It's cultural too. I've heard people say along the lines "we don't ship the org chart here" in a positive light, then in a later meeting complain that nobody understands what's goi…

This sounds like a problem that could be solved around the corner with a caveat. Games generally are solvable for AI because they have feedback loops and a clear success or failure…

I think it also depends on what the professor's and the student's goals are; and if they're aligned. Is the course about learning the material at hand, or laying the foundation for…

A "good" prediction market is when it functions as an accountability market. The insider trading problem isn't an issue if the outcome is for a greater good. The problem is that mo…

Voters aren't likely to care until their retirement amount stops growing and suddenly their projections/plans go out the window. Then they'll suddenly start caring whether they und…

I have mixed feelings about their handling of TW Warhammer III. Parts of it are harder to defend (Initial campaign, buggy releases) but the expectations of the fans are arguably a …

Interesting in the context of BGIII and its extended early access. I had to stop playing after a play through or two of EA because i wanted the game to still feel fresh when the en…

How does the inference for LLMs impact battery life? For SD it can be 5% battery per image at times.

Because it's a narrative baked into western culture. People collectively respond to stories/narratives more then pure facts.

Agreed but using examples like Taylor Swift in music is far off from focusing purely on (exited) unicorns when talking about VC. You have to look outside the 99th percentile to fin…

They're also custom made vehicles for delivery use case [1]. And they're also still a major shareholder in the company. And long-long-term maybe some kind of integration with Zoox …

> Overwhelmingly, people get promoted because they solve challenging problems with meaningful impact. That's how capitalism and modern corporation work. It's key to ask, does the p…

If you have the ability to cool the cpu then it's not a hard limit; just one that's not practical for mainstream consumers.

> but once they get laser datalinks it will be 100% unjammable. OISL? How many of them do you expect each Sat to have?

> Giving someone a loan with low enough interest is basically just handing them money free and clear with extra steps If you ignore the "getting your money back" part yes.

Works out well for the legislature too. Plenty of topics to campaign on. Plenty of chance to grandstand on social media, in hearings, in the regular media. Get re-elected while sol…

So everyone at your dinner party gets to eat "better" food? Unless the point of the party was for you to cook then it's an improved experience. GenAI is a tool that lets creators o…

I had to stop using gmail/snooze on my ipad because the snoozes wouldn't be synced with my phone. Seems like such a poor implementation vs inbox.

There's at least a 3rd group of people who want to virtue signal that they'll make the world a better place but put in zero effort.

Mac Studio Pro's with up to 192GB ram are an alternative here too though still on the M2 Ultra chips if you don't need the portability. Not sure how relevant the generation bump is…

The data will have to become more curated. Exclusivity deals will probably become a thing too. Good data will be worth the money and hassle; garbage (or meh) data won't.

In fact they've been doing it for over a decade https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-targ...

> Twitter content will forever remain fundamentally ephemeral: I've bookmarked a "thread of threads" from a user or two. Even that was a half-baked solution though. Since they've s…

Amazon same day delivery was supposedly bootstrapped by ordering ubers via burner phones. Bill Gurley (uber investor) happened to find out during an uber ride talking to his driver…

How did oncall/operations work?
