I believe they were trying to force all Wagner fighters to sign a new contract with the Ministry of Defence by July 1st. Apparently this is no longer the case, although nothing confirmed 100% yet.

Looks like Prigozhin has got what he wanted? - current military leaders are being removed - new contract cancelled Makes Putin look rather weak.

Compared to basically any modern city in Europe or Asia, yes. Downtown SF feels completely different - dirty, much less safe, homeless people and drugs everywhere. It's not even close. Note, I'm only talking about downtown SF, not

Yes, my main point was that sync teams suffer from a lack of context, but that Context Warehouses will be able to help.

I wrote a blog a few weeks ago on how LLMs will enable ‘Context Warehouses’ for work. Looks like they may be realised even sooner than I thought! https://macroapp.io/blog/the-context-warehouse

Intel claim this should be by 2025 (once their 18A process comes on line). Obviously they could miss this target, but they say they're still on track.

I'm glad with this decision. Not sure the exact logic makes sense, but in general the top US tech companies (Google, Amazon, MS, Meta, Apple) are too big. They wield huge power and can snuff out entire startup sectors with loss-leading

There are lots of tech companies (e.g. Fintech, games etc) however not much hard tech. Like the rest of Europe, we're completely reliant on the US/Asia for cutting edge chips and phones.

It's a classic misleading but true statement from the government. They can mandate apps scan messages client side before sending E2E.

This seems odd to me, given that he looks (from the outside at least) to be one of the most ambitious CEO's around. E.g. Building a fulfilment network to compete with Amazon.

Many companies have weekly all-hands. E.g. My previous company had a weekly all-hands for the entire company (150 people).

I don’t understand the value of Solana. Crypto’s value (at least in part) depends on it being decentralised. I.e trustless. Solana looks like it was relatively centralised, so what’s the point? And why would it be worth much even before FTX

I'm not sure that the statements that a) there are bad actors in the space, and b) there will be a crash, are particularly insightful here. Both of these were predicted/expected by many, including many crypto supporters. The key q

Sweet for many, but very tough for those on visas who will have to now leave the US and abandon the lives they built there.

Surprised by all the skepticism in this thread. The way I see it, Intel is the only real hedge against the China/Taiwan situation, and (at least according to their public statements) they're on track for the upcoming process nodes

Three reasons for this: 1. Difficult/lengthy application processes can filter for intent 2. Structured data (obtained during sign-up) is useful for recruitment platforms 3. Some ATS's are just bad Point 1. might be difficult for S

It's possible what you describe could be achieved by AI compositing. I.e. The AI creates a central view of what it believes is the most relevant info for your current task. This doesn't require any changes to the programs themselv
