Clearly it would result in tariffs paid in anti-money…

Clearly? I don’t think that’s certain at all.

Can any single person be trusted with potentially infinite power? Even those with good intentions will use that power to unevenly select for their own biases. However, I’m still skeptical of AGI or even systems that replace programmers, but

€70bn is 150,000+ YC seed rounds? This seems like A LOT of cash filtering into the system whichever way you cut it.

Companies should seriously consider implementing GDPR even in the US, it certainly made taking data dumps of customer data a lot harder and certainly private images like Government IDs were encrypted on disk. I’m surprised at the lack of se

I would love a car platform that ran open source software, I think a lot of people would buy hardware they knew all the software was controlled by the owner. The way electronics plays into cars at this point is quite excessive, even seats a

Yes the government and or private companies don’t have a copy of my fingerprints and I’d honestly rather they didn’t have pictures of my face on record either. Just because we’ve become accustomed to these breaches of our privacy doesn’t me

Everyone deserves food and political freedom in my opinion. We could probably do it too if we actually tried.

It does send telemetry and analytics I believe? I should have been broader in the tracking I specified…

What’s the Duck Duck Go equivalent for editors these days? Everything seems to be spying on me and/or offering to send my code to AI in the cloud.

EMP would kill electronics no?

Haha, have you never worked with a prolific junior that wants power and openly questions everything you do, their role and any limitations you place on them. These kids won’t care it’s not their remit.

I’ve never really understood how just adding extra invisible stuff to make the equations work is justified either? It seems more likely there is simply something wrong with the equations.

Can you tell me which regulations are stopping them? The UK for example bent over backwards to make acquiring a banking licence part of a clear process. I think this is harder at the EU level but for me laws like GDPR are actually very reas

You’re completely misinterpreting and taking out of context the whole point I’m trying to make for a cheap swipe at Europe. Do you actually disagree with what I said or are you trying to win Internet points with semantics? Do you even disag

I have an alternative theory about tech and growth in Europe - the rich are too greedy here and are not optimistic enough about growth. They: a) don’t fund risky things b) don’t believe Europe can create unicorns so it becomes a self fulfil

When I go to a shopping website I want to be able to tell my browser "hey please go through all the sideboards on this list and filter out for the ones that are larger than 155cm and smaller than 100cm, prioritise the ones with dark wo

This looks cool! I’ve been looking for a good valve amp to build from a kit, ideally I want it to be integrated, EL34 tubes and at least 25 watts, anyone know of anything? Bonus points for designed/supplied in the UK.

Yeah, I assume you mean California couldn't defend itself from the rest of the US under a California exit.

Withdraw and watch Russia start a war with Europe.

Europe won’t fight the US, that’s insanity!

So you’re saying these tests won’t also mean people are purged?

How will you use your gun to protect yourself when the government is kidnapping people? They are starting to test this power with foreign students. If you think it won’t be anyone who disagrees with them eventually this whole thing looks ex

I think this is great and I was thinking about doing the same thing, you could use a few different LLMs to do a kind of adversarial check of calories for a thing and use a load of other techniques to improve the dataset over time. It's

Actually, thinking about this for a second, this is a billion dollar AI company - you could probably write a system now that can extract patterns and organise data in internal systems and automatically create a nice API, documentation, how

Palantir don't care about this, they will likely turn it into a massive cluster fuck and charge £2000+ per day person and extract probably billions from the tax payer. If you ask anyone who has worked for these bastards (I have worked

As an aside I actually regret signing up for 23andMe, not because this isn't a great idea but more because I find the idea that the future having copies of your DNA around we might end up in some weird sci-fi universe where people can
