The bun acquisition is driven by current AI capabilities. This argument requires us to believe that AI will just asymptote and not get materially better. Five years from now, I don't think anyone will make these kinds of acquisitions a

Yeah, my rule when I got started was "If I ever lose a lifetime aggregated $3000 in the markets, then the markets are not for me". Then once you're ahead in the markets, it's fine to continue trading. (Note: I ended up b

Whatever you decide, be aware of the following: - You will sleep 5% better every night from here on out if your mortgage is paid off - You'll sleep 5% worse every night from here on out if you have 300k riding in the markets

No, I don't think bitcoin could go to zero- hardly seems like a rational opinion at this point to think it could go to zero (short of a human extinction event, or near-extinction event, or some other extremely remote abstract theoretic

Just give us a date/year/etc in which you think the value of bitcoin will go to zero If you are unable to do that, then you implicitly agree, as pretty much everyone does now, that bitcoin has an intrinsic market value that will r

It can't be true because it sounds like science fiction to you? Everything about every part of AI in 2025 sounds exactly like science fiction in every way. We are essentially living in the exact world described in science fiction books

Weak ai is a problem, but isn't going to lead to 100% human extinction Human extinction won't happen until a couple years later, with stronger ai (if it does happen, which I unfortunately think it will- if we remain on our current

I don't like straight displays, things at the corners are a different size than things in the middle, because they are further from my head. On curved displays, objects on different areas of the screen are the same size as they origina

Markets require property rights, property rights require institutions that are dependent on property-rights holders, so that they have incentives to preserve those property rights. When we get to the point where institutions are more depend

Pure speculation, but I would guess people first mixed wax and lamp oil in different ways to still get the burning effect of oil, with less of the cost of the oil, then added a wick to help light the oil/wax. Then eventually that produ

Unless you do drones only on your private property, they are inherently a creepy, invasive technology (even though I think they're super cool and like playing with them, too)

But junk food is fun: Maybe we can eat junk food, have fun in life, and still be reasonably healthy, with the help of science (and if glps don't work well enough to allow this, then maybe the next medicine in the pipeline)

great to learn from the headline that this tech only works for disaster response maps, and isn't usable for other types of maps, like mapping out the front lines of a war

Let's hope you are right, and that the limitations of AI will never improve, and that all of us get to live out our full natural lifespans without AI xrisk

As far as I understand, coding ability of AIs is now driven mostly entirely by RL, as well synthetic data generated by inference time compute combined with code execution tool use. Coding is arguably the single thing least affected by a sho

sort of, except I think the future of llms will be to to have the llm try 5 separate attempts to create a fix in parallel, since llm time is cheaper than human time... and once you introduce this aspect into the workflow, you'll want t
