The misallocation of capital is a natural result of capitalism, which is a distributed, greedy algorithm.

Do you think Waymo will build its own network or hitchhike onto someone else’s? If they choose the former, I can see them being a contender.

Do most Lyft and Uber employees even have large enough stock grants to buy houses?

How else can you have a standard benchmark for testing applicants against? The issue with just looking at background experience, in my belief, is that there’s too much noise, not enough data, to properly gauge someone.

Don’t we already know how to do this? For example, the concept of companion planting — growing plants which behave symbiotically together — is a centuries old idea. The issue is whether we have an economic incentive to.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by scholars getting credit for their work?

Why don't people just publish through Arxiv? Is there not a discussion forum where people can post, discover, and comment on new papers? If you know of one for CS, do comment.

Oh no, this is setting a bad precedent. If founders can launch a startup within 24 hours, then sometime soon a sadistic tech company will replace their coding challenges with making a startup. \s

If you can't change the incentives, change the game: either cap salaries and stock grants, or provide a universal basic income. The point being is, you want to make it easier for people to make the ethical choice.

Two years ago, I used to spend a lot of my free time browsing Medium, reading articles I otherwise would’ve never discovered. Now? Not so much the case—maybe it’s the degradation in quality or the number of badly written articles. Maybe wha

IIRC, Google can try to dictate a BGP policy that says not to accept any routes that goes through China. However, without any verification checks (via cryptography), an entity can lie about the path that they are advertising.

What are you going to do? Divide the internet in half? I say that in a joking way but it’s a possibility.

The internet was not really built with security in mind. Look at DNSSEC or BGPSEC.

Easier to set up / integrate and looks better than most Wordpress themes that I’ve seen set up.

I did this recently as well! It kind of reminds me of a Black Mirror episode, “Hang the DJ”, where a dating app used ‘cookies’ to arrange matchings between people. I actually wished someone could invent this for the recruitment process—a st

Isn’t there a misalignment between IPv6 adoption and scarcity of IP addresses? We rely on ISPs to adopt IPv6, but if they also own IP space, why would they lower the value of their holdings.

The issue with Leetcode and HackerRank as I see it, is that you're reproving to various companies each time and each interview that you know how to code. However, the only alternative to this seems be an SAT for programmers, which is

Could you elaborate on which recommendation systems do you find crappy?

In reflection, it’s a good idea. Consumer preferences are hard to gauge; there isn’t much of a feedback loop right now with restaurants beyond you either have business and are sustainable, or you don’t and lose it all. This is comparable to

Why is modeling required? Can’t we just put a sensor on every bus, and just return the empirical expected time it takes for the next bus to drive to your station given the time of day and day of week?

The comparison of AI to the Internet doesn’t really make sense: “nerds” are still the ones building out applications; only difference is that those applications can be used by a wider audience. The comparison could be that “nerds” build out

Two notes: 1. This article is not talking about how, for neural networks, you can just have pretrained networks — where the cost of compute and data is incurred there — and then use them to classify images or what not on your decades old co

Isn’t this just the no free lunch theorem? Should you be expecting a more general framework to beat an specially trained algorithm? Another concern is generality: just because it performs well on this dataset does not mean it will perform w
