Diversity is not something companies do to become successful. It’s something companies do after they become successful. It’s virtue signaling.

YC adds almost no value. They capture all of the startups that would have been founded anyway (and many that wouldn't, because they are idiotic ideas) and tax them. Then, inevitably, some of those hit it big and YC takes the credit. Do

It is absolutely a cult which preys on the naïve. It’s amazing that young founders give up equity so cheaply to chase credentials that pay so poorly, on average, relative to FAANG. Someone will win in every YC batch, and it’s YC itself, whi

Um, all of these manufacturers make more varieties of models and have sold, cumulatively, a lot more cars than Tesla. This means more opportunity for recall. You need to normalize by total sales over the past ten years. Tesla also has a mon

An Astral Codex Ten article is no substitute for clinical trials and measured experimental data. The ethanol concerns are dismissed by ACT with no real analysis, when the data presented is from an in-vitro thesis that didn't study the

From the source: "The endogenous alcohol concentration in the blood of sober people is 0.39 ± 0.45 μg/mL or 0.039 mg/dL (Antoschechkin, 2001)." Further down: 5. Then you’ll end up with 11mg/5L of blood. This is,

"The claim on Twitter" is why the FDA exists, and that's a good thing. Bread can be a bit alcoholic, yes. I try to avoid it for other reasons. I would prefer that everything I eat over 50 years not be turned into fractional b

When ethanol is added to saliva, bacteria in the mouth produce acetaldehyde, which is known to be carcinogenic. I need less ethanol in my mouth, not more!

Ethanol (alcohol) is toxic; do I want bacteria producing ethanol in my mouth constantly, poisoning my brain? If I swallow this bacteria, will it start producing ethanol in my gut? If it does, how do I get rid of it? I don't want to hav

I wouldn’t be surprised if the C++ coroutine push was for a perf. packet in some big tech company. Promo is hard. Meanwhile, the same optimizations one could use for efficient coroutines could just as well be applied to fibers, which are mu

These have always been NVIDIA's "few" advantages and yet they've still dominated for years. It's their relentless pace of innovation that is their advantage. They resemble Intel of old, and despite Intel's same

It is most definitely warranted. This idea is horrific for the environment and sonic booms are bad for residents. It solves a "problem" nobody but rich elites have. This company is a zero-interest rate phenomenon. I wish people wo

This is expected as OSS developers are, for the most part, amateurs. Nobody is paying them for their work. They're not professionals, so one shouldn't expect professional behavior. It's not even bush league. Once they graduat

Programmer education, tools, language standards and best practices are all vastly different than 50 years ago. That's like pointing at a Ford Edsel and then claiming that modern humans can't make good cars.

Everyone at YC knows exploiting naive founders is more profitable and less risky than doing a startup. The key is to perpetuate a mythical cult around the startup and convince huge swaths of kids to give you equity for almost nothing. The c

No, people who own houses in sunny locations save money by legislation that forces the utility to buy power from them at retail prices (“net metering”), and without having to pay for batteries for energy storage. That’s not a DIY solution.

Like I said, batteries are practical for time shifting a few hours, becauses you can amortize the cost over twenty years and only double the cost of the power, and that is exactly where they are used in grid. https://about.bnef.c

Batteries are not a solution, and probably never will be. If you buy and install a Tesla Powerwall, it will cost you $11,500 to store $1.65 worth of electricity. It’s literally ~ten thousand times more expansive than the energy is worth. It

The progress is driven by the willingness of SpaceX to constantly run at a loss, and take in more cash to incinerate on the regular. This allows it to run bleeding edge but money-losing programs that that other companies considered but reje

The kernel running within Android is meaningless. It's not the GUI or the runtime. It performs commodity functions. It's like saying that PEX has 50% of all indoor plumbing share. It doesn't provide any distinguishing, featur
