Good analysis. I suspect the same, that ten years from now Tesla will rule the US but be surrounded by a sea of BYDs

I'd say most will fail (although this is the case for most startups anyway) but the question is if there will be any massive success that pulls the average up, so to speak.

Their execution was indeed almost comically bad. I suspect it was because they had really wanted to focus on the B2B market, so they made the most sanitised virtual world possible. The overall VR direction was not entirely ridiculous, altho

If they gave us Ready Player One or Necromancer they would have crushed it. Gibson knows what possessed them to make the best possible impression of an office space in Purgatory.

I don't fault them for taking risks and failing (I think at the time there was still an argument for VR, could be possible they were ahead of the curve). I think the tipping point is when they're actively pushing for things that d

If anything causes the AI bubble to burst, it's that 99% of finding is going to companies that don't solve any real problems. It's shocking that the only major player in real world problem solving is DeepMind.

It's a clear sign Meta leadership has clearly lost the plot, giving in to hype instead of any vision.

Looking at the stock price, it still trades at 110x P/E and 16x price to revenue. I wonder what the market is pricing this on. Future margin expansion? Businesses like robotaxis?

I've always assumed they removed it, because it's such a basic and fundamental part of ML training that you separate your test and train data. And yet I never see any papers even mention if/how they do this. And I wonder if t

I'm somewhat skeptical about your conclusion that the TCP handshake and other possible overheads are the problem. 1) In the worst case you're transmitting one packet for each connection, this requires you to send two handshake pac

I just asked o1 a simple yes or no question about x86 atomics and it did one of those A or B replies. The first answer was yes, the second answer was no.

When I have kids (or if I ever run a school somehow), I would give my kids hackable, terminal devices that could connect to the internet with work. Both sides are doing it suboptimally. The anti smart phone crowds are suppressing kids natur

For all the discussion about it, this is the simple answer. It's not an engineering or scientific prediction, it's a line from a pitch deck.

This is so frustrating to me. I was involved in a cyber security club that just started in my university. Both complete incentive misalignment and lack of focus. In the first committee meeting I was excited and pitched a plan to go from &q

I have neither but have heard the opposite - a masters is fun, learning a lot and rewarding. A PhD is brutal, under compensated and you'll spend 75% of time filling our grants, paperwork, TAing and everything but research.

Once you start thinking about how to live on Mars, you really appreciate the Earth's biosphere.

Don't forget how the lack of magnetic field and low gravity means even if by some scifi feat of giga-engineering you create an atmospheric on Mars, it'll boil off into space (like the previous one did). Mars loses approximately a

This is where the signaling comes in. Those grads almost certainly didn't have a real need to solve it, but knew that this was a signal companies were looking for, so they trained for it. So there was some correlation with effort and g

If one takes a step back, it's quite ridiculous and apparent the system is really irrational. Why would you ask a new grad about system design? How many new grads have actually had to deal with millions of users?

Big tech doesn't want to fix it. It has been completely taken over by MBAs/HR/make line go up types, who love their little PowerPoint slides showing how outsourcing a team to India will save 60% of costs. To them engineering

Those quotes we're almost certainly made up jokes and not assessments of the US military. The first appears to come from an Internet image attributing it to "A Russian Document". The second has no known source and has been va

The impression and definition come from anthropology and history. In this case Chinese means 中华 and there's the Chinese language, race, and culture or 华文, 汉族, 中华文化. I apologise if I don't grasp some nuance from the words in Chines

Yes, the huge advantage the US have is the ploddering, bullying, all powerful party. Sometimes I think in a funny way the CCP and the US government both want the same thing - the suppression of the economic development of China.

From the perspective of a third party and trying to understand things in a way that separates politics from reality (like PG says arguments involving identity are impossible to resolve), both Taiwanese and what might be called CCP-ese are l

This is a somewhat shallow and more buzz phrasey explanation of it. China wanted to invade Taiwan long before it became a democracy. And China is adjacent to many prosperous democracies like Japan and South Korea. Not to mention the hundred

Destroyed by who - the US or Taiwan? If by Taiwan, IMO it is extremely unlikely. Scorched earth tactics have only been used by the most bitter, determined combatants in a conflict, who are expecting a long protracted war. The cutting edge c
