It's more fundamental than this, IMO. No matter how much you invest into faster iteration cycles, physical world just takes a long time, and the worst part is, you either have to get some very complicated thing right the first time, or

I don't even think it's the cost. The actual formerly labor-intensive work is mostly done by robots now (save for e.g. the garment industry which is still only very partially automated). It's just that anything in the physica

No level of a lot of other things is safe for my health either. Especially work.

At the same time I heard they are greatly expanding their Indian office (though I do not know if these positions will be moved there or eliminated entirely). Seems unwise to shift the jobs there, given the recent de-globalization moves.

There are plenty of EEs in the good ol' US of A, they're just working as software engineers at the moment out of necessity, since there aren't really any EE jobs here, outside the defense sector and a few large companies. But

FWIW I had moderate sleep apnea (nowhere near as bad as what you're describing) and I "cured" it by forcing myself to breathe through my nose at least 90% of the time, including when sleeping. Some people tape their mouth shu

Several incorrect assumptions in this take. For one thing, 16 bit is not necessary. For another 140GB/token holds only if your batch size is 1 and your sequence length is 1 (no speculative decoding). Nobody runs LLMs like that on those

Do you know how many Chinese parts go into a Boeing plane? You do need to make them here, too. "Sweatshops" is a red herring. There's no way there's more than $10 of labor per pair of shoes. If we survived Biden's $

Art of the deal. 10% seems "reasonable" to everyone now. That was not the case a week ago. Meanwhile a bunch of overleveraged stock market buffoons were taken to the cleaners.

Yes. DOGE is taking care of that, too.

Yeah, instead we should just print money and hang that debt around our kids and grandkids necks, all while further deindustrializing. That's a bold strategy breadwinner, let's see how it plays out for your grandkids in the long te

I would like to finally have SMB support which doesn't eventually crap out and require a reboot. Some of us do still have to interact with Windows shares.

I mean, if it can be made in India, it can be made in the US. But not in the next couple of years. And then there's the issue of imported components, especially the camera cluster - the most expensive part of the phone.

Broaden your search. Apply to startups, for less money / more equity - there are plenty of them in the Boston area. Basically just do a sober assessment of how much you need to live on (perhaps with a roommate), add 30% to that and tha

You think he, or the GOP would "benefit" from the stock market collapse? That contradicts all available evidence, at least for the short to medium term. I think the midterms are going to be an unprecedented bloodbath. Boomers won&

I'd like to eventually see the "import certificate" system that Buffett proposed in the 2003 article I linked above. It's a more free-market solution which does not pipe revenue through US government where a large chunk

A gross underestimation, IMO. When I was in big data, fewer than 5% of data written was ever touched again, and only a single digit number of our large customers (out of tens of thousands) actually made real use of their "big data&quot

Actually, no. They haven't "ceded" a damn thing. If they did, the GOP would be working on Trump's legislative agenda, which is something it's been sabotaging again and again in spite of having a slim majority in bot

Buffett's suggestion, while elegant, would require that Congress passes legislation on this, which there's zero percent chance that it would, in its present state.

The US has 2.5x the incarceration rate of China, and 1.8x the incarceration rate of Russia. How's that for "authoritarian regime"? Or is this "different" somehow?

That's the trouble with "barrier" tariffs and weighted tariff calculations. E.g. a lot of US agricultural products are subject to up to 50% tariff in the EU, so the US is simply unable to sell them there in significant quanti

Because you don't know when the dip will end, and how much lower it could go. People could (and do) choose to exit the market if they expect further volatility, and when they do exit, they need something to park their cash.

What do you mean? We can't afford to finance their security anymore. Nor can we afford their protective tariffs against our goods. Why can't we afford it? Because we're running $1.8T budget deficit, and paying $1T+ in interes
