which has grabbed headlines like that old half a glass of red wine is good for you paper. And also. Up to a certain point is still a correla…

Because research on this topic supports it. Happiness and wealth are correlated.

No they can’t just draw by themselves. It’s extremely bad and random. Their teachers teach them from a very early age how to hold a carton, and how to draw. Maybe some miraculous h…

Here’s one example: I just recently used for image generation to design my balcony. It was a great way to see design ideas imagined in place and decide what to do. There are many c…

Roughly, trying to keep it with minimal judgement, as hard as it is: - since 79 Iran is marking the US and Israel as enemy countries. (The US due to the 50s revolution, Israel beca…

I slightly corrected it not to trick op. But to clarify their position was naive. Sorry about that. It still is naive no matter the quote though. It’s also naive to dump down the c…

Quick reminder, the only humans to ever make it to the moon did it due to “barbaric tribes showing who’s better”. It wasn’t bankrolled with billions for the good of society. Being …

You also have to be quite stupid to do it with insider knowledge. A bunch of them have been caught in Israel. Being indicted for treason and treason like charges sounds worse than …

The people who need the constant price do that, but creating this contract generates an investment at the same time. The person promising the price is taking a premium to take the …

Meta did a bunch of mistakes, and look like Zuckerberg spent a lot of money on talent and made big swings to change it (that happened about a year ago) I think it’s unrealistic to …

And it’s perfectly okay to fix and improve the code later. Many super talented developers I know will say “Make it work, then make it good”. I think it’s okay to do this on a bigge…

That chapter struck me as paranoia and hit piece. What really happens there, if you ignore the author’s spin on it and concentrate on the facts is Sheryl is repeatedly asking her p…

I personally find that fighting dismissive attitudes is better done by not being dismissive towards other things (or people in this case) It’s healthier for the discussion culture …

Have you seen an agentic AI work its way through blockers? If it’s in the mood, it will find something not blocked that can do what it wanted.

All 1049 posts were peaceful? The pdf mentions this was mostly after October 7th, a terrorist (as in, meant to induce fear by targeting civilians) attack which was live streamed on…

My car hit the breaks for me last week on a highway. I’m quite happy with the computerization of cars for this reason. It could be better as the link shows the downsides, but it pr…

Generally, all problems used for crypto are in NP. Since given the secret, you need to be able to compute it efficiently. It’s just that being NP hard or complete is not enough. Th…
