modern version of printing money is Quantitative Easing, but the US is in the opposite, Quantitative Tightening mode since 2022. Federal Reserve is essentially taking money out of circulation for the last two years.

To clarify my question, the article speaks about 10+ years of intense effort to certify F35, which probably means more than just new safety protocols or a mounting mechanism. Further, it says that F35 is the first nuclear capable Gen 5 figh

Worries me a bit that an established “natural selection” process pivoted towards quick turnaround. Thirty years ago publishing house would decline 99% of the manuscripts, the rest they will heavily edit, print in somewhat large numbers, and

Evernote peaked around 2013 and was loosing users ever since. There’s no way to salvage the product at this point, they squeeze the last drops of revenue from their piece of the market before it’s completely gone. Look at the trend: https:

Building an LLM wrapper is quick money right now, thus the abundance of pointless businesses, and AI fatigue. I optimistically think that when the initial interest weans off, people will find creative ways to leverage generative ai in less
