Software/hardware co-evolution. Wouldn't be the first time we went down that road to good effect. For anything that can be run remotely, it'll always be deployed and optimized server-side first. Higher utilization means mor

Eh, little of column A, little of column B on the "conned." They were offered a contract, took it, got something (a home they probably couldn't afford), and then lost their home when rates exploded. "Conned" seems a

2008 showed us what happens when idiocy and fraud become commonplace and without consequence. Better a few lose their shirts, such that others maintain a healthy dose of fear to motivate due diligence.

If counterparties bought Credit Suisse’s AT1s without reading the terms, and therefore failing to protect themselves against risk, they were idiots and deserve what they get -- nothing. For starters, if they misunderstand how something work

I am not an international diplomat, but my understanding is that international treaties on large issues are usually divided into two types: frameworks and protocols. Frameworks essentially state "This is something we all want, and here

Imho, if WikiLeaks had focused on being the Craigslist of information, without attempting to market themselves, they would have gotten a lot more public support. You can't transparently publish information and have an opinion.

Do review comments get publicly shared under the previous model? I'm curious if a large part of this push-back is "I don't want to be held publicly responsible for my review comments..." (the over-taxed, unpaid ones) ...

It's a fair question as to whether the problem space of "the world" is different in just amount or sufficiently different in kind to flummox AI. I expect more complex problems will be mapped/abstracted to lower cardinali

It's an important distinction as we move into a statically-usually-true AI future (vs the deterministically-true recent past). It doesn't matter until it does. Showing pretty pictures of the moon on Instagram? Doesn't matter.
