Cities are composed of people. Obviously, it doesn't make any sense to say that a city wants something that its people do not want. The people in a city want businesses because they want good jobs and services to be available to them.

Why do you assume only poor people are annoying neighbors? Rich people can afford bigger speakers, more booze, and to not have a job so they can stay up all night. I think wealth is positively correlated with the problems you describe.

If the land is taxed then you must find a renter willing to pay more than your tax, otherwise you would sell. Meanwhile renters will search for the lowest rent, which is naturally found in high density areas. So cities would still form, and

Clearly this is a common sentiment, but none of the comments on this post seem to provide any evidence of it. The W3C has hundreds of members. Does Google really sideline them all? Are there specific examples where Google strong-armed the o

The trajectory actually seems to be plateauing already. OAI is struggling mightily to improve GPT enough to call it 5.0 and te struggles will only get harder as the number gets higher

I thought the runtime was essentially a fixed cost, and that a compiled Go binary would be similar in size to the native binary for the same source tree. Are you saying it grows faster?

Simply answering "no" when that's the truth could be illegal too. The ability to say no creates the ability to say yes as well. If I ask Apple whether they got an order and they say "no", then a year later they say

Not having to worry about any of those details is the whole point of having a competitive market in the first place. Any company that isn't serious about avoiding overpayment (even to their own CEO) becomes obsolete. And yes, it's

That may be true. I can only assure you that the army of government bureaucrats who do that work in countries with universal healthcare tend to be less efficient.

I'm going to go ahead and defend them because private insurance is actually far from the most broken thing about US healthcare, yet they seem to shoulder all the blame. Average health insurance profit margin in US is ~3%. That's n

Can confirm. I worked in gcloud for years. There are so many policies in place to keep customer data secret, even when you're on-call and trying to solve customer issues, it's actually annoying. It makes sense. Some gcloud custome

Depends. It could shift the calculus of AI companies to curtail their free tiers and actually accelerate a reduction in traffic.

They're the ones serving the expensive traffic. Wut if people were to form a volunteer bot net to waste their GPU resources in a similar fashion, just sending tons of pointless queries per day like "write me a 1000 word essay that

I think the evolution so far has been understandable. OpenAI was never going to achieve their mission without many billions from investors, and that required paying them back. The idea to do so then funnel the rest of the profits to the non

Sure, but if you want to compete with Tesla, you need many billions in funding and 10+ years to catch up. If you want to compete with OpenAI, you need maybe half a billion (easy to raise in the current climate; many have done so) and mb a f

It doesn't really matter how much people are willing to pay. It matters how much margin the market will allow you to charge. OpenAI may be a bit better than most competitors most of the time (IMO they keep getting leap-frogged by Anthr

Tesla is profitable and they have a big technological moat. OpenAI is in a very competitive industry and they burn ~5B a year.

Ya I think they probably will, but "the chatgpt company" is not worth 157B. It might not even be worth 1B.

At this point I think even the most bearish have to concede that LLM's are an amazing tool. But OpenAI was never supposed to be about creating tools. They're supposed to create something that can completely take over entire projec

Accents mean different things in different languages. I'm assuming the author was invoking Spanish, where the acute accent impacts syllable stress but not pronunciation.
