A sum or product of human knowledge is not humanity: that specific mission (putting it into space for preservation or contact) has been done (Voyagers and others) and is done continuously (radiowaves). Making a dent into making humans a mul

If someone had the tech to cool stuff in space, that is required for this to happen, they’d have tons of easier and more lucrative opportunities right now on Earth to become the new richest person. Where is the tech?

Oh wow. If that's 170k as an employee (not a contractor), yes, that's definitely impressive.

2k for a rent in Paris gets you nice places if you have the time to spend to look for it. Cooking your own food at home definitely makes a huge difference every month. The suburb is quite nice too, if you get a few home-office days. For 4k?

I definitely hire talent that can grow the business, and grow with it. And that means knowing your 0's and 1's better than knowing how to operate the latest trendy calculator: it's easier to understand the calculator, when yo

But you still won't get with 170k in the Bay Area, what you get in Paris, Madrid, Nantes or Barcelona with 80k. In France, if you get 80k net, you do actually get ~160k, half of which is collected/distributed before by your employ

That's up to you (and the customers) to understand that the location where the compute/data is happening is as important a criteria to consider. As it is today.

And most (not all) of these workloads are custom software that try to fully reproduce/plumb functionalities that already mostly exist in Unix tools, with worse performance, instead of using/plugging into them.

This has happened about every year in the past 10 years during Summer in France at least (I guess Spain/Portugal/Italy, all mediterranean countries are alike in this regard, even most continental European countries).

There is at least one obvious company in the list where the founder does not advertise the slightest discernment in his public discourse (about the tech, about the business and about the impact on society). We do not have to be charitable w

Downvote as much as you want, this is a simple observation of a truth of life: introducing/forcing antisocial behaviour on people (filming without their consent, "cosplaying" intellect (with AI)) begets antisocial behaviour.

It's amazing as, however good they could be at technology, they are so bad at just reading the room. AI/smart glasses companies don't realise it yet it seems but I feel the backlash against smart glasses is likely to be very

The thing is that in Europe, you don't need your employer to have health insurance. It's more beneficial for everyone in the end (well, obviously not for the private health insurance companies who care more about their margins tha

I expected Anthropic to be clever enough to position themselves differently from OpenAI. This sounds like a failing marketing message; their critical long-term customers are people, not CEOs.

Yes, but you both don’t raise investor money with efficient understanding of the chaining of CLI tools that already do the job, neither convince your clients that they can get value for their money.

Of course not. But that's only the raw tech. The tech will still be there. As much as blockchains, crypto, NFTs and such, whose bubbles have not yet burst (well, the NFT one did, it was fast). But (Gen)AI today is much less about the t
