I second this. Probably my favorite podcast right now. Interestingly, I admire Mark's guts to make somewhat bold calls early, but I trust the co-hosts' (Marissa, Chris, and Dante) takes a bit more for some reason.

You are kidding yourself if you believe Europe will be an economic winner at any time in the not-distant future.

I don't the current economy is "entirely" the result of bad policy, but I do think it is the primary contributor. I read/listen to a lot of economic commentators as an interest of mine, and there is pretty broad agreemen

That implies that economic activity is confined to this planet. Even today we can see this doesn't hold true as we already have activity in orbit. Also, economic activity is less and less tied to physical constraints as technology prog

I'm not sure what you're saying. Heat pumps are a completely different thing than geothermal energy.

If they are excluded, we should be calling the score something other than just "IQ". I don't think we should be moving the goal posts for some testers (machines) just because they are significantly better at some types of que

More beneficial in rural areas than in urban areas because of the capacity limits. Not more beneficial in urban areas than alternative providers.

Nowhere did I suggest that I am at those higher levels of play. I just know that they exist.

But one of the most common strategies is to posture as if you have a good hand even though in reality you don't. That is deception.

Well I guess you better hope your kid kindly shows their hand after you fold to their shove.

That's "the entire strategy" for becoming a non-beginner. Poker game theory gets much more complicated at higher levels of play.

The point being made was that a chess player is not able to foresee all possible future combinations on a chess board (at least until close to the very end), so they must make "educated guesses" as to the best move to make.

I agree, except that it seems dynamism is almost restricted to digital tech. I wish tech would spread its dynamism a little better into legacy industries, and give some productivity gains/disruption to those areas.

But I feel like the point is that, in order to reach AGI, the most important area for AI to be good at first is software development. Because of the feedback loop that could allow.

Yep, this is exactly what would happen. Anyone who has worked in industries adjacent to these types of people knows how it is. At this price point, you're essentially only going to be renting to people who are currently homeless, which

I don't understand the purpose of consumers owning individual solar panels in a large array. How is that better than a single entity owning the whole array, and what function does the consumer provide?

Drivers make profits as well, no?

Could you cite a source for the japanese car ban claim please?

That assumes that compute = effort, which is not how most people would interpret it I think.

I think there's plenty of ground for his critics to stand on. We already had another strategy, and it was called the trans pacific partnership. Trump pulled the US out of that in his first term.

Surely by pipeline or ship I think. When he says "physical barrels of oil" I believe he means he's actually buying the oil itself (as opposed to buying a contract or derivative of some sort). I don't think he means that

Lowering costs is obviously a major goal of AI. However, I seriously doubt that the intent of C-suites is to cause skill atrophy. It's just an unfortunate byproduct of replacing humans with computers. Skill atrophy doesn't lower

How would it be possible to critique these partisan comments by Trump and Musk without writing an article like this? What would you have preferred they said?

I agree. Hardware improvement will hit a wall at some point. From then on, all performance improvement will have to come from software optimization. I do wonder if AI will allow that to happen much quicker. Could an AI just crawl through an

To add a few other factors: 1. Performance in hot/cold environment 2. Safety can be broken down to chemical toxicity, and thermal stability (likelihood to catch on fire) 3. Ability to hold a full charge for extended periods of time (se

Weird, I didn't read it like that at all. The article really just comes off as an explanation of the effects of decentralized solar on existing utility companies. It doesn't ever say that solar installers are bad. In fact, it even

What I wonder is: Of the items that are rerouted, does Vietnam (or other similar countries) tend to move up the value chain over time? Or do the supply chains just stay as they are. I suspect, possibly hopefully, that over time the "re

Did you mean to respond to the parent comment? The comment you're responding to gives credit to the author for acknowledging recent anti-immigration sentiment in Canada.

It is true that high reps/low weight will build more muscle endurance, but less strength. However, it is a myth that it results in more "tonality". Muscle definition is only a result of muscle size and body fat percentage. So
