Long distance (200-800km) passenger rail operators do make money, as long as the infrastructure is at least partially publicly financed. Which is also true for anything happening on roads.

The default setup on startup is 4 cycles for ROM access as you mention, but with system control registers you can control how fast the memory is - apparently current ROM has 3/1 wait states (first/sequential) access for 16 Bit acc

What's also interesting is the story after 1903. The big aircraft builder today isn't the Wright Company, it's Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The Wright brothers got embroiled in patent lawsuits (in particular against Curtiss),

I‘m not so sure YC is really targeting industry experts in their fields who are doing startups, or?

Solo founders can have employees.

by ant6n 2y ago
Wow, there's so few solo founders, and so few non-US companies. I bet nowadays, there's very few non-AI companies. So if you aren't a US-based AI-startup with multiple founders, perhaps ycombinator is not for you.

I agree a matte screen is necessary. I haven’t updated my 2013 mbp, but also not been using it for like 5 years, either. I don’t like Apple trying to upsell me just to have non-mirror screen, and the mbp is pretty heavy too. I think I’ll pa

But you can use an AMD EPYC cpu and get 460GB/s bandwidth. Could probably get 512GB RAM for a lot cheaper than 5K.
