In the UK, there are massive incentives for "tax efficient" purchasing of vehicles. ie, there was a point where everyone who could was driving around in a Porsche Taycan because the tax implications of buying it were comically p

Just to be clear, the UK system is much simpler than the US system. There is just a bad law. That law could be repealed with a majority in parliament tomorrow, until it is repealed (spoiler it absolutely will not be repealed) the regulator

I don't like this line of reasoning because it's largely just crystalizing a loss. We have this in the UK - houses of multiple occupancy. It's a great idea where you take a home that in the 1980s would house a family and spli

Man I feel so dumb. Why haven't I been doing this in my job, if I could just see the commit that fixed my issue this would all be so easy.

Zuckerberg rushing into every new fad with billions of dollars has somehow tricked people into thinking that's what big tech is about and all of them should be shovelling money into this. But actually every other company has been much

Perplexity has really convinced me about this. There is a clear difference between automated bots scraping data at bulk for later use, and automated bots working on behalf of users on direct requests. I can see a reasonable argument that so

Woah woah woah woah woah. You've missed the obvious conclusion of what Adam Jackson CEO of Braintrust is saying. The obvious conclusion is that Adam Jackson is a liar. Oh yeah, you would think that this AI slop bucket at the front of

Funny. The story here is that Youtube is asking every customer for legal id - presumably to enhance their adtech stack and target those customers more accurately. Obviously this isn't a great story, so they've screamed "won&#

There's so much here, and not necessarily in a good way. The way this guy talks sounds a lot like those old effective alturist arguments that went along the lines of "Well if there's a 1% chance we can save a billion lives a

If you go to nvidia's jobs website today you'll find they're actively hiring FPGA developers for ASIC prototyping. Obviously they're not dumping their 5090 RTL straight into some 10 metre wide FPGA chip. First, they grab

I think this has put into words a reason why I bounced off using AI this way, when I need something done I often have a rough idea of how I want it done, and how AI does it often doesn't match what I want, but because it's gon

It's well known reddit has been eyeing up an IPO, and as a result it's pretty unsurprising they're searching for ways to juice their metrics in the build up. Tells a nice growth story so you can dump stock on retail and it&#x

I think it's actually not - they mean the side face of the wheel, https://images-stag.jazelc.com/uploads/theautopian-m2en/cher... They're talking about the wheels, not the tyres.

This is... dense. And I think in some ways it's just giving credence to things we should just discard. For example, >In 2001, he uses this method to plot a graph and then predicts unbounded life expectancy by 2011 and then Dan cites

Yeah the thing that struck me about his Twitter thread was the absurd scare quotes around the terms he clearly disagreed with. It doesn’t come across as well intentioned at all. It’s like a get out of jail free card for literally any behavi

This sounds like a project to almost do the exact opposite of what is required in the market. The real need in the market today is a way of auditing the process by which someone creates a carbon credit. You need to be able to trust that thi

I'm finding it difficult to engage with the "Let's pretend USD is a ponzi scheme" pre-condition of some of this. I also think that the premise that RAI is distinct from ETH is... tenuous. The problem that UST-TERRA had w

Quite recently I quit a company just as they were bringing in OKRs. The reason they bought in OKRs was because they felt that the engineering organisation was failing to meet the needs of the company. So they put together a list of Objectiv

They can create a Texas edition, but they can't make their non-Texas edition unavailable in Texas. So they'll still be subject to law suits based on their main edition.
