What happens when you make it to Z do they then start doing Z1 rounds or does it reset to AA like excel (though that would be confusing)? Hex?

This is the answer for gen pop. Gemini is going to mop up the floor on most use cases as its ingrained in google search.

I think there is a real argument here that everyone will love to yell at you. Same thing happened with California. Its always a balance -- if the tax is too much people will leave, if they get the number just right in that its a nuisance

Yeah not really. It generates money for the city to run their programs without raising taxes on residents. Those properties aren't being purchased by anyone who can't already get a home. I think the revenue is probably overstate

Exploit the West? Thats rich and definitely a western centric short sighted viewpoint.

I think the difference here is that you guys are talking ethics. And in fact what were talking about is enforcement. While its unethical to pick one flower (in it's purest form, robbing the commons of the beauty of a flower), it won&

Ive seen Battery + islanding sold as a deal sweetener with fed funding part of it. If you live in a grid stable place its kind of expensive for what it is… and no arbitrage wont make the money back in 99% of the places

Those hanging versions are micro units for an apartment. Definitely only offload small amount of load. All for it but not for simgle family home market.

Saying there is no AI boom? You are either lying to yourself or not paying attention to whats whappening. Are there problems? Absolutely - there have been problems at every single second of humanity. We will always be plagued with problem

When your public position is that you don't own equity in the company it implies that you aren't making money off of it. However if you have all sorts of side deals through intermediaries and you are making money off the entity i

huh? What are you are referring to is the lasting impacts of multiple years of inflation after living without it for 10 years. Those issues predate Musk v. Altman and would be happening without them. AI build out / boom would be full

You are really giving him a lot of credit here. Thats mostly the news cycle doing what it does - focusing on the big stories and loudest speakers.

Doesn't Sam Altman famously not own OpenAI? His whole arrangement is so shady.

by boringg 5mo ago
Nothing to do with Altman v Musk. That would be an AI boom that would be going full steam ahead without either of them.

CNBC hard fumbled in that they didn't even understand what the offer was. The CEO put that on full display and embarrassed the hosts basic knowledge of finance. It was hard to watch.

I mean they make a good point -- ebay isn't a serious company anymore. It really needs someone with a vision to rebuild it. That its limping along and executives are essentially bleeding a previously valuable internet asset dry is ki

That and how many developers who would write first round in Go/Rust/C++ would think it beneath them to write in Python :) The complaints alone wouldn't be worth it even if there was some suprising specific use case.
