Don't underestimate hackers. The internet is supercharging hobbyist hackers in many domains, including electronics, chemistry and bioengineering. I doubt the precursors to nerve gases(the worst ones, anyway) are readily available, but

It's weird to me that folks think NVDA is just sitting there, waiting for everyone to take their lunch. Yes, I'm totally sure NVDA is completely blind to competition and has chosen to sit on their cash rather than develop alterna

Am I living in a bubble or is much of the excitement behind autonomous cabs just hype? Like, sure, it will be popular, but the way some folks(and not just Tesla zealots) talk about it, it will be 25% of global GDP. Beyond, idk, saving my r

Yeah I think it's very easy to forget we live in a surveillance state. Periodically something happens that lets us see it but we somehow, as a society, stop talking about it and next time something like this happens we're surpris

Fatty liver here as well. Not a big consumer of sugar or alcohol though so I suspect something else is the cause. My liver doc ordered a couple dozen obscure blood tests to see if we can find the cause. I take a lot of supplements and vit

Right. The main issue with HFCS is that it's really cheap so it gets added to a lot of things that wouldn't normally contain sugar or it is added in greater amounts than other sugars.

Most of my time isn't spent coding. It's spent designing, discussing, documenting, and debugging. If AI wrote 90% of my code for me I'd still be busy all day.

Sometimes a person's dedication and care expresses itself to others as ego. Sometimes it is just ego. I think we've all implemented some clever trick in our code that we started to feel proud of. It's hard not to do. Even if

Strangely no. Our management hasn't really changed in several years. Expectations have risen though and we've picked a lot of the low-hanging fruit. We also failed to invest in our staffing and so we don't have enough expe

If what you are saying is true, why would Waymo not then pivot to a cheaper sensor system like Tesla? They have extensive experience with deep learning and plenty of training data. Surely this only buys Tesla a few years of lead time? You

It is the same. In both cases people are doubting the ability of the free market(and non-free markets) to detect and respond to an opportunity. How long do you think it will be before a, say, Chinese SpaceX catches up while being unfetter
