You know, the funny thing is every technically minded friend if mine would apend the evening communing with a scotch and Claude if time permitted. There was even a depressing conversation where we all figured most people are signficantly mo

I dunno, it means Anthropic and OpenAi need to get efficient and maybe cannot just expect trillion dollar ipos?

100%. It would strongly behoove the US to encourage domestic 3d printer manufacture (or friendly countries like Japan), to the point of bannning Bambu and Chinese companies. Obviously we are doing fine for industrial 3d printers, but the sm

Imagine if we can replace all the locomotive drivers with pensions with retired software engineers who literally will pay to do the job remotely? Even better if there is a prediction market and twitch stream on top with bets for the most mu

China has missed their window of opportunity, sadly. For the next big war, the US will simply not even need to air or sea to deliver weapons or supplies (see SpaceX's StarFall, of which 60x4 should fit into Starship). Per my calculatio

No, it is deeply stupid strategy, because groundwater is being depleted much faster than it can be replenished: "We reviewed 160 journal articles, along with supplementary data and reports from GW, agriculture, and meteorological autho

India uses something like a quarter of the world's groundwater. 20 years ago, it was all open channels, which lose 40-80% of water due to evaporation and seepage. Mexico and Egypt fixed this decades ago. Nowadays, farmers have shifted

To be fair, Egypt and Mexico made major reforms to their water usage in the past and succeeded. Compared to India, which failed abjectly.

I concur, this would be good for developing cheap drone warfare capabilities. I mean, I love loud explosions and the sound of freedom because I'm not a wuss, but we need to get our drone game on China's level.

If there were bounties for invalidating peer reviewed research, I suspect this would be a lot leas common.

Just post these on 4chan. That's the fastest way for the issues to get attention both good and bad and get a fix in as fast as possible.

It depends heavily on your manager and skip. My boss values operations and getting things done (including both doing things right from the beginning, and fixing things when we have to cut corners to launch quickly due to exogenous pressure)

Seattle has a few confounding factors: - Higher taxes that are not present in surrounding cities - A public school system that is hot garbage compared to 20 years ago (Eastside schools are still ok) - Amazon as of almost a decade has been p
