So much this. Animus towards Airbnb is simply envy. It is not possible to profitably run one while trashing a neighborhood. People will spend twenty minutes reacting emotionally to this, never pay much attention to empirical changes in res

Remote work makes modern life possible. In almost every major US city commutes, and the pressures of caring for a family 10x'd over the last 50 years. In their heart of hearts everyone knows 90% of the pandemic was not fear of a virus,

... I once had someone in publishing try to offer me nature acceptance in exchange for ... things. The outsized role of these journals in the scientific community when reviews could be done in the open is pretty messed up.

If today's scientific community were as functional as Rudy Marcus' we'd still be progressing. The key moment of his career was prediction of an inverted trend in an unexplored experimental regime. In today's academia, he

Imo the whole US medical complex needs competition from a small but sophisticated libertarian state without any of the regulations that formed the present system, and I think it will happen. The market demands it, and the world would be bet

No you are missing the fact that if the qubits are coupled the systems fundamental gap has shrunk demanding a lower temperature for the same error rate. You should think more about why your rosy scheme hasn't worked yet if you can&#x2

Haha a self promotional blog post without any experimental data from a lab self-interested in the technology is somehow not persuasive to me. There is no way to add entangled particles to an entangled photon state without new light matter i

Yes, but all existing photonic platforms use post-selection which is even more clearly exponentially lossy. Although this could be solved with a deterministic single photo source if one can be found. Photonic quantum computing is an especia

More likely a play to reduce battery lifetime by increasing incidence of full discharge... Note a year ago they settled a lawsuit about throttling CPUs with updates on older iphones for the same purpose. The environmental footprint of an ip

Note: that there is good physical reasons why the cost of QC may grow exponentially with qbits. Refrigeration is exponentially inefficient as T=>0 and the gap of a quantum system which sets the temperature you must cool to shrinks as you

What exactly is the motive for this type of disinformation? An effort to foment resistance to the Taliban? Warmongering? A needle to complain about the withdrawal? I can't understand the motivation. What sort of audience is so credulou

In a way we don't disagree. I think citizens would be quite happy with a solution which makes the homeless invisible by sequestering them. Its probably also the best for the health of these people. But remember how we got here. Reagan

Half the dysfunction with political efforts to ameliorate homelessness is the toxicity of touching a difficult issue. Homelessness is beyond any one term or individual to solve. Certainly you cannot cure the addictions, disabilities or madn

The meaning of the word "marriage" has changed significantly even over the last 50 years in the west, and bears no resemblance to the the institution with the same name that existed before that. The idea that marriage would be cho

A family of posts in this genre for every db would be quite a useful resource.

This is so disgusting and enraging. I hope the whole startup community blackballs @sama for this.

Far and away the main cause of house price inflation has been zero-interest rate fed policy. Demand for 1m houses was high because people could afford it. It will take a while for people's expectations to normalize, but if rates remain

Do you remember when they opened blue checkmark accounts to verify idents and promptly took money from people, didn't check id's and had rampant hilarious impersonation :P... This doesn't touch any of that.

A) Tune out anything realtors tell you if you want to be an intelligent consumer. B) Volume has collapsed because people in homes with low rate morts can't move. These prices are "less solid" because liquidity is poor. In Au

Do you believe in evolution or not? Personally I think this is the kick in the ass humanity has needed for a long time. We were never the center of the universe and there was never a chance of anything resembling today's humans leaving

Since it was the result of single moment in time 100 years ago and never adjusted, yes it was basically an accident of history.

In many cases the loans are to depositors (and the debt is questionable). The just thing would be make depositors without debt with svb whole first, ofc there is no system of fairness in finance.

- Just a little bit of ideological over-simplification in this piece and , generally speaking, a false equivalence between technology and libertarian deregulation. There's plenty of room for technological authoritarianism, ask anyone w

I went to the conference, and I do think that there will be a similar wave of revaluation for many of the companies involved. There was generally a lack of critical thinking about moats, competition and other business realities that bring p

So do something about it? Certainly no male can advocate for simple merit based hiring in academia anymore.
