Cable noob here: can someone explain how this is possible? It's faster than a max speed cpu, so is this done by multiplexing things in parallel over like 10+ wires or something at a low enough voltage where there is minimal induction b

You're mostly right about long distance commuting/travel... but FSD in cities is needed for trucking/delivery/taxis to be fully automated. If you need to pay for a driver to drive then a lot of value is going to be left

Same thing happening to Java. Lack of a strong enough pull to get people into it. If you are learning something new or just graduating, you're way more likely to learn rust/python/javascript as those languages offer something

Another noob here, but I don't think you need to be a pro to understand really... 1) Price(t) = f(demand(t), supply(t)) 2) Inflation hedges have consistent Price over time: Price(t) = f() 3) By the above two, this means that either: a)

Interesting idea... what about something different than ubi? What if rather than being "generous", or only being given to 0.1%, it was given to anyone with a phd, but it was lower, and they need to clock in for 8 hrs to get it? As

It is interesting that you bring up LIGO. I actually had a formative experience in my career around a decade ago related to this. I worked on the project for a summer. During that period, I realized that the process of discovery in the dark

I'd say no, but usually yes. In any competitive environment, usually an entity is incentivized to maximize total value, not value per user. It matters not that a new user is better than the average existing user. It only matters that t

Totally! Simplicity is core to the rest of the others in the list. The other weird one is finance near the bottom. Typical engineering bubble style thinking... make sure your solution actually provides value and that people will pay for it!

Not sure I agree with the theme of this take. Technical debt can be significant and take months to address on a large codebase. This take also places a lot of blame on the devs who have to work on tech debt, where in reality, it's ofte

They missed one reason why it can happen: Because doing things "the right way" is too slow, and the engineer is trying to skirt around process because the company moves way too slowly. Not out of malice or negligence, but out of a
