Yep. I love valve but let’s not forget that they are making 17+ BILLION dollars a year, 50+ million per employee. Gabe seems like a pretty good guy but he bought a $70m mansion and builds yachts as a side business… If they want to increase

Is this something that is more true of a Chinese model than any other model of a different national origin? Genuine question: generalized up from individual models to “models from country X”, is there any country that doesn’t have this exac

Jmap is a desperately needed upgrade, but email as a whole needs to be rebuilt. The fact that it’s so core to our current infrastructure, but is really poorly suited for maybe 75% of its usage, is a bad situation that’s only going to get wo

This is so hilariously stupid, the invasion of Ukraine is so completely impossible to defend that all of these talking points smell like a third grader wrote them. In a rush, at the beginning of class. “The moral dimension is illusory“ Yeah

Amazon and Microsoft have shown considerable decay in their most visible products. Maybe it’s AI, maybe it’s just momentum, maybe it’s something else. But they AI clearly isn’t helping them and they have near infinite access(compared to me

The whole miniseries is (or was very recently) free on YouTube. I recommend it, it’s very unique and interesting

Yup. If solar panels are good enough and cheap enough, if grid storage and battery density improve fast enough, the economic costs of staying on fossil fuels will create huge pressure in the political space and economic competition. You can

The economy is deeply weird and irrational too. In many of the same ways as politics.

Certainly I think it’s something worth actually trying in the modern age. We’ve had quite a long run now of the representative democracy, I think we should all be open to talking about and trialing these “okay so what’s next?” Options. Befo

We have a very large Amazon warehouse/center in town, and during my last prime trial I received maybe 5/25 items listed under “2 day shipping” in actually 2 days. Nearly all took 4 or more. Cannot even imagine 1 day.

It’s insanely impressive and I’m so glad that the space has actual competition

I would say about 99% of the population views software corporations as these monolithic inhuman cubes of pure shitanium. What these posts are important for is 1: reminding the average population that corporations are just abstract human pyr

They KEEP adding utter cancerous garbage to the homepage/new tab page. I recently installed Firefox from scratch for a coworker who was having chrome-only issues(yes, they do exist!) and was blown away by how insanely gross the default

Yeah if they double down and keep investing in the tech improvements required, I genuinely think Apple AR can become the next big hardware form. Nothing will beat the iPhone but this could easily stand beside their laptops as a major access

Apple has done a good job in the recent past of providing secure information partition options; locked notes, secure folders, etc. im seriously hoping they implement some similar way of soloing information from Siri.

Is revenue the only metric we care about for this? Seems like stability and p-e ratio should at least be a factor? Which you can’t get until the ipo has actually settled.

Nerds are a group that have a separate definition of social peer and “cool” but aspire just as much as other groups to achieve social status or coolness. It’s exceptionally rare to encounter any person, adult or otherwise, that genuinely ho

The question is whether or not those industry professionals are speaking in their own interest, in the interest of all stockholders, in the interest of the economy as a whole, or any mix of the above. This is why non partisan financial inst

Investment and finance in general, at this scale, is far more geopolitics than it is math. It’s self evident. We’ve all seen how the “math” on so much of the AI business sector literally doesn’t check out, and here there are: still ballooni

Yes, an AI making massive gains in bug finding is hugely important and good, it may even lead to a net neutral with the amount of bugs introduced by other AI coding processes, but it’s a far cry from how mythos is portrayed most of the time

Bullshit work has hit escape velocity, won’t be long now before we have huge warehouses filled with people doing sudoku for their daily food allowance, and that’s just how our entire economy functions. How are we sliding face first into “sn

Gueman might be the only leaker in tech who, so far, doesn’t seem to fuck around. Low miss rate, rarely exaggerates. Of course that could change and he could always get insider info that is wrong.

Watching a full video of A and B comparisons shows the massive weaknesses of the tech central to people’s complaints. ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YjvZMbsjEhY ) skip to 3:46 and mute. You’ll see in the hogwarts examples,
