That's a misunderstanding of how companies at this phase of growth work. They are only "loosing" money because they invest so much in growth. If they slowed down growth, they could be profitable (they have 78% gross margins),

The Arm people would still be there running the company, it's not like they all get fired and overnight it's Nvidia people with no experience doing it.

96% accuracy may be a problem... Depends how many false positives and false negatives, but if there's 4% of false negatives and there's, say, 1% of the tested population that has the disease, then even a positive test may mean you

If anyone wants more, I liked the recent biography: "A Mind at Play" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32919530-a-mind-at-play The author is interviewed in the documentary.

I recently finished Rocket Men by Robert Kurson, about Apollo 8. That was great. But the ultimate book on Apollo for me is still Chaikin's 'Man on the Moon' which details all of the Apollo missions from interviews with the as

Was it gelcaps or dry tablets? Vitamin D is fat-soluble so much better absorbed in gelcap format (and taken with a meal).

Her podcast has been a great source of interviews with interesting researchers. Her guest appearances have also been great (she's been on Peter Attia's podcast).

I think it's a case of security being hard and an arms race. Kind of like Google and Facebook have to constantly run faster to stay in the same place against attackers, and sometimes attackers win a little more, and then they again get

Fish roe is apparently an excellent source of phospholipids, so health-wise, it's probably pretty good. But krill oil is probably a cheaper source.

I don't know. High-volume cheap cars can certainly be more reliable than low volume, expensive high-end cars, simply because that's how manufacturing works. Corollas and Civics can last forever.

Lots of things that work aren't supported by scientific research (yet?). It's your choice not to use it, but to claim that something is bollocks probably means that you will never follow what most people tell you about lots of thi

So many, and I wish I could write a long paragraph on each, but I'm unfortunately short on time. I'm posting any in case just one person who hasn't heard of those checks them out and gets value: -Godel, Escher, Bach (Douglas

Toyota has squandered its huge lead in hybrids and is now quite late to EVs. I'm glad to see them make these moves, but this should've happened over 10 years ago. These things take time.

Guetlzi comparison is mostly against JPEGs you can find in the wild (ie. from a digital camera). In my experience, Guetzli is a lot slowly than mozjpeg, but tops up at much higher space savings when the conditions are right.

Looks interesting, though on recent iOS devices, images will be in HEIF format, which is about 50% the size of JPEG at similar quality, and MozJPEG isn't compatible with it afaik. If you're interested in compressing JPEGs without

I was making more of a general statement about the dynamics involved. Of course, then you have to look at it case-by-case.

Descent was great, but it was also much harder to play, and to build levels for, which kind of limited its appeal, IMO. DOOM hit a sweet spot of fast-paced gameplay, really cool ambience (for preteens and teens especially), and lower techni

Owning shares is not a negative. It's a positive. It means that he's more aligned with shareholders than with management. Boards full of non-shareholders tend to prioritize the paycheck they get as board members, so they tend to n
